Countryside Veterinary Clinic

Have we recommended your pet get any physical therapy done? Well, we will have Dr. Maurer in the clinic this coming Monday. She specializes in animal physical therapy, and even has her own mobile PT business called Char's Rehabilitation Center. If we get enough interest, we may be able to get you seen with her. Please call the office if you wish to know more! 517-456-6444

We are looking for 5 people that would be interested in a monthly payment plan package for their pet's preventive care. Rather than paying the cost up front, it is broken up into monthly payments over 12 months. These packages include vaccines, bloodwork, f***l and urine testing, heartworm/flea prevention, spay/neuter or dental options, and xrays for senior pets. Discounts on non-preventive care services are also included and dependent on the plan.

Please contact the office or stop by for info.

Hello Countryside Family! We have decided to extend our hours on Tuesdays! We will now be open from 8a to 7p on Tuesdays. We are not extending or changing our hours for any other day at this time. We look forward to being more available to people that are in need of evening appts/care.

Let this be your call to action for the ones who cant speak.

In Silence Subtitled by Canine Arthritis Management Nobody should suffer in silence. 80% of dogs over 8 years old have arthritis, which is a major cause of elective euthanasia.

Found dog: Found on Occidental near Ten Pin Bowling Alley in Raisin Twp. Pink collar but no tags. Very friendly. Please message us if you recognize this pet!

We will be moving forward with a small test group to enroll in monthly payment care plans. We are looking for 15 established clients and 15 new clients to participate in the test group. If you, or someone you know, are interested, please comment below or give us a call. Different "tiers" or options will be outlined to choose from. Enrollment will include a signed contract and small enrollment fee.

With the rising costs of living, we recognize that it can be difficult to get your beloved pets the care they need. It often takes a backseat. We are considering offering care plans on a tiered monthly payment plan basis. These packages will range from basic to comprehensive and can be customized to suit your pet's needs and your wallet's needs. A monthly payment plan would be a strong commitment by us and you, and as a small business the endeavor cannot be taken lightly. We are conducting a quick poll to gauge interest in doing something like this - to help us in being able to help you have your trusted companion receive important preventive care so they can stay by your side for years to come.

Dr. Maurer is back and talking about her in-home rehab services- Char's Rehabilitation Center! Rehab is a very important part of our much-loved pets' lives and care. Pet care is ever evolving as we learn more and more about their needs and ways we can keep them comfortable and healthy. Think of how important movement is for us as to stay healthy, recover from injury, or even slow progression of decline. Our pets benefit in the same way ☺️ How many of us have a trusted companion that is recovering from surgery or injury, or struggles with discomfort from arthritis? Dr. Maurer can help!

UPDATE: OWNER FOUND

*FOUND DOG* Female hound mix found near Billmyer Hwy South of M50. Green collar - no tags and not microchipped. Please contact the office if you recognize this pet.

Paisley was such an amazing patient! Our doctors and staff wanted to thank all of our clients for how kind and understanding you were with our volume of appointments and longer than usual wait times.

We have been doing our best to attend to everyone while a number of staff members have been out sick. As well as busting out those good old-fashioned face masks and providing curbside options. With added safety precautions that have been put in place, we have been reminded of how that can slow down your appointment process and, at times, put us behind. We did request a few of our "retired" staff members to return and wanted to thank Katie and Quentin for rising to the occasion.

This community is such a blessing, and we are so grateful that you are a part of it. ❤️

Dr. Holiday found more dog and cat toys!! We also have just 4 more cat stockings! Come on in today from 8 am until 2 pm to pick up your last-minute goodies. All proceeds go to our Angel Fund or the 4 Directions Wildlife non-profit. Just let us know at the time of checkout. We beat our goal this year, and we are so grateful for this community!!!

THANK YOU!!!!

We have been trying our hardest to check on all our recently sick pets prior to closing for the Christmas break. If you haven't received a call and have concerns, please give our office a call tomorrow morning at 517-456-6444 !!!

We will be in the office at 8 am until 2 pm tomorrow, Saturday 12/23/23. We still have appointments available and can fill prescriptions that are running low. We will be back in the office on Wednesday the 27th at 8 am.

Whoa!!! Dr. Holiday!!! We don't ride our surgery patients!!! It doesn't matter if you're ranked number 1 for the reindeer rodeo. This isn't the North Pole!

**Kiwi was a good sport to allow Dr. Holidays' bad behavior. The moment Kiwi felt unsure of the situation, she was rescued by the technicians and immediately given love and reassurance ❤️ **

Our new self-appointed Dr isn't taking no for an answer and taking matters into her own hands when she thinks no one is looking. OSHA would not approve of her unsafe radiology technique! Dr. Karen Holiday, you are going to get us in trouble!!

Help! This elf just showed up looking for a job. We don't have the heart to tell her we already hired Dr. Fischhoff. I think we are going to let her stay, but she needs a name! Can you give us suggestions???

For this , we're asking for donations of scales to weigh our injured and orphaned patients, like this adorable baby Virginia Rail. These scales help us record accurate weights on our injured and orphaned patients. Depending on the species and condition of the bird, they may be getting weighed between 1 and 3 times a day! Accurate weights can help us confirm that they are eating enough as well as ensure they are receiving the correct dosing for any medications they may be on. You can find these scales on our Amazon wishlist at https://amzn.to/3ogNEFE

Thank you for caring for our feathered patients! 💙

Today, we wanted to give our girl Jennifer Dulinski a shout-out for successfully completing her VTNE!!! Way to go, Jen!!! You worked so hard, and we are so proud of you!!!

We wanted to take a moment to thank Dr. Kutchins for taking us out for our annual Christmas party. This year was extra special thanks to our dear friend Diana, owner of !!!
We had such a great time finding our new hobby.
