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

I want to give a huge and heartfelt thank you to Dr. Hannah and Lyndsey for everything that they (Dryden Veterinary Services) have done for my Danny Boy. I think they have improved his life many times over. I'm Danny's 4th owner. He had lived a long life. In the winter, he had to have all of his teeth removed because they were all rotten and twisted in his mouth, and he was in so much pain and suffering. He left the clinic a new dog LOL. Happy and feeling special that he got to eat wet food! As i said, I am his fourth owner and Dr. Hannah and Lyndsey remembered the names of the past three owners all of which were related to me! It was passed closing time & I was panicking. When I called & spoke to Hannah and I told her that the dog's name was Danny Boy she immediately knew who he was! It never ceases to amaze me how well they know their clients! Every patient is special to them. Danny was not acting like himself. He had tried walking a few times late in the afternoon and collapsed completely, all fours went out from beneath him. It was hot inside because had the oven on and his thick coat was making him too hot so I managed to coax him outside and poor Danny always aimed to please, he made it outside but barely, all four legs were shaking and he fell a few times but he got outside where was a lot cooler for him. They both knew immediately who he was, he's a special dog and they remembered him well! He literally let them do anything to him, it's like he knew and trusted them to help him! I don't want to get too much into the details but Hannah and Lyndsey made things so much easier for me and Danny even managed to wag his tail when he seen Hannah, that was the most he was like himself yesterday then he had been all day. I'm not sure what happened, I think he ĺhad a stroke But anyway, they took such good care of him and I got to say goodbye to Danny. He left this world in a peaceful, calm atmosphere with three people who loved him. I don't have much in this world, I'm on disability and I am a senior citizen but one thing I know is that when it comes to our fur-babies, they deserve the very best & Dryden Veterinary Services is the best! Hannah & Lyndsey were exceptional & extremely caring. No Wonder people come from Thunder Bay, Kenora & Fort Frances just to see the Veterinarians, assistants & all the staff at DVS!!! Thank you so very much for making a very difficult evening just a little bit easier. Now comes the hard part, going back inside, cleaning out all his stuff, & facing an empty apartment. I stayed up all night, outside & inconsolable. Now the REALLY difficult times are to come, facing each day without Danny. Wendy Boudreau

Dr. Springett answered every question before we even voiced it, listed the prices of each test with each suggestions, and gave an idea of how important each test was to our personal circumstance with our cat. He made sure we did not feel guilty if we decided to forgo a certain procedure/exam/test. Our cat felt as comfortable around him as he does any adult while within his own house. The prices were absolutely fair and reasonable. Oh, and the complimentary coffee was great :) Thank you, DVS!

Max my King Charles was seen by Dr Springett for Blastomycosis and good thing they could took him in such short notice because he was in very poor shape. The technician was amazing, kind, helpful and so knowledgeable, thank you to everyone 🙏

Kind, caring, knowledgeable. I trust Dryden Veterinary Services and Dr. Springett 100%. They've been providing excellent care to my dog for a decade now and as she grows older and her health needs become more complex, I know they'll be there to help me make the best choices for her. This whole office is full of wonderful people!

Absolutely great staff and affordable. The staff were understanding and non-judgemental. My dog was getting neutered, and while he was under anesthesia they got rid of some small matt’s behind his ear that I couldn’t do myself (I was going to ask them too but forgot, so you can imagine how happy i was). On top of that I was calling a lot prior to the appointment because of anxiety and they answered every single question for me. Very thankful for the experience!!
