★★★★★ Always available for quality care, boarding g,grooming coco's familiar place to goWendy K.Wendy K. ★★★★★ While the drive was a little long for us from Empire, I didn’t mind because of how scenic it is! Our lab tore a toenail while running around outside & the vet’s office staff was able to get us in the next morning. They called to ask that I drop her off early so the vet could look at Luna in between appointments to see what would be needed. Once she did that, she said that Luna needed the toenail removed, but everything else about the exam was fine (no cuts needing stitches, etc.). When I picked Luna up, I was given a thorough & detailed run down of what was seen, what was needed & why, after-care instructions, medication & a follow up appointment. Every one of the staff we encountered were pleasant, thorough, efficient, knowledgeable & compassionate. They clearly love furry friends! The office was clean and neat, with the coolest plants thriving in the sunny space.

I have been coming to SB Animal Hospital for many years and two eras of pets. My pets are like my children and very important to me. SBAH seems to know this and understand this. I am always treated with respect, as are my pets.

Laura from Traverse City, MI

So many reasons why…. one being that it’s comforting to have a vet that cares for your pet just as much as you do. From the front desk to the exam room, In my 8 years with this vet, the flow of compassion has been steady and consistent, thank you!
