The West Shore Reason

As a clinic we are passionate about making every visit the best visit. We use a combo of treats, pheromones, and low stress handling techniques to help make your pet as comfortable as possible.

We are passionate and driven by the human-animal bond. All of us here at West Shore believe in animals makes human lives better and humans making animal lives better.

Our caring, compassionate Dr. Heidi has been working in the field for more than 20 years. Despite being a 1996 Michigan State University College of Veterinary Medicine graduate, she continues to learn new medical and behavior techniques to increase companion animal welfare and clinical treatment. She specifically designed this practice to be a low-stress environment for humans and animals alike. Our open floor plan and creative use for space provides our clients and their pets with the foundation for a successful, comfortable visit. For more info on our clinic, our incredible doctor, or our team, please stop by the office, give us a call at 616-296-2364, or send us an email at [email protected]. We would love to hear from you.
