How to Save Money at South Etobicoke Animal Hospital
Schedule Regular Vet Visits
One of the best ways to save on vet bills is to prevent expensive health issues before they develop. By scheduling regular wellness checkups, your vet can detect health issues early, helping you to avoid costly treatments and surgeries down the road.
Price Shop for Pet Prescriptions
Oftentimes our fur babies are prescribed human drugs off-label. Your vet is apt to charge more for these medications than you would pay at your local pharmacy. In fact, big-box or chain pharmacies can offer steep discounts. So it’s best to price shop.
Pet Insurance
Most pet insurance providers will pay between 80% and 90% of the vet bill. You can even get coverage for routine care and things like vaccinations and dental cleanings. If you do the math, you’ll most likely find that pet insurance makes financial sense in the long run as well as gives you peace of mind.

Get Quotes & CompareGetting to Know Your New Vet: Essential Questions to Ask
Choosing a new veterinarian is an important decision for any pet owner. You want to find someone who is competent, compassionate, and a good fit for you and your fur baby. To help you get the most out of your first appointment, here's a list of essential questions to ask your new vet:
Tell me about your experience with [pet type].
Different vets have different areas of specialization. Some are experts with cats, some dogs, some pocket pets, and some horses. Knowing that your vet has vast experience treating your specific type of pet can bring you peace of mind.
How do you handle emergencies?
You must know what to do in case of a pet medical emergency. Inquire what after-hours policy the clinic has, whether they have on-site emergency care available, and if they have a relationship with any nearby emergency animal hospitals.
How do you communicate with pet owners?
Good communication is key to building a trusting relationship with your vet. Ask how they prefer to communicate (phone calls, emails, online portal) and how often you can expect to hear from them.
Are there any breed-specific health concerns I should be aware of?
Some breeds are predisposed to certain health conditions. Knowing what to watch out for can help you catch problems early and get your pet the treatment they need.
Do you have any questions for me about my pet?
This is a great question to ask because the answer will show that the vet is interested in getting to know your pet as an individual and is willing to listen to your concerns.
Bonus question: Can I take a tour of your facility?
Getting a feel for the clinic's environment can help you and your pet feel more comfortable during your visits. Remember, you’re not just looking for a veterinarian, you’re looking for a partnership. Do not be afraid to ask these questions and any others you can think of. Any vet worth their salt will be happy to answer them. Because the more informed you are, the better equipped you'll be to make decisions about your pet's care! And that should be every vet’s top priority.

The vet was amazing, he was so sweet with my dogs and provided amazing service for a good price. I would definitely recommend. All of the staff was so kind and my dog is doing so much better now. 🤍

My cat had to do a PU surgery due to my carelessness. I want to say thank you for 1000 times to people there for saving my cat's life. They had to work after hours to finish the surgery. The vet explained everything happened to my cat and the detailed procedure of the surgery to me. Due to risk of infection, they even sent me a huge bag of paper litter for emergency use as I only have the one from Costco. I went for recheck with him on Friday and vet told me he is in a good process of healing. Before the recheck, the cat has been refusing to eat anything. But magically after the recheck, he just started to eat. I did not even have a chance to feed him the med for appetite I just got. 😂It has been 5 days after the surgery, I think the cat's energy level is back to normal. BTW, I think the cost is fare at the hospital. Though the surgery and the checking has drained up my saving, I understand that the cost is supposed to be high anyway. After more than half-year now, my other cat has symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea. Went to emergency clinic to get injection and medication. But my other cat was still having low energy level and no appetite for past two days. Magically, I brought him in today and did physical check + get him revolution. Now he is home and willing to walk around and even purring when it's close to me. That place must have some sort of magic to let me cat a feel better just by visiting. This is definitely my go to place if I need help about my cats. 😊😊😊Hope Curry can recover to 100% in a short time. BTW, they respond quick with emails!

I have recently moved my oldest cat Marty to this animal hospital, after having my two rescue cats, now 18-months old, being spayed/neutered by the sister clinic in Scarborough, with follow up at this clinic (closer to were I live), as I was very impressed by the professional and personal attention my two kittens received. Tara, the receptionist, always greets me with a cheery and sincere smile, the technicians have all been wonderful, and the vets are super patient and more than willing to take the time to explain a prognosis, esp. now that my oldest cat has been diagnosed with PKD. I strongly recommend SEA Hospital to all who want their pets to get the best veterinary care, with a group of caring professionals who make me feel like one of the family, along with my furry “kids”.

My dog was limping so I had to make a last minute appointment with my original vet. Unfortunately they couldn't squeeze him in, so I called this location. Thankfully they took him in asap. It was my first time there and I found then to be very nice and thoughtful. They gave me a discount on the bill afterwards which was a happy surprise that I will never forget.

Don't risk bringing your pets here. At my last appointment I found a LIVE TICK on the exam table. Leftover from another exam I suppose? I'm not sure, as no one followed up with me about it. Another cat I know also got fleas here. Everyone at this clinic is really nice and I believe they do care about animals... but don't risk your pets safety here, it's not worth it. Just stay away.
