Lakeside Animal Health

I’ve been bringing my whole crew — 9 dogs, goats, cats, chickens, and a bunny — to this clinic for over 3 years, and I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else. I started coming here on a friend’s recommendation, and it has been nothing short of amazing. The staff is incredible — they take the time to answer all of my questions, respond quickly in emergencies, and are always honest and thorough. My pets are all rescues, so some can be nervous at first, but the team is unbelievably patient and professional. Somehow, every single one of my animals ends up loving them. They truly remember each pet individually, making every visit personal and comforting. The clinic is efficient and organized, keeping track of my whole crew coming in at once with ease. Communication is seamless through their app

I would not personally recommend receiving any vet care or boarding here based on my experience. When I visited, I had to take food in for my dogs as I was planning to board them. I was quickly escorted out and wasn’t allowed back inside the area where the animals are boarded. The boarding area was unclean and had a very strong odor. I was uncomfortable with the size of the cages and the conditions I observed. I also felt that concerns about animal care and outcomes were not taken seriously when I asked questions. Pricing was discussed extensively, but I did not feel the care for my pets were a priority to the vet. Because of these concerns, I would advise pet owners to be cautious and check out other options in town before making the decision to leave a pet in their care.

Dr. Montgomery is the best Vet any of my animals have seen. She goes above and beyond to make sure my animals are happy, healthy & safe at all times! We appreciate her very much!

Dr Groce saved my Bellas life. She had pyrometra and thanks to Dr Groce it was caught in time to save her little life. I now take all my shih tzus there for everything from removing dew claws on the new babies to 6 wk shots and anything else I may need. Dr Groce and Dr Montgomery are the best. As a breeder of shih tzus, I can honestly say they will be getting all my business.

Dr. Montgomery came over last Wednesday to help our old dog, Cali, transition. It was so peaceful! Cali has been stressed going to the vet, and she was not crazy about riding in the car anymore. Dr Montgomery gave her a shot to relax her, then the lethal shot after that. Then she gave us a few minutes to grieve and let our other dogs in to see Cali’s body, so they would realize she was gone. We wanted to have her cremated like all of our other dogs, so she took Cali’s body back with her.
