How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Lakeside Veterinary Clinic

Preventive care

Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.

Compare prescription pricing

Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.

Consider pet insurance

Dr Linda is the best. All my furbabies are well taken care of because of her.

Jul 18, 2023

Had to take my cat in and the vet is very nice, efficient and has a great sense of humor. Very affordable as well.

Dr. Linda is by far the very best veterinarian I have ever experienced. Since I was an animal science/wildlife & fisheries biology major, with veterinary clinical experience, initially with intentions of becoming an exotic animal veterinarian, that is saying a lot. Dr. Linda has cared for 3 of my fur family members now. She offers common sense integrative medicine solutions for many problems. She only brings pets in to be seen when they really need to be seen and only administers care and medications that they honestly need. She is just as likely to say, "If you want it, I can give it to your pet, but the pet does not need X,Y, or Z medication/shot/treatment in this area, so I wouldn't bother with it or recommend it." One of her favorites, "Well, if it were my pet, I would....." If it is good enough for Dr. Linda's fur babies, I definitely want mine to have the best, so I will go with her recommendation and she has always been right on point. If she does recommend a homecare solution, you can bet she will be following up to make sure your pet is doing well. I cannot recommend a vet more highly than I recommend Dr. Linda. The animals love her and she loves them.

Took my new puppy Winnie there and Dr was peaceful and patient with lots of advice for a new puppy parent. Highly recommend

Dr. Powers and Kelly were both kind and professional. During our visit, it was clear that Dr. powers is a conscious caregiver. To her, it's more than an appointment to care for just another dog or cat, it's about imparting knowledge onto the pet owners so they can provide the best care possible for their own pets. Dr. Powers seems to me to be an honest and straight forward doctor. I would recommend Lakeside Veterinary Clinic, Inc.
