Lakeview Small Animal Surgery

Lakeview Small Animal Surgery is a long-established veterinary practice; its website says it was established 42 years ago, and there is no indication on that site that it is part of a corporate group. It appears equipped for both routine care and more involved medical and surgical work, with on-site diagnostic, laboratory and dental equipment. Owner feedback particularly highlights Linda’s thorough approach to difficult cases, compassionate handling of urgent presentations, and referral onward to the neighbouring referral clinic when more advanced input is needed.

Services

• •Routine pet care: vaccinations, parasite treatments, microchipping, neutering and spaying are all listed, covering the usual preventive and day-to-day needs.
• •Dental, diagnostic and laboratory work: the practice website mentions dental equipment along with diagnostic and laboratory equipment, and one owner specifically mentions their pug receiving a full exam.
• •Surgical care: the clinic states that it carries out both routine and complex surgical procedures.
• •Travel and species range: pet passports are listed, and the website also mentions care for small furries as well as large animal services.
• •Urgent and onward care: owners describe bringing pets in with urgent problems, including an elderly dog seen in an emergency, and reviews also mention referral next door to a vet referral clinic when needed.
