How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Lakeside Veterinary Medicine
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
Pet insurance may help cover a portion of eligible veterinary expenses depending on the plan, including accidents, illnesses, and in some cases preventive care. Coverage details, reimbursement levels, and deductibles vary by provider.

Top notch practice. They CORRECTLY diagnosed one of my cats with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and gave him 6 more months of quality life. The previous practice said he had asthma and almost killed him (seizing, collapsed lung), caused me to rush him for emergency care at 11:00 pm 70 miles away. THEN we went to Lakeside for a second opinion. The staff members are always pleasant and compassionate. When I call they don’t act like they’re too busy to hear what I’m calling about (unlike the previous place).They haven’t overbooked appointments so no waiting area crammed with pets and pet parents. They are worth every penny I’ve ever paid them.

Well been going here for a few years I use to be treated quite well. But my dog hurt her leg and I was told she couldn’t be seen today but could be a drop off on Monday. Why would I drop off my injured dog? Wait all weekend to see a vet. I had to find someone else to look at my dogs leg. Thank goodness she’s ok But being told that she cannot be seen until Monday was upsetting to me. A injured animal should be treated with a priority like a human.

So far, I have been happy to take my dog to this practice because Dr. Brooke is very knowledgeable and very personable to the point my anxious girl isn't jumping out of her fur like she did at the last vet. My girl has been having some GI issues that my previous vet didn't seem to be knowledgeable about, but Dr. Brooke informed me more about GSDs and GSD health. This clinic got us in pretty fast despite most practices taking a minimum of at least a month to get into for new patients, as well as being accommodating to on the fly visits. If I ever have a question then I am comfortable asking Dr. Brooke or anyone on the team because I'll get an answer and no one makes you feel dumb for asking it. Also, every time I have been there the other clients/patients (and owners) are very friendly - a big change from my previous vet. If my 8 month old pup didn't get so carsick then she'd be going to Lakeside as well.

A friend had to put down a kitty cat and the staff and Vet were very helpful and compassionate. I would recommend them.

The staff is very kind and attentive, and we have confidence that both our cats are in good hands when being seen here. Additionally, since my initial review, we had one of our cats fail and subsequently pass, and Lakeside was so helpful and compassionate when we brought her in her last hours. It's never easy to lose a pet, but having kind and thoughtful care during that process makes it a little easier. We will continue to use Lakeside for all our future veterinary needs.
