Our Services
Cardiology & Electrocardiography
We offer cardiology services, including echocardiography, in case the need arises to treat your pet for diseases of the cardiovascular system, which includes the heart and blood vessels.
Dental Care
Your pet’s teeth and gums should be examined at least once per year to detect early signs of periodontal disease or tooth decay. Dental disease is easy to prevent, but many pets suffer from this because teeth cleanings are often overlooked. Regular dental care can prevent pain and expensive procedures and extractions down the road.
At Northside Animal Hospital, we are fully equipped with specialized equipment, anesthesia, and medications to handle everything from teeth cleanings to complex oral cavities for canines, felines and pocket pets. Our dental services include:

Non-Invasive Diagnostics
Endoscopy
If your pet is demonstrating symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss, abdominal pain or swelling or loss of appetite we may recommend an endoscopy. The purpose of an endoscopy procedure is to explore the esophagus, stomach, small intestine and colon in order to diagnose gastrointestinal disease. If an abnormality is detected during the procedure, a biopsy sample may be collected for further analysis. If your pet is demonstrating these symptoms, call us to discuss your options.
Radiology and Ultrasound
We offer medical imaging to aid in the diagnosis of many different conditions. Radiographs and ultrasound are painless and noninvasive ways to evaluate organs and bones, allowing us to better understand what is occurring in a pet’s body. In some cases, medical imaging can detect conditions and situations that may otherwise have gone undetected for months or years. Our state-of-the-art radiology and ultrasound are conducted by our trained and compassionate staff, making it both safe and effective.
