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 explanations, noting follow‑up calls and thoughtful guidance through treatment options. Many cite successful outcomes for surgeries (like TPLO and cherry eye), chronic disease management, emergencies, and wound care, as well as gentle handling of anxious or senior pets and very supportive end‑of‑life care. Several reviews appreciated timely appointments, a comfortable space, and neighbourhood convenience, with some noting help on short notice.

💬Common Feedback & Suggestions

While most feedback is positive, a recurring theme is concern about high costs and perceived upselling, including added tests, vaccines, or sedation without clear consent or estimates. A minority reported rushed visits, feeling pressured, or rough handling—particularly with some small pets (e.g., rabbits or a bird nail trim)—and wanted better transparency and communication around procedures and pricing. A few mentioned appointment availability issues, billing/admin hiccups (like an order mix‑up), and one note about COVID‑era distancing. These concerns stand out amid many loyal, long‑term clients.

🐾Tips for Pet Owners

  • Ask for a written estimate and give explicit consent before any add‑on tests, vaccines, or sedation to avoid billing surprises.
  • Discuss cost‑conscious options and alternatives up front; several owners recommend having pet insurance for unexpected expenses.
  • If you have a rabbit, rat, or other small pet, confirm handling and whether sedation is necessary for trims or procedures.
  • Book ahead when possible, but call to ask about same‑day slots for urgent issues; there is parking available behind the clinic.
  • For international travel, contact the clinic early to organise CFIA health certificates and bring required documents.
