Lakeland Animal Clinic and Urgent Care

Ladies and gentlemen, we present...

✨ Simon Rex✨

This handsome tripod is one of our favorite regulars and somehow manages to steal hearts everywhere he goes—whether he's stopping by for arthritis injections, routine visits, or a day at the spa with Marra.

So when Simon's mom asked if Marra could give him a dinosaur cut, Marra didn't just understand the assignment...

She absolutely crushed it.

The result?

🦖 A Tripodactyl.
🦖 A Velocikitty.
🦖 A Jurassic Heartthrob.

Honestly, we're still deciding.

We're not saying this haircut gave him more confidence...

But we're also not saying it didn't. 😏

Safe to say Simon is rocking his new look like the legend he is. ❤️🐾

Juliette would like everyone to know she had a very long weekend and is simply not prepared to discuss it at this time. 😎🐱

Unfortunately for her, we're open for Urgent Care tonight and regular clinic hours resume tomorrow.
While the rest of the staff is getting back into work mode, Juliette has decided her only contribution today will be looking cool, avoiding eye contact, and pretending she didn't hear any of that.

Happy Monday from your favorite overworked clinic cat. 🐾☕😂

So yesterday, the Lakeland team decided to put that skill to the test with the Blindfolded 1 mL Challenge. 😅

You spend enough years in vet med and eventually you start to develop a sixth sense for volume. As it turns out, most of us were close! Some were nearly perfect, one person absolutely nailed it, and overall we were pretty impressed with how accurate everyone was.

Watch and see who came closest!

May brought the flowers, but our patients brought the personality. 🌷🐾

As we kick off the first week of June, we're looking back at some of the adorable, goofy, sweet, and occasionally dramatic faces we had the pleasure of seeing last week.

Whether they came for treats, TLC, or reluctantly attended their appointment, we're glad they stopped by. ❤️

Behind every appointment, every surgery, every emergency squeeze-in, every nervous patient, every wagging tail, and every emotional goodbye… is a team that truly cares. 🖤

Veterinary medicine isn’t always easy. It’s long hours, messy scrubs, emotional days, hard conversations, celebrating miracles, and sometimes carrying heartbreak home with you. But it’s also belly laughs in treatment, tiny victories, healing hands, second chances, and the privilege of caring for both pets and the people who love them.

Every person here plays a role in that bigger picture — from the front desk to the treatment area to the kennel runs. Every comforting word, every extra cuddle, every patient monitored, every tail wag earned… it matters.

At the end of the day, if even one animal is more comfortable, one family feels supported, or one life breathes easier because we were here — then that is success to us.

This is more than just a clinic.
This is our purpose. 🐾

One of last weekend’s Urgent Care patients arrived carrying around what felt like an entire second cat worth of fur. 😅🐈

Gypsy recently found himself in a new home where his new family quickly realized he was far overdue for some relief. After noticing severe matting, they brought him into Urgent Care uncomfortable, heavily matted, and struggling under all that excess fur.

A little TLC, careful shaving, and a whole lot of hair later… Gypsy left feeling like a brand new man. ✨

Matting isn’t just cosmetic — severe mats can pull painfully on the skin, trap moisture and debris, restrict movement, and even lead to skin infections underneath. Especially in older cats or cats that struggle to groom themselves, matting can snowball quickly and become incredibly uncomfortable.

We’re just so happy this sweet boy is feeling SO much better now. 🖤

What really is going on during breaks…😂

Good morning from last week’s cutest little crew 🐾☀️

We loved seeing so many sweet faces last week, and we’re back open today ready for another week of appointments, purrs, tail wags, and whatever level of chaos or cuteness our patients decide to bring through the door. 🤍
