I have a spoiled rotten,10 yr old neutered male Shih Tzu, named Kuro. He's also blind, but still my sweet baby!
Although it's only him and me now, there's a lot of talking around our house. I didn't realize he knows so many words! Some people say it's repetition, but I prefer to think he's that smart.......We moved to Michigan from Indiana 4 years ago, and for the first 7 years of Kuro's life, the only expense I had was vaccinations, grooming,and buying toys. ( Lots of toys)
But time passes on and age starts taking a toll, and he started having problems: bladder, tumor on paw,liver enzymes too high, dental work, eye problems,and for the past few months, skin problems.
Dr. Dhaliwal has done all of Kuro's surgeries, and worked with me on the other problems. He never loses his patience, and stays calm while I am asking my 100 questions .
Dr. Dhaliwal is definitely in the correct profession. It seems he has a passion for not only helping animals, but he takes every opportunity to learn new techniques so he can help them even more.
The staff is also very nice. They greet you with a smile, take the time to talk, explain meds,etc. and if Dr. D. doesn't call to check on Kuro after a procedure, the staff will, and that means a lot to me.
Michigan Avenue Animal Hospital is a caring place, and everyone makes sure your pet is given the best care. Whatever it takes to make you and your pet "HAPPY!"
Pet Boarding
We do not want you to worry about your pet while you are away. We provide a safe and secure environment for your pet that includes a fenced-in yard. From different sized cages and runs for your dog, to condos and cages for your cat, we have boarding facilities that will accommodate the largest to the smallest of pets. All boarders at our hospitals receive the personal attention they need and deserve from our caring staff. Your pet’s comfort and a stress-free stay is our main goal!
Your pet's health should be your last concern while on vacation. Because we are a pet hospital first, we are capable of responding quickly to your pet if the need should arise. Our experienced staff can safely and reliably administer any medication that is needed. Our doctors are on-call for any after-hour concerns as well.
You may also request grooming, bathing or dental while your pet is being boarded. We offer a 10% discount on dental care while boarding with us as well as a complimentary physical exam when our guest arrives to stay with us.
Our hospital offers dog & cat boarding you can trust. It is sometimes difficult to find a boarding facility that will tend to the needs of your pet and give them the attention they deserve. Boarding at our facility is ideal, especially if your dog or cat has certain medical conditions (such as diabetes) that require medication.
So that we can best accommodate your dog & cat, please make reservations in advance, especially during the holiday season. We will also review your pet's vaccination history to make sure that everything is up to date prior to the start of the boarding visit.
Mandy previously had surgery at another veterinary hospital for the removal of a growth on her hind leg. For some unfortunate reason, the area became badly infected that the doctor's opinion was amputation to save Mandy's life.
At first, I was devastated about this news and wanted to get a second opinion. Therefore, I began seeking other veterinary hospitals that specialized in this area. However, for some reason Michigan Avenue Animal Hospital would constantly reappear on my list. I began to read the testimonies from his previous clients and suddenly a peaceful feeling came over me. Even though Dr. Dhaliwal's hospital was a great distant from Detroit to Ypsilanti Michigan, it was worth the ride.
Mandy's outcome was the same, yet the calming and patient manner in which my dog and I were given from Dr. Dhaliwal and his loving staff made a difference. Today, Mandy is still running, climbing and playing even with three legs and I am thankful for the time and quality of life I still share with her.
