Left With NOTHING!: I took a sick, but live cat in. The vet wanted to test, then treat. The vet took the cat away from me and came back wanting to keep it until some of the test results were in. I paid immediately. They charged me over $700. "Technician's services" was the only item on the invoice. I never received an itemized invoice of exactly what I paid for. They called me to pick the cat up. The cat had been there for about 5 hours. I picked the cat up and paid for a steroid shot they said they gave it and antibiotics which the cat was supposed to start on the next morning. I took the cat home and called later that night to say the cat was having trouble breathing. Reception told me to take the cat to an emergency vet. I had already spent $800 that day for them to help the cat. I'm not made of money. The cat died about 8 hours after I'd brought it home from that place. I called the next day, in shock, to find out the tests results. I was told some, not all of the results and given no precise diagnosis. I called after to find out more about the test and a receptionist said she'd have a grief counsellor call me. I didn't get much grief counselling either. I called the "counsellor" about a week later and was told if I wasn't over it by now, I should see a family doctor or a psychiatrist. No immediate treatment for the cat. No itemized invoice of what I paid for. No heads up that the cat could die at any moment. No refund on antibiotics. No substantial explanations. No real grief counselling. NO CAT! NOTHING! My cat and I were processed through that place as though we were inanimate objects.

A litte weird & over priced: The vet doctor rubbed her face in my pet's face! I can understand a vet trying to make the pet comfortable but even my cat looked at me like "what is this person doing???". Price was significantly more than average for a visit. Go to Blue Cross Animal Hospital.

This clinic gave bad advice!: I recently called this clinic when my cat's back legs stopped working, with accompanying howls and heavy breathing. The person who answered the phone at the clinic just told me to watch him overnight and call in the morning if there was still a problem. It turns out the cat had a lethal blood clot and required immediate attention, was rushed later to the emergency hospital and had to be put down after suffering for several hours without medical attention.

Rude, incompetent and dishonest!: These people have no regard for either professional veterinary practice or just plain honesty... a friend of mine (Peter B.) took his cat in for a routine procedure, only to have the clinic accidentally kill his beloved pet. Then, when he simply asked to take the body home, they kept him waiting for ages while they dealt with other customers. Then they flat out lied to the College of Veterinarians in claiming I had never called them about my very sick and ailing cat - who had to be subsequently euthanized after suffering in terrible pain for hours without medical attention - and to this day, they refuse to apologize or even acknowledge my initial distressed phone call reporting his dire symptoms.... great place, eh? I'd avoid them at all costs if I were you!
