How to Save on Veterinary Costs at North Road Veterinary Wellness Clinic

Preventive care

I had to come in as an emergency situation. I have a Canaan dog that had been sihad been having a seizure for over hours! I took her in and Dr. Mary knew exactly what was wrong and Rubee is now living a much better life. She still has small sizures once in great while. We've been taking our animals to her since she came out here. So much compassion from everyone who works there. If you want a vet that will treat your fur babies the way you would then you want Dr. Mary in Nikiski.❤️🐕

They are friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. They helped my cat on our first visit and then had to assist multiple times in getting some x-rays sent out to another vet. Will definitely use them again.

Everyone one at the clinic deserves MORE than 5 stars. Wonderful, caring people who care and listen and provide the care that our pets and we need when they are ill. Thank you for being here for our community.

I agree with previous poster’s reviews. While the Dr herself deserves all 5 stars, however, the billing practices do not. I was allowed to drop off my senior girl and be worked in that day and I am grateful for that. I was charged the emergency walk in rate, and that’s ok because the Dr is busy and squeezing in a client on a booked schedule for a life threatening emergency is understandable, but I was also charged a consultation fee on top of the other charges because I wanted to discuss the prognosis. For me, that doesn’t get the 5 stars. Discussing my dog’s care should be part of my vet visit charge, not an extra consultation fee that is nearly the cost of emergency rate. Despite my opinion, I still recommend her. She is knowledgeable and will seek recommendations from her colleagues if needed.

Dr.Mary took wonderful care of our OZZIE. She is quite a handful and scared of other people, but my S.O who brought her out said that she did great. Thank you North Road And a Big thank you to Cat tree and barkery.
