We are so grateful for the wonderful service that we have received from Central Oshawa Animal Hospital over the years. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a veterinarian at affordable prices and compassionate care.

The doctor and staffs at Central Oshawa Animal Hospital very knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. They are reasonably priced for the exam, diagnostic work, and the medications. They open six days a week so we can always find a convenience time to visit the clinic. I highly recommend this clinic!

Only rating a 1 because I can't rate 0. I've been using Central Oshawa Animal Hospital for roughly 8 years and I'm currently switching Vets. This is the most unprofessional sad excuse for a Vet office. When I first started going here it was fantastic but with each and every visit it has been getting worse. They officially lost me and my 4 pets as clients yesterday. Last week I went to pickup my cats supplement only to find a note on the door "Lunch 12:30pm-1:30pm Call for emergency" which is fine, but I was there at noon.. Yet the doors were locked. So I left and decided I'd come back the following week, no big deal. Yesterday I called at 2pm to make sure someone would be there and I spoke to the front desk/Tech (Shania) about picking up my cats medication at 4:45pm she told me "we close at 5pm" I said "yes, I will be there at 4:45pm" I show up at 4:40pm to all the lights off and doors locked. But it's not 5pm and you knew I was coming? I called and knocked on the door, only to have Dr. Grewal call me back and say "Shania wanted to leave early, nobody is there and I am at a different clinic" so you were AWARE I was coming to pickup at 4:45pm but left early anyways... Make it make sense. But wait, there's more. I go home to contact another Vet about getting my cats medication somewhere else and in doing so I noticed that the supplement Dr. Grewal gave my sick cat in AUGUST 2024 expired in MAY 2024. So, you gave my very sick cat an expired supplement for his kidneys after telling us he has kidney disease. Officially lost me as a client. I got a snarly phone call this morning from the Shania saying I could come anytime today to pickup my cats supplement. No thank you. I'll be switching Vets today and letting everyone that I recommended this office to in this past know that they should also look elsewhere. The office is out dated, only 1 exam room, there is constantly new Vet Techs there... Not to mention we have witnessed Dr. Grewal in person belittle his staff infront of us as if they didn't know how to put ink in the printer. 10/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND. Go elsewhere and save yourself the headache, lack of compassion and money for potentially expired medication. If you do go here, I highly recommend you check the dates on anything prescribed. Dr. Grewal is aware of what happened and doesn't even have the decency to call and apologize. Do. Not. Go. Here.

This animal hospital is conveniently located! The staff is knowledgeable, kind, and truly cares about pets and their owners. The vet takes the time to explain everything clearly and provide great, personalized care. The clinic is welcoming. Whether it’s a routine visit or a new visit, they always go above and beyond. Highly recommend for anyone looking for top-notch care for their pet in Oshawa!

I would recommend this clinic to everyone. It looks a very small clinic, but the vet is very gentle to help seniors. My daughter did her co-op in the summer. A dog came in an emergency situation and the doctor treated the dog even after the business hours. The doctor also followed up until the dog was well recovered without any extra charges.
