  • "I had went to another vet and was told my dog was fine they had took x-rays of his heart and kept him all day to see what was wrong with him. I didnt worry because was told he was fine well he got worse took him to Northern Veterinary and within 5 minutes she knew he had congestive heart failure. I think their very knowledgeable and didn't make us wait around. Everybody was very nice and very reasonable I was afraid of the cost but was shocked with how reasonable it was. So thank you Northern Veterinary for helping me!!"
