About Us

About Us

Originally opened in 2006 as Mid-Michigan Equine Services, our practice began with a focus on equine care rooted in strong client relationships and practical, on-the-ground service. Over the years, we’ve grown to care for a wide range of species—cattle, small ruminants, and companion animals—while staying true to the values that shaped us from the start. In 2024, we changed our name to reflect that evolution. Though the name is new, our commitment to honest, thoughtful, and relationship-driven veterinary care remains exactly the same.
