North Shore Veterinary Hospital We see a different way to build a veterinary hospital. One with an audacious idea. Reimagining Care Veterinary medicine must begin with empathy. It must begin with understanding what your pet means to you, understanding the relationship you share, and understanding how we can best make a difference in your life. Because everything flows from that.

And every single thing we do is about making a difference in the life you share with the pet you love so much. We listen to you. We help you. We guide you. Here, we live to change lives.
Services
We are a passionate team of animal lovers who just happen to be exceptionally talented veterinary professionals. We understand what your dog or cat means to you. And we are reimagining a better future for you two to share, together. Now, meet the team at your side. Dr. Hargrove was raised in Colorado, initially on a dairy farm, but then he grew up as a city kid surrounded by animals.
Here in Duluth, and across the country, animal emergency hospitals are being overwhelmed with demand. Locally, current wait times can range from three to five hours and in some circumstances, the ER may become unavailable for care during certain periods. In order to assure the ER remains available for serious emergencies, we all have to work together to reconsider the role the ER plays in the care of our animal companions. There are many conditions that can be worrisome for our pets to experience (diarrhea, ear/skin infections, limping, etc.).
From parasite prevention to nutritional counseling to general wellness programs, our veterinary staff provides the best options to keep your pet healthy. In Duluth, we are well known for providing convenient, high-quality, comprehensive health care to thoroughly support your pet's health. From digital x-rays and ultrasound to advanced anesthetic monitoring and a comprehensive in-house lab, we have the diagnostic tools needed to provide the best treatment possible.We also have well-trained staff to bridge the gap between technology and compassionate care.
At North Shore Veterinary Hospital, our goal is to offer the best level of care possible for your animal companion. In most cases, this can be accomplished with our doctors in our hospital. However, in some cases, referral to a veterinary specialist or other veterinary professional may be the best option.

Had been going to a different vet, but when we had an emergency they got us in fast and gave out pets amazing loving care. Cost a bit more than other places but well worth it.

Thank you for taking such incredible care of our sweet dog Mari and for making her EoL (End of Life) process as peaceful as it could possibly be. We said goodbye to her (and cried a lot) as she drifted off to sleep one last time. The care you provided her was exemplary and we are forever grateful you were her caretakers through and to the end.

My senior pup has been in several times over the last few months. After leaving today, my boyfriend asked me "how is everyone working there so nice?" That's really spot on. We've seen three of the veterinarians and I've really liked them all. The techs and administration staff are great. Everyone is super kind to my dog and me, very knowledgeable, clear with their diagnosis and instructions, and put me and my dog at ease.

I love that they send out an after visit summary with all the info they talked about and medications etc. The prices always seem very reasonable and fair and I've never felt like I was being guilted into doing an unnecessary gamut of testing/imaging. I've recommended this clinic to friends who have asked and several of my friends already take their animals here.

We absolutely love this vet office. They've seen our cats and dog a few times now. Their care is compassionate, thorough but efficient, and well priced-bonus is the super detailed email we always get after appointments! Thank you so much!

Very kind, organized and treated my doggie with great care for his hotspots. It was a no contact visit due to covid safety concerns, and everyone communicated really well over phone throughout the process. They even found some teeth issues and sent recommendations for diet since my dog is overweight, all things I didn't specifically bring him in for. We just moved here and they were the nearest place to get him seen asap, and I'm so happy with them that we'll be using them from now on for both our dog's primary care.

Dr. Kay is amazing! My cat Sophie is terrified to go to the vet and she is always so patient and kind to me and Sophie. She knows how much I love my cat and she always offers solutions. I am so thankful to have her.

I have gone to North Shore Vet for all of my pets for years now. The staff there has always been so kind and compassionate. They do a fantastic job with making sure my pets and myself are welcome. When I've had serious issues with my animals, they've always been able to schedule me within a few hours. During the appointments they're communicative in what is happening and what the next steps are.

During regular checkups, they're great at keeping both my dogs and cats calm and distracted with treats or canned cheese. When one of my dogs passed away several years ago they sent a card. It wasn't much but it still meant a lot.

I highly recommend North Shore Vet! Last summer I adopted a 5 month old Shepherd mix rescue with a torn and infected spay site. The veterinary staff at North Shore conducted a repair surgery and provided exceptional care to get her to full health. Over the last year, North Shore has supported us in many of her health needs including vaccinations, anxiety reduction, and digestive issues.

The staff is professional, caring, and knowledgeable. As a new pet owner, they've been resourceful and patient with my questions. The office also strives to be fear-free by providing pre-appointment instructions and ensuring a calm presence in the space. This has been crucial as my dog is anxious and reactive. North Shore has responded responsibly to the increased stressors and demands of the pandemic by implementing safety protocols, providing exceptional service, and directing owners to additional resources. I'm very grateful for their services and support.

I've dealt with a number of veterinarians in my lifetime, including my experience as a breeder as well as the money locations I chose to live in around the country. Dr H is awesome. the whole team is fantastic: thorough people with integrity and empathy and personable professionalism. I'm so thrilled that we found them. give them a try it's the only way you'll know how much better it is.just makes everything better when the vet can come to you

North shore isn't my normal vet, but we had an emergency and they were able to take us in immediately. Dr Lisa and the staff did an excellent job taking care of my dog Trouble and made sure I felt informed about the procedure and post-op care. The pricing seemed pretty standard, but most importantly, my dog received great care and absolutely loved the folks working there - she didn't want to leave!
