This place will treat you right. They offer excellent care for dogs, cats, and my bird, as well as small animals. I've heard fantastic things about their handling of porcupine encounters, and they expertly unhooked those fish hooks that caught the wrong things!

Well my poor little Toby Tangled with a porcupine and he didn't win I tell you what I called all the vets in the area One of them who has a emergency room said they couldn't take them because they only have one doctor The other one was having emergency of their own So my last resort was on the recommendation of another vet and I called North country I tell you what from the very beginning I had an exceptional experience The lady at the front desk was very sweet and she got me in right away at 2:30 When she checked me and she was just very personable alone I felt right at home right away And of course the vet wow Just Excellent excellent excellent I knew right away that my dog was in good hands She didn't waste my dog off she Had me present when she gave him the sedation I was there when she pulled the quills she had her very kind assistant with her She explained everything And let's just excellent I really I really liked her a lot Even though it was an hour drive I would make it again just to see her Hands down competent professional And very personable with the dogs My dog is a little reactive And can be hard to handle you know if you don't know him But her and her assistant was very patient they didn't freak out and I appreciated that

Worst vet I have ever seen money hungry doesnt care about your pet. Ripped me off for over couple thousand with no results. Went to another vet diagnosed my dog few hundred bucks and on our way to recovering for something she should have caught in x rays. Billed me for for things she never even did. She's clueless and a rip off

Was in town grouse hunting and the dogs found a porcupine. They stayed after hours to help get the quills out. Very empathetic with my situation and very helpful. They were upfront with everything that needed to be done and what to expect. They got us out qucker than expected, and the dogs were in the woods the next day. Very nice people working there. I appreciate their help.

My dog got quilled by a porcupine while on vacation up north and I had to rush my poor dog in. The Dr. Ludwig made time in her full schedule to quickly sedate him and remove the quills. They were very accommodating and understanding. The team called the morning after to check in. Thank you Dr. L and team!!!

While Dr. Ludwig had Keisha upside down, doing an ultrasound on her belly area...she said that IF we wanted her to check in another particular area of her belly it would cost MORE money and did we want her to proceed. I can't tell you how outraged we we're. My dog was so ill. They never could figure out what was wrong with her and we eventually due to the progression of what ever it was she had...she was put to sleep. We we're heartbroken. That first day cost $1,000 and there we're no answers. We did spend more but we wanted answers. No help for our beloved dog. We would have spent more if they could treat her. Dr. Ludwig is all about the money and this should tell you all. Another time, prior, we had brought Huxley in - her recommendation. When we arrived she asked me why we we're there. I just couldn't stand the horrid treatment of our dogs. You may get good treatment or you may not...do you want to take the chance? That is entirely up to you.

Dr. Ludwig is the worst, we took our cat in for a fever and she didn't do a full exam, she also gave us wrong medicine that was for dogs. DO NOT even go here, she is bad! 7 years ago she also held eye medicine for our bird and for an appointment, she said we had to pay 65 dollars even though it was our first visit even though the first visit is free, and also this place is also somewhat overpriced. Never going here ever again.

North Country is one of the best vets I have used in over a half-century of sharing my life with dogs. I want the same level of care for our animals as I do for our kids-the best. NCVC provides that. My Lab is there as I type, getting some dental work done. I know it will be done well, and limited to what is needed. Strongly recommend them.

Well my poor little Toby Tangled with a porcupine and he didn't win
I tell you what I called all the vets in the area
One of them who has a emergency room said they couldn't take them because they only have one doctor
The other one was having emergency of their own
So my last resort was on the recommendation of another vet and I called North country
I tell you what from the very beginning
I had an exceptional experience
The lady at the front desk was very sweet and she got me in right away at 2:30
When she checked me and she was just very personable alone I felt right at home right away
And of course the vet wow
Just Excellent excellent excellent
I knew right away that my dog was in good hands
She didn't waste my dog off she
Had me present when she gave him the sedation I was there when she pulled the quills she had her very kind assistant with her
She explained everything
And let's just excellent I really I really liked her a lot
Even though it was an hour drive I would make it again just to see her
Hands down competent professional
And very personable with the dogs
My dog is a little reactive
And can be hard to handle you know if you don't know him
But her and her assistant was very patient they didn't freak out and I appreciated that
