Laurelwood Veterinary Hospital

We have been taking our pets to Laurelwood Veterinary Clinic since 2004 and our sweet dog, Lily, was one of their first animals they took care of. She had Addison’s Disease which they were able to diagnose shortly after taking her on as a patient; we always felt like we were in the best hands with her. We now have three cats, two of them being Siamese. One is a bit naughty, and Dr. Carey and Dr. Rideout have helped us figure how to deal with Joey’s extra ‘energy.’ Now, a week and a half ago, our second Siamese, Nemo, the sweetest cat you will ever meet, became gravely ill. Dr. Rideout has worked so diligently to figure out what is going on. Nemo is an enigma; she even had other vets look at him all the while she was thinking about the costs for me. Dr. Rideout has been a rockstar throughout Nemo’s entire illness. I know that our animals are always in the best hands at Laurelwood no matter who is working with our fur babies: Dr. Carey, Dr. Rideout, Dr. Knight, Dr. Whilhelm, or Dr. Pender. In addition, the office staff are incredible. They are very professional answering the phone and always are so delightful to deal with. They are the engine that makes the rest of the office work. I know I will be greeted by the most polite people who will be helpful. Everyone is caring, professional, and treats my animals as thought they are their own. I implicitly trust all of them with my animals, and that says a lot.

Fantastic vet in north Waterloo. They are really kind and knowledgeable with our dog. Highly recommended if you just got a new dog or cat. They also host puppy training classes here for an additional fee but it's a great way to get your furry friend used to some commands

The entire team at Laurelwwood Veterinary are exceptional. They are compassionate, dedicated, kind and gentle. There is nowhere else I would take my furbaby. From the first day we took in our 8 week old puppy to the day 10 years later they helped him go over the Rainbow Bridge, they went over and beyond to take care of our boy. We will forever be grateful to them

Our Little Miss Kitty could not have gotten care from a more trusting and compassionate team of professionals, than at Laurelwood Veterinary. They are always friendly, very knowledgeable, and have an amazing caring support system. They treat every furry friend that comes through the door like the family member they are. So highly recommended. Special thanks to Dr Kathleen Knight who at an extremely difficult time made it possible for us to deal with having to put Kitty down. We will never forget how her gentle hands soothed our scared little Kitty, she's truly a compassionate doctor and wonderful person.

It’s hard having a pet, I feel like I am never doing enough - and so many vets try to scam people out of money and don’t care enough. Laurelwood is probably one of the best spots in my city. They show compassion, they’re transparent, and charge normal amounts. The building is huge and clean. The doctors and staff are so caring, and answer emails and calls fast. They just make me feel at ease!
