Dr. Andrea Verhougstraete and Dr. Kristina Baszler are extremely excited to welcome you to our new veterinary hospital. After practicing veterinary medicine together for the past eight years, we decided to embark upon a new journey and open our own animal hospital. We chose Allendale because of its small town feel with a close proximity to the Grand Rapids area and everything it has to offer. Dr. Erin Ricco is also excited to be a part of our team at Lake Michigan Animal Hospital.  Our highly skilled staff are all dedicated to providing compassionate and quality care for your furry family members.

It is our mission to provide high quality medical and surgical care to our patients while educating and assisting clients about pet care and ownership. We will do this by promoting regular preventative care so our patients can enjoy a lifetime of good health. At all times we will treat our clients and pets with respect, honesty, dignity and compassion.

Your pets’ health and well being are very important to us, and we take every possible measure to give your animals the care they deserve. We are a full service animal hospital offering state of the art veterinary equipment in diagnostics and treatment options. Our high definition digital x-ray provides the best images possible. Our digital dental x-ray and high-speed dental unit will allow us to perform dental procedures safely and efficiently. Our full in house laboratory allows us to run blood work, urine and fecal tests quickly and thoroughly. Our top of the line anesthetic monitoring allows us to monitor heart rate, oxygen level, temperature, blood pressure, and EKG to help us keep your pet as safe as possible during surgical and dental procedures.

Beyond first-rate pet care, we strive to make our newly remodeled hospital clean, comfortable, kid-friendly, and calm, so your pet can relax in the waiting room and you can look forward to your pet’s visit.

We are happy to offer a number of resources that enable you to learn about how to take better care of your pets. Please feel free to browse our site, particularly the informational articles. If you have any questions, call 616-895-5852 or email us and we'll promptly get back to you. Our office is very easy to get to -- and you can find directions on our Contact Us page!
