NorthStar VETS
Specialized Care for Companion Animals

Pet parents and referring veterinarians are aware of the criticality of having access to advanced veterinary services around the clock. When a medical emergency befalls our furry friends, it can be overwhelming and emotionally draining to navigate the healthcare system, especially if the situation requires specialized care or attention outside business hours.

This brings specialty veterinary hospitals like NorthStar VETS to the spotlight.

NorthStar VETS takes pride in its state-of-the-art facilities and specialized veterinary emergency services offered 24/7 by board-certified veterinarians and highly experienced staff to ensure the best possible outcome for pets. Dedicated to providing compassionate and comprehensive care for companion animals, whether cats, dogs, pocket pets, reptiles, or birds, the team leverages cutting-edge technology and medicine to deliver outstanding service.

Having access to critical veterinary care is one of the primary challenges pet owners face, as most general practitioners are not equipped to handle complex medical conditions, which can be worrisome for pet parents. In order to address this issue, NorthStar VETS offers a wide range of specialty services, including surgery, oncology, cardiology, and neurology.

The organization stands out when it comes to providing seamless access to care even during critical situations, which was demonstrated during the pandemic when the team continued to provide services around the clock, ensuring pets receive prompt and effective treatment.

Daniel Stobie, CEO of NorthStar VETS, says, “Veterinarians are busier than ever, and the problem is now compounded by staff shortage due to the pandemic. Fortunately, we have been able to maintain uninterrupted operations.”

NorthStar VETS also offers convenient online services, such as an online pharmacy and chat support, which provide pet owners with easy access to prescription medications and expert advice from veterinary professionals.

Veterinary care can be expensive, and many pet owners struggle to afford the cost of treatment, which can be especially challenging for families with limited financial resources or pets with chronic medical conditions that require ongoing care. NorthStar VETS addresses this issue by offering clients access to a range of pet insurance companies and flexible payment options.

In an instance, NorthStar VETS was instrumental in helping a pet parent who came in with their dog with a congenital urinary tract problem leading to continuous urine leakage. Despite the procedure’s complexity, the surgeons successfully resolved the issue using minimally invasive techniques, facilitating quick recovery from urinary incontinence so the pet can live an active and healthy life.

The team also provides comprehensive support to pet owners throughout the treatment process. Client care specialists are available to answer questions, provide updates, and support pet owners during difficult times. NorthStar VETS also offers educational resources by hosting social networking events in-person and virtual to keep veterinarians and their staff abreast of the latest developments in the veterinary care space. As part of its extensive educational services, it has launched internships and residency programs for the next generation of veterinarians. Recently, it has also added dialysis and extracorporeal therapy to its offerings.

The NorthStar VETS team understands and promotes the human-animal bond, and they do everything in their power to give pets and their owners as much time together as possible. By providing topquality veterinary care, it is helping improve the quality of life for pets and their owners alike.
