Get to Know Our Team
Dr. Pritpal Rangi, DVM
DVM, Practice Owner
Dr. Pritpal Rangi is the owner of Pinecrest Animal Hospital and has been a practicing veterinarian for 35 years. Dr. Rangi graduated from veterinary school in 1984 and moved to the United States from India shortly after. Dr. Rangi’s passion for veterinary medicine comes from the friendships he has formed with the people in his community. He enjoys seeing long-time clients continue a relationship with Pinecrest as it grows.
After completing veterinary school Dr. Rangi completed an internship in North Carolina. From there, he went to work for three different veterinary hospitals before deciding to start his own practice here in Owosso in 1991.
Dr. Rangi grew up in India around cows, buffalo, and dogs. He says he was influenced to follow a career in veterinary medicine because of his grandfather who always loved and cared for animals in their hometown. The bond they shared during his childhood years is what inspired his decision to become a veterinarian.
Dr. Rangi and his wife, Ravi, bought Pinecrest Veterinary Hospital together in November 1991 and made it a priority to make their clients and patients feel like family. Dr. Rangi and Ravi have three children together. Their oldest daughter Puneet, who is an orthodontist, lives with her husband, daughter Zara, and son Esaan in Connecticut. Kenny, their son, is also a veterinarian here at Pinecrest. Sabrina, their youngest is in medical school studying to become a doctor.
Dr. Rangi shares Leo, a pit bull who loves to check the counter for any snacks and give endless amounts of hugs and kisses, and Lucy with their son Dr. Kenny.
When Dr. Rangi is not treating animals at Pinecrest, he loves to play with his pets, watch movies, and spend quality time with his friends and family.
Ravi Rangi
Ravi has been raising Pinecrest Animal Hospital with her husband, Dr. Pritpal Rangi, since 1991. She sees this hospital as one of her children that she dedicated all of her time and emotions to. Ravi worked 6 and sometimes even 7 days a week to help any animals they could in the beginning. She remembers taking in emergencies and going into emergency surgeries constantly. Her love for Pinecrest has only grown as she has watched her son take on the family business. When Ravi and Dr. Rangi had just bought Pinecrest, Ravi was a registered nurse at Memorial Hospital here in Owosso where she worked from 1991 to 2010. Ravi would spend her days working at the hospital and evenings and weekends working at Pinecrest.
Ravi was born and raised in India; she grew up on a farm and always had dogs, cows, and buffalo around her. She is very genuine in the care she gives and has a gentle touch with all of our patients.

Continuing at Purdue, he received his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree in 2017. Dr. Kenny grew up in Owosso and graduated from Owosso High School in 2009, which gives him a deep connection to our community.
Dr. Kenny was inspired to follow in his father’s footsteps fulfilling his passion to help humans through their pets’ health and well-being. He has always admired the profession and all that comes with it; being a veterinarian allows him to solidify the human-animal bond between his patients and clients. Dr. Kenny says his “obsessive-compulsive personality allows him to strive for providing the best care for my patients” driving his passion for veterinary medicine. Dr. Kenny is very talented and really enjoys performing soft tissue surgeries, dental procedures, and internal medicine. He has also quickly become the go-to guy for allergies and dermatology here at Pinecrest. Dr. Kenny is constantly striving to continue learning new medicine so he can provide the best possible care to his patients.
Dr. Kenny has two American Bullies, Lucy and Leo. Leo is a ball of energy and his favorite things include giving kisses, eating, and sleeping. He’s also good at keeping Dr. Kenny up by snoring all night. Dr. Kenny and his wife welcomed their first child, Zoya, in October 2023.
