"I wasn’t sure what exactly was going on with my dog and my regular vet sent us to Bay Area. I was such a mess and everyone there was absolutely wonderful and put my mind at ease. I would absolutely go back for any emergency needs and recommend Bay Area to everyone! Thank you guys so much"

"Wonderful staff, wonderful service, and reasonable prices.
While we didn’t WANT to spend a Thursday evening at the vet, the whole staff made it a low-stress and comfortable experience for us. "

"Had the unfortunate reason to call in the middle of the night last night. I spoke with Shannon who was very professional, calm and understanding with me. She walked me through all the steps necessary to treat my dog with complete patience. So thankful!"

"I cannot stress enough how much I appreciate the people who work here. My dog Bailey tried making friends with a porcupine, and needed to have some quills removed.
They were so good with him, and patient with my husband and I. I wish they had a branch closer to where I live."

"I can't thank these amazing people enough. It was a very busy long holiday weekend and I was stressed because my dog was sick. They took good care of him even when he was crabby.
They were kind and professional from the first phone call all the way through to pickup the next afternoon. Porkchop is back to his dorky old self thanks to the good care he received at Bay Area."

"We had just gotten up north to Gladwin 7/3/24, around 8pm my dog was limping & whining, found a deep puncture in between the pads of her paw. Within an hour or two it swelled to about twice the size of her other paw, she wouldn’t walk on it or anything. Made the 2 hour drive to Bay Area Pet Hospital, arrived about 2am 7/4/24, , where we were in & out without an hour-1.5 hours. I cannot say enough amazing things about this pet hospital. They treated Willow with the BEST care & love, they were SO kind & friendly, explained everything right away & took care of my sweet baby."

"Went late at night for our dog who needed stitches. Even though it was a long wait (busy night) the staff was super friendly and helpful and was able to get our pup the help he needed with a reasonable price. 10/10 recommend and will be going back in case of any emergency!"

"I had to take my grumpy cat in for sudden vomiting on Friday night, I’m so grateful to everyone here! I called ahead so they had our information, and they took him back to triage as soon as we arrived. Dr. Inman was easy to talk to and gave me very clear treatment options, and the staff along the way was all very kind and helpful. I had peace of mind as soon as we left the hospital, and luckily my boy was back to himself the next day."
