Services
Lakeside Veterinary Clinic is a small animal veterinary clinic providing comprehensive preventative, medical, surgical, and dental care. Dr. Sabean is also licensed in Medical Veterinary Acupuncture (MAV) for pets through CuraCore. We provide a broad spectrum of diagnostic tests which are available right in the clinic (such as X-rays and blood tests); we also use external laboratories for specialized tests when needed.
Because of the shorter lifespan of our pets, we stress the importance of an annual physical examination. Thorough check-ups and preventive care can help alleviate serious health problems. Our hospital is equipped to provide diagnostic and therapeutic services to care for your pets' complete health care needs.
No one can anticipate certain types of emergencies after clinic hours, but we know it is important to have a plan when the unexpected happens. Clients with emergencies after hours are encouraged to contact the emergency numbers listed below as soon as possible. Knowledgeable staff is available throughout the nights and weekends to answer your questions and examine and treat your pet if needed.
At what age can I have my pet spayed or neutered? Spaying or neutering can be done at approximately 6 months of age. However, recent studies suggest that larger breed dogs, such as Golden Retrievers, may benefit from later neutering at 8 to 12 months, to allow bone growth to be complete. Your pet is given an exam prior to surgery to help determine whether your pet is healthy enough to undergo the surgical procedure.

Amazing! Such a positive experience! I just can’t say enough. The staff and doctor were all top notch and very friendly. They take the time to talk to you and answer any questions or concerns you have. The doctor even complimented me on how well I take care of my dog. Highly recommended! Thank you Lakeside Vet!

Lakeside is hands down the best practice around here. Dr. Sabean worked wonders with my old girl, and I will always be grateful for her empathy and care. If you are lucky enough to get in here, count your blessings. Knowledgeable, caring, and ethical is hard to come by and Lakeside has it all.

Have your mask handy... Call the clinic to let them know your outside and they will come out and pick up your pet and bring them in while you wait in your car. They will phone you with updates and then bring your pet back out after the visit is done.

Lakeside Vet is a wonderful place to have your pets cared for. Eleanor and the staff are such compassionate, knowledgeable, kind people. I recently lost my dog and they were so supportive and kind. I would recommend them to anyone who wants quality care and professional vet services. I will forever be grateful for the excellent care given to my Merlin

This is THE WORST Veterinarian office I have EVER used.
I am new to the state of Maine.
I am also a breeder of highly prized Italian Mastiffs and needed to bring my dog into this clinic for a simple progesterone test which checks the levels for my female mastiff who was in season. After I was assured by the staff that this was a task they were not only experienced with, but would be able to accomplish, I decided to go ahead and schedule the appointment.

This progesterone test consists of drawing the canine's blood and sending the sample off to their lab then calling to get the results. Sounds
