Bay Valley Animal Hospital was founded in 1979 by Dr. Philip Engelhardt Sr. and has been providing veterinary care for the past 41 years for Bay City and the surrounding areas in MI. In 2018, Dr. Engelhardt Sr. decided to keep the practice in the family by selling to his son, Dr. Philip Engelhardt Jr. and daughter-in-law, Dr. Elizabeth Hogen. Since then, the practice has expanded to a five doctor practice. Dr. Philip Engelhardt Jr, Dr. Elizabeth Hogen, Dr. Philip Engelhardt Sr., Dr. Thomas Catlin, and Dr. Elizabeth Haiderer are licensed veterinarians, treating all types of pets and animals. Your pet's health and well being is very important to us and we will take every step to give your pet the best possible care.

Covid-19 Update as of July 2021

As of June 1, 2021 masks will not be required when outside in the parking lot for curbside services. However, we will ask clients to put on a mask if coming in to the building until July 1, 2021.

This is giving our staff time to get fully vaccinated if they choose to do so and to follow the MIOSHA guidelines. July 1, 2021 mask will not be required outside or inside for all patrons and staff.

We will however still be asking clients to call when they arrive for appointments, and we will let them in the building when an exam room is available for their pet's appointment. Curbside will still be available for those who do not want to come in the building or if rooms are full, we can still do a curbside appointment to keep the flow going. Clients will be allowed in the building without calling if they are picking up medications or food. For the most part, we will go back to normal, we just want to limit the number of people in the waiting room to control the flow and still promote social distancing the best we can.

The doctors and staff appreciate all of our client's support and understanding over the last year as we had to develop a new way to continue to help our patients yet keep our clients and staff safe.
