Had an appointment to have my lab put down and cremated, called a few hours before my appointment to confirm the time as my older dog doesn't travel well. They didn't have any information in the computer regarding the appointment, but would be happy to make room for us if we Paid the emergency visit fee. This place will find every way possible to drain as much money out of your pocket as possible. Tried to get one last emergency fee out of me for a pet that would no longer be a patient.

I took my senior cat in today and I was very distressed and not knowing what to do, the staff was very empathetic, especially the veterinarian. We left the clinic and we have a happy ending that i didn’t know if was possible at that point. Thank you for taking care of my beloved kitty! ?

While saying good morning to Athena I noticed a huge welt/mass under her eye that wasn’t there before we went to bed.
Fearing it was an allergic reaction or something in her eye, she needed urgent care. My normal vet was short staffed and couldn’t get her in so I went to VCA Northpointe Animal Hospital.
They were so attentive, caring, and friendly. Despite having an hour half- two hour wait, they provide triage care and gave us an exam room to wait in so that we weren’t stuck in my car or in the waiting room with a bunch of other pets. Our bill was under $250- which included a week supply of medicine!!
Athena can be anxious when getting medical care, especially if I can’t be present, but the staff were obviously great and wholesome because Athena did just fine when they took her back to see the doctor without me, and all the staff loved her.
Athena is 140lbs, so the fact that they could handle her so well and independently shows their level of skill set.
She came out tail wagging and after an exam the the vet was luckily able to determine that there was nothing lodged in her eye and that she wouldn’t require additional treatment or tests.

I feel so appreciative of the team there. And grateful that for emergency care, the bill was less than my vet would have been for normal care. Highly highly recommend!!

I've been using VCA for many years now and have always been happy up until my appointment today. My dog has to be given drugs just to get her into the Vet so it's not a easy task. Make appointment for the biting and itching of feet made it clear in the office of her itching yet once we were home they never gave her the shot. Was able to be told she needs surgery for breast lumps and they'll email me price estimates, she's 11lbs. overweight, yet never was given the shot so she doesn't keep biting on her feet and legs. Was told there was a miscommunication but when it comes to your pets safety and welfare they should be no miscommunication at all. I will be finding a new Vet where there is better communication

I hate this place, but I'm also grateful for what they've done, or at least tried to do. It just hurts to lose pets without notice. I took my 3 year old doberman in for a cough/sneeze and 15 min later they came and got me from waiting room and took me back to him. He was already on life support, I guess he had a bad heart and with the fluid in his lungs, they couldn't help him. Unless I'd raised an additional $6000. (I was already in about $1400 in the first half hour) Even with $6000 more, she said he wouldn't stand a good chance. So I left after watching them help him go peacefully. And I've tried to blame her ever since, but it wasn't her fault. When I can manage to face owning another dog, I'll go back. They are the best equipped to care for animals, unless you drive to Loomis Basin.

This is the first Veterinary that I've taken my dogs to, where they aren't nervous or anxious. I really appreciate how the vets interact with them to make them feel comfortable. The fact that they can get after hours emergency care is also a plus. My latest addition will be meeting them soon.

Very disappointed, I brought in my pup for an emergency case and they told me they could not examine him properly because of the pain he was in. In order to do what's needed I would have to pay about $800 JUST to see his injury fully. No temporary pain relief or anything besides needing to pay $250 for medication and to be "seen" which really is misleading when they did NOTHING!!!! how can you care about animals for an emergency when you don't treat it as an emergency? The past reviews even the past year ones were right they really do not care about our animals just our money.
