Dr. Michael Lamping, Owner, and DVM

Doctor Lamping brings over 20 years of experience, a talent for listening, a desire to educate, and a heart for resolving his clients’ concerns.  He traces his strong conviction to becoming a veterinarian to his roots growing up in Boerne, a small town nestled in the Texas Hill Country.  Naturally curious about the vast world of creatures we share our planet with, he was drawn to the balance of science and healing that veterinary medicine offers. The influence of both his family and a respected hometown vet were instrumental in encouraging him to pursue his dream.

Dr. Lamping achieved his DVM degree from Texas A&M’s College of Veterinary Medicine in 2002.  Spending two years in Fort Worth and five years in Sachse as an associate he developed strong clinical skills in dentistry, dermatology, and pain management. He has applied techniques he acquired in local anesthesia, laser therapy, and nutrition to his consultations and procedures. 

Prior to opening his own practice, he balanced practicing emergency care with veterinary relief services throughout DFW.  He established Lake Lavon Animal Hospital in 2013 with its mission to build trustworthy relationships with the clientele through patient-centered care and a strong commitment to client communication.

Two wagging tails eagerly greet Dr. Lamping as he arrives home.  Bentley, a silky terrier with a gentle soul, and Percy, a mischievous and fluffy Coton de Tulear, are always up for a long walk and a back scratch, reminding all to make time for the simple things in life.

On weekends, you’ll find him spending time with his family, tending to his vegetable garden, running a 5K, or getting his camera focused on another grand Texas sunrise.
