Vet-Owned And Lead, So We Can Put Pets First
1
Fear-Free And Cat-Friendly
Our practice is housed in a thoughtfully converted historic home, creating a more comfortable experience for pets and people alike. We cater to finicky felines and have separate exam and treatment spaces to help cats feel less stressed.
2
Pet Care That Fits Your Life
Online booking, app-access, home-delivery pharmacy options, telehealth, and same- or next-day appointments – because excellent care should also be convenient.
3
Stand-Out Follow-Up Care
Our team makes a point to follow up—either by call or message depending on preference—to check on your pet’s progress. We take the time to explain everything clearly, including visit recap summaries, so you feel confident in the next steps.
4
The Owner-Lead Difference
We aren’t bound by corporate labor models or productivity quotas. That means more consideration, more flexibility, and more thoughtful care—every visit. We are truly committed to the community that we have the honor to serve.
A Different Kind of Veterinary Hospital—By Design
We built this practice for people who want more than rushed appointments and corporate scripts. Here, you’ll find gold-standard medicine, thoughtful communication, and a calm, welcoming space where your pet is treated like family—because to us, they are.
State-of-the-art equipment. Evidence-based medicine. Fear-Free handling. But what clients tell us they value most is that we slow down, listen carefully, and guide them honestly through every decision, and care for their pet as if they were our own.

What Our Customers Say
Dr. Mickelson has cared for our fur family for many years. Everything from new pups to cuts and coughs, nutrition and allergies to chronic illness and end-of-life care. Her experience and ongoing curiosity let us trust that we will have the best information available when making decisions about their care. And her caring heart means we can all feel better about trips to the vet, patients and parents alike.
Daniel
I’ve always received the best care for my cats from Dr. Mickelson and her team. The amount of compassion, informed medicine, and diligence from this team is incredible. I’ve been bringing my pets and rescue animals to Dr. Mickelson since she began practicing, and every time I receive clear diagnostic options, treatment that works, quality service, and follow ups that show a team that really cares. All pets are in fantastic hands here.
