When you have to say goodbye to your pet, friend and companion of almost 16 years you want to give him a peaceful passing and you want to be surrounded by compassion and understanding. On January 22 when I arrived at 24 Hour Animal Care Centre that is not what happened. My son in law who is an EMT was not allowed in wth me until the very end. I was ALONE. From the moment I arrived there was a rushed feeling,a lack of communication, no medical information shared to help me make a decision and a bill was presented for immediate payment before anything was done. My decision was to end Teddy's

The most uncompassionate experience. My mother took her dying dog in to be put down as the dog was old and suffering. They only cared about money They tried to rush my mother out of the room as soon as her dog had passed barley giving her time to say goodbye. As my mother was crying alot she turned and pulled down her mask to wiper her tears n nose. The vet got upset moth her and told her to do that outside as my mother wss putting her mask back on. Before they put him down my mother had to call me to borrow her money bc they wouldnt give my mother her dog or put him to sleep without 700$. Now

Our Berner had been throwing up, was shaking, crying, and seemed like he was getting bursts of pain. It was 9pm, so called this vet clinic to see if they could help, as our normal vet clinic was closed. The person on the phone was very helpful, very empathetic, and kind. She could hear my dog crying in the background and gave us some options of when we could come in. We chose to take him asap. My husband drove our dog there and said the experience from the time he pulled up to the time he left was really great. He was home within 2 hours. I'd like to give 4.5 stars just because my husband was

This is hands down, the most pathetic excuse for a Vet Clinic EVER. They are there to collect $150 for doing nothing and are liars too. They are pretty smooth on how they operate. Please DO NOT take your pet here. They deserve 0 stars! Pretty sure the positive reviews are from friends or family. Take your pet there at your own risk!

Do not waste your time here. I brought my dog in to get his shots renewed and was charged over $140 for one shot. They didnt update the rest of his shots like asked to, instead said he wasnt due for them yet - so I checked with my other vet and they were in fact due. Then they said they didnt do them because they were denied to give him more shots. Which again is another lie! They also said we could be there when he got his shots and then didnt allow us in. He came back after that literally shaking and panting Ive never seen my dog so shaken up and stressed out before. After reading

We have had our kitten since May of 2021 and we came here for our vaccines and neuter. No issues with that, although after doing research (months later unfortunately) I definitely feel as if we overpaid for the services received compared to other clinics. Also, the reviews here are awful. Our most recent visit was an emergency visit. Our kitten had jumped onto the hot stove top and burnt his front paws. The office wasnt able to see us for four hours but they had us limit his food intake in the meantime (he randomly threw up twice after the incident) and run his paws under cold water.
