Welcome to Northside Veterinary Clinic.  We have been providing caring and personalized service to you and your pets since 1949.  We offer high quality and up to date surgical, medical, dental and preventative care for dogs and cats.

 

Our practice philosophy is that quality health care begins with excellent client communication.  We take the time to discuss in detail your pet's health and to answer all questions that you may have.  In recent times the health care community has lost the "personal touch", which is so highly valued by our patients and clients.  At Northside we strive to combine this personal touch with compassionate and high quality veterinary services to provide the very best health care for your pet.

 

We invite you to browse through our reference encyclopedia of animal healthcare topics, ranging from behavior and preventive care to common and not-so-common diseases. We welcome your comments and suggestions, so let us know what you think of our Web site during your next visit to our clinic.
