North Avenue Animal Hospital provides a broad spectrum of diagnostic procedures through both in-house testing and the use of external laboratories.  Our facility includes a well stocked pharmacy, in-hospital surgery suite, and a closely supervised hospitalization area.  We utilize the latest technology, including anesthesia monitoring, digital x-ray, ultrasound, and electronic medical records.  In addition, we work very closely with many local, specialized practices when such referrals are required.

Since 1999 our hospital has voluntarily achieved the high standards of The American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA), qualifying us as an accredited member of AAHA.  These standards pertain to facilities, equipment, practice methods, and management.  Our goal is to practice the highest quality medicine, and we are dedicated to becoming your partner in your pet’s health care, treating your pet as we would our own.

We are excited to add an associate to our multi-doctor team to continue growing our practice and serving this diverse community! We welcome doctors with all levels of experience, ideally also with an interest in surgery.

A mentorship program is available at this practice for any new graduates.
