How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Beechwood Animal Hospital

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.

We are new to Canada, and I had multiple terrible experiences living in Malta before. I am so glad I am going to Beechwood Animal Hospital now! The staff is so nice and sweet. 😍 They gave all the love and care to my dog with multiple treats before touching him to make sure he wouldn't be scared. Even the vet took three minutes to play with him and pat him before starting the appointment to make sure he wasn't afraid. This is exactly what I was always looking for: competent, nice, and genuine people who love dogs and work at a clinic. I highly recommend this amazing pet clinic.

Lovely staff and comforting space. I had one of my pet rats euthanized here in January, and the other passed at home and was cremated in May. It's a bit pricey, but I think that's to be expected of a veterinary service anyway. The only reason it loses one star for me is because the first time I had one of my girls cremated, they said ink pawprints would be included and when I got home they weren't in the bag. I was absolutely devastated at first, but then called, and they said they had the pawprints, but I had to come pick them up. The second time I was there, I had to ask them to check that the pawprints were in the bag, and when they looked, the pawprints were not in there and they had to go and grab them. Both of the times this ordeal happened, I found it to be quite upsetting, especially because I was picking up the remains of my beloved pets. I think as a business they deserve five stars but for my personal experience it's only four. Photo included is the beautiful urns of my two sweet girls.

I wasn’t impressed at all I was in for a check up with my 7 year old Yorkie. My main concern was his teeth. Dr. Nightingale looked at his eyes then listened to his heart and checked his hind legs and abdomen and said your dog is in good health. I had to ask him to check his teeth and ears and gave me a price to get a dental cleaning which is totally ridiculous over $2000 and more if they need teeth extraction. I had to ask the receptionist if I could weigh my dog so he did it for me. That should be automatic for a Vet to do a total check up for the price we pay which was 158$. It’s the first time it happens usually the service is excellent. But Dr. Nightingale gave me good advice on what kind of food to feed my dog.

Dr. Poulin saved my chinchilla's life. After fighting a bone infection, he's back to 100%. All of the staff are super kind, super friendly, and nothing unnecessary is pushed onto clients. Thank you so much to everyone that works there!!
