The Veterinary Clinic (Bldg. 43H) is a fully functional small animal clinic, offering vaccines, wellness appointments, sick calls, surgery and dental cleanings.

  • Hours: Mon.-Fri. for appointments and often have same-day appointment availability.

  • Follow us on Facebook: at (www.facebook.com/greatlakesvtf) for weekly pet veterinary facts and tips.  In January we will be covering common household toxins, starting with ethylene glycol.  Ethylene glycol is found in antifreeze and windshield de-icing agents and is actually sweet tasting, so many pets will drink it voluntarily if it spills on the ground.  It is EXTREMELY toxic and pets should be rushed to the ER immediately, if you think they may have ingested some. Follow us for more tips!

January's highlighted selections are brews of the NFC North. The Green Bay Packers are the 2021 NFC North Champions - but which seasonal brew will be crowned our winner? Stop in and help us decide! The Brew Club is open to all hands, 21+ on Thurs., Fri., and Sat. from 4:30-9pm.
