How to Save on Veterinary Costs at The Kingsway Animal Hospital

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.

Throughout JJ's life, we've been to 4 different veterinary clinics because we moved houses a lot. By far, The Kingsway Animal Hospital is the best. We come from afar (1 hour drive) just to see Dr. Rosemary Draganic. She's amazing and the staff are also amazing. You can tell they genuinely care about your pet. Thank you! 😀

Dr Bayer is a heart-centred pro. Admin got us in within 45 minutes. Had us there for 1 hour and 15 minutes. They helped us nurse our little kitten back to life and gave us special gastrointestinal kitten food she desperately needed. Dr Bayer and loving team deserve their 4.9/5 rating. Their rates are affordable. And no pressure to buy anything else. Definitely recommend.

I returned to The Kingsway Animal Hospital with my cat Strawberry after a six-year absence. Dr. Mayer was wonderful, so calm, patient, and helpful with her suggestions. All of the staff were super friendly and you could tell they have a passion for caring for animals. I would recommend them.

The people working at the KAH are amazing and real professionals. When we took our cat Mia to the KAH for her first examination, she was four months old and she was very restless on the way. But as soon as we crossed the threshold of the hospital, she immediately calmed down and was very pleased during the examination conducted by Dr.Devon Edwards. As is known, cats sense people very well. A few months later we needed to have surgery for our cat... Spaying your cat is a major surgical procedure involving many people who work together as a team. And the KAH team showed themselves at a high level. Immediately after the surgery, Mia was already playing and had good appetite !!!Many thanks to : Alyshia, Marie-Rose,Alex,Krysten! And special thanks to our Dr. Devon Edwards who performed the operation at the highest level !!!

I wish I could provide a positive review as the actual vets have been quite good, however, the woman at the front desk is so difficult and unhelpful that my rating is very low. Today we waited 4 hours for caninsulin to be dispensed for my dog - at double the price than other vets btw. (You can buy caninsulin online for $42). After coming by once at two hours in and waiting 20 minutes we asked them to call when it was ready. They called at 1:30 and when we got to the clinic 7 minutes before close time of 2:00pm on Saturday the closed sign was already on the window and the door was locked. Lucky for us (and them) a younger vet tech finally opened the door when the lady at the desk sat shaking her head no and was clearly not going to get up to open the door. Upon entering and asking for the caninsulin my dog desperately needed because we accidentally dropped the other vial late the previous night the front desk lady proceeded to tell me I was lucky she opened the door and that it was 2:03. I showed her my apple phone indicating that it was 1:57pm and got attitude. I am done with this vet. For my next puppy I will never set foot near this place that will not address this front desk employee. These photos are taken BEFORE 2:00pm as per my real time on my apple iPhone and she was not going to answer the door. Thank goodness for the younger vet tech. (Thank you!!). Otherwise my dog might not have gotten caninsulin for over two days and may have died.
