      Dr Paxton saw my 15.5 year old dog yesterday and was so kind and responsive. My dog had developed a honking cough, and at his age, anything like this gives me great concern. He did a thorough exam, my dog was super comfortable with him and his tech, and it was refreshing to visit a vet who doesn’t up-sell with a battery of tests. Excellent service from everyone, reasonably priced.

      Pet seen for preventative care and spay surgery. All options and prices were clearly outlined prior to procedure. Opted for laser surgery, pet healed very well with no complications. Dr. Denies and her staff keep me updated throughout pet visit. Have used this facility over the years for my pets and they have treated them kindly.

      Love this clinic! Everyone from the ladies who greet us at the front desk to the veterinarians are incredibly kind. Dr. Deines has taken great care of my dog and cat for the last year or so. She takes the time to answer all of my questions (sometimes before I've even asked!) and she puts myself and my pets at ease. I recommend this clinic to anyone looking for great care for their pet(s)!

      We recently moved to Ludington and I polled my neighbors about a local vet. Very happy that we had a recommendation to start with Animal Hospital of Ludington.Unfortunately, my previously healthy older small dog developed a heart valve problem. Dr. Deines worked with me to try medications. Eventually I needed to have my dog euthanized but Dr. Deines and all the staff, were so kind and explained everything so it made it an easier time for me and my husband.Our younger dog is doing well and she will continue care with the Ludington Animal Hospital. Thank you so much for your care and attention.

      We have been clients of Animal Hospital of Ludington for at least 20 years. They take wonderful care of our animals and their compassion when having to euthanize animals is wonderful. I highly recommend them

      Thank you Steve for the wonderful job you have done on Willie's toe nails!!! They are short again and no rough edges. I know he is a handful but thank you for doing a great job! You have been a friend and trusted vet to us for many years. Please don't retire too soon. Only thing missing is the toenail polish! LOL
