How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Kawartha Veterinary Emergency Clinic
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.
Compare prescription pricing
Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.
Consider pet insurance
Pet insurance may help cover a portion of eligible veterinary expenses depending on the plan, including accidents, illnesses, and in some cases preventive care. Coverage details, reimbursement levels, and deductibles vary by provider.

We brought our little girl into this clinic Dec 30/2024…When we called they accepted us to come as soon as we could get there, we had an hour drive….We were impressed with how the staff greeted us, support staff pleasant and professional. They took our girl right away for assessment. Dr Vicki Cane spoke to us and gave us her thoughts. So empathetic to our situation, down to earth when explaining her thoughts she also, very professional. She treated her with what she could and offered us to come back if things changed…we were pleasantly surprised with the bill expecting so much more. Unfortunately we had to say goodbye to our little girl on December 31. We wish we could have come back but was just too far for us to drive heartbroken. Thank you to all…you are all amazing.

I can’t thank the team at Kawartha Veterinary Emergency Clinic enough for their kindness and support during one of the most difficult times of our lives. Our beloved pup Ringo was in their care, and the compassion they showed to both him and our family was truly remarkable. They were gentle, patient, and went out of their way to make sure we understood every step of the process. While we had to make the hardest decision any pet owner could face, the staff provided such comfort and care throughout the entire experience. Their empathy and professionalism gave us peace of mind during a heartbreaking time. We felt fully supported and never rushed, and we’re so grateful for their understanding. We highly recommend Kawartha Veterinary Emergency Clinic to anyone needing care for their pets. Their dedication to both the animals and the families they serve is unparalleled.

My 14 year old cat Richard got really sick for a couple days and on the final day we knew it was the end and we rushed her to the Kawartha Veterinary Emergency Clinic. When we got there the place was totally packed but they took Richard in right away!!! We unfortunately had to have her euthanized but the staff there was incredible!! The vet was petting her as she was giving her the doses. Today I received in the mail a card from them where the staff had actually written handwritten condolences which was so sweet and we got 2 ink paw prints. I was happy with the exceptional service and friendliness of all the staff. Keep up the good work 🥰🥰

My dog got messed up by a porcupine really bad and this was the closest place open on a Saturday night by Tweed Ontario. The staff was very calm and helpful. The vet spent 4 hours taking around 250 quills out of my dogs face, mouth neck and leg. They were real life savers and I am very grateful!

Wish I could write -5 stars :)... took my 10 MONTH OLD LAB (Cyndie)... Who just got stung by a bee, in just for a quick exam and to get the swelling down.... and they wrote her down as a 10 YEAR OLD LAB.... So that was a huge red flag.... then after the appointment, I come home to find out that the BEE STINGER IS STILL STUCK IN HER TONGUE!?!?!?!?! Actually un qualified idiots. I want a full refund. EDIT: Came back because Cyndie had problems with her pancreas. Cyndie stayed the night and is slowly feeling better now and they did do a good job on the service and taking care of my baby. However, when I picked Cyndie up they tried to convince me to change my first review because it "Hurt" them, and was told about 3 different excuses for the bee sting (1. Usually fall out on their own, 2. usually they don't even see it, 3. last reply to this review said I didn't even bring her in for a bee sting specifically.... even though that's LITERALLY why I brought her in) and just excuses about them not hearing me tell them her age. I understand they are minor issues, but if you want me to change my review then do good service AND take accountability. Also REALLY bad timing trying to bring up my past review when I am in such an emotional state trying to pick up my baby. The service was really good with Cyndie this time and even with the bee sting, the issues weren't that bad and I probably was more upset than I should have been. I am not changing my review for now though.
