Athens, Michigan · Full-service veterinary care
One small-town practice for every animal you love — from the family dog on the exam table to the 4-H show calf and the whole herd out on the farm.
Companion Care
Dogs, cats & pocket pets at the Athens clinic.
Farm & Large Animal
Cattle, small ruminants & the whole herd.
One clinic. Every animal on the place.
Our difference
Most clinics pick a lane. Athens Veterinary Services doesn't — the same hands that spay your kitten will stitch a laceration in the field. Two kinds of medicine, one trusted country practice.
Family pets, at the Athens clinic
Wellness exams, vaccines, surgery and dentistry for the dogs, cats and pocket pets who share your home — the everyday medicine that keeps your family whole.
The whole herd, in conjunction with Beadle Lake Veterinary Clinic
From cattle reproduction and small-ruminant surgery to Coggins tests and the 4-H show animals in the barn — Dr. Setlak is as at home on a dairy farm as she is in the exam room.

Our team
A small crew of Michigan animal people — several of whom keep livestock of their own — looking after your family pets and your farm.
Attending Veterinarian · Owning Partner
A 2008 graduate of the Michigan State University College of Veterinary Medicine (and a 2004 graduate of the University of Findlay), Dr. Setlak enjoys both large and small animal medicine — whether performing emergency surgery at a dairy farm or attending a police-department K-9 training event. When she is home on the family hobby farm, you will find her caring for her horses and beef cattle. She looks forward to meeting your family pets, 4-H show animals, or entire herd on the farm.
Veterinarian
A 2014 graduate of the MSU College of Veterinary Medicine with a Master of Public Health (MSU, 2015), Dr. Bain practices both small and large animal medicine, with a particular interest in small ruminants and camelid medicine, surgery, and veterinary dentistry. She splits her time between Beadle Lake Veterinary Clinic and Athens. She raises llamas, has two cats, and enjoys music, gardening, hiking, and the fiber arts.
