🍓🥑 The cutest little Avocato & Strawberry girls! 🥑🍓

Meet Hati & Skoll, two adorable fluffy kittens who came to Animal Medical Center of Marquette for their spays—and they brought the CUTEST outfits with them!

Skoll rocked a precious strawberry spay suit 🍓, while her sister Hati sported an adorable avocato suit! 🥑🐱 (Yes… we absolutely had to make the pun.)

After their procedures, these two fluffy sisters got plenty of TLC from Dr. Bethany, who was more than happy to give them all the cuddles they deserved. ❤️

Spays, snuggles, and the cutest post-op outfits? We call that a pretty purr-fect day! 🥰🐾

Get well soon, Hati & Skoll! We can't wait to see those sweet faces again! 🍓🥑🐱

💙 A little kindness goes a long way — especially when you’re talking to the people on the other end of the phone. 📞🐾

We know how stressful and scary it can be when your pet isn’t feeling well. They’re family, and we understand how much you worry about them. ❤️

Our Client Service Representatives are here working hard all day long to answer calls, schedule appointments, communicate with our medical team, answer questions, and help make sure your pet gets the care they need.

Sometimes the phones are ringing nonstop, the lobby is busy, and there are a million things happening behind the scenes. Your patience, understanding, and kindness mean more than you know.

And of course, Peanut is here to help… although we’re still working on her customer service skills. 😂🐶📞

Peanut’s official policy: Be kind to our staff, or you may be placed on paw-hold. 🐾

Thank you for trusting us with your beloved family members and for being part of our AMC Marquette family. We’re all on the same team — you, us, and your pets. 💙

A bee sting hits a dog and a cat in completely different parts of the body, which is why a limp, vomiting cat needs help faster than a puffy-faced dog. Hives, swelling, and full anaphylaxis are the same immune system at different volumes. Our latest post breaks down how to tell which level your pet is at.

🐾❤️ A Very Special Day at Animal Medical Center of Marquette! ❤️🐾

This week, our team had the privilege of spaying and neutering 13 rescue Bloodhounds as they prepare for the next chapter of their lives.

These sweet dogs have already been through so much, and we are honored to play a small role in helping them on their journey toward loving forever homes. Spaying and neutering is an important step in preparing rescue animals for adoption, improving their health and helping reduce pet overpopulation.

We are incredibly proud of our doctors and staff for dedicating their time, skill, and compassion to ensure these dogs are healthy and ready to begin their new lives.

We wish each of these Bloodhounds nothing but loving families, warm beds, and many happy years ahead.

A heartfelt thank you to the rescue organization for the incredible work they do every day to give animals a second chance. It truly takes a community working together to make stories like these possible.

Here's to new beginnings and futures filled with love!

Jojo and Siggy had their first kitten appointment at Animal Medical Center of Marquette today, and they were such brave little explorers! 🐾❤️ They got lots of treats, attention, and care, but even a fun, Fear Free visit is a lot for two tiny kittens.

Now they're completely worn out, all snuggled up together, recharging after their big adventure. Watching them cuddle is just about the cutest thing ever. 🥹🐱🐱

With the weather being so dreary outside, I think they've got the right idea. Some days are just made for staying cozy inside, snuggling your best buddy, and sleeping through the rain. 😴💕

A dog cooling off pants easier as he rests. A dog slipping into heat stroke pants harder, and his gums shift to brick red. That one small check can tell you whether a warm afternoon has turned into an emergency. Our latest post walks through the early signs families miss and what to do on the drive in.

We would like to welcome our new veterinarian, Marquette’s own Dr. Bethany Rudness, to the AMC family🐕🐈‍⬛🐩🥳

Dr. Bethany was born and raised in Marquette, so you’ve probably seen her around through the years! After completing her Bachelor of Science degree in Biology at NMU in 2020, she got accepted to the Michigan State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 2022. She enjoyed her brief 4-year “vacation” at MSU, but couldn’t beat the call of Lake Superior and had to return home to practice.

While at MSU, Dr. Bethany found an interest in small animal rehabilitation, nutrition, and small animal emergency medicine. She participated in several vaccine clinics for the East Lansing community and has a strong passion for owner education. She has spoken to the NMU Pre-Vet club for the past few years and loves interacting with anyone interested in the field of veterinary medicine. She is level 2 Fear Free certified, holds several American Kennel Club evaluator certifications, and has a 4-year background in positive reinforcement dog training from her time at TacoMo Dog Training during her undergraduate studies.

Dr. Bethany adopted a beagle/lab mix from MSU’s on-campus research facility and named him Scamp. She found her fun in between classes and studying to socialize and train him, and he’s now 3 years old with the biggest ears and a bubbly personality. She lives in Marquette with Scamp and finds any excuse to get outside, especially during this beautiful UP summer weather. She loves attending local theatre, exploring her hometown, and catching a b**r at local breweries. Scamp loves going to Poet’s Pet Parlor to make new friends and getting the occasional puppy ice cream at Frosty Treats!

Dr. Bethany looks forward to serving the community she grew up in, and can’t wait to grow as the veterinary professional that’s been 20+ years in the making.

You’ll see Dr. Bethany here at the hospital starting in July. Stop by and say hello, we are so excited to have her!

A swollen lymph node in your dog or cat does not automatically mean cancer, but it is not something to watch and wait on either. Our latest post explains what enlarged lymph nodes can signal, why prompt evaluation matters, and what testing helps clarify the cause.
