Company History
Northside Pet Hospital was started in May 1987, in a 600 sq ft leased office at 1025 North Hastings Way. It was filled with a small amount of used equipment, and some big dreams. At first, it was Dr Menard and one staff person manning the office.
Realizing that this space wouldn't be adequate for long, Dr Menard purchased a building and property at 1717 Western Ave in February 1988. Remodeling began in the spring of 1990, and Northside Pet Hospital moved in Labor Day weekend, 1990. By 1996, it was obvious that Northside Pet Hospital was again outgrowing its space, and the design process began for a new stand-alone hospital.
Ground for the new facility was broken in late August of 2001, and moving day came on May 2, 2002. But it became very clear that even the new facility was not big enough, so another 987 sq ft were added in the winter of 2005-2006. Then in 2017 expansion happened again with another 1500 sq ft, when Dr. Menard added on the newest Rehabilitation Suite. This included 3 new exam rooms and an extension of the lobby area, bringing Northside's facility to its present configuration.
