New year brings new changes here at Rockford Animal Hospital. We are excited to announce new ownership of the hospital! For those of you that haven't had a chance to meet him, Dr. Nicholas J. Vito will be taking over care of your beloved furry friends. Dr. Good will continue to see patients along side Dr. Vito as we transition into this new phase. Learn more about him below or by visiting our website.

Dr. Vito is originally from St. Clair, Michigan, a small town on the east side of the state. His desire to become a veterinarian first seeded under the guidance and mentorship of his family veterinarian, who cared for his beloved childhood beagle named Sydney. Further inspired by the James Herriot novel “All Creatures Great and Small” and his time living and working at the MSU dairy farm, he set his ambition on becoming a veterinarian and attended Michigan State University, where he graduated from the College of Veterinary Medicine in 2014. Now with over ten years of local veterinary experience, the greatest fulfillment of Dr. Vito’s practice resides in maximizing the human-animal bond, providing quality, individualized patient care, and building collaborative relationships with pet owners.

Outside of his time at Rockford Animal Hospital, Dr. Vito enjoys romping around the woods in search of forest finds and critters. He is an avid morel mushroom forager and like all good morel hunters, he can’t tell you where his bounty hides, though some may certainly locate in the vicinity of his family’s hideaway cabin in Harrison. He likes to travel, stay active, and compete in road races and triathlons with his athletically ambitious wife, Kristi. Together they share two pups, Gaia and Winnie, who are equal parts adorable and mischievous.

Dr. Vito is eager to meet you and build a long-term relationship that focuses on the best possible medical care for your beloved pet.

We are accepting new patients, call us today to schedule your appointments!
