Northwood Animal Hospital
We all love our furry friends, but no one loves the moment when your pup or kitty starts feeling under the weather. While we hate to see our pets sick or injured, we’re thankful that when it does happen, we have stellar veterinarians in High Point to take them to. Northwood Animal Hospital serves our pets well, making sure all their medical needs are tended to. And they don’t just provide medical care – they even provide our pooches with a dog park.
