Welcome to Northwood Animal Hospital
Northwood Animal Hospital of Irvine has been providing quality medical and surgical care for dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, rodents, reptiles and other exotic pets since 1986. We also offer boarding and bathing. Headed by Drs. Gayle Roberts, Ora Fife, and Jennifer Pursley, the staff at Northwood prides itself on genuine, compassionate caring for our patients and their human families.
At Northwood we acknowledge that the relationship between an owner and his/her pet is always a special, unique relationship. We have three goals for every pet that is brought in:
Get the pet healthy
Keep the pet healthy with a good, cost effective wellness program
Duplicate the special relationship the owner has with the pet
Our mission is to assemble the most caring, compassionate, and competent team possible to provide the most up-to-date corrective and preventive veterinary care to each pet and old-fashioned customer service to the pet's owners at competitive prices, so that each owner and pet can have the longest, most enjoyable relationship possible.
We believe that clear and open communication with your pet's medical team is essential in providing the longest and healthiest life possible for your pet, so our doctors pride themselves on their accessibility for your questions and concerns.
*We are pleased to announce that we now offer laser therapy for your pets! Call today for more information on this exciting service, and click here to learn more!
