This is an exceptional veterinarian practice! Everyone from the vet, vet techs & administration are phenomenal. They really care about your animal's and go above and beyond the services they offer. They also offer prices for low income earners such as myself. My precious cat Felix was on death's door, and within 2 days of working closely with him with love and expertise, we've been able to turn a corner with a much brighter prognosis. Thank you to everyone at the hospital!

The staff here are really wonderful. I live in Guelph and I travel to use their clinic, just because of the great service. So kind and professional; they all clearly love their jobs and love helping animals.

EVAH is wonderful! Dr.Martha is very friendly to both “hooman” and pet, I have taken both dogs to EVAH when they do their monthly clinic in Lively, ON for both a spay and a neuter and everything went so great. My older dog was done 6 years ago and even back then they were wonderful. They are very thorough, very patient and kind. They tell you not to worry about anything with ANY question to reach out or send them photos via email and they are SO quick to respond. I highly recommend EVAH to ANYONE with a dog or cat family member, not only was my anxious puppy comfortable there with the staff my older protective anxious dog(Toby) went there recently for a checkup and was talking up a storm with Dr.Martha and they had a very detailed conversation with one another, she sat on the floor with him and they chatted LOL. I loved it, to see both animals well cared for, well loved and calm during their stay at EVAH made me very at ease and happy with these ladies. Pick EVAH, you will NOT be disappointed. Thank you ladies!
