Preventive care
Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.
Compare prescription pricing
Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.
Consider pet insurance

I wanted to take the time to acknowledge the excellent service we received today from Dr. Lucie. I can’t say enough good things about the quality of care we received while visiting with our boy Percy. She took the time, provided options, and instilled such confidence in us making the best decisions for our cat. Her knowledge is obvious and she is just a really wonderful person! I left there feeling informed and very pleased with our plan for Perc. ❤️.

I brought my cat in because she had stopped eating and seemed to be struggling to breathe. The vet assured me her breathing was fine and healthy, stating that her lack of appetite was a result of stress from a heart murmur. However, it was clear she was having difficulty breathing. I shared a video with the others and later with the emergency animal hospital (where she had to be admitted 2 weeks later as she got worse), where they all agreed her breathing appeared abnormal. Tragically, she passed away two and a half weeks after that initial visit, just a day before her 10th birthday. If I had known about her condition sooner, it might have saved her life. I genuinely believe the vet's negligence contributed to her death.

Found a tick on My dog and panicked as I could not find our tick key. Called up our regular vet (Greenvank Animal Hospital) , who promptly told me I need an appointment (1.5hrs time) or I could come get a key and do it myself. Arrived at the clinic 5 mins later, no pets in the waiting room, clinic rooms or coming in the door. The 3 vet techs and receptionist said they could not/would nothelp me, gave me a tick key pointed me to a bathroom and told me to follow instructions. I was told to flush it when done, that nobody does testing on ticks anymore. I phoned another clinic, told them I was a patient at another clinic and asked for information. Was told that I should get my dog tested after 6 weeks to be sure Lyme and no other diseases were present, as proteins would be present at that time. I am completely furious at the lack of service, compassion and out right not caring about my pet. I am searching for a new vet so taking suggestions however Greenbank animal hospital will NOT be getting anymore of my business as they OBVIOUSLY do not care about the health of their patients!!!

Amazing quality of care! The vet, the vet tech, even the front desk staff were incredibly caring and compassionate to our cats. They took the time to answer all of our questions and address any concerns. I would highly recommend this vet clinic to anyone looking for pet care. Thank you, Greenbank Animal Hospital!

I have many dogs and have needed care for all of them and have been to many veterinary clinics in and around Ottawa. Greenbank Animal Hospital and the sister clinic in Manotick are by far the best clinics I have ever taken my dogs to. Staff are friendly and professional and the Veterinary Doctors, especially Dr Shibata, are very good and care soo much about all our pets. I highly recommend this place and believe they are also one of the few places in Ottawa that are not corporately owned. (Side note: avoid VCA corporate clinics if you don't want you and your pet to be treated like a number)
