 Academy West Animal Hospital has been operating to help pets in need since 1976. The owner of the practice is Dr. Thomas J Ratke.A graduate of Michigan State University, he has been practicing for 35 years, and has many years of experience when it comes to the care of our client's pets. He also has been working for 13 years with the Search and Rescue and is currently working for the Federal Government Veterinary Disaster Relief. Dr. Ratke helped for 3 weeks when Hurricane Katrina hit. Our associate veterinarian is Dr. James Kimmel, who has had years of experience in treating all kinds of pets. Several years ago, this clinic would see large farm animals, but we still occasionally see a pig or two. We mostly specialize in small animals, such as dogs & cats, but we do see exotics like; ferrets, guinea pigs, rats, bunnies, some reptiles and birds. We are a full service veterinary hospital offering basic surgery as well as some complex surgeries, and all facets of medicine. We specialize in internal medicine, radiology, and are incorporating ultrasound. We also provide boarding and grooming at our facility. We strive to meet your pet's needs and keep them healthy. We hope you stop by and visit us for any needs your pet may have. Our friendly outgoing staff will make you feel right at home. Our clients are like an extended part of the family.
