Who We Are
Oak Leaf Veterinary Clinic is a small animal clinic in Shorewood, WI. We got our name from the Oak Leaf trail which runs through the greater Milwaukee area. We focus on cats and dogs with the hopes of including other small animals in the future. We are an independently, woman-owned practice offering general wellness, urgent care, surgery, dentistry and much more.
Our goal is to make sure our clients feel like they are part of the decision making for their pets. Educating the pet owners to ensure they understand diagnostics and treatments builds a more trustworthy doctor-client relationship. Using fear-free practices will make our patients feel more comfortable while in the clinic. We believe that pets are part of the family and should be treated as such. We at Oak Leaf Veterinary Clinic are committed to caring for your pet through all the seasons of life!
