How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Eglinton Veterinary Facilities

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.

My puppy had such a positive experience getting her 2nd round of shots done with Dr. Bateman today. She was so kind and thoroughly discussed any concerns we had. Ellie is looking forward to her next visit.

I'm so grateful that my close circle recommended Eglinton Vet. The compassion and care my cat and I have received has been completely different compared to other vets I've seen before. They've presented clear interpretation of my cats medical records, respected her boundaries and has not pushed expensive treatments that would result in unnecessary stress for her. They have also been so responsive whenever I've called for advice. 11/10 would recommend!

It's never easy when your pet is sick, but the staff at Eglinton Vet took such great care of Sammy (and us). We could always get in to see a vet. The docs and techs and front desk staff were so empathetic and you could tell they really love what they do. When it was time for Sammy to leave, it was a bit of a crisis, I called the vet and pressed '1' for 'pet in distress.' Five minutes later I was met by two techs outside the vet. Sammy was seen immediately and our options were reviewed. Dr. Josh Skapinker, who had been seeing Sam for his heart failure, is..I mean there are just no words. He's definitely in the right profession. If I can ever stomach the hurt of giving my heart to another dog, Eglinton Vet and Josh will be our first choice for vet. We are so grateful for the Eglinton Vet team and recommend them above any other.

The best Vet around Yonge and Eg no question! The staff are always polite and professional, it’s a very convenient location and their hours are awesome! Would definitely recommend this vet to anyone in the area! (I asked Cloud what he thought and I translated it into English for the review)

Excellent! All the staff we encountered were very nice to Evie and I, namely, ( sorry if I spell wrong) Aileen, Melanie, Cassandra (phone), the female (vet?) student, and Dr.Jessica, without feeling forced. Dr.Jessica took her time in Evie's physical assessment. She also did not rush at all but encouraged questions and concerns about my dog in a nice conversation, being a first time patient. She also put effort in educating me with procedures, vaccines and options for my dog's care without being pushy. The price was reasonable. All of them were very personable and respectful to me and my pet. Their environment encouraged my dog to behave well. They gave a lot of treats and compliments to my dog. I recommend them.
