How to Schedule an Appointment

  1. Call the appropriate phone line. Use 616-891-9070 for pets or 616-891-9073 for large animals. Calling is the most direct way to confirm availability and ask about your animal's specific needs.
  2. Or request an appointment through the website. The site includes a "Make an Appointment" option, which lets you submit a request online. Expect a follow-up to confirm the actual time slot.
  3. Prepare basic information. Have your animal's species, age, and reason for the visit ready. The hospital frames its care around preventive services such as routine exams, vaccinations, parasite prevention, and dentistry, so mentioning whether this is a routine or problem visit helps route your request.
  4. Confirm the appointment. Whether you call or submit an online request, verify the date, time, and which phone line or entrance to use on the day of your visit.

What to Expect at Your Visit

Southkent describes its approach as combining advanced medicine with preventive care. A typical first visit centers on a once-a-year exam, which the hospital calls the "centerpiece of preventive health care" for early detection. Depending on your animal, the team may also discuss nutrition, vaccinations, parasite control, or dentistry. For pets over three years old, dental care is a common topic.

Common Questions

Can I reach someone about large animals specifically? Yes. The large animal line, 616-891-9073, is separate from the main number.

Is the hospital open on weekends? The listed hours cover Monday through Friday only. No Saturday or Sunday hours are published, so plan routine visits on weekdays.

Can I book without calling? The website offers an appointment request option, but it is a request rather than a confirmed booking. For urgent or time-sensitive needs, calling is more reliable.
