Bartels Pet Clinic was established in 1992 by Dr. Harry Bartels. At that time, Dr.
Bartels had two other clinics in Brecksville and Parma, Ohio. He wanted to bring to
Garfield Heights the superb veterinary care that he already provided in these other
cities. In 1993 Dr. Terri Slezak joined the practice. In 2000 Dr. Bartels retired and
sold the practice to Dr. Richard Thompson. Prior to this, Dr. Thompson had been
practicing for 8 years in Avon Lake, Ohio. In 2002 we changed our name to The
Family Pet Clinic.
This is The Family Pet Clinic located at 5151
Turney Road in Garfield Heights, Ohio. We
specialize in small animal medicine and take
care of mostly dogs and cats. We also treat
rabbits, ferrets, hamsters, gerbils, rats, and
small birds such as parakeets and cockatiels.
We also welcome exotics such as hedgehogs,
snakes, turtles, and iguanas. In making this web
page we hope to tell you a little about our clinic
and staff, and keep you informed on health care
issues that pertain to your pet.
