I took my cat to the DVC almost 2 years ago. I'm still very angry about my experience there. I had adopted an adult cat some months before and brought her in to have a few issues checked. I left with no solutions, a $70 tube of ointment my cat did not need and absolutely furious. I had to make another appointment for her at a new vet to get proper care for her.
First, she was biting at a couple of her nails and they had turned a sickly brown colour. DVC vet couldn't figure out which of her nails were the issue and told me multicoloured cats had different coloured nails. I think she mixed up nails

I was amazed that having been a client of the Danforth Vet Clinic for close to 10 years, they would not accept my cat in an emergency situation, but instead referred me to 2 other vets who were not accepting any new clients. I called on a Monday in need of immediate help and was told the earliest they could accept me was the Friday. I pleaded for them to see my cat, even for 10 minutes to give him medicine, and was turned away. I had to call over 6 different vets for anyone to accept my cat the same day. I was told repeatedly that vets are not accepting new clients during Covid, even the emergency

I have been using Danforth Veterinary for over 20 years. Doctor Au and now Doctor Chung are excellent. Still use this practice for health issues since I moved out of this area over 10 years ago.
