Did you know….

While most of us like or love grapes they are highly toxic to dogs.

Grapes are one of those fun toxic foods that don’t descrimnate on size. Any amount to a small or large dog can be a problem.

If your dog gets a grape snack please call us or get them to urgent/ emergency.

Sooooo, life has thrown Cara (our long time receptionist) and her husband, Christian, a curveball. On Monday, January 27th, at 11:37 p.m. Cara and Christian's little boy entered this world early. He weighed in at 3lbs 11oz. He was a little over 30 weeks old when Cara noticed less movement. They went to get him checked out. He wasn't in life threatening danger but doctors were nervous about his lack of movement and lower oxygen levels. They chose to perform a c section and that was the day that Hudson Lynn Killian joined the family. While many of you may want to know more about the situation, Cara and Christian are asking for a little time as they process this crazy transition. Hudson will be in the NICU for some time to come to help him fully develop. Cara says he was a wild child in the womb and is still one outside it. They appreciate and love all of the love and support they have received with special thanks to their families for all their help.

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.
