I got a puppy and was informed that Colborne's vet was the vet who gave the first vaccines. I called and asked if they can take my whole gang. They agreed and now have become my vet of five dogs four cats and three rabbits.

The staff made time for 2 kittens that needed vaccinations asap. They were engaging and very understanding. The kittens were comfortable and I was confident that they were in capable and caring hands. We then took in another kitten and the service was timely and again kitty was treated so well that I'm confident again. The prices are somewhat more than busier and more high volume vets. The prices are reflective of the cozy and open atmosphere, it's worth it. The vet himself is thorugh and knowledgeable. I would recommend this team to take care of your pets with genuine nurturing, understanding

Front staff were polite but the vet himself is rude and shows no compassion. Also, they are on the pricey side compared to other places. Would NOT recommend this place

Always a good visit. Dr.Arora takes the time to explain things and is always pleasant to deal with. Same can be said of the tech /front desk staff, always treat my pets with care and love! Cost is a little higher than other locally but the service has been more than worth the premium for me.
