Thank you all for your care and compassion! Anyone looking for health care or well check for their pet should check this clinic out. You won't be sorry! When our cat had health issues, they thoroughly checked him out and found his problems. And when we lost him they handled him with care and respect. Thank you all so much!

I have taken my dogs to Dr. Heyer at the Animal Medical Clinic for almost a decade and wouldn't trust anyone else with my pets well-being. She is a consummate professional with a truly caring heart. She is always willing to go above and beyond to make sure your pets gets the care and attention they need. Beyond her the techs are fabulous and seem to care for the animals as if they were their own. I highly recommend them for any veterinarian needs you might have.

Being a black lab, our dog Rocky will try and eat anything not nailed to the floor or bigger than his head. His latest culinary diversion was a six-inch piece of rope from a play toy. Needless to say, it got stuck in his plumbing and caused a serious problem.
Dr. Michelle Heyer diagnosed the problem quickly and provided firm recommendations on our options. We opted for surgery as Rocky is a healthy older dog with a few years left under his belt. She did a fantastic job on both the surgery and the extensive followup. The staff at Merle Hay were also tremendous, calling us every day to check on Rocky.
This professionalism and attention to detail have always been our experience at Animal Medical Clinic at both locations for Rocky now going on 8 years and will be for Ringo - Rocky's new beagle buddy - for many years to come. A huge and heartfelt thank you to you Michelle and to all of your colleagues for making this a joyful holiday for our family as Rocky will be underfoot and likely getting into trouble as always!
