Providing superior pet care services is a long-term process. During your pet’s initial exam, we spend a considerable amount of time and effort to identify any and all potential medical problems. Preventative care is essential to managing the care for your pet’s long-term health and wellness. Giving your pet the best opportunity for a happy and long life provides your family the peace of mind they deserve.
Performing periodic wellness exams is essential in maintaining your pet’s top health. For every stage of your pet’s life, there are specific medical issues that may need attention. The professional staff at Lakeside Animal Hospital will educate you and address your questions and concerns every step of the way. Routine veterinarian visits not only provide medical peace of mind, but also identify and address behavioral issues that can disrupt the harmony you have with your pet. For new clients, our trained staff consults with you on your pet’s medical history, diet and behavior tendencies. This data is stored after each visit to ensure our veterinarian experts can have a full picture of your pet’s life and can modify your pet’s medical care proactively to maximize their health and behavioral wellness.
In recent years, veterinarian medical analysis and diagnostics have come a long way. For your convenience, our West Broward veterinarian hospital provides extensive diagnostics exams and procedures onsite. This includes detailed blood, urine and stool analysis. X-rays can give your vet an understanding of your pet’s bone structure as well as internal medical issues that are not observable during a visual medical examination. While the veterinarian care process may appear solely medical – it surely isn’t. We understand that your pet’s health and happiness is an important part of your family’s life. We entered our profession because we are life-long pet lovers, too; we understand the happiness that pets bring to our lives and the despair that medical problems can present.
We believe our team of professionals at Lakeside Animal Hospital can be an important part of your pet and family’s wellness. You have our pledge that your pet will receive the best veterinarian medical care possible and this care will be provided in a thorough, professional and thoughtful manner.
At our West Broward Animal Hospital, we have carefully built our team of skilled caregivers and equipped our facility with advanced pet care technology. Our goal is to not only to provide your pet with exceptional veterinarian medical care, but also earn your trust and confidence through a long-term relationship.

West Broward Pet Nutritional Care
The American Animal Hospital Association recommends the following pet nutritional assessment guidelines. Good veterinarian nutrition enhances a pets’ quality and quantity of life, and is integral to optimal animal care.
Dietary Factors for Pet Care
Diet-specific factors include the safety and appropriateness of the diet fed to the animal in question. Problems related to diet factors are referred to as diet-induced disorders (e.g.,nutrient imbalances, spoilage, contamination, adulteration). Animals with these disorders may be treated by feeding a
diet known to be appropriate for the animal.
Feeding Management and Environmental Factors
Feeding factors include the frequency, timing, location and method of feeding, whereas environmental factors include space and quality of the pet’s surroundings. Problems related to feeding and environmental factors are referred to as feeding-related and environment-related disorders (e.g.,
over- or underfeeding, excessive use of treats, poor husbandry, competitive eating in dogs, or lack of appropriate environmental stimulation). These situations require effective communications to produce the appropriate behavioral changes.
Nutritional Assessment
Nutritional assessment is a two-part process.
1. Screening evaluation (lab work) is performed on every animal. Based on this screening, pets that are healthy and without risk factors need no additional nutritional assessment.
2. Extended evaluation is performed when one or more nutrition-related risk factors are found or suspected based on the screening evaluation.
Animal-specific factors
Animal-specific factors include the age, physiological status and activity of the pet. Problems related to animal factors are referred to as nutrient-sensitive disorders (e.g., intolerances, allergies and organ-specific diseases). Diet choice for these animals should be restricted to those formulated to
meet the disease-associated nutritional limitations of the patient animal.
The positive impact of proper nutrition on health and disease is well established in all animals. Appropriate feeding throughout all life stages can help prevent diet-associated diseases, as well as to assist in the management of other diseases. For example, diets formulated for dogs and cats with chronic kidney disease have been shown to provide significant benefits.
West Broward Fl Pet Medications
Flea and Tick Pet Medications
Flea and ticks can pose a seriously threat to your dog’s or cat’s health and create considerable discomfort for your pet. Some dogs and cats are allergic to flea bites, which can make the circumstance even more problematic. South Florida’s warm and humid climate is perfect environment for fleas and ticks to trouble your pet year-round. Sunrise Animal Hospital has the most effective flea and tick treatments and medications available today. Contact Sunrise Animal Hospital today at (954) 474-8808.
Serious issues related to flea bites include tapeworms. When a dog or cats lick themselves from a flea bite, the flea born tapeworm attaches itself to the pet’s intestines as a host for reproduction. In extreme cases, and especially with small breeds, it can cause severe pet anemia.
