About Us..

Lakeland Veterinary Hospital is a well-established, full-service small animal veterinary hospital providing comprehensive medical, surgical and dental care.

We are conveniently located in the city of Lakeland along the St. Croix River Valley with easy access to the surrounding communities of Afton, Lake Elmo, Stillwater, Woodbury and Bayport along with the western Wisconsin communities of Hudson and River Falls.

The Lakeland Veterinary Hospital was opened in 1983 and operated by Drs. Blair Johnson and Jeanette Drury until their retirement in 2017. At that time they welcomed Dr. Heather Fairbairn to continue their high standard of care for your pets. Dr. Fairbairn’s passion for Veterinary Medicine was formed here as she worked as a receptionist at the hospital during her high school years.

We are "The Family Practice for Your Pet". Our services and facilities are designed to assist in routine preventive care for young, healthy pets; early detection and treatment of disease as your pet ages; and complete medical and surgical care as necessary during his or her lifetime. We understand the special role your pet plays in your family and are dedicated to becoming a partner with you in your pet's health care. Our goal is to practice the highest quality medicine and surgery with compassion and with an emphasis on client education.
