Owner Review Summary

Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say

👍What Pet Owners Praised

Owners consistently praised the hospital’s life‑saving emergency care and strong surgical outcomes, especially for TPLO/CCL repairs, fracture fixes, and complex soft‑tissue procedures. Many highlighted clear, thorough explanations, compassionate bedside manner, and excellent communication with frequent phone updates—and even photos—during hospital stays. Reviewers also valued the 24/7 availability and the ability to accommodate urgent referrals and out‑of‑province cases.

💬Common Feedback & Suggestions

Reviews were overwhelmingly positive, but some concerns recurred. Several owners described high or unexpected costs and, in a few cases, felt pressured or upset about fees around euthanasia or add‑on charges. A minority reported long waits or triage delays, drop‑off/scheduling miscommunications, or interactions that felt rushed, dismissive, or inconsistent at the front desk. Despite these, most still expressed gratitude for the care and outcomes.

🐾Tips for Pet Owners

  • Call ahead to describe symptoms; they provide triage guidance and can advise whether to come in immediately.
  • Ask for a detailed written estimate and discuss alternatives—many reviewers noted clear options and cost transparency.
  • Expect wait times to vary with emergency severity; bring essentials to stay comfortable if you may need to wait.
  • If you’re travelling from out of town, plan for possible multi‑day hospitalization and rely on their regular phone updates.
  • For surgeries (e.g., TPLO or soft‑tissue), request clear post‑op instructions and schedule follow‑ups before discharge.
