How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Lakeview Animal Hospital

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

Dr Baxter and staff are amazing. Been going to them for all of my pet needs for 15 years with dozens of animals and I wouldn't consider going anywhere else. We've had a few sketchy situations over the years and Dr Baxter pulled everyone through each time. We love Lakeview.

Not a big fan of this vet. After a brief conversation she became pleasant, but I just don’t think “your dog is going to die soon” is the best thing to open a conversation with. I understand her point, my dog is a a bit overweight, and I am doing the work now and taking her advice to help with this problem. But by the end of the conversation I asked if there was plenty of time to help him lose the weight and become healthy again and she said “Oh yes, plenty of time.” So I really don’t understand the cold opener to the conversation. The other staff were fantastic, very friendly and I can see they really love the animals. But I dunno if she was having a bad day or what but the Dr was absolutely not very pleasant. At all. This was my first time here, I may try once more down the road, but I certainly would not recommend her to anyone else, personally. Also, one other note I tried to point out a couple other problems I wanted her to look at and she completely ignored me. She made a comment but did not even try to look at what I was talking about. This isn’t trying to be mean or criticize the place, it’s just my personal experience I thought I would share, after some thought.

There is so much value in having someone you trust love your animal as much as you do. Thank you Dr Baxter and team!

I do not know about their care, but I was talked down to twice by 2 dames who worked there. I was told to sit outside to fill out the paperwork. I was shouted at twice if I had an appointment (to which I did). Besides being a place for animal care they need the business of the animal owner ($) and that is no way to do it. Heck with them, there is no shortage of vets in this town. Shameful.
