North Scottsdale Animal Hospital

I am never one to write reviews but this is the first vet i actually have really had an amazing experience with. The team here is so nice and caring. The previous vet i took her too was very judgmental. When i told the receptionist at the old vet on the phone the breed of my dog (mini bernedoodle) she said in the most judgemental sounding voice “oh.. interesting.” I get it because she is a doodle breed and not everyone “agrees” with them yada yada but that is no way to talk to people. Not here though! The receptionist on the phone was so nice and helpful with getting us booked! Completely different experience!! love that they didn’t force certain optional vaccines on us and instead gave them as a recommendation but not in a forceful way. Previous vets i’ve gone to gave it as “no option” and would pressure me into something i didn’t want to vaccinate for etc. They also did not shame the way i feed my dog or try to make me switch her food etc. Every other vet has made me try to switch my dogs food with their prescription diets even when my pups were thriving and still currently thriving with how i feed. The doctor and vet tech (wish i remembered their names) i saw were both so kind and gentle with my puppy. I absolutely love that they gave her vaccine in the room with me rather than taking her to the back. Everything was done in the room with me, and super positively reinforced. They distracted her with peanut butter while doing exam/vaccine. She didn’t even notice she got her shot. I will be switching all 3 of my pups to this vet and will recommend this place to anyone who asks. Thank you for such an awesome experience!!

I was able to get a new patient appointment quickly and the staff was very friendly. The doctor was realistic with me about my dog’s treatment and wasn’t just trying to get money out of me which i appreciate. Very thorough exam and i feel confident with the care we were given. Excited to continue care here!

Brought cat in for emergency. Turns out she had cancer :( North Valley provided prescriptions to keep her comfortable. Said to use their recommended pharmacy so we could get the meds faster. Paid their pharmacy for overnight delivery. 4 days later I call pharmacy asking where meds are and they tell me these meds take 2 weeks to ship. Called around and a vet was able to take cat for an appointment and deliver meds right there. North Scottsdale Animal Hospitals advice delayed comfort care for my dying cat of 20 years. Which either makes them incompetent or cruel.

From the moment I picked up the phone to make a new patient appointment with Dr. Josh, I knew we were going to be happy! And sure enough, Dr. Josh & his team are wonderful. They give you the time your pet needs, did NOT try to sell me anything my Charlie didn't need. Actually, it was so refreshing to hear from a vet that "our best treatment right now, is no treatment" - let Charlie recover and not pump him full of stuff. SO fantastic! Thank you, Thank you for being awesome! Christina and Charlie
