Hi Everyone,
I wanted to take a moment to let you know that I am adjusting my availability due to some family things that require my attention. I will no longer be offering mobile services, home euthanasias, or evening appts. These changes will drastically limit my availability, but I will still be scheduling some appts when able. As a result, I will be recommending some clients call other facilities and also understand many of you may need to be seen sooner than I will be able to schedule you, and I am happy to send your records electronically to any veterinary clinic where you are scheduled. This decision has been very difficult, and I am very sorry for the inconvenience. You have all been wonderful clients.
Dr. Melanie

*Updated to include a picture of Bane too.

I recently heard that one of Monroe County's K9 officers, Bane, located a missing child at Erie Apple Orchards in approximately 3 minutes! The child had taken off and ran into the corn and couldn't be found. This is the type of good news I like to read in my feed, so I'm sharing to generate awareness of Monroe County's amazing K9s! I was surprised to not see this type of coverage in the news. Great job Bane!! (This was posted with the officer's permission).

Most of you know that I don't normally jump on the bandwagon for specific products. However, these limited ingredient treats that are made with high quality ingredients are definitely a favorite of mine. Especially dogs with allergies.
This place is located in southeast Michigan and is family owned.
My goats and cows LOVE them too!
