The Family Pet Clinic was originally named Bartles Pet Clinic by its founder, Dr. Harry Bartles, in 1992. A year later, Dr. Terri Slezak joined the practice. In 2000, Dr. Bartles retired and sold the practice to Dr. Richard Thompson. Not long after, the clinic held a contest among its clients to choose a new name- and "The Family Pet Clinic" was born!
The staff at The Family Pet Clinic in Garfield Heights, OH is committed to providing comprehensive and individualized medical care to your pet in order to enhance his or her wellbeing and quality of life. In order to provide your pet with a long and happy life as well as to limit the lifetime cost of care for your pet, our focus is on preventative care.

Prior to obtaining her associate's degree in veterinary technology and her license as a registered veterinary technician, Jamie worked as a veterinary assistant at an emergency clinic in 2003. At The Family Pet Clinic, Jamie specializes in nursing care of very young kittens and adds that "twelve years of working with the public helps when it comes to working with the other end of the leash, the client!"
Radiographs are one of the most important diagnostic tools in veterinary medicine. They allow us to view the shape, size and location of organs inside your pet's body. Radiographs are extremely helpful for diagnosing and monitoring many medical and surgical conditions. X-rays are useful for examining your pet's bones, lungs, heart, abdomen, oral cavity and other areas of the body.

Dr. Thompson is an absolutely amazing, knowledgeable, and caring vet. It’s because of his help and genuine interest that my lab lived to be seventeen and a half. :) Now that my second dog is getting older, I am so confident that she, too, will have the best care as she ages. Thank you to his staff, as well. We have always been treated with kindness.

We have been coming here for the past 13+ years. The staff has always been extremely friendly, helpful, caring, and trustworthy throughout our most painful and difficult times we have come across. I trust them ALL 110% to care for and do what is best for our fur babies.

The Vets & Staff of Family Pet Clinic ALWAYS have the best care in mind for the pet. They've provided excellent care and have given great advice for all three of the dogs I have taken there. Although I moved across town, I still go there and will continue to. Once thing to note is that when you have had difficult adoptions like I had/have (one had skin issues, the other has mental triggers), they work to solve the problem within your means & schedule. Best vet clinic I have ever been to!

I have been going to the The Family Pet Clinic for many years with my 2 miniature pinschers and the staff is very nice and accommodating. Dr Allie is the veterinarian I always see and he is a pleasure to talk with and very caring with the animals. The follow up if the pet has a problem is always done in a timely fashion. Taking Care Credit is a big plus since regular care and proper vaccination for 2 dogs can get costly. I would highly recommend this office to any one looking for a new office or changing to another office

Everyone is kind, caring, considerate and professional. No matter what the problem is, I know Dr. Thompson and his wonderful staff will be able to help. I highly recommend The Family Pet Clinic for your fur babies or any pet you may have.
