Appointment Notice Update



In an effort to accomodate the needs of all our patients, we ask that you give us at least 24-hour notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. We appreciate your cooperation.

Best of Luck to Dr. McGlothlin!


Dr. McGlothlin will be leaving at the end of February after more than six years as an Associate Veterinarian here at Lawndale Veterinary Hospital. She is moving to be closer to her family and while we will miss her greatly, we wish her nothing but the best! We know you share in our gratitude to Dr. McGlothlin for her years of dedication and service to the patients of Lawndale Veterinary Hospital.

Consequences of Dental Disease:


If your pet has dental or periodontal disease, you may see any of the following signs:

  • Bad breath (halitosis)
  • Teeth that appear dirty (from plaque and calculus)
  • Loose teeth
  • Gingivitis (inflammation of the gum line)
  • Oral bleeding (from periodontal disease)
  • Mouth pain
  • Drooling
  • Decreased appetite or dropping food from the mouth (from pain and increased sensitivity in the mouth)
  • Weight loss (if not eating well)
  • More grumpy / behavior changes (from having mouth pain)

Importantly, dental disease can also have systemic consequences on the body. Bacteria involved with periodontal disease can also get into the blood stream. From there, the bacteria can travel throughout the body and cause problems in places such as the heart, kidneys, or even cause changes in insulin resistance.

Wondering Why It May Have Been Harder to Get That Last Minute Vet Appointment?

You may have heard that with COVID came a lot of extra pet adoptions which in turn increased the need for appointments at veterinary offices. We were no exception to this rule and have continued to try to meet the needs of our patients. We have hired more staff and we continue to make changes to our scheduling protocols so that we are better able to meet the needs of our patients.   


How can you help? Plan ahead and schedule your pet’s wellness and vaccine visit several weeks in advance. This will allow us to have more appointment slots open for same-day sick visits and urgent needs. Also, please know that every day we are working a fully booked or overbooked schedule and that we try our best to see every patient same-day that is sick or injured but if you are calling with a need that isn’t medically urgent, we may ask that you allow us to book your appointment for a later date.  


Thank you for your cooperation and support.
