CAVS - Companion Animal Veterinary Service was formed in 2003 by Marlene Baumeister to serve the west Michigan community. Marlene graduated from Michigan State University with a doctors degree in Veterinary Medicine. The goal of the clinic is to provide the absolute best care for the patients; to promote preventive medicine that will ensure a long and healthy lifetime for your pets and farm animals; to practice with compassion and professionalism and to establish long and lasting relationships with our clients. The staff is trained to respond to your needs and questions with courtesy and a sense of urgency. The CAVS facilities provide an excellent work environment where our staff can return  your animals to good health in the shortest possible time.

CAVS acquired Westshore Animal Clinic in Whitehall, MI in May of 2006. The new location and additional staff  allow us the opportunity to expand our geographic coverage as well as our services. Please note, we now  provide 24 Hour Emergency Service.  We have three doctors to rotate our 24 hour emergency service. Our doctors handle all the emergency services for both clinics and rotate at both clinics so that our clients can get to know all of us. (We are currently only booking large animal appointments out of our Shelby office.)

Our doctors:        Marlene Baumeister.  DVM  (owner)
