Our guidance covers commercial diet selection, portion control, and prescription diet recommendations. We educate owners about species-specific nutritional requirements, emphasizing the importance of high-protein diets for cats and balanced nutrition for large-breed dogs to prevent developmental issues.

Offered by Dr. Angela Gerretsen, our acupuncture treatments address musculoskeletal pain, neurological conditions, and post-surgical recovery.

I would highly recommend Mitchell Veterinary service! The team was very compassionate, kind, and responsive to our pets needs. The pricing was very affordable for the quality of care you received. The team really does go above and beyond to make sure all of your needs for your pet, and for the pets owner are met. We were treated like we had been a patient at this clinic for years, when in fact we are brand new clients! Couldnt be more satisfied with the quality of care provided!

We love Dr Hoshel and all the staff! Everyone is so nice and understanding and Dr Hoshel is so knowledgeable and caring. Even after moving to almost 1h away we keep bringing our dogs to her because we think it is all worth it!

Dr. Justine was great. Buddy was a little nervous when seeing the vet but the calmness and professionalism that Dr. Justine displayed put him a little bit at ease. She answered all my questions and carefully explained the medication and flea treatment. Very professional and dedicated as my appointment went a little bit over the closing time. Great overall.

The professional, caring, and friendly staff at Mitchell Vet made us feel comfortable and our dog well cared for. The follow-up care they provided by phone and at subsequent visits gave us the opportunity to ask any questions we had and they explained everything clearly. We highly recommend Mitchell Veterinary Services!

Excellent from the time you enter until the time you leave.( office staff,techs,assistants,reception and vets)
For over sixty years now we have visited several vets in this area with our dogs and never before have we experienced the excellence in service, in knowledge and in skill that Mitchell Vet Services shows. All staff are kind ,caring and compassionate.Respect and empathy are shown for you and for your pet. The only regret we have is not finding them sooner . Although we primarily deal with the excellence of Dr .Justine...for our schnauzer... we do not hesitate one bit to be assisted
