Another option for wellness and medical care for furry friends will soon be available in Jamestown, thanks to Lakeside Veterinary Medicine.

Brooke Imus Harkness and Patrick S. Farrell, Lakeside Veterinary Medicine co-owners, are proud to announce the grand opening of the facility on Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. A ribbon cutting ceremony will be held at 10:15 a.m. The new veterinary hospital is an expanded presence of the Russell Veterinary Hospital in Russell, Pa., Farrell said.

He said the Russell location has been open for about 27 years, and they have been looking to expand to Jamestown for many years. When the new location became open, Farrell said it was time to expand the business.

The new facility has all electronic medical records that are cloud based, allowing the business to be paperless, three examination rooms, office space, an X-ray room, an incubator, dental lab, an Electrocardiogram, an operating room and a separate room for sick patients. The electronic records make sure the records are accessible, no matter which location the patient is seen at.

“We’re set up to do whatever we want to do here,” Farrell said, adding some procedures may be done in Russell, but the Jamestown facility is well-equipped.

The facility is purely purposed for medical and wellness care and does not offer boarding services, he said. The facility does offer an on-site and online pharmacy.

“Sometimes, it’s just more convenient to get it off the shelf,” Farrell said.

Harkness said one of the exciting parts of the job is that they are able to take care of the crime-fighting canines in the area.

“We take care of all the police dogs and Sheriff’s dogs,” she said.

The care is provided for free, which the Russell Veterinary hospital has done for many years. The new location will be more convenient for these services said Farrell.

Harkness is originally from Randolph, and is a partner in the business with Farrell. Farrell said he has been in the area for many years and they are excited to expand to the Jamestown area.
