After caring for our cat we proceeded to walk out without a carrier and the cat slipped our grip and escaped! We live 30-45 min away & weren’t familiar with the area.

We were amazed at how compassionate the staff was when it was time to have our 12 year old lab put to sleep last winter. We appreciated their help so very much. Now, we are starting again with a wonderful black lab puppy and we look forward to ‘Cooper’ have a long and healthy life with the help of the Animal Hospital! We HIGHLY recommend them….”

I have had the best care for my dog’s all their life, and would never go anywhere else. They are there for you in the beginning when you have a young pup, and will be there throughout, until the end. I know, I have experienced this with 2 losses recently. Without the Animal Hospital of Ludington, and Dr. Paxton and staff, it would have been much more difficult to get through. Thanks Dr. Paxton, and staff, we love you all!”
“You all seem to care about our animals as an important part of the family. When William had serious health challenges while we were in Florida this year, you were always available on the phone to give advice on how to manage the decisions we needed to make.
