Overview

Compassionate and quality care for your pet, personalized service for you. We are a full-service animal hospital offering state of the art veterinary equipment in diagnostics and treatment options

Dr. Andrea Verhougstraete and Dr. Kristina Baszler are extremely excited to welcome you to our veterinary hospital. After practicing veterinary medicine together for eight years, we decided to embark upon a new journey and open our own animal hospital in 2014. We chose Allendale because of its small town feel with a close proximity to the Grand Rapids area and everything it has to offer. Dr. Erin Ricco joined our team at Lake Michigan Animal Hospital in 2014
