Blue Cross Animal Hospital

I’ll start with saying, they are very accessible through TTC. But be prepared to pay for parking $ 1.50÷30 min IF you are lucky enough to find some.
Another plus: FREE nail trim and deworming.
Another plus: friendly and interactive with the animals.
Minus: $$
I was quoted $ 78+tx and I ended up with a bill of $ 132.@# I was charged for a prescription of ear drops «as a precaution». Plus they gave my very healthy and active puppy one shot of vaccination. No sticker for his booklet. I have to go back in three weeks to get one. And did I mention he hasn’t been the same since. I hope he didn’t catch something in that waiting room we were in for 40 minutes before being seen. :-/​
Now to be fair, they maybe better than many other places and probably cheaper. I have heard McLean’s clinic are close in price and Rexdale animal clinic came highly highly recommended but too far from me.
Best of luck!

I love this place! The staff are very friendly and caring towards me and my pet. The rates are affordable and they do a great job!

I love this clinic. The staff are wonderful, the doctors amazing, and the prices are affordable. They never try to upsell me on unnecessary things, and are always fast. I don’t see myself changing vets anytime soon.

I’m a long time client of the Blue Cross Animal Hospital (20 years) and my pets have always been treated well, but most recently during a crisis with my young dog I reached a new level of gratefulness and appreciation at the level of compassion and professionalism I experienced by the Veterinarians and support staff there. My dog was seriously injured and traumatized, and frankly so was I from 48 hours of searching for him in the wilderness. Regardless, I called them from out of town to say we were on our way and even though we didn’t have an appointment they made the time and spent hours taking care of all our needs. When I called the next day to say we’d had a rough night and needed a review and extra support, no problem, they made time and the next night was better. I could not have asked for more from any caring professional and I know I will be seeing more of this team over the next several weeks. If this is the quality of care you wish for your K-​9 or feline companion, look no further.

I went to see Dr Cimpean last week when my pug started to show blood in his urine. I had adopted my pug two years ago and he had developed aggressive behavior in his adolescence. He was very good with my dog and compassionate about his aggression. He started my dog with antibiotics and I decided at the last minute to hold off on the urine tests until we saw the results of the antibiotics prescription. He was very understanding and forthcoming of my decision. My dog is no longer urinating blood and is well!

I have been taking my cats to Blue Cross Animal Hospital for over 20 years! Now we live in Scarborough, but it’s worth the trek across town to maintain the trusting relationship that we have established with Dr. Eaglesome. She has taken our cat through some very challenging health issues, and we have emerged victorious!
We recently adopted a retired greyhound — and have taken her to Blue Cross for her check up and shots. The veterinarian phoned personally to follow up with the blood test results. My own doctor’s office doesn’t do this! I have been recommending Blue Cross to my friends for years.

Over the years I have taken 2 cats and one dog (see pic) here. I got my first cat 20+ years ago and made the rounds to many downtown vets before finding Blue Cross and from then on for me it was a no brainer to take my second cat and now my dog here.
This may sounds crazy but it’s one of the few vet’s I’ve been to where I actually feel like they love animals and even though ownership and vets have changed over the years I have consistently dealt with people who have a down to earth, no-​nonsense, straightforward approach. They are caring and humane but do not guilt or pressure you into every test and operation out there which in my opinion is actually not humane. They give you options, and they give their opinion without playing on your emotions.
One of my cats and my dog has had to spend some time in the hospital and they called me regularly throughout to give me updates. With my dog, at 6 months of age she did require an operation as she has an extreme sock fetish. The day after she was not ready to come home yet and was still pretty drugged but they thought she seemed a bit down so they suggested that I come hang out in the back with her for a while to perk her up, which I did. I felt like they would have let me stay all afternoon. I spent a few hours with her and she was given the ok to come home the next morning. Even after that experience, she still gets excited when we go in there, actually as soon as she realizes that we’re close by on Danforth. If that’s not a ringing endorsement I don’t know what is.
Blue Cross Animal Hospital is Klara approved:)

I had a great appointment with Dr. Wannan. He was really sweet with my Shih Tzu.

I have been taking my dogs and cats here for nearly 7 years now and highly recommend the Blue Cross Animal Hospital to anyone who wants excellent health care for their pets at a great price. Dr. Eagelsome & Dr. O’Meara are both amazing, compassionate, straightforward and friendly vets who seem to truly care about the animals they are treating. I always try to book my appointments with either of them because my dogs, who are normally very nervous around strangers, are completely at ease with both of them.
The staff at the front desk are also very friendly and great to deal with!
I am moving across the city very soon but will still be making the trip to the Blue Cross when ever my pets need veterinary care because I love this clinic so much.

I’ve been a client for two years and my experience has been hit or miss but the misses now outweigh our good experiences.
1. Our very first experience was absolutely terrible. The vet only did a cursory examination and merely glanced at her nose, ears and eyes. I did complain via email and it was very promptly addressed. A credit was applied to our account and we were introduced to another vet who did a fantastic job of looking over our puppy. He thoroughly examined her ears, nose, eyes, pubic area, heartbeat (told us she had a heart murmor which was subsequently disputed by other vets at the hospital at subsequent visits … sigh). But I felt he did what he should have done.
2. Her spay was well priced and we didn’t have any issues with the surgery or the healing. Well done.
3. She reacted adversely to her adult DHPP vaccine and they provided good post-​injection support. The next year, she was given a two year DHPP vaccine by a fantastic vet that spent so much time discussing the issue with me and explaining why she was going with a two year vaccine.
4. On the most recent visit one year later, the doctor gave her another DHPP vaccine shot instead of her annual rabies shot. I only realized this at the end of the day when reviewing the invoice (my wife had taken her to the vet) and I spoke to the vet and he apologized for his error. Given how poorly she reacted the first time and the care that the vet provided in administering the shot in the second year, I would have expected both the front office staff and the vet to be extremely conscientious in treating her.
I’ve written to the Blue Cross Animal Hospital about my most recent issue and am considering lodging a formal complaint against the Hospital and the vet but will wait for their response.

I’ve been going to Blue Cross for years with my dogs even though it’s out of the way for me. It’s worth the drive. Dr. Tanney (sp?) was a life-​saver. Literally. Now Dr. Eaglesome is our vet and she is absolutely wonderful. She is so compassionate and straightforward. Her honesty and integrity really stand out. My dogs drag me in the door to get to her and the rest of the staff, who are amazing.
I love these people and wouldn’t trust anyone else with my dogs.

Dirty crowded place, I always felt rushed by the vets here. There is no parking on site. Never felt like my cat was loved by anyone here. Always had to wait in the waiting room packed with weird people and their filthy dogs. The prices are comparable to other vets clinics in the area.

Friendly staff and fantastic vets. The vet calls you themselves to discuss the animals health and provide you with no hassle options with fair prices. They show they care snout your pet — highly recommended.
