Services
In-House Diagnostics
Our clinic provides rapid blood chemistry analysis and complete blood count testing for sick pets. Using advanced analyzers, we detect metabolic diseases like kidney and liver conditions while identifying anemia or infections. Results enable immediate treatment decisions for critical cases, with access to specialized external labs for complex diagnostics.
Surgical Procedures
We perform soft-tissue surgeries and dental cleanings using gas anesthesia for patient safety. Certified technicians monitor vital signs during procedures while maintaining body temperature with heated blankets. Our surgical services include tooth extractions, gum surgery, and post-operative care in heated recovery kennels.
Behavior Counseling
Our certified trainers address behavioral issues through in-home visits and group classes. Services cover obedience training, separation anxiety management, and cooperative care techniques. We specialize in helping fearful pets become comfortable with veterinary procedures through positive reinforcement methods.
Emergency Referrals
For after-hours emergencies, we refer patients to 24/7 regional clinics in Madison and Waukesha. Our team provides initial stabilization before transfers and maintains communication with emergency facilities to ensure continuity of care for critical cases requiring specialized treatment.
Cooperative Care Training
This specialized program helps fearful animals voluntarily participate in medical procedures. Through positive reinforcement techniques, pets learn to accept handling for exams, vaccinations, and treatments. The program reduces stress for both animals and owners during veterinary visits and at-home care routines.

Dr. Stork and his staff are great. We have a 16 year old cockapoo who has been seeing them since she was a pup.

Dr Wilder and staff were so sweet, gentle and caring with my senior cat. I felt very comfortable with them. When your furbabe doesnt feel well you just want someone to treat them with respect and kindness and thats what I felt (even if my cat doesnt agree). Thank you.

Excellent staff, wonderful classes and such a variety of classes! Super knowledgeable about all aspects of owning a puppy not just medicine. Kept the vet appointment a positive experience for our puppy. Puppy party and puppy preschool have also been great for our new pup.

I cannot recommend this place enough. Dr. Stork is unparalleled in his knowledge for your four-legged best friend. After having a poor experience at another provider, we found our way to Dr. Stork who helped diagnose our former Goldens cancer. Though the cancer had progressed too far by the time we found him, we wont take our current dogs anywhere else now. We have since moved out of Lake Mills and drive over an hour to see him because no other vet compares. In addition to our Golden, we have a very scared rescue. The staff at Lake Mills Vet Clinic is incredible with him. Making him feel
