This is the best vet clinic Ive ever used. The staff is knowledgeable, kind, caring and compassionate to both animals and owners. Its very easy to get an appointment and if your animals have a favorite vet, you can request that vet. The pricing is about the same as other clinics in the area. These vets have dedicated small animal and large animal vets and a few do both. I love this clinic and would not take my animals any other place!

I LOVE this place. Dr. Gianna is wonderful with my horses. She's thorough, follows up and has a sincere interest in my pets' health. Elvis had his eye removed by Dr. Gianna due to cancer and he healed perfectly! Couldn't be happier with TVS!

I have used Thumb Veterinary Services for over 50 years when it was Deckerville Veterinary Clinic. From Doc Muir, Walton, Schroeder to the Vets today...I have always gotten great Vet care for my Cats, Dogs, Horses. I have had to say goodbye to my Scottish Terrier "Mac" in recent years and was so happy to have a very compassionate Vet Ann Roberts help me with that process. Then last year I had to put down my 32 year old Quarter Horse "Foxy" and again had great compassionate vets to help. Monya and Vet Tech Chelsea were great that day too:) I have had good Vet care for my current Scottish Terrier

I can say enough about the entire staff here! They take awesome care of my service dog a Siberian Husky who was hit by a truck two yrs ago. I switched to them the next day as the came in ASAP to care for her, the rate was reasonable, the care was incredible! Compassionate, extremely knowledgeable along with being very formative about my dog etc. by the Grace of God she only had large leg laceration bumps bruise. They now care for my five cats also ranging in age 2 months to 15 years They take their time with each visit, dont try to over care for what is going on with animal at the time, always
