The worst experience I have ever had with a veterinary clinic. Brought our dog here while on vacation up north as he had a small cut. We had to wait for 3.5 hours in our car in -35 degree temperature because everything was closed. Our dog had a small cut and They wanted to sedate him before determining if he needed stitches or staples one would be $800 and the other option $1000. We were told his cut had stopped bleeding so we asked them to bandage it up and we would go home and take him to our regular vet. We were met with a very rude attitude that we were not choosing one of the options they

Although I had a very short experience at the clinic, the staff's empathy did not go unnoticed. It was very apparent that Dr. Prior and her staff were very knowledgable and well equipped. I will be recommending their services to everyone! Thank you for the card, an extremely beautiful and thoughtful touch.

We went in as an emergency call. All staff was very kind and understanding. We had to put our very loved cat Spanky to sleep but they helped us through all the decisions and never made us feel rushed. I would highly recommend them and I thank them for helping through a very sad time.

I took my baby Bordeaux in cause he was limping and crying. By the time I got to the vet he wasn't walking at all. We were told it would be a 3 hour wait, understanding that high priority patients are seen first. I watched 2 dogs walk in wagging their tails happy to be there while we sat in our car trying to calm my 6 month old pup who is in obvious pain! They finally called to have him come in but unfortunately we left to try somewhere else that maybe could see him sooner. I explained to the doc this and she was rude and yelled at me while I'm balling my eyes out, "well that's your choice!" She

I have brought my dogs here a number of times when there was an emergency and I have never had an issue. Dr. Alliace (I don't think I spelt that right) was the vet that helped me recently. He took time to listen and was extremely honest and helpful. I know a lot of reviews say they are out for the money but I did not get that impression from this particular vet what so ever. Being an emergency vet, the walk-in rate is more expensive than a regular vet, which is to be expected. As long as I live in the Kawarthas and have a pet emergency I will be bringing my dogs here.
