Serving the Lakewood Pet Community

Lakewood's suburban character — with its many parks, backyards, and family-oriented neighborhoods — makes it a great place for dogs. The Lakewood Dog Park on Carson Street is a community gathering spot, and the quiet residential streets are perfect for daily walks.

When mobility issues affect your pet's ability to enjoy those daily walks and park visits, a custom orthotic or prosthetic device can help maintain their quality of life.
