How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Lakewood Veterinary Center
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

I am proud to bring my dear puppy to Dr Wright at Lakewood Vet. Since she’s been a puppy all of the staff, techs, and Dr Wright has been caring and attentive to my puppy and have helped make sure she is properly cared for. I really like the office and location, but most of all I care about the quality of care and attention to my dog. I can only make the highest recommendation that your puppy will receive high quality, modern, and scientifically supported medical care here. Dr Wright’s patient explanations, calm and relaxed demeanor, and skill have served our family well. Thanks Dr Wright!

We love Lakewood Vet Center. We have been bringing Charlie and Olive and they care for them so much even our Charlie boy who can be unpredictable. They are very patient and provide the best care. 5 stars but would give more if I could!

I want to thank Lakewood Vet Center for the excellent care they provided for our sweet dog Kaya. This is such a fantastic clinic and we enjoyed our many routine visits. I want to especially thank one of the vet techs, Bedford, for the compassion and care he showed for both Kaya and me during our final moments together earlier this week.

Updating review due to new information. The communication issue seemed to be a tech hiccup and unrelated to their impeccable service: Dr. Wright and the team at Lakewood Veterinary Center went above and beyond during one of the most difficult times of my life. My cat was in kidney failure, and Dr. Wright helped us every step of the way, from teaching us how to administer subcutaneous fluids at home to carefully managing her pain for over a year. He was patient, compassionate, and always made sure we understood how to keep her as comfortable as possible. What meant the most was that he gave us clear, kind guidance about what to expect as her condition progressed. When the time came, we were able to make sure she passed peacefully, calmly, and with dignity — and that was only possible because of his support and detailed instructions. Losing a pet is devastating, but having a vet who genuinely cares and takes the time to help you prepare makes all the difference. I will always be grateful for the care we received here. Thank you, Dr. Wright, for helping us give our girl the most loving goodbye we could.

It means so much to me that Deaven and Dr. Wright do not judge my baby's occasionally anxious personality. They understand that no one knows what caused her blindness. The staff at Lakewood treats me and Leaf with respect and seem eager to treat her when we visit. I have seen that Deaven and Dr. Wright treat my concerns with a sense of urgency as well. Leaf is my first cat, so I appreciate all of the education Deaven and Dr. Wright have given me over the past year and a half.
