More Than Just a Clinic—We’re Your Neighbors
As the veterinary industry changes, many once-local clinics in Hartland, Howell, and Brighton have been bought by large national corporations—some owned by a global conglomerate based in California. While corporate ownership doesn’t diminish the skill or compassion of the veterinarians working there, Ore Creek Veterinary Clinic chooses to stay independent because we believe local care matters.
We live, work, and practice right here in our community. Our pricing and medical protocols aren’t set by executives in another state—they’re shaped by real relationships with the families and pets we see every day. We know that the Eagles, Highlanders, Tigers, and Bulldogs aren’t just mascots—they represent our kids’ schools and the heart of our town. We bank local, dine local, and take pride in caring for the pets of our neighbors.

Gannon, DVM, founded Ore Creek Veterinary Clinic with a clear vision: to provide high-quality medicine while ensuring that every client feels heard and every pet is treated as an individual.
