We couldn't be happier with the high quality service and care that we have received here. They truly care for what is in the best interest for your pet. They always answer any questions we have thoroughly and make sure we are comfortable and understand any treatment plan. We unfortunately have had a couple of emergency situations and they went above and beyond every step of the way making the process much easier on us. Our dog that we have now loves to visit them and gets so excited to go to the vet!

On Friday Oct 8th, in quite a panic I called Romeo Pet Hospital to see if they had availability for me to bring in my kitty who was very sick. I wasn't being unreasonable as I knew that it was the Friday before the Thanksgiving long weekend. When they responded very abruptly (like I was annoying them by calling right before a long weekend) by saying, "We aren't taking any new patients." I asked the woman if she could tell me of a place in Stratford or anywhere that i could take my cat to see someone because I thought she was dying. She said "Sorry, i cant refer you to anywhere." I thought this

Great staff and very compassionate. Even was able to wait a bit longer for me to come as I was running 20 min late. Dealing with having to put my pet down is something that every pet owner will have to face at some point (theres exceptions). They made what I had to deal with a comfortable for my giant rabbit and for myself as well. They did nothing but want to make both of us comfortable and just wanted to help. Thank you for helping me whit a very difficult time and decision

I love how they handle so many pets, but if I call and say my dogs name, they know. A little expensive, but you cant put a price on good care and a service that makes you feel like family.

We recently had our beautiful cat pass away and Romeo Hospital were so kind to us during this time. They were so caring and we knew she was in good hands with the staff there.
