Owner Review Summary
Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say
👍What Pet Owners Praised
Owners consistently praised the team for being caring, compassionate, and professional, with many long‑term clients saying they wouldn’t go anywhere else. Several noted clear communication, prompt help, and even after‑hours responsiveness during emergencies. Pricing was frequently described as fair or reasonable, with no overcharging, and surgical and end‑of‑life care were handled sensitively and effectively.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
A few recent reviews raised serious concerns about clinical judgement, alleging vaccinations were given to very young or ill puppies that later had complications. There were also access issues: one report of a critical cat not being triaged at the front desk, a refusal to see a non‑local emergency, and notes that new clients weren’t being accepted at times. While most feedback about costs was positive, one person found care expensive, and another felt there was no time for special‑needs cases.

🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- Call ahead for emergencies; reviewers report the vet has met clients at the clinic after returning calls, but access can be limited for non‑local cases.
- If you’re a new client, confirm they’re accepting new patients before you go.
- For very young or unwell pets, discuss vaccine timing and risks with the vet beforehand.
- Ask for itemized estimates—many owners find prices fair and clearly explained.
- If arriving with a critical pet, alert staff immediately that it’s an emergency to ensure prompt triage.

Consultation fees vary by clinic in Canada and are not set by a government-published veterinary fee schedule; provincial health insurance such as OHIP does not cover pets. Call the clinic for a current quote, and ask for an itemized written estimate before procedures such as surgery, wound care, euthanasia, or cremation. After-hours or emergency care typically costs more than a regular appointment. Pet insurance and third-party payment-plan options may be available in Canada generally, but confirm directly with the clinic before assuming they apply.
Many Canadian veterinary clinics commonly accept Interac debit, Visa, Mastercard, and tap-and-go payments such as Apple Pay or Google Pay, while some may support pet-insurance claims or third-party payment plans. Call ahead to confirm which payment methods Durham Veterinary Clinic currently accepts.
