Owner Review Summary

Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say

👍What Pet Owners Praised

Owners frequently praised the kind, patient staff and vets who communicate clearly, explain options and costs, and often follow up after visits. Many cited thorough, knowledgeable care—especially for exotics like birds, reptiles, rabbits, guinea pigs and rats—and gentle handling of anxious or hard-to-handle pets. Several reviews highlighted quick access for urgent needs or same-day appointments that resolved emergencies and, in some cases, saved pets’ lives.

💬Common Feedback & Suggestions

While most reviews are positive, a notable minority reported rude or dismissive interactions and feeling a lack of compassion during stressful visits. Scheduling and policy frustrations came up (appointment mix-ups or denials, strict late-arrival rules, and a closing time that differed from expectations), as well as not being allowed into exam rooms and an occasional long wait. Pricing impressions were mixed: many found fees reasonable or transparent, but others felt costs were high or quotes unclear, with one person alleging upselling. There was also an isolated cleanliness concern about a kennel not being cleaned promptly.

🐾Tips for Pet Owners

  • If you have an exotic pet (bird, reptile or small mammal), mention the species when booking as reviewers note strong expertise with these animals.
  • For urgent issues, call early—many reviewers were fit in quickly or seen on an emergency basis the same day.
  • Ask for an itemized estimate and discuss options and costs up front; several reviewers appreciated price transparency while others wanted clearer quotes.
  • Confirm your appointment details, late-arrival policy, and closing time beforehand to avoid the scheduling and hours mix-ups noted by some clients.
  • If you prefer to be present during exams, ask about their current exam-room policy before you arrive, as a few reviewers were not allowed to accompany their pets.

Call Fletcher Veterinary Hospital for a current quote, and ask for an itemized written estimate before procedures or surgery. If urgent or after-hours care is needed, fees are typically higher. Pet insurance and third-party payment-plan options may be available in Canada generally, but you should ask the clinic directly about any options they support.

Most Canadian veterinary clinics commonly accept Interac debit, Visa or Mastercard, and tap-and-go payments such as Apple Pay or Google Pay, but payment options can vary. Call ahead to confirm what Fletcher Veterinary Hospital currently accepts and whether any pet-insurance direct-claim or payment-plan options are available.
