Services
Lakeside Veterinary Hospital in Carbondale is committed to providing unrivaled veterinary medical services. Take a few minutes to read about the history of our practice (Our History), what we stand for (Our Core Values), the family at Lakeside that is here for you (Our Team), and what other people think about us (Testimonials).
In 1975 Dr. David Lane graduated from the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine and moved to Los Angeles, CA. He practiced small animal and equine medicine at two locations in the San Gabriel valley. The doors were first opened at the Sweets Corner Business Center one mile east of our current location in Carbondale.
It is very difficult to determine medical conditions, patient stability and treatment options or fees by phone (without an examination). If you are concerned for any reason, please call in advance and have your pet examined as soon as possible. For your convenience, Lakeside Veterinary Hospital's Carbondale location is open 7 days a week and is happy to help you and your pet in an emergency any time from 12pm - 12am!
We lead by example with moral and ethical principles as we pursue a commitment to the highest standard of care. Every day we will strive to exceed expectations in all that we do. As individuals we will treat our clients, patients, and each other with the utmost respect and communicate effectively to achieve excellence in all that we do.
I want to thank Lakeside Veterinary Hospital for being so wonderful during some difficult times. In the last year we have had to say good bye to two loved dogs. They helped us through, with compassion and understanding. Also, one of my dogs had ongoing issues that they helped us with in a caring and professional way.

Very friendly staff. DRs are very helpful. Actually gave us more insight into our cat that we were unaware of. Very knowledgeable and let you know ahead of time of any unforeseen costs.

We had an amazing experience here. Our little girl had to be put down and they were so supportive and even gave me a paw print stone to remember her. A week later I received a card with their condolences. Amazing staff and they actually care about you regardless if you're a forever patient or.one time.

I would give the Dr a 5 star but receptionists I just spoke to that told me I basically had no say in my kittens treatment plan and argued with me with complete disregard was not ok for a paying client! This kind of behavior will eventually kill that business when something better comes around with professional standards!

I'm satisfied with my experience with this Vet Hospital. What happened was my poor Patches got hurt. She is a six year old cat. She had a pretty large laceration on her side. We got there at 4 p.m. and we didn't leave until about 6:50 p.m. They did their best with her and she made it through and she's at home resting now. The cost was very expensive but it is off time and a Sunday. I'm hoping she makes a full recovery. They are very interested on making sure that the animal is not in pain. They are very sweet people and very understanding. As far as the care that we receive I would definitely recommend

My dog had passed away from cancer a week ago on the weekend. My own vet wasn't available. I called Lakeside Veterinary clinic. They were very kind and sincere. They offered cremation services. Becky was so helpful giving directions to clinic. She personally came out to get my dear pet. She gave me some time to say goodbye to my dog. They seem to be so understanding. I will be going back Wednesday to get my dogs ashes and a clay paw print they had made for me. I would recommend their services to anyone.

Fantastic emergency care. They were super patient with me as I was so upset and not thinking clearly. The level of professionalism and care they provided my dog was top notch. I was made aware of everything they were doing and provided estimates promptly before each step. The drive was well worth the peace of mind they gave me.

This is Thomas. We adopted him in 2017. Thomas was a wonderful family member. His last visit to the vetanarian was sad. Four hours after leaving the vet, Thomas was seen at Lakeside Hospital. We wanted to give Thomas the greatest care available to help him remain healthy. His health detoriated quickly. Lakeside staff kept my family informed of Thomas condition. They allowed us time to sit with Thomas. We talked to him, rubbed his beautiful fur and expressed how much we loved him. Lakeside staff treated my family respectfully and with dignity. Upon Thomas transition from this Life, Lakeside gave
