How to Save Money at Lakeside Pet Hospital
Schedule Regular Vet Visits
One of the best ways to save on vet bills is to prevent expensive health issues before they develop. By scheduling regular wellness checkups, your vet can detect health issues early, helping you to avoid costly treatments and surgeries down the road.
Price Shop for Pet Prescriptions
Oftentimes our fur babies are prescribed human drugs off-label. Your vet is apt to charge more for these medications than you would pay at your local pharmacy. In fact, big-box or chain pharmacies can offer steep discounts. So it’s best to price shop.
Pet Insurance
Most pet insurance providers will pay between 80% and 90% of the vet bill. You can even get coverage for routine care and things like vaccinations and dental cleanings. If you do the math, you’ll most likely find that pet insurance makes financial sense in the long run as well as gives you peace of mind.

Get Quotes & CompareGetting to Know Your New Vet: Essential Questions to Ask
Choosing a new veterinarian is an important decision for any pet owner. You want to find someone who is competent, compassionate, and a good fit for you and your fur baby. To help you get the most out of your first appointment, here's a list of essential questions to ask your new vet:
Tell me about your experience with [pet type].
Different vets have different areas of specialization. Some are experts with cats, some dogs, some pocket pets, and some horses. Knowing that your vet has vast experience treating your specific type of pet can bring you peace of mind.
How do you handle emergencies?
You must know what to do in case of a pet medical emergency. Inquire what after-hours policy the clinic has, whether they have on-site emergency care available, and if they have a relationship with any nearby emergency animal hospitals.
How do you communicate with pet owners?
Good communication is key to building a trusting relationship with your vet. Ask how they prefer to communicate (phone calls, emails, online portal) and how often you can expect to hear from them.
Are there any breed-specific health concerns I should be aware of?
Some breeds are predisposed to certain health conditions. Knowing what to watch out for can help you catch problems early and get your pet the treatment they need.
Do you have any questions for me about my pet?
This is a great question to ask because the answer will show that the vet is interested in getting to know your pet as an individual and is willing to listen to your concerns.
Bonus question: Can I take a tour of your facility?
Getting a feel for the clinic's environment can help you and your pet feel more comfortable during your visits. Remember, you’re not just looking for a veterinarian, you’re looking for a partnership. Do not be afraid to ask these questions and any others you can think of. Any vet worth their salt will be happy to answer them. Because the more informed you are, the better equipped you'll be to make decisions about your pet's care! And that should be every vet’s top priority.

Best in the business. I almost hate to let the secret out how good this place is. Both vets are amazing and compassionate. The staff is amazing.

My dog is reactive and anxious and going to the vet can be a nightmare sometimes. I have never been so comfortable and happy with a veterinary office. They were so kind, and unlike other places, they didn’t make me feel bad about having to muzzle him so he could be examined closely and even helped me get the muzzle on him. Dr. Solinger was very knowledgeable and listened to all my concerns and the tech and receptionist (I wish I remembered their names!) made everything quick and easy. The Dr. came up with a plan to help my guys stomach issues and he hasn’t been sick a single time since we started his new regimen. Thank you so much Lakeside Pet Hospital!

They took time to thoroughly examine, ask if I had any questions as well as advised that my pup did and maybe didn't need. No pushing anybodys products, vaccines, meds, etc.! I encountered extremely kind and pleasant people working there!

We've been to a lot of vets in the past and now we can stop looking. We will not go anywhere else. Dr. Kaplow is very kind and thoughtful in the treatment of our ancient little 17 year old Havanese and our younger Goldendoodle. The clinic is spotless and the staff are super friendly. Being able to trust your fur kids are getting the best care available is super important. I feel like at Lakeside Pet Hospital they are getting this specialized treatment and we couldn't be happier.

I can’t imagine taking my boys to any other vet! Dr Kaplow and staff are amazing and have taken the best care of all of my animals for years, he has seen some of my pets from 8 weeks old until old age took them away, he has seen me and my pets through healthy times as well as cancer and other unfortunate illness and had been kind, caring and knowledgeable through it all. Dr Kaplow treats every animal as if it was his own and has been there for my pets during office hours, at 2 am when one of my dogs passed from a stroke and even met us at the clinic at midnight on Christmas Eve when my daughters dog got into chocolate! Dr Kaplow always gives me every option for every situation and talks me through everything to help me make the best choices for my pets and is nothing short of the best veterinarian you can find.
