Preventive care

Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.

I absolutely love how Dr Ellis takes care of my dogs in such a professional compassionate way. I feel she is one of the best.

I am extremely happy with the care my animals (4 of them) are provided at Animal Care Clinic North. I feel very comfortable with and have complete trust in all of the doctors and the staff. I am particularly thankful for Lexy, Vet Tech, who has such a wonderful relationship with my dog and trims his nails with no drama or fuss. Instead of dreading his monthly nail trim, Ben enjoys his visit with Lexy, which is a huge relief for me. Thank you!!

I have been bringing my babies here for years. Dr Kuk is absolutely amazing and truly cares about our pets. She is kind and listens to all our concerns. Lexy is also an amazing vet tech and my babies love having her care for them. I completely trust them when it comes to the care and wellbeing of my pets. I recommend them to everyone I know.

I have been taking our family animals to this institution for nearly 40 years. I’ve had every animal from horses, birds, dogs, cats, rabbits etc.. I’ve always had excellent veterinary care for all our family pets. We consider them family. Years ago, this place was the best place around! However now, I can honestly say that this animal care clinic is nothing like the amazing clinic it was before. It has been in decline for several years and now It is SLOW, CONDESCENDING, UNREASONABLY EXPENSIVE, UNORGANIZED/CONFUSED. If you are looking to pay top dollar for the lowest level of basic service. This is your place. Personally, I’ve asked EVERYONE in our entire family (extended) to avoid this place from now on. There are much better PROFESSIONAL institutions in our community that are more people and pet friendly.

I truly believe that Dr. Herb and Dr. Ellis love my dog. He is my angel, but I am aware he is high maintenance and can be problematic. Dr. Herb and Dr. Ellis have treated every concern my dog has had with such care and dignity, and have made me and my dog very comfortable. They saved my dog's life last Christmas when he became very ill. I couldn't imagine going anywhere else for my dog's treatment. Thank you so much Dr. Herb and Dr. Ellis and the entire staff for my dog's good health and wellness.
