Who Are We?

It was the year 1986. A fresh batch of young minds graduated out of the Veterinary College in Hebbal, Bangalore to become the vanguards of the veterinary profession, some of whom would go on to become successful practitioners. One such bright young man was Dr Michel G Morton. Inspired by the life and times of James Herriot, he started his career as a pet practitioner focusing only on house calls.

In a career spanning 30 successful years, he has successfully created a large client base of contented pet parents, spread across the length and breadth of the city. Pet parenting has evolved dramatically in the last decade and so have their demands and expectations. Pet care also evolved to include more attention to detail, focus on scientific diagnosis and research. It also included pet needs, pet grooming, pet behavioural study and professional pet training.

Determined to ensure his loyal set of clients are catered to well, Dr Morton decided to open a hospital and research centre for all pet needs. And this is how, 'The Blue Ridge Pet Speciality Healthcare & Research Centre ' was born.

The Centre opened its doors to its first clients in April 2017 with a goal to provide the highest quality veterinary care that is convenient and delivered consistently with compassion and care. The facility is spacious, hygienic, state-of-the-art, and well stocked with medicines and pet food for dogs and cats of all hues, age shapes & sizes.

In 2019, Dr Morton and Dr Swathi H also joined hands to start the ‘The Blue Ridge Animal Welfare Trust’ that provides first aid to street animals free of cost.
