Edit: Phones are back up and running. Thank you again for your patience.

Good afternoon!
It seems we are having some phone issues here at the clinic that we are currently working on remedying. If you have the PetPage app, you may message us there for refill requests and appointment information (confirming/ canceling only, we do not take appointment scheduling that way!)
Thank you for your patience and understanding!

We will be closing our office tomorrow, Friday, February 7th due to staff illness. We have reached out to those who had appointments scheduled to go over rescheduling options.

We will be open for our normal 8a-12p hours on Saturday, February 8th. Our team thanks you for your patience and understanding!

It’s officially Veterinary Technician Appreciation Week! We’re so grateful for our two amazing technicians! 💗🐾🩺💗

What is a licensed veterinary technician (LVT)?
- College graduate
- Nationally tested
- Licensed by the Board of Veterinary Medicine

Technicians wear many, many hats in a veterinary clinic. They are often referred to as the nurses of the veterinary world, but they’re also:
- Anesthesiologists
- Dental hygienists
- Radiology technicians
- Surgical assistants
- Scrub nurses
- Phlebotomists
- Laboratory technicians
- Pharmacy technicians

If you see these ladies this week, please help us thank them for keeping our practice running the way it does, and for loving all of our patients like they are their own!

To read more about them specifically, please check out our website for their bios!

We are so pleased to announce that we have a new veterinarian starting in July! Please help us welcome Dr. Ryleigh Ammons to Monterey Veterinary Center! We are so excited and grateful to welcome her to our community and our team.

Dr. Ryleigh Ammons grew up in Dallas, Georgia and received her undergraduate degree in Animal Science from Berry College. While at Berry, she worked at the sheep unit and gained a love and appreciation of small ruminants. She obtained her DVM (Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine) at the University of Georgia in 2024 where she tracked in large animal medicine (food and fiber). While attending UGA, she worked as a research assistant for the department of parasitology.

Ryleigh loves all farm animals and has a particular fondness for sheep and goats. Her other special interests include reproductive medicine, production medicine, and parasitology. In her free time, Ryleigh loves to hike, read, watch movies, play card games, bake, and spend time with her partner, Mason, and dog, Gracie.

Dr. Ryleigh will be splitting her time between our office and our partner clinic Pickle Street Veterinary Services!

🚨 Pet Safety Alert 🚨

As the weather continues to heat up, remember: NEVER leave your pets in a parked car! Even with cracked windows, temperatures can soar to deadly levels within minutes. Your furry friends can suffer from heatstroke, brain damage, or worse.

👉 Facts to remember:

• On a 75°F day, a car's temperature can reach 100°F in just 10 minutes.
• On a 90°F day, it can hit 160°F in less than 10 minutes.

🐾 What to do:

• Leave pets at home if you can't take them with you.
• If you see a pet in distress in a hot car, call local authorities immediately.
• Spread the word to friends and family – let's keep our pets safe!
• Stay vigilant, stay cool, and keep your pets cool too!

Congratulations to our partners at Pickle Street for 10 years of excellent service! We look forward to many more years of partnership!

Ten years ago today, we opened our metaphorical doors and started to serve patients in the Allegan County area. When I first started the practice out of my house I had no idea how it would develop. Today, I am joined on the road by the talented Drs. Roxanne and Maggie and helping us are four awesome assistants/receptionists Rylee, Bri, Holly and Olivia. We recently formed a partnership with Monterey Veterinary Center and we are excited to see how that develops over time.

I am grateful for my family, staff and our clients for all of your support over these past years. We have grown a lot together caring for our important patients and can't wait to see where the next ten years takes us. With sincere appreciation, THANK YOU!

We’d like to wish our patients and clients a happy upcoming Memorial Day weekend! Our team is excited for the extended weekend to spend time with family and friends!

We will be closed Saturday, May 25th through Monday, May 27th. We will resume our regular business hours on Tuesday, May 28th.

Please plan accordingly for all medication and prescription diet orders/ pickups. If you are needing vaccinations or need to drop off f***l samples in order to board your pet(s) over the holiday weekend, please contact our office ASAP as our availability is already limited this upcoming week.

01/30/2024

Starting this week, we will be switching over to an automated reminder system that will allow us to confirm appointments via email and text! As we switch over, we will need updated contact information from our clients.

If we haven’t reached out to you already to confirm your contact information, or if you have questions regarding the switch over, please call our office at (269) 793-7733 to confirm your contact information to help our transition go smoothly.

If we already have confirmed your contact information, you’ll be receiving an email in the next day or so to download an app called PetPage (image below) that you can use to communicate with us digitally. Clients can request medication refills, see upcoming appointments, see your pet’s vaccination reminders if they’re in need of anything, and set yourself reminders for preventive medicine applications! For the app or the AllyDVM Patient Portal website you will need an email on file with us in order to participate. If you do not wish to use the app or website we will still need your cell phone number and your home address to send out confirmation texts and reminder post cards.
