Specialists:
For difficult cases or procedures that we do not perform at our hospital, we have a network of facilities and specialists to manage your pet's health care needs.
Early morning drop-off:
Northgate Animal Hospital is one of the few veterinary facilities that open at 7:00 am Monday through Friday. For convenience, pets that require medical or surgical care can be dropped off at Northgate on your way to work and picked up on your way home.
Laser Surgery:
Northgate Animal Hospital uses a laser for many surgical procedures including spays, neuters and de-claws. Laser surgery markedly decreases pain, swelling and bleeding resulting in a quicker recovery time. The laser also allows us to do surgical procedures that before were impossible because of excessive bleeding.

Common Poisons in Dogs and Cats
1. Xylitol is a sweetener used in some candies and chewing gum. If a dog ingests Xylitol, in as few as 30 minutes, the dog’s blood sugar can drop quickly, resulting in seizures and possible death. Xylitol can also cause liver damage in dogs. Please check the sweetener used in your gum of choice before having it around your dog.
2. Tylenol is poisonous to cats. Never give Tylenol to a cat. It affects the blood’s ability to carry oxygen.
3. Grapes and raisins are poisonous to dogs. They can cause kidney failure if ingested in large amounts. Ingestion of a grape or a couple of raisins is probably not going to cause a problem.
4. Dark chocolate can be toxic to dogs and cats. A piece or two of milk chocolate is usually not a problem.
5. Aspirin can be toxic to cats! Never give your cat aspirin unless you contact a veterinarian and inquire about the appropriate dosage.
6. Antifreeze containing ethylene glycol, if ingested by a dog or cat, can cause irreversible kidney damage. Check your vehicle for antifreeze leaks.
7. Ingestion of rat or mouse poison (D-Con) can cause fatal internal bleeding in dogs and cats.
