Early intervention prevents systemic health issues from dental disease. Our team educates owners on home care techniques to maintain oral health between visits.

Advanced diagnostic imaging capabilities include digital X-rays and ultrasound for accurate internal evaluations. These tools enable rapid diagnosis of injuries, organ abnormalities, and chronic conditions. Real-time imaging supports surgical decision-making and treatment monitoring for improved patient outcomes.

We brought our 16 year old dog in for an exam due to urine issues. Near the end of her appointment my wife asked if we could get her nails clipped. She said yes no problem and took her out back. I personally don't like doing her nail clippings because she has long quicks. The vet technician came back and said she was struggling with the nail clipping so she stopped. We got home and let her in the house. My wife noticed blood everywhere she went and was all over our cream colored area rug! I understand that the quicks can get clipped and bleeding can happen as I have had this happen myself. However

We just brought our new puppy here. The staff has all been very nice, professional and patient. I had to call for help with a prescription and they were very helpful. I didn't feel I was putting them out at all. So happy to have chosen them for our new family member.

We took our Chihuahua, Rico, in for a dental. The staff was very communicative, patient and understanding. They took excellent care of our boy and followed up after his dental. Rico recovered quickly and felt great even the day after his procedure. We are now planning to take our other dog in for a dental. We highly recommend Northwood Veterinary Hospital.

My cats and dog both see Dr. Treat and she is wonderful. She truly cares about what is best for the animals but also understands that there are budgets to work within so she gives you the pros and cons of each option she presents. My dog Josie adores going to the vet and seeing Dr. Treat and Co. My cats are... cats about it.
