Owner Review Summary
Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say
👍What Pet Owners Praised
Owners consistently praised the caring, patient team and the way vets and techs take time to explain options and answer questions without rushing. Many mention gentle, fear‑reducing handling—especially for anxious pets and cats (including a dedicated cat room)—and thorough exams that lead to clear diagnoses and good outcomes. Reviewers also appreciated quick accommodation for urgent needs and same‑day appointments, accurate upfront quotes, and proactive follow‑ups.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
While reviews are overwhelmingly positive, a minority raised concerns about cost, with a few feeling overcharged or sold on unnecessary dentistry, despite many others calling prices fair. A handful noted limited hours and occasional delays due to staffing, plus some frustration with policy‑based requirements for exams before refills. There were isolated comments about front‑desk rudeness or a sense it was “about money,” and a few mentioned vet turnover and one missed diagnosis. Overall sentiment remains very favourable, with these issues appearing infrequently.

🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- Use their app to book appointments and manage your pet’s needs—reviewers found it convenient for scheduling and medications.
- Ask for a written estimate before procedures; staff are transparent about costs and quotes tend to be accurate.
- If your pet is anxious (especially cats), request calm‑handling options such as the cat‑only room or examinations done with the carrier top off and a towel for comfort.
- For seniors or chronic issues, ask about senior‑pet packages and plan regular visits (e.g., monthly arthritis injections) in advance.
- For urgent problems, call ahead—same‑day or immediate accommodations are often possible, but limited hours mean booking earlier can help.

Call Briarwood Animal Hospital for a current quote, and ask for an itemized written estimate before procedures such as dentistry, diagnostics, imaging, or hospitalization. After-hours or emergency-related care is typically more expensive than routine visits. Pet insurance and third-party payment-plan options may help some owners manage costs, but you should confirm any direct-claim or financing options with the clinic.
Most Canadian veterinary clinics commonly accept Interac debit, Visa or Mastercard, and tap-and-go options such as Apple Pay or Google Pay, while some may support pet-insurance direct claims or third-party payment plans.
