Owner Review Summary
Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say
👍What Pet Owners Praised
Owners consistently praised the friendly, caring staff and the professional way pets were handled throughout surgery days. Many report smooth spay/neuter outcomes with clean incisions, clear instructions, and pain medication sent home. Pricing is repeatedly described as very affordable compared with private veterinarians, and the facility is noted as clean. Reviewers also appreciated staff who took time to answer questions and even helped scan found dogs for microchips to reunite them with owners.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
Most concerns revolve around access and communication: long wait lists (sometimes many months) and difficulty reaching the clinic or getting call-backs. Several reviewers noted that online booking fills up within minutes or can be glitchy, and a few mentioned day-of changes such as a surgery being cancelled after drop-off due to a newly detected health issue. One person reported over-trimmed nails at pickup, and another mentioned crowding at the discharge door that seemed stressful for anxious dogs. Overall sentiment is strongly positive, with these issues focused mainly on scheduling, contact, and pickup flow.

🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- Join the wait list early and monitor your email; if you don’t hear back, follow up persistently by phone or email.
- If timing is tight, consider checking other SPCA clinics in nearby cities (reviewers mentioned Newmarket and Hamilton) for earlier availability.
- Share any known medical conditions with the clinic ahead of time and request pre-op screening to avoid day-of cancellations.
- At pickup, give anxious pets space by waiting away from exit doors and bringing a secure carrier or well-fitted leash.
- Confirm you receive pain medication and written aftercare instructions, and ask any questions before leaving.
