We are excited to offer our current clients the opportunity to engage in telemedicine. Telemedicine is not trying to replace visits to the hospital. Rather it’s about complementing our in hospital services and establishing a means to monitor patients and communicate with clients using the most advanced technology. Clients are always welcome to call and schedule an appointment, but we hope that our clients will appreciate the flexibility of a telemedicine consultation when appropriate.
With the advancement of technology literally putting cameras in our hands (through most cell phones) veterinary telemedicine can thrive. It saves you a trip to the vet while putting your mind at ease with quick feedback from your veterinary team. Rather than calling the clinic phone with a question about your pet, you can engage in a video call or send a picture through a chat and show your veterinarian exactly what’s concerning you. This gives us a thorough understanding of the situation, too, so we can offer you the best advice.
Response time is 1-2 hours. This is not meant to be used in an emergency.

Are All Pets Eligible For Telemedicine?
When it comes to enhancing and improving patient care, the AVMA encourages veterinarians to make the best use of technology possible, while still maintaining high-quality, safe, responsible veterinary practices. In order to do so, the AVMA permits veterinarians to practice telemedicine inside their veterinary license’s issuing state. Except in the event of an emergency, veterinarians are only allowed to provide patient-specific advice, treatments, or dietary recommendations via telemedicine for patients with whom they have an established veterinarian-client patient relationship (VCPR).

Loves these people. They take great care of my Pup. Had to leave her for a few days and she was well cared for. They remember my dog more than me and I am fine with that. I drive 20 miles to give my Sephira the care from the place I adopted her from.

I have 3 dogs and a parrot. I was told about Dr. Capone many years ago went I was looking for an avian dr. for my parrot. I took my parrot and Dr. Capone helped her. I have been taking all my pet since. My little dog Meme ruptured her knee and it was so bad he had to preform 3 procedures to correct it in the one operation. She is walking on it after just two weeks. He also works with rescues and saves a lot of their lives. Dr. Capone is very kind to the pets and will strive to do everything he can to make them healthy. And his staff is so pleasant and Katy is very knowledgeable and will give very detailed instructions on medications. I thank GOD for letting me Find Dr. Capone at Lakeshore Veterinary Hospital in Mandeville. I live in Slidell and still go there.

I adopted my first pet after losing my companion for 8.5 years. The staff have always been extremely friendly and handle her with amazing care. I recently also purchased another pet and they absolutely adore her. This business not only treats you like family, they treat your pets just as if they were their own. I highly recommend this place to everyone I know. Thank you for always being there for our fur babies! (Bella & Sushi).

Dr. C was so helpful with my rabbit Princess. She had a tumor that he surgically removed and fixed her too. Couldn't have asked for a more compassionate dr. I highly recommend his services!
