Our Services

We are here for every stage of your pet’s life. From puppy & kitten visits to senior pets, you can count on Lakeshore Animal Hospital to provide exceptional health care.

Do you know that your pet’s yearly physical examination is the equivalent of a human seeing their doctor once every seven years?
We know surgery is stressful for both pets and their owners. Your pet’s safety and comfort are extremely important to us. All pets undergo a thorough physical examination the morning of their surgery as well as pre-anesthetic bloodwork and heartworm testing to make sure they are in the best health possible for their procedure.
Lakeshore Animal Hospital utilizes state of the art diagnostic testing to give us more information about your pet’s health. These tests give us an inside look at your pet’s health, often detecting diseases that we cannot identify on physical exam alone.
Every visit includes an evaluation of your pet’s oral health. Red gums, heavy tartar accumulation, bad breath, a decreased appetite and pawing at the mouth are just a few of the signs of dental disease in our pets. Did you know that good dental care can lengthen your pet’s life by 10-20 percent?
We know how difficult it is to say goodbye to a beloved family pet. It is a journey that, unfortunately, every pet owner must navigate. Our kind and compassionate staff will guide both you and your pet through their final moments with the dignity, peace, and comfort your pet deserves.
