Owner Review Summary

Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say

👍What Pet Owners Praised

Owners consistently praised the friendly, compassionate team and clear communication from reception through to the vets. Many highlighted thorough exams, patient handling of nervous pets, and strong outcomes ranging from routine vaccines and spay/neuter to dental work and emergencies, with helpful follow-up calls after surgery. Reviewers also appreciated reasonable pricing and discounts for people on ODSP, OW, pensions, and seniors, noting good value for care.

💬Common Feedback & Suggestions

A minority of reviews reported concerns, including a few serious claims of misdiagnosis or missed issues, and isolated experiences of rough handling or a service gone wrong (e.g., a nail trim that bled). Some felt quotes were high or that there was upselling, particularly around sedation, after-hours visits, or diagnostics; one noted strict late-appointment policies and fees, and another cited slow results communication. There was a single mention of finding fleas after a visit and one allegation about not scanning for a microchip before a spay. While the tone is largely positive, these reports suggest tightening quality consistency, communication around costs, and handling protocols would help.

🐾Tips for Pet Owners

  • Ask about available discounts (ODSP/OW, seniors, pensions) and their separate vaccine exam fee to plan your visit cost-effectively.
  • Arrive a bit early; several reviewers noted strict policies if you’re late that can lead to rescheduling and fees.
  • If your pet is anxious or hard to handle, tell staff in advance—reviews note they’re patient and may let you assist during handling.
  • Discuss treatment options, sedation needs, and after-hours fees up front, and request written estimates; ask about alternatives or referrals when appropriate.
  • After any procedure, clarify home-care instructions and expect a follow-up call; keep your phone available for updates.
