Services
Medical Services
Our preventative medicine program includes annual wellness exams, vaccinations, and heartworm testing tailored to pets' lifestyles and regional health threats. We perform spays, neuters, soft tissue surgeries, and orthopedic procedures using isoflurane anesthesia. Dental cleanings with ultrasonic scaling and digital x-rays ensure oral health, while in-house lab testing provides same-day results for common diagnostics.
Boarding
We offer boarding for cats, dogs under 40 lbs, and small mammals like rabbits and guinea pigs. Pets must be up-to-date on required vaccinations, including rabies and bordetella for dogs. We provide bedding and food bowls, though we recommend bringing your pet's regular food. Grooming services can be scheduled during stays with advance notice.
Grooming
Professional grooming services require pets to be vaccinated against rabies, bordetella, and other core diseases. Aggressive pets may need sedation after owner consent. Drop-off is between 7:30-8:30 AM with pickup arranged after service completion. Payment by cash, credit card, or CareCredit is due at pickup.
Laser Light Therapy
Class IV laser therapy treats arthritis, injuries, and inflammation without anesthesia or side effects. Treatments last 10-60 minutes depending on the condition, with chronic cases requiring multiple sessions. This non-invasive option often reduces reliance on NSAIDs and supports healing through improved circulation and collagen production.
Small Mammals
We provide veterinary care for gerbils, guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, rabbits, and rats. Services include wellness exams, spaying/neutering, dental care, and treatment for skin or digestive issues. New clients must complete a detailed medical history form before appointments to ensure comprehensive care for these specialized pets.

Has separate entrance and wait area for cats and dogs. Staff was friendly and was taken care of quickly.

I am a new puppy owner, and I have done tons of research on the best care for him. I confidently chose Northarlington Vet to have his 8 week appointment when we first got him, and was charged much more than what I was quoted for. There were hidden costs that were not disclosed to me. I couldn't fill prescriptions online, and when I called to express concern was dismissed. Shots and help from vet techs felt very rushed. I have changed vets and feel much more supported about my puppy's health.

The people I've encountered thus far have all been friendly and helpful. The vet has listened to any concerns I've had and has been knowledgeable in how to proceed. My pets prescriptions are all reasonably priced. So far every visit has cost me less than I nervously anticipated. No complaints.

Traumatized our puppy. When my wife left, our puppy was shivering in fear from the rushed shots she was given. Vets are supposed to be comforting to animals, not just stick them with needles when theyre obvious not calm/ready. Weve been to other vets that are in another league compared to this place. Dont bring your pets here. Absolute garbage.

Excellent service! Clinic staff is courteous and were happy with the services they provide for our dog. Also nice to have boarding services under the care of a vet!
