Bring your furry (or feathered… or scaly) friends for a festive photo with Santa — all pets are welcome EXCEPT spiders 🕷️🚫 (Santa drew the line).

Holiday goodies may smell tempting, but not all are safe for dogs. Onions, grapes (and of course, chocolate!) can all cause serious organ damage over time. Keep those goodies for yourself and keep your pup safe 🐶

Calls are always free! Reach out if you have any concerns about food consumption: (231) 946-3770

At Grand Traverse Veterinary Hospital, we understand how special your pets are to you; finding a veterinarian that you feel comfortable with is a big deal! We welcome new patients to our practice—cats, dogs, avian, exotic, and pocket pets.
