My family and I have been going to Thorpe Animal Hospital for years, and have always been met with prompt service. I’m a big animal lover and would trust all of the staff here for any of my veterinary needs!! I also feel very lucky to have a vet that’s also well educated in more “exotic” animals that other vets won’t even consider admitting. (Guineas, ferrets, hamsters, etc.). I’ve never had any issues with going here at all. In fact, I’ve always felt very comfortable and welcomed any time I bring my pets here. I would rate higher if I could!! I cannot speak highly enough of everyone here.

I found a stray kitty on my dirt road that was not in great condition. I called all over the place and even went to the lapeer county animal control. No one would take the kitty in. I called Thorpe and spoke to Breanna who said she would take the baby girl in. The staff was so nice. Breanna took one look at this little girl who needed her help and that was that. I highly recommend Thorpe Animal Hospital! Thank you guys so much!

The ladies at Thorpes were very kind and compassionate when we had to euthanize our dog. They even sent us a sympathy card.
