Warpinski

Dr. Patrick Warpinski

Best known as Dr. Pat, Patrick Warpinski is living his lifelong dream of owning and operating his very own "Animal House". And while admittedly it is "a ton of work," he considers himself very fortunate to do what he loves best in this world every single day. Created and developed by Dr. Pat, both the Pet Clinic and Groom & Board are reflections of his basic personality: Energetic, personable, and progressive. Dr. Pat's passion for animal health extends beyond The Animal House, in that he also is a very active volunteer and board member for the Bay Area Humane Society and supports many local pet rescue groups. When Dr. Pat is not at The Animal House or his other animal endeavors, he can be found relaxing with his wife, Collette, their four children, and yellow lab, Scout, and black standard poodle Chester, at their home near Baird's Creek.

Lewis

Dr. Heidi Lewis

Dr. Heidi’s love for animals and the science of caring for them was homespun in rural Belmont, Wisconsin. Surrounded by a menagerie on the hobby farm of her youth, she and her family raised and trained Collies. Her childhood and family life inspired a natural interest in companion animal medicine with a particular focus on birds and other exotic creatures, and advanced reproductive medicine.  A practitioner with uncommon ease and ability in the medical and surgical aspects of treating cats and dogs, Dr. Heidi brings to The Animal House a deepened expertise in avian and exotic medicine, and advanced breeding techniques.  Living with a chinchilla named Lucius, two cats, Evita and Athena, and Leo, a standard poodle, Dr. Heidi is on her way to creating a menagerie of her own for her children and husband Jim, at her home in Suamico.

Exarhos

Dr. Mike Exarhos

When you meet Dr. Mike, the first thing you will notice is his very warm and welcoming style. Easygoing and enjoying life. That's Dr. Mike. Previously a partner in a long established practice in Appleton, Dr. Mike brings a wide range of animal care experience to The Animal House. When queried about what he loves most about being a veterinarian after 25 years, Dr. Mike responds quite sincerely when he says, "Working with clients and their pets on a very personal level." Considered by many folks to be a family pet doc, he has treated several generations of owners and their pets over the years and developed many lifelong relationships. Dr. Mike's compassion and commitment for others doesn't end there. For several years he was highly involved with Special Olympics basketball and is just beginning to dedicate himself to Habitat for Humanity. Married to Patricia, he enjoys his two adult sons and their families,  and of course his two Siamese cats, Maynard and Ezra.
