Clinic Overview

Northlands Veterinary Hospital is a veterinary hospital (corporate/independent ownership not stated) that appears set up for both routine consults and more involved cases, with multiple vets and nurses named in recent client accounts and the ability to keep pets in for monitoring. Recent reviews describe weekend care where a senior diabetic dog was admitted for observation and medication with regular updates, and diagnostics such as blood analysis for a cat before discharge with appropriate medicine. Owners also mention practical support beyond treatment, including a follow-up phone call the day after an urgent visit and nurse-led “confidence sessions” aimed at helping nervous dogs cope with vet handling. A separate cat area and “smart” newer premises are also mentioned.

Services

  • Inpatient monitoring/admission for unwell pets (e.g., senior diabetic dog kept in for monitoring and medication over a weekend, with updates before discharge).
  • Diagnostic workups including blood analysis (cat seen, tests discussed, then discharged with medication).
  • Medical management for chronic conditions (diabetes mentioned; long-term medication planning discussed).
  • Emergency/urgent presentations described in reviews (late Saturday visit; weekend care; cat brought in after being hit by a car).
  • Surgical/serious condition management referenced by owners (pyometra case mentioned, alongside a later rare condition).
  • Behaviour/handling support: nurse-led “confidence sessions” for nervous dogs, reported to improve the dog’s stress levels during an urgent exam.
  • Veterinary Nurse Training facility (explicitly stated in the clinic data).
  • Cat-specific waiting/consult area (a “cat area” is mentioned by an owner).

People

  • Emily (veterinarian): Seen for a senior diabetic dog with vomiting; owner describes a thorough exam, the decision to admit for monitoring/medication, and regular updates before discharge improved.
  • Liam (veterinarian): Mentioned for a cat consult involving “thorough checks” and blood analysis; reviewer notes clear explanations and discharge with appropriate medicine.
  • Laura (veterinarian): Credited with calmly examining and diagnosing a nervous collie during a late Saturday visit; owner specifically values a follow-up phone call the next day.
  • Sarah (nurse): Runs “confidence sessions” for nervous dogs; owner reports these sessions helped the dog remain unstressed when later brought in urgently.
  • Freddie (veterinarian): Described as gentle enough that a dog “didn’t seem to bother” during the visit.
