When I first adopted my dog 14 years ago, our vet at the time in Michigan set a very high bar. I…read morepretty much credit her with single-handedly saving my dog over the course of two years. We no longer live in that state and I have honestly never found a vet as good as she was. We have just started seeing Dr. Williamson, but after three visits, I already know that she's the best vet we've found since then. She may even be on the same level as our vet in Michigan. What sets Dr. Williamson apart -- and what reminds me of our old vet in Michigan -- is that she really cares. She never rushes an appointment. She always takes the amount of time that it takes, period. She answers all of my questions, explains things thoroughly and gives us good suggestions that are both smart and practical (because hey as much as we love our dogs, we aren't rich!). She also thinks ahead -- giving refills on meds so you don't have to bring your dog back in just to get a prescription and offering some good common sense advice in a calm, reassuring manner that makes me feel at ease. I also love that she and her staff are really thinking about how to make the vet a less terrifying place for animals, since our dogs are afraid of everything. They are currently testing "no stress" environments, avoiding using the overhead fluorescent light in favor of softer in-room lighting and even playing relaxing music. I know some people will laugh at that, but our dogs find the vet to be a really stressful experience (since bad or painful things usually happen there), and I at least really appreciate a vet that thinks about things from the dog's point of view. While the jury is still out on whether Dr. Williamson is as good as our Michigan vet, I can tell you that she is for sure our new regular vet. Best we've found in the Twin Cities. Don't let the location in a strip mall fool you -- this is an A+ vet clinic, and you should take your pets there.

I have German Shepherd dogs and they didn't seem comfortable or able to properly give them the care they needed. They acted nervous and afraid to give them the care they needed and therefore my GSD didn't get the care he needed from this office. I brought my dog to Rockford Road Animal Hospital and it was a completely different experience. The vet techs and veterinarians there understood how to deal with this breed and were able to treat him and give him the care he needed. Whereas at Northwest Animal Hospital they "tried" treating him and were not able to and sent us away causing us to spend more money on additional appointments which resulted in my dog getting a delayed medical diagnosis he needed. I wouldn't recommend Northwest Animal Hospital for breeds of dogs that can be a bit more challenging. It's all about the approach and it was a day and night experience with Rockford Road Animal Hospital compared to them. I will continue bringing my cats there but I won't be bringing my dogs there again.

In picking up meds for our elderly cat, I noticed a "dispensing fee", even though they already mark up the meds by over 100% from what I pay on Chewy. When I asked about it, Dr. Melco said he was being transparent, but never told me about the fee. I noticed it when I received the receipt AFTER I paid. It looks really disingenuous when the vet says he is being transparent about a fee he did not tell me I was being charged. This is not an ethical business practice and we will be going elsewhere for our vet care from now on.

The vet wanted to run 3 different tests for conjunctivitis, and I was able to talk her down to 2 tests. The vet tech told me a rabies vaccination had to be given to my indoor cat as it was a state law. I told her I didn't want my cat getting a vaccination and asked her if it really was a state law and she said yes. I looked it up when I got home and it isn't a state law. When I called back and asked about being told something that wasn't true, it was explained to me that it is a policy in Maple Grove for all pets to be up to date on their rabies vaccination so they enforce that policy no matter where the owner lives since their clinic is located in Maple Grove. She said someone should have told me that when I called to make the appointment - but no one did. They also prescribed an eye ointment/medication that the 3 closest pharmacies to me did not carry, but one of them could order for $260. It took about 2 hours for North Paws to adjust the prescription to the medication the pharmacist recommended and to call it into the pharmacy where I was waiting so I could pick up (I was waiting in the parking lot the whole time and unable to be home to ensure my cat wasn't having an adverse side effect to the unwanted rabies vaccine). If you decide to take your pet here, I would plan to attempt to determine what your pet actually needs versus what they are recommending - it feels like you have to be an advocate for your pet as it appears their focus is on profit, even if that means deceiving the owner.

FANTASTIC clinic with super friendly, compassionate and knowledgeable staff…read more My husband and I moved to the area and we were referred to North Paws by a friend. Honestly, I don't think we could have found a better clinic for our family. All of the staff is super friendly, knowledgeable and compassionate. Dr. Riggs truly cares for our pets and that is a major relief. We've been to other vet clinics in the past where we were just a number, just another client. When we walk into North Paws we know that our pets will get the love and care they need and even some belly rubs and kisses.
