Preventive care

Compare prescription pricing

I’m sure the dr is amazing but I’ll never know. I’ve tried a few times to establish care and also reached out for emergency care. ‘Not taking new clients’ is the first thing said. Today I called at 8:30 (website stated open at 8) for emergency care for my new puppy. Was cut off being told ‘first off we don’t open till 9, we only have one dr and not taking new clients’. Then hung up on. I wouldnt recommend a place at all with that type of service

We unfortunately had to put our dog to sleep. I called frantically before noon yesterday and the staff said to take our time and they would wait for us! From the time we arrived until the time we left we had excellent care from Dr. Harvey and the other two staff members! They all were very caring and compassionate!! Thank you for this good experience considering the sad time.

The people that sold me my home in Virginia highly recommended this Animal Hospital. However, I have lived here almost 2 years now, and have not been able to get my dog (she started having seizures a few months after I moved here)into see anyone one here and the only responses I have gotten is they are not taking new clients.... I was finally able to find a really good Animal Hospital ( MESABA ANIMAL HOSPITAL) that has been seeing her now. They are excellent with my dog.

Dr. Aluni Sr., I believe, was an Exceptional Veterinarian, wise beyond textbooks, we had used this Animal Hospital for several decades because of him and his knowledge and compassion for animals. I'm not sure if he is still practicing, but this clinic has a Friendly staff, knowledgeable vets, a nice area to walk your pets as well.

I have had dogs and cats as family members my entire life. As a child, my dad brought our dogs to Dr. Aluni when he operated a small veterinarian office in Aurora - outside of his practice in Virginia. As I moved on outside of my folks roof, I tried other veterinarians in the area to only, what I see now looking back, a successful yet mediocre sense of what I call good health in today's standards. I did return to the Northland Animal Hospital with Dr. Aluni around 8 years ago - 2013 , to be exact, after my hairy partner in crime, SamSam was experiencing skin irritation from God only knows. The Good Doctor, Dr. Aluni rolled up his sleeves and threw a Hail Mary and unbelievably cured SamSam of his misery! I've been bringing Sam to Dr. Aluni ever since. Around 20 years ago I returned home from a job only to find my children's dog, Fozzy, very pale in the mouth and earflaps with severe lethargy. I called NAH asap and Dr. Aluni worked him over. There happened to be a Greyhound scheduled to be euthanized the next morning, and to my wonderment, suggested that maybe he would perform a full transfusion in order to save Fozzy. Since Fozzy's prognosis was a morbid reality as well as the Greyhounds, he did the deed. Long story short, Fozzy lived through my divorce and championed through my ex-wife's move to Texas with our children - and lived another fulfilling 10 years, helping my (still good friends) ex-wife raise our kids. The staff at the NAH are WONDERFUL and very invested in their roll at NAH. I could probably go there alone, in a grumpy mood and within 10 minutes sitting in the waiting area, be fully revamped to a state of pleasantry and bliss. If anybody out there is looking for a change for their fur baby's care, I highly, HIGHLY recommend the Northland Animal Hospital. I bet SamSam's skin on it!!!!
