Preventive care

It is never easy to hear something is going on with your furry family member but it is such a relief to have a doctor and hospital you can trust! I have been coming to Dundas West Animal hospital for 5 years now and can say with confidence regardless of where I live I will keep coming back! I have worked with various doctors here and all of them have been very supportive, compassionate and informative. Recently I have brought in my 11 year old beagle in to see Dr. Aaron and it turned out my old girl had cancerous mass. Dr. Aaron was incredibly supportive mentally and emotionally. He took the time to calmly explain the situation, answer my many dumb questions and walk me through next steps. Even though it is sad news and a stressful time, I am incredibly grateful to have an advocate like Dr. Aaron that I trust and can lean on for support! I appreciate all that he and the lovely staff at Dundas West Animal Hospital do for mine and others furry friends! Highly recommend a visit!

We have been taking my kitties to DWAH for close to 15 years and have always been happy with the care. A special shoutout to Dr. Do who was so patient with 2 high strung rescues and me at their recent health check. She took the time to answer all questions, and when bearing less than good news did so with the utmost professionalism and caring. She followed up with a detailed explanation by phone explaining bloodwork results and charting a plan forward. The new cat hospital attached to DWAH is gorgeous, and such a serene calm environment.

Best veterinary in all GTA. After trying so many places I’m so happy that I’ve found Dundas West Animal Hospital. From the very first time I called in to book the appointment, Andrew impressed me and made feel that I was being valued as a client. And Doctor Kay is amazing. I cannot be happier with the service and the care of my dog. I highly appreciate all they’ve done with my dog and I recommend them 1000%. They went above and beyond with absolutely everything. Thank you Dr. Kay. I’m so blessed and I would never go anywhere else.

Two weeks ago I was sent to Dundas West hospital as my regular vet was too busy. My elderly dog was quite sick. Not only did we get the immediate service we needed, but also the answers we may have not have wanted, but in a kind, gentle and supportive way. Dr. Fuller was amazing. Sweet, informative, kind and loving to my dog and supported me in making a difficult decision. Although my elderly dog passed last week, I have transferred care to Dundas West for my 4 month old puppy. Again Dr. Fuller was amazing and the technician Ryan was so caring and kind. I felt so supported. In the busy and crazy world we now live in, I feel like I got the personal service I needed at Dundas West, with a gentle kind family like manner that every pet and animal owner deserve. Thank you for restoring my trust. Dr. B. Fuller and Ryan, you are AWESOME!

I HIGHLY recommend DWAH. I had an emergency situation, life or death, and their entire staff were so kind, caring and compassionate. Without the genuine empathy and understanding from Dr Kay I would have been a complete mess. They gave him such phenomenal care, and I truly believe if we had gone anywhere else, he would not be home right now recovering from surgery. Dr Do also gets an honorable mention as she was in charge of his surgery, she was incredibly kind, and did an amazing job. The vet techs were also just so sweet, giving him all the love during his stay. They really are the best, and from the bottom of my heart I will always be so incredibly grateful to every single one of their staff that was on my little guys case.
