Lakefield Veterinary Group

Join us for a journey down memory lane as we mark the 10th anniversary of Lakefield Veterinary Group – a decade dedicated to elevating the standards of pet healthcare with compassion and expertise. Thank you to all our hospitals and clients who made this possible! ?

We had a very special guest at our booth at the Pacific Northwest Veterinary Conference in Tacoma last month - meet Toast, the star of the show! ??

Happy Vet Tech Week to our amazing vet techs! ?? Each year in mid-October, we celebrate National Veterinary Technician Week to honor the essential role vet techs play in animal care. You are the heart and hands behind every patient we care for, and we couldn't do what we do without you. From delivering WOW service to your endless dedication to learning, you go above and beyond every single day. Your compassion, respect, and commitment to doing the right thing inspire us all. We're beyond grateful to have such an incredible team that brings so much energy, expertise, and fun to our hospitals. THANK YOU for everything you do! ?? #VetTechWeek #VetTechs #WOWService

A big update from South Metro Animal Emergency Care's ongoing pet supply donation drive! Thanks to the generosity of their community, they were able to make an early delivery of much-needed supplies to Coco’s Heart ahead of their Fast and Furriest Car Show in September. ?? The team at South Metro is proud to be living one of Lakefield's missions of Giving Back by supporting pets in need. This initiative wouldn’t be possible without the amazing contributions from the community. Together, we’re driving positive change—one donation at a time! ?? #CocosHeart #FastAndFurriest #SouthMetroAnimalEmergency #GivingBack

After an incredible 30+ years of dedication, we are happy to announce the retirement of Dr. Larry Fleming, co-founder of Marina Bay Animal Hospital. Dr. Fleming joined the team in 1993 alongside his wife, Dr. Kim Fleming, who retired last year. Together, they have built a legacy of compassionate care that will forever be part of the clinic's story. Graduating from the University of Illinois in 1987, Dr. Fleming has been a champion of internal medicine and cherished the relationships he’s fostered between pets and their families. His favorite memory? Watching new puppies make the rounds for a hug from the entire team! ???? When he's not caring for animals, you’ll find Dr. Fleming cycling, woodworking, camping, or spending time with his Golden Retrievers, Lucy and Sammy, his black cat, Kitter, and his beloved tortoises and koi. ???? Please join us in wishing Dr. Fleming all the best in his well-earned retirement! He and Dr. Kim Fleming have left an indelible mark on Marina Bay, and we know they’ll enjoy their next chapter together. #Retirement #VeterinaryCare #ThankYouDrFleming #MarinaBay #FlemingLegacy
