North Shore Animal Hospital

All of the vets, staff very helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. They really love animals here. My cats and dogs are happy to come here. Well, the cats aren't exactly "happy", but they are certainly much calmer here than they were at other vets offices where I used to live. Read Less

Definitely the best vet clinic I've ever been to. Absolutely love all the doctors, a great staff, and very reasonable prices. We've been going to them for care for 12 years now (3 dogs, 1 cat). They're terrific with pets and really know their stuff. Love how friendly they are and help with anything you need or need to know. Read Less

Brought in a stray dog. They quickly found & read her chip, discovered her owner(s), and contacted them. During the visit I developed chest pain and they quickly called the EMT's for me, then one staff member stayed with me until they came but everyone else checked in with me regularly too until I left. They're wonderful and I'll take my pets there as long as I have pets!Read Less

I want to thank the staff & Dr. Rock were so kind & thought as we had to say goodbye to our Chewy our pet cat. I can't say enough good things about North Shore & I will recommend them to any our our friends & acquaintances. Thank you North Shore. Read Less

The Doctors and everybody that works there are Very Excellent. When my cat Maggie was having health problems I always got an appointment the same day. The staff is Very Caring,Helpful and they have Compassion for all of my cats. I'm sure that it's the same for anybody that would choose to go there for their animal's care. My Family and I have been going to this Vet since 1976 and I will be taking my latest cat to them for his care. I can't say enough about how I have been given the Greatest Care at North Shore.

I can't say enough about the support staff and doctors. They are all wonderfully skilled and professional. I have a multi pet household (dogs & a cat) that range from senior to a new pup. They have seen me through emergencies and taken care of routine visits and addressed all concerns. They give great advice and emotional support. ThanksKelly, Calamity, Dewy, Drake & Toffee Read Less

Just like everything...you get what you pay for. I love the attention and friendly staff. Great Drs. and techs. Front desk is great too...very helpful and friendly. Much better than other Clinics I've been to in the area. Read Less

To start off, this place doesn't even deserve a 1 star rating. Me and my sister took her 6 month year old puppy here because he hurt is left front leg and was limping and not putting pressure onto it. We go into the exam room and the male "doctor" named Todd, was pulling him very roughly with his leash and was yanking him around and he peed and they got upset about that and then the "doctor" dares to continue to ask my sister if she takes him to obedience school and that she should. Not only did they terrify him enough so he'd pee twice but when examining him, the nurse forcefully grabs his paw/leg that is hurt and is tightly gripping it. When she came out to give him a treat and his medicine, he ran away from her. The receptionists were very nice and helpful but besides that, this place is complete and utter CRAP! I left this place entirely mad and will NEVER be returning. Read Less

North Shore Animal Hospital provides the best animal care around. Not only do they have gracious and concerned staff, they go above and beyond any vet service I have had during the past 30 years. They recommended testing at the Vet School in Madison when they were at a loss for answers, they recommended other specialists as well. Most importantly, they are open to any and all concerns you have and answer your questions in laymans terms that you can understand. I will always thank them for their concern for my animals. I recommend them to everyone I know. This practice has become family to me and my furkids and I will ALWAYS bring the kids to them. Read Less

This place is a total joke. They are way over priced! They charge a records fee! Yes a RECORDS FEE for just having your cat or dog listed in a file in their office. I have never had a vet do that before! On top of it the problem we had with our dog was not taken care of. The vet was afraid to upset the dog to properly do an exam. The dog would squirm and the vet just kept giving him treats. A puppy that gets too many treats can lead to diarehea the vet should have known 5 treats later! What does that matter to her. We had to deal with him at home not her! Instead of holding the dog with help from me and my husband, then doing the exam to find out what was going on. She never finished the exam saying she did not want to stress out the dog. She never even checked his health like a vet does in a regular exam. This was her first time seeing him! We paid for other things to be done along with the exam which was not properly done in my opinion. To top it off the regular exam price went up $15 dollars since they felt it was not just a regular exam since we came in with a question about the dog that was something more than just a regular exam. I never heard of exams being in different catagories with different prices! After a week (and a big bill) the antibiotics did not work fully we called back to go in again to see what other antibiotics she could maybe give our dog. They wanted to charge us for everything to be done again that we already had done the week before! When I said fine, but do we get a discount since this was just done a week ago and chances are you will find nothing new. They said no we charge what we charge no revisit discount. We just had these tests done last week! I had a really good vet in the past, and sadly we moved. With my old vet if you came in within a couple weeks of seeing him and had the same problem he would normally only charge you half of what the original exam fee was since you are coming in for the same issue. Esp. when all the vet would be able to do is just look at the dog not run any tests and just give a guess that maybe this medicine will work this time. That is all North Shore was going to be able to do, and they wanted to charge the same price and not give any discount at all! I then asked to speak to the office manager. All she was worried about was getting the dog another puppy shot. Which we had done already she did not know that though. Nice she kept changing the subject when the real matter was the antibiotics that were not working. Why would I pay you yet another $40 for an exam that he does not need and an additional $20-$30 for a shot I could go to my old vet and get for $15! She then went on to ask who was going to give the rabies shot when it would be needed? I told her there is a place that I can go to that will neuter my dog for $60 and give a free rabies shot with the neuter. Better than what you charge $300 and $40 for yet another exam we will not need and $20-30 for a rabies shot I can get for free from another licensed vet. hmmm $360 or $60 what would you pick? I found it really amazing she kept talking about what I needed in the future than what was going on now with the dog. She would not answer my questions as to how they charge people for the same price for the same exam a week later. First person I spoke to told me I should expect to be charged $700-$800 the first year of owning a puppy! That is not true unless you have a sick puppy. I am traveling back to my old vet. I will make a day of it. In the end extra gas money, his exam, antibiotics and tests are still cheaper than going to North Shore! Plus I will see actual results! Now that is really sad on North Shores part! So much for finding a vet near me! Read Less
