Our experience occurred in December 2025 and I needed that time before I wrote my review…read more We were clients of Nickerson for over 20 years and even though the costs of using them were climbing, we stayed loyal. But then Dr Almus sold the business to a company called National Veterinary Associates (NVA). Once they purchased the practice that's when we noticed the cost of getting our pets taken care of started to rise even more and certain services being cut. Yet, we stayed loyal. The last straw so to speak was last December (2025). First off, three different vets misdiagnosed our cat for numerous months. Then, because Nickerson was listed as having a USDA veterinarian and we needed our two cats to have a specific health form filled out for international travel. With everything going on at that time, I was pretty sure that this step was going to be a non issue and these forms needed to be filled out within a certain time frame before traveling internationally. So I call to make the appointment and was advised that the person I had the plans with had been 'let go' and no longer worked there. When I brought up the fact that I needed the forms filled out by Dr. Merle, I was advised that they would call back in a couple of days after their staff meeting with corporate. No one called back, so I did and was advised that they are no longer offering that service. (Mind you, getting two cats this official health report/paperwork is NOT inexpensive.) I immediately requested that they email my records for our two cats to me as soon as possible, which they did. I quickly got online and found that St Joseph Animal Wellness had USDA certified vets and called them. They were amazingly helpful and kind, got our cats in, properly diagnosed our one cat, and they were able to get us our health certificates within the proper timeframe that we needed. My advise for anyone in the southwest Michigan area is support your locally owned veterinarian clinic/health centers for your pets. Vet care for our pets is already getting really costly, no need to line the pocket of some faceless corporation who doesn't really care about your pets or situation.

Always a compassionate experience for our fur babies!…read more The Good: 1. Well-established in the community, full-service, small animal veterinary hospital providing comprehensive medical, surgical, and dental care. 2. A multi vet practice treating large and small animals as well as making farm visits. 3. Rates are reasonable and lower than other vets in the area. 4. They offer a convenient walk-in clinic so no appointment for routine services are required. 5. Staff is very compassionate. When our English Bulldog, Bubba Capone, passed away they sent us a card signed by everyone in the office. (I'll be a lifelong customer because if this reason alone!) 6. They saved our Gus MaGee's life by performing emergency surgery because he had a blockage in his intestine. (Another reason I'll be a lifelong customer!) Overall: A solid 5 stars! I highly recommend the Allegan Veterinary Clinic for all your animal needs!

Your manager is a vulgar, ignorant person when she was screaming at me about the RX questions. It's simple if you add correctly then I wouldn't have called.
