Owner Review Summary

Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say

👍What Pet Owners Praised

Most reviews appear to describe a college campus and its amenities rather than a veterinary clinic. Reviewers consistently praised the beautiful, well-kept grounds, tidy facilities, and enjoyable places to walk (botanical gardens and wetlands). Many also highlighted helpful, knowledgeable instructors/staff in certain programs and positive experiences with on-campus amenities like the meat shop and greenhouse.

💬Common Feedback & Suggestions

Common concerns focused on communication and administration: several reviewers reported unanswered emails/phone calls, an outdated website, scheduling/enrolment issues, and a general sense of disorganization. There were repeated complaints about pricing and policies (non‑refundable fees and expensive meal plans), and some serious allegations of discrimination, favouritism, and poor coaching/support in specific programs. Given the mismatch, there is little to no clinic‑specific feedback about veterinary medical care, wait times, or pricing for clinical services in these reviews.

🏥Clinic Specialties

  • Equine reproduction focus (education setting)
  • Veterinary technician/VMR training exposure

🐾Tips for Pet Owners

  • Verify you’re looking at the correct listing; many reviews here describe a college campus, not a veterinary clinic.
  • Call or email ahead to confirm services and details, as multiple reviewers noted outdated online information and delayed responses.
  • Ask about fees and refund policies up front if cost matters; some reviewers mentioned non‑refundable charges and high ancillary costs.
  • If travelling in, allow extra time; one reviewer noted it can be a bit of a drive and the campus is spread out.
  • Check seasonal hours for on‑site amenities like the gardens/greenhouse or meat shop before visiting.
