Make a real impact in a community that feels like home.

Welcome to Nucci Veterinary Clinic and Thomson Animal Clinic, two well-loved practices in the heart of St. Clair Shores! We're proud to be part of the Veterinary United family—a Michigan-based, family-owned group that believes in doing veterinary medicine the right way: with collaboration, compassion, and a whole lot of heart.

At Nucci, you’ll join an AAHA-accredited practice with a 30+ year legacy and a tight-knit, multi-doctor team that genuinely enjoys working together. Just down the road, Thomson Animal Clinic offers a more intimate, neighborhood vibe where clients and pets feel like family from the moment they walk in. Whether you prefer the buzz of a busy clinic or the warmth of a small-town feel—we’ve got a home for you.
