Northrock Hospital for Animals

Northrock Hospital for Animals is a veterinary clinic at 8338 East 29th St N. in Wichita, KS, that also provides dog boarding for owners who need overnight care. Boarding runs out of the same building as the medical practice, so dogs staying the night are in the same place as the veterinary team.

What makes it different

The on-site veterinary care is the real distinction. Northrock handles wellness exams and vaccinations, digital X-rays and ultrasound diagnostics, surgical procedures, and urgent care with a trained veterinary team. For a senior dog, a dog with a chronic condition, or one who needs medication given on schedule, boarding inside a working animal hospital cuts out a trip. Grooming is available too, so a stay can end with a bath and a nail trim.

Services and amenities

• Pet boarding for dogs and cats
• Full-service veterinary care on-site
• Wellness exams and vaccinations
• Digital X-rays and ultrasound diagnostics
• Pet baths and nail trimming

Practical details

The clinic runs 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Monday through Friday, and 8:00 AM to noon on Saturday. It is closed Sunday, so drop-off and pickup have to land inside those windows. Owners returning late on a Sunday should plan on a Monday morning pickup. Boarding questions and reservations go through the front desk at (316) 636-1200. The clinic's website, northrockvet.com, also takes appointment requests. For owners comparing Wichita boarding options, having medical staff on the premises is the main draw here.
