About DePorre Veterinary Hospital

Welcome to DePorre Veterinary Hospital! Since 1958, our veterinarians have been proud to provide compassionate care to the pets of Bloomfield Hills, West Bloomfield, Bloomfield Township, Birmingham, Franklin, and Royal Oak. We are proud to continue to be privately owned with multiple generations of DePorre veterinarians keeping that a priority and focus. As a full-service animal hospital, we meet your pet’s every need and enrich their quality of life. Our AAHA-accredited animal hospital offers only the highest standards of veterinary medical care. What's more is we address each pet’s emotional well-being, too, through our staff's training as Fear Free Certified Professionals and our certification as a Cat Friendly Practice. We aim to make every pet feel right at home. The team at DePorre Veterinary Hospital perform all the traditional veterinary services your pet could need, as well as cold laser therapy. Your pet has a range of options for their recovery or management of a chronic condition. We don’t only focus on a pain-free experience, we aim to eliminate all fear, too! Our trained team performs all our services with a gentle hand and fear-free techniques. The services we offer include: Wellness care through all life stages, Vaccinations, Dental care, Surgery, Spay & Neuter, Diagnostics, Pain management, Nutrition management, and Urgent care needs.

Our Culture

We strive to make each other's days a bit brighter as we navigate through whatever the day may bring. Positive energy is essential and necessary for our culture. The pets and their people deserve the absolute best and we need to keep our batteries charged with positivity vs drained with negative, draining energy. People help people at our hospital. They help with questions, cases, problems, etc. Fear Free has had an enormous impact on our culture and has helped us understand the fear, anxiety and stress that our patients carry. With that understanding, we can educate our clients and adjust our treatment to start building more and more positive experiences for them, our clients and us. We also make our practice Cat Friendly, as we know it is more challenging for most of our feline friends to travel outside their home. We do have a quieter area for our cats from entering the building, to cat only exam rooms and treatment room, complete with calming music and pheromones

Our Team

We are bound together by a love for animals and our desire to help furry family members that need us. Everyone works with that in mind every day. We have a calm, professional atmosphere for our clients, patients and team and also like to laugh and have some fun as we share our days together. We look at our team as all equal puzzle pieces coming together with our daily mission. We have a solid team with a low turnover rate and employees that have taken care of multiple generations of people's pets. Communication is key to us and we do our best to keep it strong with our 60 employees. We do this through weekly team emails, department meetings and emails and group gatherings. We also show appreciation to our team through gratitude such as please and thank you, to having a break room stocked with snacks and beverages, cards, gifts, breakfasts, lunches (Qdoba is a crowd favorite), Starbuck runs, Crumbl cookies and more!
