Owner Review Summary
Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say
👍What Pet Owners Praised
Owners consistently praised the compassionate, friendly team and vets who take time to explain options clearly and follow up after procedures. Many cited strong outcomes with surgeries and urgent care (spay/neuter, TPLO and other knee procedures, dental work, ear repairs, feline urinary issues), as well as empathetic, peaceful at‑home euthanasia. Travellers repeatedly highlighted how organized and knowledgeable the staff are with international health certificates and CFIA paperwork, often accommodating tight timelines.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
A minority of reviewers reported concerns about diagnostic accuracy or overtreatment, including a few serious misdiagnoses and medication choices. Several mentioned rough handling or a rushed manner from the vet, and a few noted rude or unhelpful phone interactions. Some owners felt overcharged or surprised by final bills—especially for euthanasia, cremation add‑ons, and quotes that didn’t match invoices—and there were occasional rescheduling or wait‑time frustrations. A couple of comments also mentioned cleanliness issues during a home visit or in‑clinic.

🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- If you’re travelling internationally with your pet, contact the clinic early and bring prior records so they can prepare health certificates and coordinate CFIA appointments on time.
- Ask for written estimates before procedures—especially euthanasia or cremation add‑ons—and confirm phone quotes against the final invoice to avoid surprises.
- If your pet is anxious or reactive, discuss handling and sedation preferences in advance; consider requesting a house call for reduced stress.
- Bring any recent X‑rays, lab results, or medical history—reviews suggest they may accept prior imaging to avoid repeat costs.
- Confirm appointment times on the day of your visit, as some reviewers noted rescheduling or delays during busy periods.
