“We were directed to Ludington Animal Hospital early Sunday Morning as an emergency call for our cat. Dr Denis (I know I’m spelling that wrong) and a vet assistant met us there at about 1:30am. They were so kind and compassionate. They never made us feel bad for getting them out at such a crazy hour. 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. Both the Dr & Tech helped us scour the area for about 30 min until we found our cat hunkered down under a car. We were so thankful to them.

Beside Dr. Steve and Dr. Leslie being GREAT, the entire staff at the Animal Hospital is friendly and helpful. 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.

    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.read more

    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.read more
