We are new pet parents and were so fortunate to be able to bring Dax to start her health journey with Dr. Tyler Hughes at Sackville Animal Hospital. She is a rescue, and so some of her past history is unknown to us. We attempted getting support at another vet clinic, but did not have a good experience. Regardless of her past, she has been treated so incredibly well here. We have also been treated so incredibly well, considering we have so much to learn. Every single staff member is so friendly, supportive, and kind. We know how hard this industry is, and are so very grateful for the loving care

The amount of incompetence I have experienced since bringing my pet here since June 2021 is mind blowing. My pet was experiencing weight control, bladder and mobility issues. I brought him in with concerns of thyroid issues as his brother recently passed away of thyroid issues and was experiencing many of the same symptoms. I was billed almost $500.00 and told his thyroid was checked via extensive bloodwork and a full uranalysis was done as well. It was determined that my pet was diabetic. He started getting better with insulin treatments and they they said I had to change his food. I changed his

Was excellent. I have an old sweet dog who had to have dental surgery. They provided accurate information and our dog had 25 teeth removed. Picked him up at 3pm and by 5pm he was bouncing around like a puppy again. He healed perfect and we were provided with pictures of his teeth before during and after surgery. I have recommend this clinic to my sister who changed vets after many years and her little dog is now having his dental surgery on Monday. We are animal lovers and I cannot say enough about this place. They are outstanding! The staff is friendly and kind. Would not go anywhere else with

I am absolutely in awe of the staff here. They are all so caring and friendly and I couldn't imagine taking my elderly dog Bella anywhere else. We have had a few issues with her health over the last few months and Dr Tyler has been incredible. Nothing is too much trouble and you are never made to feel rushed. These guys are awesome and I can't thank them enough.

A special thanks to Raylee who handled all my questions and concerns about my golden retriever Teddy who needed an emergency procedure. She even called the following day to check up on him. I have been going to Sackville Animal Hospital since the start of the pandemic which means I haven't been able to go inside for any of my dogs appointments. Choosing a vet who would be patient and kind to my 8 week old puppy was very important to me. Now as a 1 year old, my boy has never been afraid of the vet and welcomes the staff with bum wiggles and wanting pets. The staff at Sackville Animal Hospital
