They were great with my dog, they recommended a course of action that seems to be suiting him quite well. They listened when we told him he is reactive (he has a VERY scary bark, but does not bite) and by the end of his visit, described him as a sweetheart. Also, flexible with the appointment and all very kind people.

This is just ridiculous. Nobody gives any information about the service itself and what is included. Half of needed medication are out of stock. No chance to get help you need or clear understanding of what you getting here. And thats all besides the fact that you cant see what is really going on with you pet and did your pet get any treatment that they are charging you for. People are nice and polite, but it doesnt help at all if you didnt receive what youve come for. Save your time. Find someone who will get you proper service

I have gone here twice, the first time the experience was just okay, the second time was a little better because I knew what to expect. I would still give them 5 stars because I can get an appointment quickly for any urgent matters and the vet seems knowledgeable. I did feel a little uneasy both times as they take your pet inside and you have no knowledge of what's going on - it is a little bit more stressful if your pet hates going to the clinics and gets very anxious. The receptionists and the staff are curt and to the point because they are too busy. If you want an urgent checkup, I would recommend

This was a terrible experience and i would never go back to this clinic. They are not my primary vet but it was an urgent matter and we had no choice but to go to them. Although the current climate( COVID) makes for more challenges in service there is really no excuse for how they handled things. The receptionist took my dog to the back without even learning about the reason for our visit and the details they should know. Told us to wait outside for 20-30 minutes and they would call us when he was ready. I felt uneasy as they didn't even care to discuss the what was going on with my dog. The main

I am very fond of this clinic and I have a lot of great trust in it for our dog. We recently moved to Mississauga last year and we are very impressed with its services, the doctor, the staff, etc. Especially during COVID, so many other clinics and places were all over the place with their precautions but RAC was really really good. We've only had to come in twice, but I still like how rigouous and consistent it is here.
