Services
Preventative Care
Our preventive healthcare program includes annual exams, vaccinations, and parasite screenings to prolong pets' lives while minimizing disease risks. We customize vaccination schedules and wellness plans based on species, age, breed, and lifestyle. This proactive approach helps detect hidden health issues early when they're easier to treat.
Surgery
We offer general surgical procedures with safety prioritized throughout pre-op consultations and post-op care. Our surgical capabilities include soft-tissue operations and orthopedic procedures supported by our partnership with board-certified veterinary surgeon Dr. Michelle Powers. Advanced monitoring equipment ensures patient stability during operations.
Diagnostics
Our in-house diagnostic laboratory performs blood analysis, urinalysis, and parasite identification to rapidly identify underlying health conditions. Digital X-ray technology and ultrasound imaging help visualize internal organ systems, enabling accurate diagnoses of cardiac, pulmonary, and abdominal issues.
Dentistry
We provide comprehensive dental services including oral exams, professional cleanings, and treatment for periodontal disease. Preventive dental care reduces risks of systemic bacterial infections while maintaining pets' comfort during eating. Our technicians educate owners about home dental hygiene routines.
Emergency Care
For acute injuries or sudden illnesses, our team delivers critical care during regular business hours. We stabilize patients with trauma, toxic ingestion, or severe infections while working closely with pet owners to determine appropriate treatment plans.

Hey have been nothing but great. I have showed up early a few times by mistake or by need and they always at least found me a private room to wait in and let my cat out to roam.

I've been taking my pets to Northside since the late 90's. I found everyone there to be wonderful, caring, empathic and sympathetic. I worried for a bit, when I read that they were changing ownership. Turns out, my worries were for nothing. Dr. Krogman and her team are the best. I can not imagine taking my pets anywhere else.!

I drive from Nashua to come to Northside because I know they will always take the best care of my pets! : I have never felt like they have done anything unnecessarily, and they are the most caring and compassionate vets I've ever met! I've been going there for about 16 years now and refuse to go anywhere else! You guys rock! Thank you for everything you do!
