North Shore Veterinary Hospital
A Culture Of Pioneers Rethink everything. That's our mantra. As the first Fear Free Practice in Minnesota, we are proud to have attracted some of the most talented veterinary professionals in the region. And we share a common belief in innovation. This culture animates everything we do. We have designed a new kind of experience for pet owners.

One where your pet's emotions are in the center of everything - which improves patient care. One where we work to understand the life you share with your pet - and guide you to an even better relationship. And one where we imagine the future of what a real partner in veterinary care can be. We do it because you love your pet so deeply.
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.
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. Welcoming a new pet into your home is a great joy.
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.
Beginning of Life Care Welcoming a new pet into your home is a great joy. At North Shore Veterinary Hospital, we want to be active participants in your pet's life by becoming a knowledgeable resource for you as you explore and strengthen your connection. During each visit, we'll help you create a powerful, healthy bond with your animal through education, wellness, and training.

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

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 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

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!
