About Us

Dr. Croom Mobile Vet Service delivers high-quality holistic veterinary care directly to pet families throughout Portage, Kalamazoo, Battle Creek, Vicksburg, and Plainwell, Michigan. We focus on restoring comfort, mobility, and quality of life for senior dogs and senior cats, especially those facing arthritis, chronic pain, stiffness, weakness, or age-related anxiety. Our specialty is veterinary chiropractic, senior mobility evaluations, and natural supportive care for pets who no longer thrive in fast-paced clinic environments. We also work extensively with cats who are struggling with the litter box—whether due to arthritis, behavior changes, stress, or underlying discomfort—using a mix of telehealth video visits, environmental assessments, and tailored at-home solutions.

We provide compassionate end-of-life care, including in-home euthanasia, senior comfort plans, and hospice guidance for pets in their final stages. Many of our clients start with a virtual visit, allowing Dr. Croom to assess your pet’s movement, behavior, home setup, and overall comfort before scheduling a targeted home visit for chiropractic, mobility treatment, or a full physical and neurological exam. This blended model gives families clear guidance quickly, minimizes stress for older pets, and ensures that every step—whether improving mobility, resolving litter-box avoidance, or planning peaceful transition—is handled with expert support and deep respect.
