South Etobicoke Animal Hospital

I brought my Rottweiler to get his shots UTD about a month ago. Standard vet meeting but the reason for my 5 stars is because this vet is a genuine animal lover and gave me some advice on dealing with my aggressive alpha male not neutered dog. But the biggest reason for the 5 stars is the price. Reasonable and like 50% difference from others places I’ve gone to.

Poor service, high prices, dumpy atmosphere. This place is a stone’s throw from my home, so unfortunately I took my dog there for several years. An emergency forced us to go to another vet and we realized what we were missing, we’re never going back!
I’ve had 2 different vets examine my dog over the years, and both were equally disappointing. It’s like pulling teeth to get information and advice from them, but when it comes to up selling, suddenly they’re talkative. For instance, I had a concern with lumps near my dog’s hind quarters. The vet took a biopsy and reported that it wasn’t cancerous, so completely normal. No further information, even though I followed up with him about it at later appointments. At the new clinic, I asked for a second opinion and the vet also told me it was normal, but told me what it was, why it was there, what I could do to make it go down.
There was another time that my dog needed ear drops. The vet asked if I had ever given my dog ear drops before and since I hadn’t, asked if I would like a demonstration. Of course, I said yes, but when I saw the bill, that 2 minutes demonstration cost me $ 85. The vet had not mentioned this charge, nor the fact that the package contained detailed instructions with diagrams. I didn’t bother to argue about the charge, but it certainly left a bitter taste in my mouth.
Lastly, the hours are not very convenient for a 9 to 5er, and when I have scheduled appointments after work, I have had them cancelled on multiple occasions. This was always a few hours before the appointment, and if I didn’t pick up the phone, no alternative dates where left, it was up to me to call back and start all over with rescheduling. Usually when this occurred, the clinic would be closed when I called back, which leads me to believe that the cancellation was just because they decided to close early that day.
Go somewhere else, you can do better!

Very, very unimpressed with this place, but at least they seem to be forwarding the results from the cat’s tests to another clinic as per our request.
Brought m’lady’s cat who hadn’t been eating for an extended period to this clinic. They ended up charging us $ 600 for a blood test, an enema and 2 x-​rays. They ended up determining that he needed to go on antibiotics, which ran us another $ 70 a few days later. We were also told that he should be force-​fed before taking the antibiotics in order to avoid screwing his system up, and if we were unable to, that they’d put him on IV (which was crazy expensive too).
Once he was done his antibiotics, he still wouldn’t eat. Called the clinic again and the doc said that all he could think of was to put him on IV for at least 4 days (running us about another $ 1000).
Found another clinic at Bathurst & Dupont (Bathurst Dupont Animal Hospital), and what a world of difference :-o They charged $ 75 for 6 shots (consisting of among other things antibiotics and vitamins) and an exam and told m’lady that if he wouldn’t eat by 8 P.M. that day to bring him in again the next day. The next morning the vet himself called to check on the cat’s stat. I highly recommend Bathurst Dupont based on our experience so far. They charge next to nothing and seem to do all that’s needed to make your pet feel better.
