Michigan City Animal Hospital Michigan City, Michigan

Friendly staff, clean veterinary facility. Great communication on results and quick calls back when the lab reports are in. Great printed report on the status of your animal, with easy color-coding so you can focus on the areas of concern. I'd recommend this team. I was a referral and glad I visited.

Mcah has been more than accommodating with my Meile and his neurotic human momma. Their patience and flexibility is sooooo appreciated.

This is the best facility around. The doctors are compassionate and knowledgeable. They are very thorough in their check up routines, they look for new ways to treat ailments and are cautious about prescribing medications. Steroids are not the "go to" drug in this hospital. The reception staff is not only, friendly ... they're efficient! I would have given them 10 stars.

Michigan City Animal Hospital has been amazing! They have always exceeded any expectations I have had for animal care. Dr. Fairchild is amazing!!! She takes the time to really explain what is going on with my dogs and lays out all the available treatment options. Education without pressure!!! There is never any pressure to purchase expensive treatment and always an alternative cost friendly option. The other staff are amazing as well! I never knew coming to a veterinarian office could be so relaxing. All my dogs love coming to this clinic because they are treated so well. You can tell the staff genuinely care about the animals and love their job.

$324.00 before even being taken back to a room. Waited an hour in the parking lit and another 5-10min in lobby after making payment before receiving any services. Dr. FAIRCHILD was completely rude and even said "wow, oh my God " as she walked out of the door. She came back to apologize after I asked for a refund and to leave due to them being rude and impatient with me. I'm appalled by this visit. My dog has been waiting here for over an hour with a nail in his leg and they have shown little to no compassion and immediately start question finances. Then to be treated so poorly and have frustrations taken out on me all because they are understaffed?! This place use to be great now it's really just money > animals I feel. Sad to say I'll be finding a new vet. This was it for me. Also I'm being charged for an emergency visit but not being put as priority. This is insane EDIT: after all the awful things that happened during the first part of our visit Dr Bailey came in to finish our appointment. As always very pleased with him and his nurse. At the end we were taken care of. Just wish the initial part of the visit had been as great as our short time in Dr Baileys hands. Unfortunately they have on top of everything else underestimated our vet cost as well. Only reason I'm bumping up the stars on this visit is because of Dr Bailey and his nurse because they are always above and beyond with my pets and I.

Today was my 2nd visit, first time meeting Dr. Dehnart he was great ???? I had to say goodbye to my bestfriend (my 14 yr husky) ???? & Dr. Dehnart very professional, informative, careful and seemed to really care. 5stars. Thank u

Not only are they great vets (Dr. Bailey was our vet) but their staff is very friendly and kind. We recently just lost our dog Rusty and they showed so much care and compassion for my wife and i but also are dog. They let us say our good byes in one of the rooms before he was to be cremated. They said as long and as many people would like to be there. Not only did they give us that last few moments with our dog, they sent flowers and a card the next day knowing the pain we were in. They are awesome people and would recommend them to anyone who wants a new vet. Thank you for all you have done over the years for our family.

I have taken my pets to MCAH for many years and I have never doubted their care or expertise. All the staff is friendly and helpful. I have worked with all the doctors who are wonderful, but Dr Sandiford has gone above and beyond in caring for my 2 senior kitties. She is so warm and caring, answers all my questions, and always calls with test results and recommendations. MCAH is the best!❤

They are not just helpful, they are caring and informative. I wasn't there long, but got ALOT out of my visit. I felt my???? (Dorthy) was in good hands. The staff is wonderful!!! ????‍⚕️????‍????????‍⚕️????????????????

I can’t say enough about how much the staff here helped me through one of my most difficult times. My cat unexpectedly got sick two weeks ago, I called and they got me in to see Dr. Dehnart that day. My cat was getting better at home but then began acting sick again a week later. Dr. Dehnart listened to my concerns when I called and, again, got me in that same day. Unfortunately, my cat had an aggressive cancer that had already become very serious. Dr. Dehnart was honest with me and referred me to a specialist for further testing. Sadly, my kitty could not be treated and they, once again, got my super sick cat in that same day for humane euthanasia as he was in total kidney failure. Dr. Standiford was amazing, she fully explained everything and gave me lots of time to say goodbye to my poor guy. Thank you Michigan City Animal Hospital for being so responsive and amazing during a really awful time! Words don’t do justice how appreciative I am!

I want to thank the staff and Dr Dehnart for taking the necessary steps to save my Tali. when I left her it was not something I wanted to hear but they kept me up to date and she was able to come home the next day!! if more stars were available I surly would fill them in too thank you so much from my heart . judy bruce

Drs and staff always take great care of my fur babies.

The staff was friendly, understanding and very supportive. They were very kind to us and made honest recommendations. We came all the way from Illinois to see them because we heard they were the best. They are.

New to the area and we are very happy to have found the group at Michigan City Animal Hospital. Our dogs are very important to us and everyone here made us feel comfortable and treated our babies with care!!

With in this past year I’ve been trying to treat my cats worms, I’ve been spending a lot of money trying to do so. I first took them to a different vet and they continued to have worms so I took them to the this animal hospital. I’ve treated both my cats numerous times. My cats threw up recently and I was asked to bring in the sample, I did that. Worms really freak me out! To me they looked like dried worms and I’ve seen them before. The lady called and gave me the total and I asked her about the refund because the worm medication hasn’t been working. Than someone came out and said it looked like string, but I don’t have yellow string around my house! I feel like I’m being sent in circles and no one is really helping me deal this this problem. They asked me to bring in another fecal sample. The last time I did they found nothing they said. I was under the impression I was paying for worm medication, but when I got home it was fea and tics. I’m just exhausted with the runaround and different information I receive. Each time I’m paying more and more money and I see the same results. They are all really kind but I don’t even know what to do! I guess I’m just putting this out here because I want to bring it to someone’s attention, because even with communicating it’s still a runaround!

These folks are always spot on. Friendly, helpful, caring and very highly skilled. I have every confidence in them.

They all seem to care very much about the animals they see!! I believe that they do an excellent job at treating the animals well. I have only been there for simple issues but they have been good experiences. The only down side I've seen is they are very expensive but for that extra money they seem to go the extra mile in treating the animals like the kids that to a lot of people including me, they are!!!

I would like to thank you for your love last week when I had to put my kitty Dobro to sleep. The entire staff made it so much easier.

The staff correctly diagnosed my cat's respiratory condition, which a previous vet did not. They offer cat boarding and treat my cat like family. Facility is clean and spacious.

Great service for pets. Very expensive

I love MCAH. I have a senior rescue and they are so sweet with her. I know she is getting great care. They are always on-time. My dog had some skin/allergy issues last summer and the doctor was very good figuring out what the problem was and treating it.

We love Michigan City Animal Hospital. Dr. Fairchild has been my dogs Vet from the day we brought her home as a 3 months old puppy, 6.5 years ago. The Hospital is clean, modern, very well organized with amazingly responsive and caring staff. Dr. Fairchild has been willing to work with me on my minimal vaccination protocol, doing titer tests instead of automatic vaccination and not judging me for partially feeding my dog a homemade balanced raw meat diet. I am overall very pleased and would recommend this hospital to anyone.

Dr Bailey has remained one of the best veterinarians in the area and his consultation, tests and recommendations for my cat with lymphoma are greatly valued.

Always very friendly and professional! They love every animal that they see!

LOVE THE PEOPLE THAT WORK HERE!!!

Took great care of my pup

I have been going to Michigan City Animal Hospital for many years. Dr. Bailey is the best! I trust him 100%. He is honest and very intelligent. I will continue to take all of my dogs there.

I just switched from a hospital in New Buffalo, MI since MCAH is in my town and is more convenient to me. I found the process of switching extremely easy as MCAH quickly requested my pet's files from her previous hospital and gathered all of the data quickly and efficiently. The staff at MCAH was very timely, responsive, and courteous in their correspondence with me regarding the switch and made it so easy. My cat was boarded for 5 days and received an exam when she came in for boarding which was great that I didn't have to have the exam at a different, separate time. My cat received the exam and I was kept abreast of all that happened in the exam and was called promptly for approval of required vaccinations. I had questions regarding my cat's exam and while I wasn't able to speak with the vet that completed the exam when I called, I received a call later that day from another vet, Dr. Fairchild, who kindly explained everything and answer all of my questions and more. I also found MCAH's service and business practice to be quite modern as well. The MCAH uses a very convenient text messaging system that allows me to easily and effectively communicate with the staff regarding boarding, drop-offs, pick-ups, billing, and more. As someone who appreciates modern technology, it was great to see a business taking advantage of it so well. Finally, at the time of my writing, we are in the midst of the Coronavirus Pandemic which complicates such business. MCAH handled this perfectly as well as all of their staff was courteously wearing masks when they interacted with us and their system for curbside service was easy and effective. All in all, I am very happy with my switch and recommend that any pet owner give MCAH a try. I'm sure you will not regret it!

I have been taking my pets to MCAH for years. Through torn ligaments, regular checkups, deaths, new babies, scary stuff and funny stuff, I rely on everyone working there to care for my furry family. I go to MCAH for everything - vet services, boarding and grooming. I trust their judgment and their care.

They've done a awesome job with my pets for 30 years
