We brought our 14 year old Pekingese and 4 yr old Maltese-Lhasa in for a thorough grooming. For the past 2 yrs I have been grooming them because it seems every time I take them to a groomer they develop ear problems. This time I was so impressed! First, no ear problems! Second, they LOOK so CUTE!! Our Peke had her fur trimmed to 1" and she looks so buff! Her nails look great and she is so clean and soft, and happy! Our Maltese had his fur trimmed to 1" and looks just great. The groomer did just what we asked. The price was e... read more

I love lakeside. I've been going for around 2 years now. Dr. Gonzalez is amazing, and she really loves animals. I have birds and she's very knowledgeable about them. I was really lucky to find an avian vet, even luckier to find one as caring as she. And pricing seems to be very fair. And I never, ever have a problem getting a same day appointment, which is really lucky since birds seem to find trouble!

New to the area and was happy I was able to get a last minute appointment for some shots and nice pedicure for my dalmatian. the staff was really friendly and Lucy wasnt nervous at all which was most important really. The doctor even sent me a nice note welcoming me and Lucy to her practice. We'll be back for another nail trim soon!

I love Lakeside Animal Hospital. Have taken my two Pugs there for 10 years and received the best care. One was an older dog with all kinds of issues and the other was a new puppy that I wanted to get on a good wellness plan from the beginning. Great place go -- friendly and thorough.

I have been taking my pets to Lakeside for over a decade, and although I've moved to a different part of town, I would drive however far needed to keep my furkids under the care of Dr. Gonzalez. While they have undergone some staffing changes over the past decade, including a few vets through the practice, The constant has been Dr. G. and her dedication to her patients. I haven't met the newer doctors in the practice, but I've seen them interact with patients, including exotics, in the lobby - and they have great "bedside m... read more

I have been going to Lakeside Animal hospital for almost 2 years now for my adopted dog's many medical needs and Dr. Gonzales has proven to be a fantastic vet. As always, Dr. Gonzales has an excellent table-side manner with her furry patients and knew how to handle my highly-strung, very fearful American Eskimo Dog during his annual visit and his latest dental procedure. During Oliver's latest dental surgery (3 teeth flawlessly removed), Dr. Gonzales noticed a heart murmur and referred us to a local cardiologist (CVCA on... read more

My pets have been patients at Lakeside for years, however the care received in the past several weeks has prompted this review. Since the end of October, Dr. Fustukjian has been treating my two "rescue" Bearded Dragons who had questionable husbandry prior to adoption. He has taken a considerable amount of time to answer my questions and show me how to properly administer treatment. He has never tried to push testing or procedures, but rather provided me with the appropriate information to make responsible decisions for my ... read more

After going to another vet and still being concerned about my dog who was very sick, I called Lakeside Animal Hospital. They were immediately concerned and without an appt told me to bring her in. Dr. Gonzalez said she needed iv fluids and oxygen and they immed. did a sonogram. They were very concerned with her status and very compassionate. She ended up being very sick and they scheduled a surgery for the following day. One of the staff members Danielle, offered to check in on her at 1:30 in the am out of her free time, whi... read more

They treated my two elderly bunnies with such love and care. Super knowledgeable about all things bunny!! I trust them completely. The only thing is our appointments consistently start late, so don't schedule the appointment if you have somewhere to be in a hurry after
