How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Northside Animal Hospital
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.
Compare prescription pricing
Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.
Consider pet insurance

Dr. Salemi and his staff are gentle, patient and very thorough with my dog Kodak. I’m always informed about the best ways to care for him and keep him healthy. Everyone is also great with handling him when he gets agitated.

I've been meaning to write this review since my first time I visited Northside Animal Hospital. This has been such a delight and relief to have an amazing caring Dr and all his associates. Dr. Salemi is an absolute sweetheart. He takes such good care of my little Frankie a.k.a "peanut". I had her spayed her a year ago. I was beyond nervous between the surgery and her being my first dog. I had no idea what to expect. She did great and when I was freaking out because I was worried about her, Dr. Salemi let me call anytime to reassure me this was all normal and part of her healing process! You can feel his warmth, kindness, and how much he cares about your fur baby as well as you. Even wishing me happy mother's day when I saw him last. Mr. Shawn who always answers your calls is a dream come true! He will stay on the phone with me as long as I need. Never rush me off. Answer every question I can possibly think of. He is also kind and patient. He has a great knowledge of animals as well. I can't say enough about him as well. Lastly ever woman that works alongside Dr. Salemi are also incredible. They hold my frankie as if she was theirs. They soothe her when she is getting a shot. Hug her. Pet her. Make me feel calm and reassured she is in the best hands I could find for her. Frankie is really my sisters dog. She had gotten her and then passed away a year later from Cancer. Before she passed away she asked me to take Frankie. I said yes instantly. It's been my last connection to my sister. She was my everything and I miss her everyday. Seeing Frankie brings me joy on the worst days and makes me feel my sister is still with me. I say this little story to share how much it means to have Dr. Salemi and his group take care of my Frankie. I am very attached to her and love her with all my heart. So when I say they are beyond great, Please give them a try. I promise you won't regret it. Especially if you are absolutely in love with your fur babies as I am. If you are reading this Dr. Salemi and associates, Thank you for always caring for us :). See you soon!

Dr. Salemi is an amazing doctor! Caring, kind, compassionate and understanding. He took such great care of my beloved cat, and in the end of her life as well. He is a very trustworthy doctor and I wouldn’t ever consider going anywhere else!

Best place on the entire island. I don't trust anyone with my pets the way I trust these people. They've taken care of 4 of my rabbits and my 2 dogs over the past 7 years and the staff is always kind professional friendly and patient and caring. I appreciate them so much and I wouldn't recommend people go anywhere else trust is very important. They don't overcharge for anything and they do a thorough job. They are truly amazing people and I love them and my pets have been brought back to me falling asleep in their arms for being so calm and loved. I am more grateful to Dr. Salemi and the entire staff than I could ever be.

Expert care with kindness and compassion for animals and their pawrents is a hallmark of Dr. Salemi, Shawn, and the assistants at Northside Animal Hospital. Dr. Salemi inspires confidence, has a big heart, and everyone is friendly as they professionally render care. Great communication. Visits are by appointment which is respectful of their patient’s time and there is a parking lot with ample parking. Dr. Salemi cares for our scaredy-cat who is a BIG boy now a patient of 6 years. Yes, I would recommend a friend to Northside Animal Hospital. Love them.
