Veterinary services at Lakewood Veterinary Hospital
The official services page describes comprehensive veterinary care for dogs and cats, from routine prevention to diagnostics and procedures.
Wellness and prevention
Routine nose-to-tail exams, preventive plans, vaccines, parasite prevention, health screening, and age-appropriate care for puppies, kittens, adults, and senior pets.
Testing and diagnostics
Diagnostic testing helps identify illness earlier, establish health baselines, evaluate symptoms, and guide treatment decisions.
Advanced care
The clinic describes advanced medical care for dogs and cats, including management of many medical and surgical needs within the hospital.
Surgical procedures
Routine and advanced surgical procedures are described as part of the clinic’s service range, with modern equipment and best practices.
Dental care

Pharmacy, food, and medications
Use the clinic’s pharmacy and food/medication ordering routes for eligible prescriptions, preventives, and refill requests after veterinary approval.
Diagnostics, testing, and illness workups
Diagnostics are used when a physical exam alone cannot explain symptoms or when a baseline is needed before treatment.
| Diagnostic need | What it may help evaluate | Pet owner preparation |
|---|---|---|
| Bloodwork | Infection, anemia, kidney/liver values, diabetes, thyroid issues, hydration, and medication safety. | Ask whether fasting is needed and bring medication names and doses. |
| Urine or stool testing | Urinary symptoms, kidney concerns, diabetes clues, parasites, diarrhea, and digestive problems. | Ask whether to bring a fresh sample and how to store it. |
| Imaging or advanced diagnostics | Pain, injury, internal symptoms, foreign-object concern, chronic disease, masses, and organ changes. | Tell the team if your pet is painful, anxious, pregnant, or hard to position. |
| Senior screening | Age-related changes before obvious illness appears. | Bring notes about appetite, thirst, urination, weight, mobility, behavior, and medication changes. |
Surgery and dental visit planning
Surgical and dental procedures usually need pre-visit instructions, estimate review, anesthesia planning, and home-care instructions.
Pet travel certificates and USDA-accredited veterinarian questions
The official advanced-care service page explains that some destinations require an exam by a USDA-accredited veterinarian plus specific vaccines, tests, timelines, and certificate endorsement.
Pharmacy, food, medication refills, and pet portal requests
Medication refills are smoother when your pet has a current exam, required lab monitoring, and accurate dosing history.
| Need | Best action | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Routine medication refill | Call the clinic or use the pet portal route if you are an existing client. | Pet name, medication name, strength, dose, frequency, remaining supply, and pickup or shipping preference. |
| Heartworm, flea, or tick prevention | Ask whether current testing or weight confirmation is needed. | Last heartworm test, pet weight, prevention history, and missed-dose timeline. |
| Prescription diet or food order | Use the food and medication ordering link or call for availability. | Diet name, bag/case size, flavor, medical reason, and pickup timing. |
| Controlled or monitored medication | Call early and ask whether exam, bloodwork, or recheck is required. | Refill rules, doctor approval, lab due date, and safe dosing instructions. |
How to request pet medical records
Records are useful for boarding, grooming, daycare, travel, emergencies, second opinions, insurance claims, and specialist referrals.
| Record type | Why you may need it | What to request |
|---|---|---|
| Vaccine history | Boarding, grooming, dog daycare, travel, apartments, training, and rabies proof. | Rabies certificate, core vaccines, bordetella, leptospirosis, influenza, and due dates if applicable. |
| Lab results | Chronic disease, medication monitoring, senior care, surgery clearance, and second opinions. | Bloodwork, urinalysis, fecal, heartworm test, thyroid testing, and outside lab reports. |

| Complete chart | Moving clinics, insurance claim, complex illness, legal documentation, or referral care. | Complete medical record with exam notes, diagnoses, medications, lab results, imaging, surgery notes, and invoices if needed. |
Billing, estimates, insurance, and payment planning
Ask for an estimate before non-routine diagnostics, surgery, dental care, travel certificates, hospitalization, or large medication orders.
Ask for an estimate
Before diagnostics or procedures, ask what is included, what is optional, and what could change after the doctor examines your pet.
Pet insurance claims
Many pet insurance plans reimburse the owner after payment. Ask for an itemized invoice and medical notes if your insurer requires them.
Medication costs
Ask whether preventives, antibiotics, pain medication, prescription food, lab monitoring, or rechecks are included in the estimate.
