Brought my cat here once for a nail trim. Sent 2 messages to their email about booking another appointment for trim and shots, since they never answer their phone and disabled their voicemail. Its been weeks since the initial email, even sent a message to their fb page which they left on read. These people just ignore you, waste of time, unprofessional and rude

I have been going to this vet decades ago with all my family dogs and cats and just recently my own dog has been deteriorating and I needed to find a place that I felt safe and comfortable with knowing that my dog needed to be put down. So I ended up calling McLean veterinarian to see if I could get my dog Jersey another review of our health after other factors came up with her situation they got me an appointment right away and I did bring her in and I had a lovely doctor Who was very gentle kind felt like she had the best interest in my dog and it just felt like the same place that I went two

I love my Veterinary clinic, all of the staff are very friendly, they can usually squeeze me in if they are tight and I have an emergency, in fact that is the reason I left my former vet, they were always booked up for weeks in advance and never had exceptions. Their contactless process during COVID has been great. They also don't try and upsell their services, which I love!! They have an inhouse pet care plan which is affordable and very useful.

In the event of a pet emergency requiring a Veterinarian, there's an animal hospital on Victoria Park just north of Arncliffe Cres. Staff can assess the situation but there's an initial fee.
Brace yourself! It could run thousands of dollars and you may have to make a difficult decision. My friend and I have both been at this crossroad. It's a horrible choice to weigh quality of life of a pet even with treatment verses ability to pay.
