Owner Review Summary
Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say
👍What Pet Owners Praised
Owners consistently praised the team’s compassionate, professional care and clear communication during emergencies. Many credit the clinicians with life‑saving work, from foreign‑body surgeries and difficult porcupine‑quill removals to emergency C‑sections, oxygen support, and rapid stabilization. Reviewers also valued frequent phone updates, transparent discussions of options, and exceptionally kind end‑of‑life care. Several noted being triaged and seen quickly when pets were truly critical.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
Common concerns were long waits—sometimes several hours—for non‑critical cases, and occasional reports of being turned away when the clinic was overwhelmed. Experiences with front‑desk service were mixed, with a few reviewers describing brusque or unsympathetic interactions and slower updates at busy times. Pricing felt fair and transparent to many, but others found it expensive or felt outcomes didn’t match costs. A small number of serious complaints referenced misdiagnosis, medication errors, or procedural mishaps; while these were rare compared with positive reports, they did affect trust for those reviewers.

🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- Call ahead to describe symptoms; they triage by urgency and may advise on timing or next steps before you arrive.
- If your pet’s issue is minor or non‑urgent, expect a longer wait and consider a daytime or non‑emergency clinic to avoid delays and higher after‑hours fees.
- Ask for an itemized estimate and treatment plan upfront, and request regular phone updates while your pet is in the back.
- Bring your pet’s medical history, current medications, and insurance details to speed triage and decision‑making.
- Prepare for emergency‑level costs and possible hospitalization; clarify what can be done immediately versus what can safely wait for your regular vet.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are the questions pet owners ask most often — tap a question to read the full answer. For other concerns, please consult a licensed veterinarian.
Kawartha Veterinary Emergency Clinic is located at 1840 Lansdowne St W Unit 20, Peterborough, ON K9K 2M9. No subway, light-rail, or train station was found within walking distance, so driving is likely the most practical option; for transit, check Google Maps or the local bus agency for the nearest current bus route. Beech Lot Parking is about a 7-minute walk away.
Kawartha Veterinary Emergency Clinic asks pet owners to call ahead to confirm current opening hours before visiting. This is especially important for emergency care, because wait times and capacity can change depending on urgent cases already being treated.
You can contact Kawartha Veterinary Emergency Clinic by phone at (705) 741-5832. Calling ahead is recommended so the team can discuss your pet's symptoms and advise on timing or next steps.
Call ahead to enquire before coming in, especially if your pet is stable or the concern is not immediately life-threatening. The clinic appears to triage by urgency, so critical cases may be seen before non-urgent pets.
Consultation fees vary by clinic and are not regulated by a government-published veterinary fee schedule in Canada, and OHIP does not cover pets. Call the clinic for a current quote, and ask for an itemized written estimate before procedures or hospitalization. Because this clinic provides emergency and after-hours care, fees may be higher than at a daytime general-practice appointment. Pet insurance and third-party payment-plan options may help some owners, but availability should be confirmed directly with the provider or clinic.
Most Canadian veterinary clinics commonly accept Interac debit, Visa or Mastercard, and tap-and-go payments such as Apple Pay or Google Pay, but you should call ahead to confirm what Kawartha Veterinary Emergency Clinic currently accepts. Some clinics may also support pet-insurance claims or third-party payment plans, but these should not be assumed unless confirmed.
Yes, the available information describes Kawartha Veterinary Emergency Clinic as providing emergency and critical care. Reported emergency services include rapid stabilization, oxygen support, foreign-body and GI obstruction surgery, porcupine-quill removal, emergency C-sections, reproductive care, and compassionate end-of-life care.
Pet-owner feedback highlights compassionate emergency care, professional communication, clear treatment discussions, and strong cleanliness scores. Common cautions include long waits for non-critical cases, mixed front-desk experiences, occasional capacity limits, and costs that some owners found expensive, so calling ahead and asking for updates and written estimates is recommended.
