Toronto Central Animal Clinic

Dr. Badri and his team are knowledgeable and caring. This is the one place in this big city that I feel the entire team are in it for the love of animals and not for your money. My 11-year old dog had bad teeth, but due to his age, syncope episodes, and breathing issue I wasn't really comfortable to let him go through anesthesia for the process. I could not trust any of clinics I talked to as they seemed more concerned about getting me to sign their risk form and charging me big bucks. Then I was introduced to Dr. Badri who listened to my concerns with care, and talked to me very honestly about pros and cons. After consulting I felt comfortable to trust him with the procedure and I am so glad I did. The procedure took long but went very well and along with the Ozone therapy Zippo received after the procedure, the results are unbelievable. Here isal a photo and video of my dog the next night after 7 teeth extracted and the rest cleaned. He's running and prancing like a puppy only one day after the surgery and I have to calm him down to prevent any complications 😅 I can't thank Toronto Central Animal Clinic- Dr. Badri and his team enough.

Have been taking my 13 year old dog there for just about a year now! With her being so old she has a several health issues and isn’t the nicest to strangers. Regardless the entire team treats her so kindly and gently. They are quick and explain all her health issues, test results, and treatment clearly to us and always listen to any questions we may have. Also their prices for food, medication and treatments are incredibly reasonable. I’m so grateful to have found them, and for taking such good care of my baby!

I love this place. The vets are so friendly and great at their job. They were very careful and attentive with my dog. Also, the price is very fair, I spent around $130 for four vaccines.

There was an article published by Slate recently about how difficult it can be to practice veterinary medicine, between staying afloat financially and experiencing a lack of respect and sometimes, verbal abuse by clients. It inspired me to come here and leave a review about the stand-out, wonderful service my cat Eliot and I have always received from Dr. Badri and his staff, ever since I moved to the area seven years ago. I'm afraid of dogs and worry that my already-anxious-at-the-vet cat will pick up on my fearful energy and make the appointment more difficult - staff are always kind and understanding, scheduling our appointments for when they don't see any large-breed dogs around that time. Eliot is a Bengal and he's strong and fiesty, Dr. Badri and his staff are non-plussed, accommodating and efficient with his shots. Reception staff are warm and welcoming. They always follow up with a call after shots to make sure Eliot is okay with no side effects. You can tell they *genuinely care*. In an industry that has got to have more than it's fair share of difficult moments, Dr. Badri and his staff never waiver in their compassion, professionalism and kindness. A wonderful practice to trust your furry/feathered family members with. Thank you!!

I really don't like writing negative reviews. It's been several days since I've visited the clinic and the uncomfortable experience still sticks with me. Long story short, I felt overcharged and scammed. There was a treatment that was ordered even though I hesitated and didn't actually say "yes". The pills were given on the basis of speculation and it's been days and they haven't worked. Further, the doctor advised that I do "another" test for a urine sample as ONE kidney value seemed off (all other values were normal). I informed them that my dog is on heart medication and he just had his kidney values checked. Nonetheless, looking for another reason to charge.. I ended up calling my dog's cardiologist and sending the report - the value related to the kidney can also be an indicator for many other things and thus the cardiologists don't even check for it as it can be attributed to so many other causes. I just find it awful how some vets prey on people's emotional vulnerabilities as it concerns their pets. I wouldn't go here again.
