Expert veterinary services with a personal touch.
Cleary Lake Veterinary Hospital is an independently owned practice proud to serve Prior Lake, MN, and surrounding areas. We are dedicated to providing the highest level of veterinary medicine along with friendly, compassionate service.
Small Animal Medicine refers to the treatment and diagnosis of smaller animals, such as dogs and cats but also many other species of animals. Our staff is highly trained and experienced in how to care for small animals like dogs and cats. Working with animals is our passion and we strive to provide the highest level of care possible for your pets.
From the moment they walk through our doors, our clients tell us they feel welcomed, heard, and confident their pets are in caring hands. They appreciate our friendly, knowledgeable team who takes the time to explain every step, answer questions, and treat each pet with patience, kindness, and respect.
Many have shared how comforting it is to know their pets—whether dogs, cats, or horses—receive genuine compassion, even during stressful or urgent situations. Same-day appointments, after-hours care, thorough exams, and clear communication help bring peace of mind when it matters most.
What means the most to us is hearing that pets are treated like family here—showered with love, handled gently, and cared for as individuals. Our clients consistently tell us they trust our team completely and wouldn’t go anywhere else, because the level of care, dedication, and heart they experience at Cleary Lake Veterinary Hospital is truly worth it.
Thank you to our amazing clients for trusting us with what matters most. We’re honored to care for your animals—today and always.

“My dog has had a few less than pleasant vet experiences, which makes him uneasy when we arrive for visits typically. Zeus walked right into the facility and went with the tech without a struggle when it was time! Staff were extremely thorough and informative! I appreciate them going the extra mile to make our experience a wonderful one! Thank you! We are so grateful!”
“My dog needed urgent care and Dr. Tate got her in early the next day. The care and owner involvement is always great at Cleary Lake! We have all of our dogs and horses under the skilled care of the Cleary Lake team!!! Thank you for the great care- appreciate your team of Vets, Techs, and office staff- outstanding care!!!”
