About Our Veterinary Clinic
Colonial Veterinary Clinic was started as a dog and cat hospital by Dr. Kermit Walter in 1973. Upon Dr. Walter’s retirement In 2004, the practice was purchased by Dr. Robert Hott, a 1984 graduate of the University of Illinois. After a complete remodeling, we opened up “Colonial Veterinary Clinic 2.0”. We eventually outgrew our little “house clinic” and purchased a commercial building at 1115 S. Main St., just down the street from our former facility. After another complete remodeling, we opened it in April 2016.
Our office is located in Plymouth, but we serve clients from Northville, Livonia, Canton, Westland, and the surrounding area.
If you have any questions about our clinic, stop by for a visit! A helpful staff member will be happy to give you a tour and tell you more.
Cancellation Policy
Our goal at Colonial Veterinary Clinic is to provide high quality care for all your pet family members. There has been an increase in need for veterinary care in our community and we are doing the best we can to provide individualized medical care in a timely manner. Unfortunately, there have also been an increase in no-shows and cancellations which inconvenience pets and families who are in need of veterinary care.
Starting October 1, 2024, we will be implementing a No Show and Late Cancellation Policy due to these occurrences.
No Show Policy: A “no-show” is a client who misses an appointment without cancelling it. If you fail to be present at the time of a scheduled appointment, you will be charged $50. This fee will need to be paid before any future appointments can be scheduled.
Late Cancellation Policy: In order to be respectful of the medical needs of other pets, please be courteous and call our office promptly if you are unable to show up for an appointment. This time will be given to a pet who is in need of care. We require a 24 hour advance notice for any cancellation. If you cancel or reschedule an appointment with less than 24 hour notice, you will be charged a fee of $30. This fee will need to be paid before any future appointments can be scheduled.
You can reschedule or cancel an appointment by emailing us at mail@colonialvetclinic.com or by calling our office at (734) 459-1600.
