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.

What a positive experience at this animal hospital! First off, all the staff were wonderful and so helpful. A big shout out to Jesse who was incredibly empathetic, informative and helpful at a time when I was very tired and emotional. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Jesse. Dr Bond was excellent and calming, putting a methodical medical plan in place for our beloved cat Xena. Thank you Dr Bond, means so much to us. I would highly recommend this vet hospital to any pet owner! You won't be disappointed!

We have been going to this vet since February. Everyone has been amazing and loving and caring towards my pup. Because of this, going to the vet is definitely not a scary experience for her. In fact she gets excited when we drive into the parking lot! Recently she had surgery and I was extremely touched that the office sent a card signed by the team. This is a very special place run by animal lovers. Dr Cheryl is phenomenal and the vet techs, assistants, and client reps are absolutely wonderful to work with. I feel like they listen to my concerns, are very accommodating, have great communication, and I am confident my fur baby is getting the best care.

This vets hours are NOT good if you work a 9-5 Mon to Friday. This vets hours are NOT good because they close for extended times around holidays. We rarely see the same vet. We were given moldy medicine once. They make you feel like part of 'the family' by writing your dogs name on a board. Is that what you want? This is private health care. I expect that they would be friendly, listen to your concerns and immediately follow up if your dog attends the Peterborough emergency clinic while they are on vacation. That is not the case. If I'm going to pay money every year for an annual check up which they insist on doing if you want to get flea / tick meds from them, Then I would expect to get support I need from them when my animal is ill. But they prioritize their own time off and money over their clients health.

I’ve used this vet in the past for my cat. Friendly enough doctors, however whoever the secretary was today needs a lesson in manners, communication, and how to sufficiently do her job properly. My partner and I had called to inquire about some health concerns regarding our dog and cat, she was very impatient, wasn’t listing to what we were saying, started filling out an application form without properly understanding the general questions we were attempting to get an answer to. She made a low-key snarky comment that made me sense a general sense of homophobia when my partner had called me her girlfriend. Made us very uncomfortable and then proceeded to try to make us feel bad for her decision to start filling out a new patient application and getting half way through. Needless to say, we got off the phone and called another vet who knew how to answer questions. We will not be returning to this place and we will not be recommending it to others.

Amazing practice! I was able to get my fur kids in within a reasonable amount of time. Knowledgeable friendly staff. Dr. Cheryl is AMAZING! We followed her when she moved! A++
