Client Reviews

So welcoming!

I cannot thank the team enough. I have never found a veterinarian that is so welcoming and loves my animals as much as I do. I tell everyone how amazing you all are every chance I get and always recommend you to others that are looking for a safe and loving place to bring their fur babies. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for always putting my babies first and ensuring they get the best care possible.Thank you!

Awesome Review

Love the care my pets receive from all the Lakeside staff from Mackenzie at the front desk, to Celeste and her cheery, helpful nature to Dr. Martin and her thorough, thoughtful assessment and care. Never leave without my questions answered but I know they are available by phone/email should one arise. Would recommend Lakeside to anyone with a furry family member.

Great Job

Thanks so much for doing your curbside heart worm testing today! This is our second time doing it this way and it is so quick, easy and organized. Now we’re all set with flea, tick and heart worm meds and it took less than 5 minutes. Great job once again! Thank you very much.

Special Attention

I can’t thank you enough for giving Rico special attention on Friday! Being a highly sensitive dog with anxiety I was worried as to how he would react to a new environment! It was great to have him come back without shaking or upset at all. I love the report card which shows me his overall health. So I can say I’m super happy his first visit was amazing and hope he continues to stay healthy and enjoy visiting all of you! Thanks again.

Thank you Lakeside Animal Hospital for the warm welcome of our new puppy, Murphy! As always, the care received was top notch, and all questions answered. Looking forward to raising this little guy to be a healthy, happy and loving addition to our family.
