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

Hi Everyone, Long post. Please read to the end. Our Whiteford Fall Festival Committee of local volunteers can use your help. (Non-Veterinary Related)

I'm still selling reverse raffle tickets for our upcoming Whiteford Township Fall Festival. Please support our group of volunteers as we continue to raise funds for the playground at StoneCo Park. The first layer of coating was poured yesterday and phase one of the playground is being installed. The ribbon cutting ceremony will be held at our festival!

Fifth place $100
Every 10th ticket pulled $50

Please join us OCT 5th, 2024 from 10am-4pm at StoneCo Park (7100 Whiteford Rd) in Ottawa Lake, MI. The event includes 300+ Car show, tractor show, live entertainment, bounce houses, kid carnival games, wagon rides, last year we had over 100 vendors, silent auction, reverse raffle, kids pumpkin decorating, face painting, kiddie train ride ($1), food trucks, and more!

*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).

Hi Everyone,
I'm sending out a message to let you know that I will be closed March 22- Easter Sunday (March 31). I will be out of town and will not be taking calls/texts during that time. If you have an emergency, I would recommend heading to the nearest emergency clinic. If you predict you will need any medications during that time, please send me a message so we can get them ordered and filled before March 20.
Thank you and I hope everyone will have a great Spring Break!

Dr. Melanie
