Bloor-Kipling Animal Clinic

This review does not come with a recommendation to use this vet clinic.
We took our 16yr old cat Ceilidh there to be put to sleep as she was very ill.
Dr. Sohal lacks bedside manners when it comes to euthanasia. He came into the room carrying the needle clear as day, and was talking to us while the needle was waving around while he held on to it. Dr. Sohal proceeded to go into graphic detail of how my cat will react to the sedation such as vomiting, seizure, drooling, shaking, bowel movements etc. We didn’t need this kind of detail. Especially because we were visibly upset that we were saying goodbye to our friend. My husband had to stop him from talking as it was completely inappropriate. We knew what to expect when we called to make the appointment we were told.
I was so upset I had to leave the room.
Regarding the paw print and price related. We were not given the option of style or colour. We were only offered a paw print for $ 68.00. Which we paid.
3 — 4 weeks later we received our paw print. What we got was disappointing to say the least. Firstly, our cat’s name was spelled incorrectly on the box — should be Ceilidh — it read Caileidh and the surname was misspelled too.
The company who makes these paw prints is Gateway Pet Memorial. Per there website, the Memorial Clay Paw Print is $ 25.00. All this is — is a raw, red clay plain paw print. No paint, no shellac, no name. The Precious Paw Print has choice of colour w/​pet name for $ 41.00. You can also get a Paw Print Frame (which was not offered by this clinic) for $ 40.00.
At $ 68.00, this vet clinic is more than doubling the cost and totally gouging their clients. At the very least you should get the basic print with frame and its still under the $ 68.00 this clinic charges = $ 65.00.
Luckily, I’ve reached out to Gateway and they’re going to fix this at no additional cost to us.
Please be advised if you go to this clinic! You do not get an option for the style of paw print you want. If you order it, you’ll get red clay only.
Please don’t let your memorial experience be as disheartening and disappointing as ours was. Needless to say our two new little kittens have found a new vet who has and will take better care.
Thanks for reading!!!

The MAN vet is great. The WOMAN vet does very little work on your pet and charges $$$$$ and watches you when you pay because she knows she just raped you.

I don’t know if I am a fan of this popular little clinic. I’ve been here a couple of times with my puppy for his shots.
The first time, I had a female vet, who made it known that she’s not a fan of dogs. With that, she did Caesar’s first ever check up. It lasted a quick minute. I was told that these check ups are thorough and last atleast 20 minutes. I was also told that I would be given some puppy tips. Nothing. And oh! And I paid in full.
The second time, I was promised a better experience by the receptionist. She asked me to come visit their resident vet (their «male» vet) who’s «very kind to dogs.» This visit was good until the vet asked me to leave the room so that he can put a muzzle on my pup who was being a little difficult. Caesar’s a very very very nervous puppy when I am not around, as some puppies can be. So needless to say, neither him nor the vet had a very good experience in there.
The third time around, Caesar recognized the place and wanted to hang on to me. I wanted his nails trimmed. The receptionist dragged him in and chained him up; they don’t have proper nail trimming stations. And poor guy was so scared, he soiled himself. The vet was supposed to give him a shot after, and he was acting super nervous around the puppy instead of trying to make him feel comfortable. Also, I have a big breed. The vet suggested I neuter him at 6 months. From what I’ve read and known, that is not a good suggestion as it could’ve stunted my pup’s growth.
All in all, I am very unhappy with this clinic. I understand my dog can be difficult. But PetSmart didn’t have a problem getting him «settled.» It appals me that «male» vet was this incompetent.

This is the only vet clinic I’ve been to so I can’t compare but I will say that they are very friendly and do not try to tack on unnecessary expenses as I have heard some places do. My cat always leaves here cured of whatever ailment brought him for a visit. Highly recommended.

Great vet clinic! This has been our vet for a number of years now. A few years ago my husband and I adopted a dog who was incredibly ill, covered in mange and was severely underweight. The whole team took our dog under their wing and fixed him up. The medications and procedures were costly and spanned well over a year. Truly animals lovers. I would recommend this clinic to anyone.

We took our cat there a long while ago and the doctor was really helpful and understanding. Although my cat probably despises him for what was done (Itchy had constipation problems so you can guess what.) but he was obviously okay afterwards and is happy and healthy in his old age now. We just booked an appointment for my dog Buddy as well for some shots, and I’m glad that we did because they offer good rates and its right down the street from my parents place which is nice and convenient.
