Veterinarians in Dexter, MI

“I recently took my anxious (reactive) large dog for a visit here. I am beyond thankful and appreciative for the care we received. The staff at MiVet went above and beyond for my dog and were extremely comforting and accommodating. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this establishment and their staff! Thank you to MiVet!”

“Looking for a vet after moving from out of state, I found Dexter Animal Clinic. I was able to get in the next day for an exam and vaccines for my dog. My dog is highly anxious and stressed at the vet and the vet and vet tech were SO patient and kind. Typically, these visits are high stress for me and my dog due to her anxiety. They were able to handle her with care and do the exam and vaccines. Dr Nowicki also sat with me after the exam to go over any concerns I had and solutions for future vet visits to help her feel less stressed. It truly felt like him and the vet tech that helped really cared about me and my dog. I look forward to making this my primary vet and would encourage anyone, no matter your dogs stress level, to visit this vet.”

“My dog has recovered and gained mobility he never had before. The whole team is fantastic with my dog who is very selective. They do an amazing job gaining my dogs trust and working with him. Highly recommend!”

“I have been going to this vet since 2000. I have found the vet techs to be amazing. They know me and my dogs and treat them with respect. I have a dog that is anxious and instead of bringing her to the back to do things which would make her even more anxious, they always treat the dogs in the room. I am amazed at how many vets do not do this. I never feel rushed during my visits. They have always cared for my dog on the floor instead of making them get on a table. Before seeing them, I had a vet tell me to put my 80 lbs dog on a table. My dog was so freaked out and my dog was heavy and it was very hard for me to lift him. I knew that vet was not for me so I called this vet. The owner of the clinic who is not practicing now, rolled on the floor with my dog upon the first visit and let my dog lick his face! That is someone who likes dogs. When my dog was diagnosed with cancer, they were amazing and helped connect me with MSU to try to save him. When that did not work, they were very compassionate. This was back in 2010 and I know that the clinic has some different people working but most of the vet techs from 2010 are the same vet techs today.

I moved and my dogs passed. I went 8 years without a pet. When I got a pet, I ended up for convenience sake moving to a vet that was 5 minutes from me. But I ended up coming back even though it is a 30 minute drive due to the care they take of being kind to my dog. It is a struggle to make it before the clinic closes but they always make an effort to let me be seen at the end of the day so I do not have to take time off work.

I also appreciate that they will be honest with you. While one vet may not feel as warm, I felt she always had me and my dogs best interests at heart. Not everyone has the overly warm personality (including me =) ) but that does not mean someone does not care. She was the one that told me that is was time for my dog to go and she was right. He was in a lot of pain. She was also the one that told us we were "killing our dog with kindness" by feeding him table scraps--he was overweight and it was not helping him. I appreciated her direct and needed feedback.

It is interesting to read some of the reviews because their experience does not align with my experience whatsoever. I know that everyone has their own experiences but mine have ALWAYS been positive which is why I felt compelled to write a review.”
