Took my pet there several times, seemed like they cared but turned out they're just in it for the money. They said my pet would be better in no time, gave her the shots and told me exactly what the problem was with her. A week later she was still sick, called them to see if they would see her again since I was charged for basically nothing, and was told I would be charged again! Money is more important than the well being of my fur baby. So disappointedRead Less

We've been taking our 2 cats and 3 dogs to Dr. Skarich for a few years now and he and his whole staff are just great. I have a fairly high maintenance kitty who is continously fighting UTI's and every time I call they manage to get her in right away because they truly love animals and don't want her to be in pain any longer than she has to. I always leave there feeling like my pets have gotten the best care possible and they are all super nice. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Love them! Read Less

I stopped in there the other day without an appointment... with the little dog that I just rescued hours earlier... they were so kind and gentle people, they said sure bring him right in.. they check him out real quick and clip his nails.... and we ended up scheduling for a spade in November.. you want people there that love animals just as much as you do..This is the place to bring your family pets Read Less

Doc and his crew are amazing! He will always try the least invasive before charging you an arm and a leg to heal your furbaby! He has always been honest with us and has always led us down the right path when our animals have been in need of care!Read Less

Back in late October my male cat started having seizures. Not knowing what it was, I called Northside as I was crying like a baby, where the staff calmed me down and scheduled an appointment for that week. Not only was my old kitty a new patient, but also a huge baby when it came to car rides and the vet. I'll never know how Dr. Skarich calmed my cat down, but he was so helpful. Oliver has been healthy ever since, and all my other fur babies have now transferred over to Northside. My very high strung pit who seem to be too much to handle for our previous vet, had finely met a vet who could handle him. I also take my three year old bearded dragon in for check ups! I am forever grateful for the staff at Northside! Read Less

Our family can't thank Dr. Skarich and his team enough for caring for our recent little hamster house guest, Jax, for whom we were "babysitting" while his family was away. While he was with us, Jax developed a terrible infection that eventually required surgery. We are so grateful that Dr. Skarich was skilled and willing to address this little visitor's emergency, and now Jax is as good as new, thanks to Dr. Skarich. Northside has always taken great care of our family dog, but little did we know we'd also need them for a hamster 911! Thanks, Dr. Skarich and staff -- you are THE BEST! Read Less

The entire staff of this animal hospital are all so kind and caring, not only to their patients but to the humans that love them. We recently had to say goodbye to our 10 year old lab. It was as terrible as you can imagine but Dr. S. and his team were incredibly sensitive and understanding. Read Less

20 on a scale of 1-10. Dr. Skarich and his staff are wonderful! They always make you feel welcome and important. This was a difficult time for us and Dr. Skarich answered all our questions in a kind and capable way. He is thoughtful, caring and honest, even when it is bad news. The whole staff was professional, yet sincere in their condolences. We will continue to take our animals here and will recommend Northside to everyone. Read Less

I'm completely happy and astounded by the compassion and dedication of Dr. Skarich and his team! My golden lab became sick and they did all they could to help him and I know that for a fact, Dr. Skarich even took my dog (hank) into his own home to try to address the problem! Although the fight finally became to much for hank, he knew he was loved, and I guarantee there could have been no greater team then Northside!!! Thank you guys again for everything, I will continue to recommend you guys, and when I finally decide to get another animal, you can bet I'm coming back!! Read Less

I told Dr. Skarich that I wish he were my doctor and its true! We love and trust him. We have a sweet lab, a little dog who is our baby and our cat. He is so nice and the dogs love him. He has done surgeries on them 2 times and they did great. One time, he saved her life! The best thing about Dr. Skarich is that you can trust him. He is a great doctor and you know he loves pets. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone. Read Less

I was hesitant when Dr. Hook retired because we thought he was wonderful ? who could be as great, would he be as nice or inexperienced? But, after these last years, I have to say that Dr. Skarich is fantastic - a very kind person to me and my dogs and cat. I can tell he cares. He had to tell me some very bad news this winter and it wasn?t so bad because he got it right and I needed to get prepared. I was just there for our spring check-ups and it reminded me that I am grateful Dr. Nick takes care of us. Read Less

I was referred by Dr Miller because this vet worked under him and was close to my home. When I called the lady was really rude and uncooperative to say the least!!!! She refused to even ask the vet a question! lol! I am so glad I chose another vet in the area, I told the other staff about this incident and they laughed. Read Less

What a great office! Dr Skarich is a kind, caring & gentle vet-the staff was friendly & helpful. When I brought my dog in for the first time he sat down on the floor to meet her. He made us both comfortable. Zero complaints! Read Less

I would strongly tell my friends to take their dogs and cats to Dr. Skarich. Everyone up front and in the room is caring and you can tell they love animals. My dog had been vomiting and sick and was miserable! They got her right in, did some tests, gave her lots of medicine and she started feeling better. I guess my little trash compactor has to be supervised out in our yard and barn more. She'll eat anything! She went from being close to dying in my eyes to having her good life back. Thank you Dr. Skarich and everyone who helped us! Read Less

I have gone to Dr. Skarich for years and always been very happy. He is kind and really cares about animals. I have a cat that is usually nice, but is a real stinker at the vet, and he just calmly wraps her in a towel and quickly and nicely does what she needs. No guilt about her attitude! My dogs love him and he has been very good at figuring out a couple of their complex medical problems. Read Less

Dr. Skarich and his staff at Northside Animal Hospital on M-52 in Owosso had some pretty big shoes to fill when Dr. Hook sold his practice and they have performed admirably. Dr. Skarich impresses as a very knowledgeable, attentive, and caring veterinarian with local roots. The staff are very accommodating, professional, and have the best possible demeanor and disposition with pets. Our two cats are seen by Dr. Skarich and his staff and we strongly recommend Northside Animal Hospital to all pet owners. Read Less
