Where family pets find loving care
Thank you for your continued patience and understanding with our team! Like most veterinary hospitals, we are booking farther out than normal while also trying to maintain the quality of care that our staff, clients & pets deserve. We know this is not ideal and want to address the questions and concerns surrounding the busyness of the veterinary industry.
- The pet-to-vet ratio was (and continues to be) significantly unbalanced, which hinders the ability to source, recruit and hire newly graduated veterinarians.
- The demand for veterinary services increased significantly due to the explosion of pet adoptions (+200%) in the past few years. Sadly, only about 1,500 veterinarians are graduating each year in the United States. This leaves us incredibly short-handed as an industry across the nation.
- Our team has implemented many new features to improve the client experience.

Parasite Prevention and ControlThere was a time when parasites like fleas, ticks, and roundworms were considered mostly a nuisance.

i took my dog to UP Vet Hospital for the first time to get exam, shots, etc. This place is great. Jessica at the desk is delightful. The doctor and the tech I dealt with--same thing, delightful. The place is very efficient, excellent communication, thorough in their care, easy parking. Since it is the corona virus time, they have it set up very smoothly to park, call the desk, a tech comes out to get my dog, the doctor communicates to me over the phone, the vet brings the dog out to me. All very smooth.John S.
