Northwoods is an incredible veterinarian practice; I have been taking my babies here for over 10 years and do not trust anyone else. Whether it's for a simple nail trim, or a full annual exam, they are genuine in their passion for animal health. I highly recommend them! Read Less

Treated us like we had been patients for years. Very professional yet caring. Dr. Chappell explained all procedures in detail and gave recommendations but let us ultimately decide what to do without judgement. The techs and front office people were fantastic. Would highly recommend. Read Less

The people at Northwoods Animal Hospital have taken care of our cat for 13.5 years. They knew his peculiarities and accommodated them every time he was boarded with them. I am very happy with the support we received when Thomas became ill and was pleasantly surprised when we received a hand-written sympathy card from the vet after he had died. I highly recommend them.

I did not like this vet. They are kinda pushy and don't seem genuine. They were ready to charge me a bundle on a procedure without getting a second opinion. I waited and found a week later my cat didn't need anything done. Also I made it clear that funds was an issue and was still pushed and charged for unnecessary non emergency services, which blew my budget. Read Less

Have been a client of Northwoods and Dr. Hudson's for over 25 years. They are caring, attentive, and thorough. I read through the negative reviews here, and while I feel it must in large part be a response to a heartbreaking loss, I can't agree with the assessment. The care and compassion that the doctors and staff have shown our pets through the years is unparalleled and exceeds my expectations at most every turn.Read Less

I started bring my dachshund to Dr Melissa after a terrible experience at another vet in Cary, The staff and of course Dr Melissa are wonderful. She was able to make the last years of my dog's life a happy healthy one. Even though she passed at almost 14 years I know she received the best care a pet could have.

Wonderful care and great staff. We have been a client for more than nine years. This location is convenient to our home. Our two male dogs are small, a yorkipoo and maltese. They share a run when they stay over night which we think is better than having them in separate cages. Melissa and her father built a solid business with good people helping them. Read Less

We have been taking our dogs there for several years and no issues. They take great pride in good caring service for your dog. We also use them for boarding and no issues there either. Highly recommend!! Read Less

Stay away.  I took my bichon to Dr. Hudson and my dog almost lost his eye.  I had to take him to an emergency vet.  Dr. Hudson also took care of my cocker spaniel who suffered an early death because she did not address an earlier urinary tract infection which lead to kidney failure.  My neighbors have all left her-I should have followed their lead.  My bichon had a terrible ear infection in both ears and instead of giving medicine for both ears-Dr. Hudson had me treat only one ear. -My bichon could have gone deaf in his ear that was untreated.  Again--stay away.

I have been taking my cats to Northwoods Animal Hospital for the past ten years. I have always found all the Dr's & staff to be caring, pleasant, and knowledgeable. They where very compassionate when my first cat passed away due to heart failure. They have been very helpful with the cat I have now due to behavioral issues. I would highly recommend Northwoods Animal Hospital to anyone. Read Less

I've been taking our dogs to Northwoods since we adopted our older dog.  I started and stayed with them because they donate time and services to weimaraner rescue....and clearly they know weims.  My two are absolutely crazy, so it has been important to find someone who understands this is not unusual and doesn't make me feel terribly incompetent over the situation.They remind me of scheduled needs, such as shots or purchasing heartworm meds.  They sedate my older dog who can't stand having his claws trimmed.  They don't pressure me to get every single thing possible, but instead offer and let me choose. I sometimes take them in for kenneling and I can tell they are well cared for while there.  I trust them. Read Less

What I admire most about the Northwoods Animal Hospital is their patient and knowledgeable staff members. My husband and I keep busy schedules, but they've always managed to squeeze us in for an appointment. Another bonus, is their reminders they send us via mail to make sure our dogs get their regular check ups. Northwood is all about keeping your pet happy and well balanced, no strings attached.

Dr. Hudson and staff are wonderful. I could not have asked for better service from NAH from the moment I walked in the clinic. It is very apparent that they care very much about their patients, both two and four legged. Dr. Hudson took the time to explain a few things about Layla's condition that had not been explained by a previous vet. Not only is the service great but their cost for a particular test that was recommended was $90 less expensive than the previous vet we were seeing. So glad I went for a second opinion!!! I will continue to take Layla to Dr. Hudson for everything! Read Less

For four years, I took my resuced Weimaraner Tess to Dr. Christy and other wonderful members of the NAH staff. They took care of her and counseled me (a first time dog owner) like we were members of the family. Tess and I were both greeted by name and welcomed when we walked in the door from second visit through the last one. Appointments were scheduled to fit into my work routine, and they always called to see how she was doing if she had been sick - sometimes as many as two or three times. Dr. Christy herself frequently called me after hours and on weekends to check up on her, and would talk patiently as long as I had questions or concerns. Sometimes you find medical professionals (for animals and people) who are technically proficient, but miss critical pieces of the patient puzzle because they don't listen. Dr. Christy and her colleagues *listened* to me, and they paid enough attention to *know* Tess, and what subtle signs indicated there was a pending problem - even if the typical diagnostics didn't show anything wrong. ""She doesn't have a fever, and her lungs sound okay, but she's not wagging her tail the way she normally does."" They didn't need me to tell them that - they paid enough attention to her to know! I would get reports like, ""I notices she did so and so,"" or, ""You know, in the kennel, she does the funniest thing. . . "" I knew she hadn't been just taken to the kennel and forgotten! The NAH support staff couldn't have been nicer - they were always helpful, friendly, and informative. Dr. Christy realized that I would have hung the moon for Tess, but I had to do it on a budget. So even during the last year of her life, when she always either sick or recovering - every consideration was made for both Tess and for me - how to give her the best care in a way that I could afford. I intially went to Northwoods because it was near my job and came highly recommended by a colleage. Now I recommend their practice to anyone I know who has a pet, no matter where they live. And when I myself am ready to welcome another four-legged friend, NAH is without a doubt where I will go. Read Less

My family has been taking our cats to Northwoods Animal Hospital for years. The vets and vet techs are knowledgeable, friendly, and obviously love animals. They're good at explaining your options for diagnosing and treating your pet, and will give you a price estimate before you make a decision.They make recommendations based on what's best for the pet, not what makes them the most money. When one of our cats suffered a lower spinal fracture that paralyzed her back legs, the emergency vet -- a different place -- said that she would never walk again unless we undertook a difficult and expensive surgery. The vets at Northwoods told us that on the contrary, they had seen cats with this injury make a full recovery. They recommended that we keep the cat confined for about a month (in a large dog crate), so that she could heal. Just as they said, she made a full recovery.  She not only walked again, but ran and jumped again -- lived for many years after that with a fully normal quality of life.And when it comes time to make that final hard decision for your pet, the people at Northwoods are kind, gentle, and compassionate. They've treated our cats well from kittenhood through their final days.They are not the cheapest vet in the Triangle (it ran about $300 for appointment, X-rays, blood workup, and meds when my cat was having frequent coughing/sneezing fits), but they do a good job. And as I said above, I think their prices are fair, not intended to separate you from your money. I can definitely recommend Northwoods for cat care. I've never owned a dog, so can't speak to that personally -- but I imagine they treat dogs just as well. Read Less

I am a vet student, and I took my dogs to Northwoods after having a VERY bad experience with another vet (Glenwood Animal Hospital). Northwoods is AAHA accredited, meaning the adhere to and uphold higher standards of animal care than most hospitals in this area. The staff are very compassionate, and they saved the life of one of my dogs. They are up-front with you about what is wrong with your animal and what your options are (unlike other places that only give you one option). They will always follow-up with you and check-up with you about your animal when you take it home, even after just a physical exam and vaccines, and I really value that. Until I become a vet, this is who I will entrust for the care of my animals. My dogs truly love this place, and I cannot put a pricetag on that! Read Less
