Our staff at Lakeside Veterinary Services is filled with passionate animal lovers who are here to help you and your pet! They are highly trained and dedicated to making sure that your pets receive the care and compassion every time they walk in the door!
We offer the following services to keep your pets healthy:
Conventional Care
Your pet's care starts with conventional preventative medicine, which is an easy, inexpensive and important way to keep your pet healthy. Regular physical examinations can detect health issues before they become serious illnesses, while annual vaccinations can keep ailments at bay. Our veterinarians also pay close attention to mobility issues, risk of infections, and any lifestyle or age-related changes. Additionally, it is vital to monitor allergies and changing nutritional needs.
- Annual and semi-annual wellness exams
- Senior wellness exams
- Sick pet visits, either in-office or at-home
If your pet becomes ill, many treatments are available, including:
- Diagnostic Techniques - To determine what's ailing your pet, we utilize physical exams, x-rays, and other diagnostic tools.
- In-House Diagnostic Tests - Specialized tests include Lyme disease, FIV, leukemia, and heartworm, and lab work involves fecal exams, urinalysis tests, and chemistry CBC (Complete Blood Count) labs.
- Medications - Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs may be prescribed to alleviate your pet's illness.
- Surgical Procedures - We present advanced surgical techniques and technology. Surgeries include spay/neuter, tumor biopsy, growth removal, Cesareans, oral surgery, laceration repair, and more.
- Pet Dental Care - Professional cleaning is vital to maintaining your pet's teeth. Without it, plaque and tartar cause painful dental disease and tooth loss.
- Nutritional Counseling - Nutrition is one of the most important aspects in maintaining the health of your pet. Depending on your pet's health issues, we can determine the best food and supplements for the optimal health of your dog or cat.
- Euthanasia - We provide peaceful in-office euthanasia.
Speed Healing and Manage Pain with Laser Therapy
Laser therapy is a well-established technique for pain relief and injury rehabilitation and is safe and effective. It can be used to treat arthritis, spinal disc problems, sprains, strains, and acute and chronic injuries. This type of therapy is beneficial to healing during post-surgery rehabilitation and most effective with multiple treatments.
Lakeside Veterinary Services offers discounted packages for multiple sessions. Please ask about our laser therapy specials.
Dental Care
Dental care is vital to your pet's overall health. In fact, 80 percent of dogs and 70 percent of cats over three years of age suffer from some form of dental disease, making it the most common pet health issue among our pet population. A dental evaluation is part of your pet's physical exam.
Advanced Digital X-rays
At Lakeside Veterinary Services in Montour Falls, NY , we are proud to be on the cutting edge of medical technology. Radiology is a technique and diagnostic tool that we use to look inside the body in an entirely non-invasive way. X-rays allow us to create images of all the body's organs.
In other words, the use of radiology gives us a view of the internal organs in your pets' body that we otherwise could not see. It is a valuable diagnostic tool that helps veterinarians detect and prevent illness.
Wellness Exams
At Lakeside Veterinary Services in Montour Falls, NY , we believe that regular checkups and wellness exams are critical to your pets' well-being. These wellness exams give us a chance to evaluate the overall health of your pet while also giving us a baseline for their unique bodies and tendencies.
Not only do these exams keep us up-to-date with your pets' health, but they also allow us to detect potential problems before they become serious. This thorough checkup gives us vital information to help keep your pet healthy!
Nutritional Counseling
Lakeside Veterinary Services offers nutritional counseling for pet owners of Montour Falls, NY and surrounding communities. If you have any questions about your pet's diet or would like more information about your pet's nutritional needs, please contact us today. We can set up a nutrition plan for your pet.
Obesity is a common problem among pets, as it can be easy to overfeed a cute dog or cat that knows how to beg. Being overweight is a serious problem for animals, and can cause real health problems. With proper diet and exercise, all pets should be able to meet their dietary needs and stay within a healthy weight range.
Behavior Management
We offer solutions for a variety of behavioral issues that pet owners are faced with. Behavioral problems can be challenging and frustrating for both pets and pet owners, so it is our goal to work with you towards a solution.
There are many behaviors that can be negative or destructive, and many pet owners feel helpless in bringing peace to their home. We want you to know that we are here to help, and that undesirable behaviors can be corrected.
Onsite Diagnostics
We have state-of-the-art diagnostic tools that allow our staff to diagnose your pets' condition or illness better. It is our commitment to stay on the cutting edge of diagnostic technology.
Having these advanced diagnostic tools allows us to examine specific areas more carefully and provide a quicker and more accurate diagnosis. We use many tools such as radiology, lab tests, and various other equipment and tests.
Euthanasia
Saying goodbye to your pet can be extremely difficult. The process can be emotionally and mentally draining. We don't want you to be alone at the end stages of a pets' life, and we promise to do everything we can to make it easier on you and your pet. Most of all, we promise to treat each case with compassionate and understanding care.
Knowing when the time is right can be a difficult choice. There are many factors that go into deciding to euthanize a pet, and it is a personal issue that differs from pet owner to pet owner. But every pet owner is inevitably faced with making that tough decision, and we want to be there alongside you to aid in any way we can.
If you have special requests, please let us know and we will be sure to accommodate them. Dealing with the end of a pets' life is never easy, but we want to do whatever we can to make the process less difficult.
