How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Lakeview 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

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.

Not only are the staff extremely nice and caring, but Dr Katy has gone out of her way to offer a home visit, let me call in with all my questions I've had. She has also be so fair and willing to help me make payment arrangements(no where else in town would give that courtesy), when I had to wait for my next paycheck to pay my bill. If you are needing vet care for livestock/farm animals, or house pets I highly encourage you to give them a visit. You wont be disappointed. Fairly priced as well!!

My cat used to be terrified going to the vet for her checkups and she just loves these guys. They're very caring people

I would defintely recommend this place! We are not from the area and were driving on the highway when I noticed my dog was having some sort of allergic reaction. I called them and they told me I could bring him in. The doctors treated my dog immediately. The doctors and the staff were very very professional and helpful. We very appreciate that we were able to bring our dog and they helped him so quickly and the pricing was very reasonable. If we lived in the area, we would use them as our vet.

Lakeview isn't just a business. They care about your animal, not just for it. And they care about and for the pet owner too, not about making a buck. Recently, we had to put a dog down, who had been part of our family for 8 years. The vet laid out the medical situation, explaining the dog's medical situation, and the relative costs involved. (Euthanasia was the least expensive.) When I asked the vet what she would do if the dog were hers, she said she'd put the dog down too. She sat with us, petting the dog as we wept over it, taking time out of her busy schedule to comfort us. She stayed with us as long as we wished to stay, hugging each of left. A few days later, we got a condolence card, signed by each staff member. Lakeview puts the "care" into veterinary care. I'll never go anywhere else.
