What It Means to Invest in Your Community With Us
When you choose Four Lakes Veterinary Clinic, you are choosing an independent, locally owned veterinary practice right here in Monona and Madison. Every visit supports local jobs, local families, and the organizations our team gives back to throughout Dane County. Check out this video to learn why independent veterinary care matters.
Why Independent Veterinary Care Matters
Many veterinary clinics across the country have been purchased by large corporations. As an independent practice, Four Lakes Veterinary Clinic is owned and operated by people who live and work in our community. That means decisions about your pet’s care are made by our own veterinarians, not by outside shareholders, and the money you spend on your pet’s health stays close to home.
Being independent also gives us the freedom to practice medicine the way we believe it should be practiced. We take time with each patient, invest in Fear Free training for our entire team, and design programs like Free Vaccines for Life that put preventive care within reach for more families.
Giving Back to Dane County
Our clients make it possible for us to support the community we love. Through our annual fundraisers, we have raised thousands of dollars for Sheltering Animals of Abuse Victims, contributed to the Goodman Center Thanksgiving Basket Drive, and supported Second Harvest Food Bank of Southern Wisconsin. Dr. Scarlett also shares pet health advice with local readers through Madison Locally Sourced magazine, and we celebrate our patients every month with our Pet of the Month feature.
Care You Can Count On
Supporting a local practice never means settling for less. Our four-doctor team offers wellness exams, vaccines, laboratory testing, dental procedures, surgery, laser therapy, and end of life services, along with our in-clinic pharmacy and online store.
