Prairie Winds Veterinary Center
Fargo, North Dakota
General Info
Prairie Winds Veterinary Center is a reliable and comprehensive provider of veterinary services, assisting pet owners in meeting their animals’ needs. Prairie Winds Veterinary Center in Fargo sets a predictable tone with clinical rhythm and harmony for pets (and no pressure for owners) by following the established routines of North Dakota homes. Animals enter the exhibit at their own speed, and there are no restrictions on how they can do it. Employees observe how customers navigate and settle within the store, paying special attention to the sensory cues—tactile, auditory, or olfactory—that customers predominantly respond to. Examinations thoroughly appraise all aspects of a pet's health such as their hydration levels, skin elasticity, limb mobility, dental status and coat condition while also focusing on recent changes in their sleeping habits or household energy levels. Prairie Winds Veterinary Center offers vaccinations, bloodwork, mobility care, dental planning, preventive counsel, surgery support and long-term care discussions. Services are offered either step by step or in combination, depending on the pet’s sensory preferences. Some parents can choose to divide the care over multiple days, while others prefer to complete all the sessions at once with access to support afterwards. Each plan stems from the family’s ability to execute it, which includes factors like caregiver emotional load, pet resilience, and logistics such as transportation access and household schedules. Appointments are designed with portions for questions, notes, and story sharing which is helpful to new users and managers of chronic conditions. The Prairie Winds Veterinary Center helps pet families from Fargo and the surrounding North Dakota area make care a natural part of their lives rather than a scary chore, which enables them to connect and establish long-term rhythms. The practice offers a variety of services such as Radiology (X-rays), Emergency Care, Physical Therapy, Pocket Pet Care, and Acupuncture. These services encompass all levels of care that a pet might need throughout its life. Pet owners value the team’s expertise and empathetic communication as well as the clinic’s ability to clearly explain medical decisions. The practice also strives to build relationships with the pet owner community, especially during times of need through consistency. Additionally, the clinic plays a significant role in educating pet owners and fostering preventive care strategies. Prairie Winds Veterinary Center is active in the community, and this promotes awareness about pet ownership. New and returning clients often attest to the excellent care they receive at the facility, which continually strives to implement modern veterinary practice.

The last time my cat was in there was during COVID when I couldn't go in with her. She apparently was very anxious. they called me the day before her next appointment to have me come pick up something that will calm her down. when I say I don't live in town so I am not going to be able to get it before the appointment, I am put on hold to check if they can "even still see her." excuse me? so any animal that comes in there and is anxious has to be basically sedated the next time they can come see you?
They also clearly didn't consider the fact that the only time this has been a problem was during COVID when I wasn't in there with her.
They should have called sooner or not been so snotty when saying they would still "ATTEMPT to see her but if she isnt having it, we will have to reschedule." yeah so you can charge me twice?
horrible customer service.

Dr. Burchill and his team are amazing. He performed the TPLO surgery on my baby in April , and did a fantastic job.
Whenever I had questions or concerns ( which was almost every day for 2 long months , since the surgery is a complex one and the road to recovery is a long one ! ) I got to speak to a technician promptly . Each and every one of them answered my questions patiently, and professionally.
From the ladies at the reception to the doctors and technicians, they are all very compassionate and caring .
I am very thankful for what they did and the care my baby received at this clinic.

I had called around 5 or 6 veterinary places in Fargo Moorhead because my 15 year old cat was having litter box issues and not eating or drinking. They all said they were not taking new patients before they would even ask what was happening with Bubba. I finally called Prairie Winds and they saw him right away. They evaluated him and let me know what the issue could be and what the solution would be. They informed me upfront regarding the costs associated with his care. Needl...ess to say, after a few days of trying to pull him through, found that treatments were not working. Our family made the difficult decision to end his suffering. I could tell that the employees were just as sad as we were that he was leaving us. They were very supportive through the whole process and even sent a sympathy card with his paw prints on cards for us to cherish. It was our first experience with them and I was very impressed. I know by how they reacted and how our cat reacted that they were loving with him when he was under their care. I plan on bringing our kitten there for her care and shots when it's time because it is worth it to us to know that our pets are truely in good hands. If you are looking for a vet clinic that cares for your pet as much as you do, then Prairie Winds Veterinary Center is the place for you. Thank you from our whole family for everything you did for Bubba. God bless you all. Ver mais

Dr. Alicia and her staff always took very good care of our Charlie. They were also very helpful with answering any questions we had about his care. They were professional and compassionate when it was time to put Charlie to sleep.

I had a wonderful experience with Prairie Winds. My two temperamental cats refuse to leave the house in their kennels, so Prairie Winds did a check up for my cats at home. Dr. Alicia and Wes were kind and professional with my little monsters during the appointment. My previous vet had to forego physical exams with my female cat because she is such a fighter, but they were able to get the job done. I was very pleased with the whole process!

The staff at Prairie Winds are nothing short of amazing. I have been using them for our cats Mr. Cuddles and Bailey since we adopted them. When Bailey got sick, we took him into Dr. Alicia and her staff who walked us through every test result, every procedure, and every piece of what they were doing for our cat. They allowed us to drop him off before we went to work to fit him in during the day as well. They were always kind when we would call with questions about Bailey's care or about new symptoms we were seeing. When the day came that we knew Bailey would need to be put to sleep, they brought us in for Urgent Care (it was a Saturday) and the staff and vet who were working were in communication with Dr. Alicia who wasn't working about care options. They were extremely kind and professional with putting our beautiful Bailey to sleep and gave us the time we needed to say our goodbyes. A few weeks after, we received a card in the mail that everyone had signed and wrote messages in and postcards with Bailey's pawprints. It was a beautiful gesture. We are eternally grateful to Dr. Alicia and the staff at Prairie Winds for getting us through our tough time and giving Bailey the best care possible!

I am hating the New Pricing Schedule We have always liked the staff. However after calling in and trying to set up an appointment for our cat, I was given 3 different prices. They gave me one price for over two weeks out and another for the next week after I called. I was told another for that week. Then I had an option of coming in that day for urgent care. Each was considerably more. If you have an opening, why should I pay extra to be seen? I understand if I utilized urgent care to pay more. I emailed them and asked about it and mentioned I was considering moving to another vet. They didn't give me any answers, just told me how to go about moving to another vet if I wanted. It didn't seem like they cared how I felt as a customer. I didn't even deserve an answer. I got the feeling like if you don't like it go somewhere else.

Our new puppy has had skin issues since we got him. Our first visit to Prairie Winds was so thorough and they really explained everything so clearly! Skin problems are tough! Over the Memorial Day weekend, his rash became worse, so today I drove home in without making an appointment and they were able to accommodate us! The care and time they take is amazing!

Well, first of all I showed up early to my appointment just in case I needed to do paperwork. My appointment was at 12 .... I see someone who works there pull up at 12:04... I got taken back at like 12:13 turns out that employee was my vet (also was paying for urgent care visit at this 12 apt) the vet suggested an anal gland flush - she said sometimes they have to be sedated but that my dog handed the express of the gland well so they might not need to sedate. I said I would ...prefer to try without sedation. They asked me to wait in the waiting room and if they couldn't do the flush without sedation they would come tell me. They brought my dog out, said they did the flush, and that she did great.... she was in so much pain that night but I was like thank goodness it will be better... she didn't sleep bc of the pain. Next morning.... it looked soooo bad and burst. So now I'm frustrated she went through all this pain for nothing.... money down the drain for nothing. I call in and instead of saying bring her in we will do what we need to or comp the price from yesterday .... they say bc I didn't do what the vet suggested and they did it without sedation that's why this happened and that I need to come back in and pay for them to redo this procedure.... have my baby go through it all again ..... I'm sorry NO! And you told me it went just fine .... not impressed.... Ver mais

I was hoping that I found something special with this place, especially after reading some positive reviews. Well, I should know better, just another uncaring vet and clinic. I arrived and waited a good 15 minutes Beyond appointment time. Vet came in, looked here there, I explained I am looking for someone to team up with me for reproductive health of my dog. Was promised a call back from "Dr. Alicia" the next week as she was out for the rest of the week. Was told she is the specialist regarding this topic. Two weeks later I receive a call back from the vet I saw "Dr. Kate" she was very cold, bluntly told me although Dr. Alicia does work with reproduction she's not seeing any more patients. Basically told me to transfer my records. Not only that she took the initiative to go ahead and email my records to me before she called to get me out faster. I don't even get it, I was very pleasant and nice. Feeling very confused and hurt.

All thumbs up every time we visit this place! I have brought 4 dogs to this vet and I would never choose any place else. Last fall I was at a benefit where there was a neuter for $80 at another clinic and even though I still needed my puppy neutered I walked right past that bid sheet because it was not at Prairie Winds Vet. The staff are very caring and responsive to questions and emails. They give excellent advice and I have never felt stupid asking a question about my dogs. They had my sweet Angel during her last breath and I'm so thankful to Anna for going in at night to give her meds and spend time with her. They are quick to get us in for visits and always make recommendations that are in the best interest of long term pet health. When people talk to pets like babies, that's when you know they care. And these staff definitely care! I trust them completely with my dogs!

My cat was almost dead when I picked her up to take her to another vet for exploratory surgery after they said she was doing just fine. I had brought her in for urgent care because she had been vomitting alot and she was there overnight, they didn't do anything to help her. They didn't give her pain meds or anti nausea medications, all they did was give her iv fluids although she continued vomiting and was obviously in distress. Had I left her there I'm positive I wouldn't have came home with my beloved cat.

The last time my cat was in there was during COVID when I couldn't go in with her. She apparently was very anxious. they called me the day before her next appointment to have me come pick up something that will calm her down. when I say I don't live in town so I am not going to be able to get it before the appointment, I am put on hold to check if they can "even still see her." excuse me? so any animal that comes in there and is anxious has to be basically sedated the next time they can come see you?
They also clearly didn't consider the fact that the only time this has been a problem was during COVID when I wasn't in there with her.
They should have called sooner or not been so snotty when saying they would still "ATTEMPT to see her but if she isnt having it, we will have to reschedule." yeah so you can charge me twice?
horrible customer service.

Dr. Burchill and his team are amazing. He performed the TPLO surgery on my baby in April , and did a fantastic job.
Whenever I had questions or concerns ( which was almost every day for 2 long months , since the surgery is a complex one and the road to recovery is a long one ! ) I got to speak to a technician promptly . Each and every one of them answered my questions patiently, and professionally.
From the ladies at the reception to the doctors and technicians, they are all very compassionate and caring .
I am very thankful for what they did and the care my baby received at this clinic.

Prairie Winds has been nothing short of amazing! Archie had Dr.Alicia perform his neuter and his incision was tiny and the stitching was flawless!
We also have seeen Dr.Alex for non routine visits and she is the sweetest! Truly kind and caring with a fun sense of humor.
The vet techs have all gone above and beyond anytime we have questions and the office staff are wonderful.
We would highly recommend to anyone!

I had called around 5 or 6 veterinary places in Fargo Moorhead because my 15 year old cat was having litter box issues and not eating or drinking. They all said they were not taking new patients before they would even ask what was happening with Bubba. I finally called Prairie Winds and they saw him right away. They evaluated him and let me know what the issue could be and what the solution would be. They informed me upfront regarding the costs associated with his care. Needl...ess to say, after a few days of trying to pull him through, found that treatments were not working. Our family made the difficult decision to end his suffering. I could tell that the employees were just as sad as we were that he was leaving us. They were very supportive through the whole process and even sent a sympathy card with his paw prints on cards for us to cherish. It was our first experience with them and I was very impressed. I know by how they reacted and how our cat reacted that they were loving with him when he was under their care. I plan on bringing our kitten there for her care and shots when it's time because it is worth it to us to know that our pets are truely in good hands. If you are looking for a vet clinic that cares for your pet as much as you do, then Prairie Winds Veterinary Center is the place for you. Thank you from our whole family for everything you did for Bubba. God bless you all. Ver mais

Dr. Alicia and her staff always took very good care of our Charlie. They were also very helpful with answering any questions we had about his care. They were professional and compassionate when it was time to put Charlie to sleep. The sympathy card signed by Dr. Alicia and staff that we received a few weeks later, along with cards of Charlie's paw prints, was greatly appreciated.

I had a wonderful experience with Prairie Winds. My two temperamental cats refuse to leave the house in their kennels, so Prairie Winds did a check up for my cats at home. Dr. Alicia and Wes were kind and professional with my little monsters during the appointment. My previous vet had to forego physical exams with my female cat because she is such a fighter, but they were able to get the job done. I was very pleased with the whole process!

The staff at Prairie Winds are nothing short of amazing. I have been using them for our cats Mr. Cuddles and Bailey since we adopted them. When Bailey got sick, we took him into Dr. Alicia and her staff who walked us through every test result, every procedure, and every piece of what they were doing for our cat. They allowed us to drop him off before we went to work to fit him in during the day as well. They were always kind when we would call with questions about Bailey's care or about new symptoms we were seeing. When the day came that we knew Bailey would need to be put to sleep, they brought us in for Urgent Care (it was a Saturday) and the staff and vet who were working were in communication with Dr. Alicia who wasn't working about care options. They were extremely kind and professional with putting our beautiful Bailey to sleep and gave us the time we needed to say our goodbyes. A few weeks after, we received a card in the mail that everyone had signed and wrote messages in and postcards with Bailey's pawprints. It was a beautiful gesture. We are eternally grateful to Dr. Alicia and the staff at Prairie Winds for getting us through our tough time and giving Bailey the best care possible!

I am hating the New Pricing Schedule We have always liked the staff. However after calling in and trying to set up an appointment for our cat, I was given 3 different prices. They gave me one price for over two weeks out and another for the next week after I called. I was told another for that week. Then I had an option of coming in that day for urgent care. Each was considerably more. If you have an opening, why should I pay extra to be seen? I understand if I utilized urgent care to pay more. I emailed them and asked about it and mentioned I was considering moving to another vet. They didn't give me any answers, just told me how to go about moving to another vet if I wanted. It didn't seem like they cared how I felt as a customer. I didn't even deserve an answer. I got the feeling like if you don't like it go somewhere else.

Our new puppy has had skin issues since we got him. Our first visit to Prairie Winds was so thorough and they really explained everything so clearly! Skin problems are tough! Over the Memorial Day weekend, his rash became worse, so today I drove home in without making an appointment and they were able to accommodate us! The care and time they take is amazing! The front office staff are always so friendly and understanding! We love Prairie Winds and all of their staff!

Well, first of all I showed up early to my appointment just in case I needed to do paperwork. My appointment was at 12 .... I see someone who works there pull up at 12:04... I got taken back at like 12:13 turns out that employee was my vet (also was paying for urgent care visit at this 12 apt) the vet suggested an anal gland flush - she said sometimes they have to be sedated but that my dog handed the express of the gland well so they might not need to sedate. I said I would ...prefer to try without sedation. They asked me to wait in the waiting room and if they couldn't do the flush without sedation they would come tell me. They brought my dog out, said they did the flush, and that she did great.... she was in so much pain that night but I was like thank goodness it will be better... she didn't sleep bc of the pain. Next morning.... it looked soooo bad and burst. So now I'm frustrated she went through all this pain for nothing.... money down the drain for nothing. I call in and instead of saying bring her in we will do what we need to or comp the price from yesterday .... they say bc I didn't do what the vet suggested and they did it without sedation that's why this happened and that I need to come back in and pay for them to redo this procedure.... have my baby go through it all again ..... I'm sorry NO! And you told me it went just fine .... not impressed.... Ver mais

I was hoping that I found something special with this place, especially after reading some positive reviews. Well, I should know better, just another uncaring vet and clinic. I arrived and waited a good 15 minutes Beyond appointment time. Vet came in, looked here there, I explained I am looking for someone to team up with me for reproductive health of my dog. Was promised a call back from "Dr. Alicia" the next week as she was out for the rest of the week. Was told she is the specialist regarding this topic. Two weeks later I receive a call back from the vet I saw "Dr. Kate" she was very cold, bluntly told me although Dr. Alicia does work with reproduction she's not seeing any more patients. Basically told me to transfer my records. Not only that she took the initiative to go ahead and email my records to me before she called to get me out faster. I don't even get it, I was very pleasant and nice. Feeling very confused and hurt.

Awesome place! my dog has been having eye issues we've brought her all the way to the cities, I did some research and seen Dr. Alecia is into learning about the eyes so I gave her a try to save me a trip and also time since the ophthalmologist only comes once a month. She was great and very good at explaining things! Will definitely go back, and be doing follow up with her!

All thumbs up every time we visit this place! I have brought 4 dogs to this vet and I would never choose any place else. Last fall I was at a benefit where there was a neuter for $80 at another clinic and even though I still needed my puppy neutered I walked right past that bid sheet because it was not at Prairie Winds Vet. The staff are very caring and responsive to questions and emails. They give excellent advice and I have never felt stupid asking a question about my dogs. They had my sweet Angel during her last breath and I'm so thankful to Anna for going in at night to give her meds and spend time with her. They are quick to get us in for visits and always make recommendations that are in the best interest of long term pet health. When people talk to pets like babies, that's when you know they care. And these staff definitely care! I trust them completely with my dogs!

My cat was almost dead when I picked her up to take her to another vet for exploratory surgery after they said she was doing just fine. I had brought her in for urgent care because she had been vomitting alot and she was there overnight, they didn't do anything to help her. They didn't give her pain meds or anti nausea medications, all they did was give her iv fluids although she continued vomiting and was obviously in distress. Had I left her there I'm positive I wouldn't have came home with my beloved cat.

I adore this place. They are all so wonderful, fun, and treat your animals like gold. They don't shove a vaccine in your pet and then your out. They really make the pets comfortable and their very friendly to both pets and wonders. The store is clean and very pretty! Alicia (Main Vet) is amazing. So personable and thorough. She's excellent. Before we found this place we were taking our dog to Southgate on the corner of 32nd Avenue S and 15th Street South in Fargo. (Terrible place) I will never leave this vet and will continue to take my pets here!

Just brought my dog here for the first time and I cannot thank the staff enough. Connie fit me in immediately, the techs are pleasant and knowledgable and Dr. Burchill diagnosed him within minutes, which is amazing considering the handful of vets we've been to since moving here 2 years ago have never been able to figure out this issue. Very glad to have found this gem and looking forward to keeping our pets' care in their hands.

We have been following Dr alicia for over 10 years. We wouldn't think of taking our care anywhere else. Besides being an extremely smart and caring person, with equally awesome staff, she excels in her treatment for animals. There is always an answer for every ailment and she can get your pet on the road to a speedy recovery. I would never doubt her, and we have had some pretty sick and complicated dogs. A+++!
