Pet Wellness Exams
Our comprehensive wellness exams detect early health issues through nose-to-tail assessments tailored to your pet's age and lifestyle. We create customized vaccination schedules and nutrition plans while monitoring chronic conditions. Regular checkups help maintain optimal health through early intervention strategies that address potential problems before they escalate.
Emergency Vet Care
Available 24/7 through our hospital partnerships, our emergency services handle trauma, poisoning, breathing difficulties, and other critical conditions. We provide immediate diagnostics like blood analysis and X-rays while stabilizing patients for advanced care. Our protocols ensure rapid response for life-threatening situations requiring surgical intervention or specialized treatment.
Pet Boarding
Our temperature-controlled boarding facilities offer spacious kennels with regular playtime and personalized attention. Trained staff monitor pets daily while administering medications as needed. The veterinary team provides medical oversight, ensuring any health concerns during stays receive prompt treatment from experienced professionals.
Surgical Procedures
We perform routine and complex surgeries using modern anesthetic protocols and multi-modal pain management. Our capabilities include soft tissue operations, mass removals, and dental procedures with pre-operative assessments to minimize risks. Post-operative care includes recovery monitoring and detailed home care instructions for optimal healing.
Diagnostic Testing
Advanced diagnostics like digital X-rays, ultrasound, and electrocardiograms help identify internal issues affecting organ function and mobility. We utilize thermal imaging for inflammation assessment and endoscopy for minimally invasive internal examinations. These tools enable precise diagnoses that guide effective treatment plans for complex medical conditions.

I wouldnt trust my pets health to any other vet. They truly understand how important your pets are.

I love Lakeside Animal Clinic. It is hard to find a vet to trust. I love the treatment towards our dogs and how they follow up with them to make sure they are okay even AFTER the appointment. The staff here is extremely qualified and they truly care for animals. We used to live close to this animal clinic. Now that we have moved far, we still do the drive in order to continue getting adequate care here. I highly recommend it. In the regards to the pricing, it is competitive with other vets. I personally would rather give this animal clinic my money ANYDAY over any other clinic as long as my dogs

By far the best veterinary clinic Ive ever been to in my 13 years as a pet owner. They have taken care of my beloved senior dog Luke for over a year now and they have helped him immensely. Theyre the most attentive, most communicative, and friendliest clinic. My dog and I absolutely adore everyone in the clinic and cannot recommend Lakeside enough.

Gege and Dr. Bush did a great job taking care of Autumn on a unexpected visit. Gege was very sweet to Autumn and took time to explain the discharge paperwork and medicine. Keep up the great work!

I cannot recommend Lakeside Animal Clinic enough! They saved our sweet puppy who had parvo. They took such great care of her and kept us in the loop every step of the way. They really care about the animals they treat. All the staff is so friendly and knowledgeable. Dr. Wiltshire went above and beyond for us and for our puppy.
