Thank you to all of our Receptionists! They see our clients twice as much as the doctors do (when their pet is checked in, and when they are discharged). They are responsible for helping with the smooth flow of our schedule in the fast pace world of veterinary medicine. Please take time to thank our receptionist staff: Beth, Katie, Traci, and Aryana!

04/03/2024

We are closing today due to the severe weather. Our receptionists will call everyone who was scheduled today to make arrangements for new appointments.
We will still be available if you have an emergency situation.
Stay home, stay safe!

To say our small community lost an important part of our medical (and veterinary) world would be an understatement. I have known Chuck since I moved back into our area in 1993. I know we all hear the stories of how much he cared about people, and would go out of his way to help anyone. Many of us in the animal world will tell you that his dedication to making people's lives better pales in comparison to his love and commitment to the well being of animals. As part of the Morrison's Drug Store family, Chuck was always my go-to pharmacy connection when I had patients with special needs, including expensive medications. It only took one quick phone call to Chuck and he was on it! He would drop what he was doing and get what we needed asap. Most importantly, if Chuck knew any of our local pet owners were having financial concerns, he would do what it took to make it possible for them. I know Chuck made countless pet owners grateful to have a person care so much about our local pets. We have all read the statement by Gandhi "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated". Chuck Dix was one individual that lived this every day of his life. I will be forever grateful for the time I knew Chuck. He left a positive mark on our community. My wife Diane and I, along with the Staff at Northern Veterinary Associates, send our thoughts and prayers to Susan, Donna and the rest of the extended Dix family.

Negaunee Boy Scout Troop BSA 346

12/27/2023

I had the opportunity to spend time with some of the Negaunee Boy Scout Troop BSA 346. They have taken on a rescue Bearded Dragon. We had a great time discussing the importance of proper husbandry and care of reptiles. They all had excellent questions, and showed great interest in how they can make Stumpy's life happy and healthy. Great job BSA Troop 346!

It is with great pride that we follow Jessica’s new journey as a veterinary student at Michigan State’s College of Veterinay Medicine! With lots of hard work and persistence, she has joined Spartan Nation. In four years she will become the veterinarian I always knew she would be.

Jessica started with us as a high school intern. After traveling across the Pacific to U of Hawaii for her bachelor’s degree, she returned to us as an veterinary assistant/receptionist.

Jessica has always showed that “it factor” that is necessary for anyone who wants to commit to a life as a veterinarian. We all know that in four short years she will shake up the world that I have been lucky to be a part of!
GO GREEN!

To our valued clients:

We will be making some adjustments to our hours of operation as of June 1st.
Our goal is to balance a healthy staff schedule with our commitment to serving our clients in a manner that lives up to the high standards we always strive for.

At this time we will not have scheduled appointments on Saturdays or Sundays. We will gradually add more hours to our Monday-Friday schedule offset this change. Because of this, we ask that any medication or food pickups be done before 5 PM on Fridays .

As always, we will have emergency care available 24/7. Access to emergency service for our clients and patients is very important to us. As many clinics in the UP have decided to discontinue emergency service, clinics in our region have seen a drastic increase in emergency calls from other areas. In order to continue the emergency service that our area clients deserve, we have teamed up with two of our neighboring veterinary clinics to develop an on-call co-op. Doctors in our co-op will take part in a rotation of weekend on-call duty. This change will allow us to continue our 24/7 emergency service, while allowing the doctors and their staff to maintain a healthy work-life balance. 

Thank you for your understanding and patience.

At Northern Veterinary Associates, we feel this change will be a positive one for our clients, patients, and veterinary team members who provide the top-notch care to your beloved furry family members.

Due to the storm, we have a lot of staff stuck at home. Please call the clinic this morning if you have an appointment or surgery scheduled. We will do our best to open things up as soon as possible.

It’s nice to have some company available when Dr. Jandron comes in on a Sunday to do office work. Domo and Ari keep him entertained. Or they are just looking for some treats….

Both cats started out in the world as strays. Both came to us severely injured, and we decided to keep them on as staff members after we fixed them.

Domo’s crooked jaw and Ari’s three legs have never slowed them down. They have been great clinic cats for many years!
