About Academy West Animal Hospital Boarding & Grooming
Academy West Animal Hospital has been operating to help pets in need since 1976. The owner of the practice is Dr. Thomas J Ratke.
A graduate of Michigan State University, he has been practicing for 35 years, and has many years of experience when it comes to the care of our client's pets. He also has been working for 13 years with the Search and Rescue and is currently working for the Federal Government Veterinary Disaster Relief. Dr. Ratke helped for 3 weeks when Hurricane Katrina hit.
Our associate veterinarian is Dr. James Kimmel, who has had years of experience in treating all kinds of pets. Several years ago, this clinic would see large farm animals, but we still occasionally see a pig or two. We mostly specialize in small animals, such as dogs & cats, but we do see exotics like; ferrets, guinea pigs, rats, bunnies, some reptiles and birds.
We are a full service veterinary hospital offering basic surgery as well as some complex surgeries, and all facets of medicine. We specialize in internal medicine, radiology, and are incorporating ultrasound. We also provide boarding and grooming at our facility.
We strive to meet your pet's needs and keep them healthy. We hope you stop by and visit us for any needs your pet may have. Our friendly outgoing staff will make you feel right at home. Our clients are like an extended part of the family.
You and your pets are welcome to schedule a personal tour of the hospital and check out the facility.

Caregivers?
Posted by lostintranslation on 5/6/2008
All employees of the hospital are wonderfull! Its the owner that bothers me. He is all about money and not the care of animals excpept his own!! Ive seen behind the doors. Thank god for the loving staff. If not for them, no animal would desirve to go there. Please take in to consideration before going, that they OVERCHARGE, RATKE IS RUDE AND HAS NO BEDSIDE MANNERS, AND THEY WILL DOUBLE BOARD ANIMALS IN KENNELS without your knowledge! (only when told to do so by ratke) They do help with golden rescue and a few other orgs but only for the money. If the rescue groups are running low on funds, they wont be seen untill their accounts are in a "good" standings. HELLO!! Its called a rescue group!! Please take time and investigate your animal care facility. Just because they have been around for a long time doesnt mean that they are the best! It just means they know alot of people and have alot of pull!!
Excellent Service
