At that time, it was situated on Main Street in downtown Owosso. He moved the clinic to its current location on M-52 in 1948.

Services
Northside Animal Hospital is a full service hospital offering comprehensive care for your pet. Pets should not suffer needlessly. In addition to being uncomfortable, pets in pain take longer to heal. We take active steps to prevent, recognize and reduce pain and discomfort at every stage of care. Our dentistry procedures include tooth scaling, tooth polishing, dental charting, and oral examination, including periodontal evaluation. Treatment also includes anesthetic monitoring, pain management, and post-operative antibiotics.
To ensure that every pet receives the attention that they deserve, we see pets during scheduled appointments. Nonetheless, if you have an emergency during office hours we will be able to provide emergency medical care for your pet. It helps us prepare for your pet if you call ahead. If your pet experiences a medical emergency after hours, we recommend three emergency hospitals where your pet can receive emergency medical care.
For easier prescription refills - call ahead and we can have everything ready for you. For your convenience, we maintain a full pharmacy. Our prices are similar to internet retailers or big box stores. Plus, we offer something they never will, which is priceless: our dedication to you and your pet.
This all-in-one source page is where published advice from Northside Animal Hopsital is located on pet health, products, pet care, and 'ask the vet' letters. I heard that the majority of dogs have dental disease by the time they're three-years-old. Is it really that common? And like in humans, periodontal disease is a progressive infection that can lead to painful conditions for dogs and cats, which may require difficult and costly treatments down the road.Whenever possible, preventing disease is preferable to treating it and in the case of periodontitis, this is especially true.

We love Northside! Dr. Skarich and all the staff take the care of our furry family members seriously! We have had all kinds of appointments, from annual well visits, vaccines and our share of emergencies over the years, and we have always been treated with such warmth, caring and expertise. I especially appreciate the time they take to explain our options, and also the costs. We are a forever family with Northside!

I felt so welcomed into the clinic by the staff when my dog was sick and we needed an emergency appointment. The office is always so clean and the lobby is comfortable while we waited. It was so nice they had the capability to do X-rays and lab work quickly. Doctor Skarich was very understanding and patient in spending time talking with me about test results, treatment options, costs and what would be required for the various options.

He was very knowledgeable and supportive of whatever we decided would be the right path. I am so thankful of the care provided to me and my dog. Through it all she is happy to go to the vet office and so happy to see the doc and staff - which made me confident that they treated her well too.

, I really liked Dr hook, but doc Nick isn't in short supply of customers, but it's so fake now there, my dog died after seeing this guy for simple vacs and I am still taking it hard, that dog was my only family, after all that I tried to remain loyal, only to be kicked out

Wow, I read a review that is similar to my experience, it read one of their longtime patient was sick and they wouldn't euthanize the pet until 10days went by, People do you want that to happen to your child in a sense? I brought a 10 year old bulldog in here for regular vaccines and they told me she was a bit aggressive towards other dogs, of course she was, she had a pup at home, but after that vaccination she never ate again, but I took her again after a day or two and doc himself said "don't worry we will figure it out" when they said come pick her up, they said we don't know what is wrong, that'll be 467$ I was telling a lady in the waiting room one day my experience and she must have told them I was badmouthing, so doc sent me a cowardly letter, we can no longer care for your animals.

It feels like if you ain't easy then you're gone. This is a place where prissy pets go and here lies, but they don't know, the few that speak back are kicked out, just remember doc, you are just a person to, and bad deeds won't always go unpunished

I took my 2 Rats in for check ups. They were both pregnant and Dr. was very kind. Staff was great and answered all my questions.

About 10 years ago our lab got hit by a car. We thought we were losing a part of our family. We brought her to this clinic and Dr and team worked miracles. They saved her and she is still here with us I went in for an apt for a new doggo today that we took in and just got reminded at how great this Dr and his team is. So much care, love and hard work goes into this clinic. You can tell they truly care and know what they are doing.

Dr. Skarich seems to really love animals. We drive from Lansing because I am too afraid to give anyone else a try and have had such good experiences here. He even saw my son's bunny! My large lab-mix dog and my cats all get great care.
