Greater Ann Arbor's premier choice for specialized & concierge animal hospice support, in-home pet care + more
housecall vets, urgent/emergency care & aftercare
I'm a firm believer in ensuring that families have access to the best veterinary care services that meet their needs and that of their pets during a time that is uncertain and ever-evolving. Many pet guardians find that mobile/housecall or hybrid vet practices are a viable option, or that they're in need of urgent care or emergency care.
