How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Lakeside 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
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.

My eight year old lab was recently diagnosed with cancer of the spleen. His ruptured tumor was removed at Lakeside with no issues. I chose to continue Henry's care which started with chemotherapy at Lakeside. I was told numerous times by the vets at Lakeside that the chemotherapy was expensive because I was paying for a tech to sit next to Henry to make sure the chemo didn't leak into the vein while being given. Needless to say over 20 cc of chemo leaked outside the vein into Henry's leg before anyone paid any attention. The day of this incident, I rushed Henry to another veterinary office in West Ashley. Henry spent three days at this clinic and Dr Jones did pay for the care Henry received there. I chose to put Henry to sleep this morning. It was the most humane thing to do. He simply could not overcome the chemo malfunction and the subsequent complications from it. I would caution anyone whose pet needs chemo before you take them to Lakeside for treatment.

Nothing but the best people working here. They are very compassionate about people and their pets. Very understanding and knowledgeable. The doctors are experienced and take the time to answer any questions you might have. They also have regular vet schedules so better believe we bring all 500 of pets here (wife said I might be exaggerating 🤷)

Lakeside animal hospital was the 12th vet office I called for my animal to be seen on a Saturday morning. While my cat needed to be urgently seen, and I was ready to visit the ER clinic if needed, I wanted to avoid it if possible. I had been denied an appointment by every other clinic; one being his usual practice, and two that I had even previously worked at. I felt as though I was being denied because they all closed at noon and it was easier to shove us off to CVRC. Lakeside was my last attempt and they immediately offered me an appointment in 20 minutes. Dr C. Trotter and her tech were so incredibly kind to me, my husband, and my cat, Cayden. I will forever be grateful for their compassion and assistance that day, and his appointments since!

This is the best veterinary office we’ve ever been to! Not only do they take care of our fur baby while not trying to rip you off like other places I’ve been- they are amazing people. They go above and and beyond every single time to make sure everyone is happy. I will never go anywhere else. Thank you Lakeside
