We turned our surgery suite into a spa yesterday and treated our entire staff to massages for vet tech week. Thank you Peace Place LLC for helping to pamper our staff!

I had a great day giving massages to the awesome staff at Northland Animal Hospital! Yes, even surgery rooms can be relaxing. No anesthesia needed, just a great massage and some spa music does the trick! 😆

It's answer time! Did you guess right? Here in the mitten state we've historically had lower rates of heartworm disease, but the numbers are expected to rise. Due to abnormally high temperatures we're seeing mosquitos in traditionally colder months, which means they have more opportunities to spread diseases. Are your pets protected?
Call 616-866-1322 or stop in today to ask about heartworm protection for your pet 🙂

We are wrapping up tech week today by treating our staff to Robinette's fresh donuts and cider.

The Association for Pet Obesity Prevention estimates 61% of cats and 59% of dogs are overweight or have obesity. While this means there IS more of your pet to love, we know that overweight pets have shorter lifespans and are more prone to osteoarthritis, heart disease, diabetes, anesthetic complications, and much more.
If you are concerned about your pet's weight, schedule a consultation today!

The number of fleas on animals in the fall has a tendency to DOUBLE when compared to the spring. The theory behind this “flea surge” occurring in the autumn is that there is typically an increase in precipitation and the temperatures stay around 70 degrees. Fleas thrive in these conditions.
Ticks, unfortunately, will live all year long and can survive in even the worst conditions. For example, ticks can live for an entire year without feeding.
Stop in to pick up your pet's flea and tick prevention today!
