Toronto Animal Health Partners Emergency and Specialty Hospital

We brought one of our babies in early this Saturday morning because he seemed to have swallowed something that was causing some irritation in his throat. From the initial phone call to the end of the visit, the staff at Animal Health Partners were so kind and compassionate. He was seen almost immediately. The emergency vet who looked at him (I don't remember her name as we were so anxious about our baby!) was very kind and clear when explaining her full assessment, potential diagnoses, and the treatment options available. She also very clearly outlined the costs associated with each treatment option before we made a decision. She didn't make us feel pressured to pick the most expensive and extensive option. This was the best (and hopefully only) experience with an emergency vet we could have asked for. Our boy seemed improved immediately after treatment and is feeling much better now. Thank you, Animal Health Partners!!!

Unfortunately, I had to visit this clinic twice in a month for my girl, Nacho. As stressful and traumatic as the visits were, I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Gendron and Dr. Tsan. They were fast, despite being very busy with other emergencies, they took their time, not once making me feel rushed, they were deeply empathetic and very knowledgeable. I had to say goodbye to my life partner, my best friend, my sweet little Nacho after 16 years and it was unimaginably difficult, but Dr. Gendron showed so much compassion and made the process very smooth. I’ve worked at vet clinics and have had to help others through this but to be on the receiving end was unimaginably difficult. That said, the team made it much less traumatic then it could have been. Thank you everyone who was a part of Nacho’s journey. We love and appreciate you guys. To future clients, yes you may have to wait, yes you may not hear news for a while, but it’s not for lack of caring on their end, it’s because they are so deeply thorough with their patients and they make sure to give everyone the needed attention based on emergency-status. And lastly, yes there is an emergency fee that you might not be charged elsewhere, but these guys take really good care of your fur kids, they’re thorough, kind and knowledgeable. I’ve worked at a practice that was not and you can really tell the difference. Thank you to everyone here, wishing you all the very best in the new year.♥️🐾

My cat got referred here for a CT scan due to having issues breathing since being only a few months old. He was on a path of being treated for chronic rhinitis and a CT was basically the last chance to find something wrong. Dr Gold and the intern we had were great with explaining everything and we went ahead with a CT and scope. She managed to locate foreign material in his nasal passageway and removed it. His surgery took way longer than projected because of the complexity, but I’m very grateful for the time and care was spent on him during his procedure. I got a call right after he was done to explain her findings thoroughly. He was sent home in a blanket from the hospital, and home care was explained well. Multiple follow up emails/calls from his Dr. He’s been perfect ever since. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for great pet care :)

I took my cat Trixie here early in the morning due to her seizures. They saw her immediately. All the staff were very kind and caring. Dr. Greg Kilburn saw Trixie and she was able to get an MRI that same morning. She came home that same day and recovered nicely. Great staff here and lots of communication:)

Compassionate & capable team! Dr. Kilburn operated on my dog for a herniated disk 2 years ago, who had a great recovery. It was a scary time not being sure if he would be able to walk normally & be pain-free again. Additionally, a tonsil mass was discovered during the surgical prep, which was later removed & followed up by Dr. Reynolds. The level of care with explaining the 2 issues & the benefit/risks really helped us feel comfortable with the decisions for both procedures. Now at almost 14, Finn still gets comments on his bouncy, happy walk & is such a joy. We are so grateful.
