Angela Collins

Dr. Ward really is amazing! She went above and beyond to help my 14 year old step daughter during a storm and power outatge. My step daughter contacted me here in Winnipeg 2 evenings ago, that her 6 year old cat had all of a sudden started to walk into walls and really act weird. Me living 200km away didn't know what to do to help her. I contacted Dr. Ward and she was more then accommodating, she came into the clinic and helped my step daughter through a really hard time. Unfortunately, there was nothing that could be done and my step daughters cat passed away. Just knowing Dr. Ward was there to try and help and give support meant alot to my step daughters dad and I. We highly recommend Kenora Vet Clinic

We called to get shots for our dog and they were able to fit us in same day. Busy spot but they got everything done fast.

Jared Gauthier

Great, friendly staff!

Lindsay Cochrane

My dog managed to get a pretty good cut in between her toes today. Even without an appointment, from the time that I made the initial phone call to when I had her home, it was under 2 hours, sedation and stitches included. They took great care of her, and we have a clear follow up plan in place.

Don McCormick

We have been taking our family pets here since 1989 and have found them to be nothing short of Incredible, Caring and Compassionate at times when its needed. The care they give our loved one(s) has made us loyal customers for 30 years.

Brye Beeale

For the past 9 years with Leo and 15 plus with Sadie, Biscuit and Tessa the service and professionalism with my dogs has been the best. Amazing and helpful staff throughout the entire clinic !

DianeDeedee Rivers

We have been going here for the last 8 years, great vets and staff. Very compassionate when we have had to put our fur babies down and have gone the extra mile to help us through the difficult times.

The saw my cat on an emergency bases. Pricing was more than fair and services top notch

Erika Christine

Recently moved to Kenora and was rather nervous about taking my skittish cat to a new vet. That feeling didn't last long - it was a great appointment from start to finish - from the comforting office staff to the vet herself. Dr. Soley was incredibly knowledgeable and easy to talk to, and provided a full plan to solve concerns with my cat. They even followed up a day later in case I had any other questions. The cost was far less than I thought as well - so that was nice. They also take COVID precautions and confirm that you are fully vaccinated to enter the exam room - a much appreciated feeling of safety for all. :) Thanks again!

Jo Jo Holiday

Stella decided to swallow sewing needles. Dr.Ward stayed and operated into the evening; kept me informed throughout the entire ordeal, offering choices with care and compassion. As awful as it was I knew our Stella was in good hands and is now recovering. Thank you..

Top notch service

Nancy Barclay

My experience couldn’t have been any better. Everyone was super nice and caring. Ned’s care felt like it was a top priority. Jacqueline was excellent, knowledgeable and took lots of time to explain the blasto. The follow up text messages make me feel like I can reach out if a complication arises.

Lindsy Creedon

I've had very good experiences at this vets office.

Martha Haw

They get you in right away when needed. Always pleseant and caring.

Tyler Lindsay

My golden retriever had a very large infected hot spot area in her hind end area. I phoned at 8 am Monday morning and had her in by 9:30 am. Dr Nef was very professional and caring and went over the treatment so I knew exactly what was required to get the healing done.

Mang Xoxo

5 stars ONLY for Dr. Harrison, thank you! - Front desk staff should be more organized and could work on phone Etiquette.

Holly Morris Kulson

Very professional, great to deal with!

Lenard Whiting

Angela Kuchma

Stephanie Rivers

Always helpful and have given me honest advice

Deborah Bradshaw

So thankful to the staff for squeezing in Hannah this afternoon and staying past closing to make sure she was able to travel home... Hannah decided that a porcupine looked tasty today.

Trevor Jones

The best.

Marisa S

5 stars for my dogs! No pushing me to vaccinate beyond City codes. Discounts for multiple visits. And, i can call any time and discuss a problem with the veterian on call without a fee. I wish we had an avian veterinarian, or one that visits, to get my birds checked without a long drive. Many ppl have birds in Kenora so this would be a great touch and a step up. Still 5 stars because i know they will recommend someone for my pets if it's outside of their expertise!

Matthew Gate

Over priced.

Doug Warkentin

We have taken 4 of our dogs over the years to Kenora Vetenirary Clinic. Each time after hours. Both Dr. Christensen and Dr. Bushuk are amazing doctors. They are kind, compassionate and in each case have fixed our "pups" back to health. An amazing place that I would highly recommend.

Melinda Pawlowski

Everyone that works here is so nice! Keep up the awesome work!

Kendra Pitts

A younger looking vet, named Kaitlin, saved my gerbil Beyoncé after she had external parasites. Kaitlin provided my little Beyoncé with an antiparasitic treatment that saved not only her life but our family.

Shawn Schany

Great place and very xlean!

Brian Mackinnon

Did a good job with our cat, thanks.

Dean

Rather pricey. Maybe best to go when rich yourists have gone

Stacey Hawes

Dr. Ward and her staff took excellent care of our boy during his battle with lymphoma; it was the most challenging experience for my husband and me. They made it all a little easier. Dr. Ward and her team kept communication lines open during his illness, which was so very helpful during such a difficult time. I would highly recommend staying in Kenora to receive care for your pet. They went above and beyond for our boy. We are lucky to have such a highly skilled and educated team in our town.

Snoopy Brown

Amazing caring staff and great service.

Shauna Creswicke

We recently moved to Kenora and Dr. Harrison was recommended. The whole veterinary clinic didn’t disappoint. I was made welcome as soon as we walked in the door. Everyone was professional and Dr. Harrison made our dog so comfortable and at ease. Top marks for everyone

Lori Willis

Staff at the clinic are wonderful. They listen to concerns, helpful and friendly staff

Jill Todd

Took my dog for shots. Very efficient

Marcie Thiessen

Very caring

Kathleen LaRue

Found and adopted a stray kitten and brought him in for a check up the next day. The vet didn’t seem to like that I was from out of town and proceeded to turn an already stressful day into a nightmare. The kitten naturally put up a fuss when having his ears cleaned, to which she stated that he was feisty, feral and I’d have to use lots of discipline (he is incredibly doscile). I asked for tips on how to introduce her to my mother’s cat, not knowing much about cats at the time. She shrugged and replied “Just make sure she doesn’t kill it”. On the other hand, the support staff were lovely and incredibly kind.

Tannis Bell

So impressed with the kindness , caring and expertise we experienced . Info was sent to our vet in Winnipeg for follow up so quickly ! Very grateful!! Maddy and Tannis

Tami Radke

Thank you all for your hard work dedication and love ...

Black Dog Camper

Kenora veterinary clinic was excellent 2 of my dogs [ brothers ] got in a fight minor cuts and infection set in , I took them to Kenora veterinary clinic they took real good care of them , and they healed up in 1 week . highly recommend them

Delaney Heatherington

The new owner has made some great changes to the clinic. Very impressed with everyone I encountered during a routine visit with my dog.

Alan Mundy

Great team here!

R. Barkman

Professional service, patient and empathetic. To Those who complain about high prices, this is a Professional outfit with highly trained staff. Trained professionals who have equipment will not work for cheap. Way to go KVC.!

Shirley Ostashower

We were travelling through the Kenora area when a bald eagle flew into our truck- it was still alive so we scooped him up, found the closest vet clinic and rushed him there. The team at Kenora Vet clinic dropped everything to help the poor bird. They contacted the wildlife sanctuary right away and kept us well informed. If I can get an update on the bird I will post it. I was very happy with all who helped us.

Louise Papadopoulos

I have a very anxious dog and they were fantastic with him and he came out calm and content. And they gave me all the information I needed it was great service especially in these crazy times.

Ronald Sinclair

Great service as always.....very caring staff

Michelle Sangermano

This vet office is absolutely wonderful. I can’t say enough good things about them. I called them 1hr before they closed on a Saturday as I was passing through town and they took my poor sick dog in regardless of their full office. Everyone in the office treated my dog with the upmost care while we were there. They were patient and took their time with her and gave her the medication she needed to feel better and the peace of mind I needed to continue on the 30 hour drive home. Thank you all again so much for fitting us in on such short notice!!

Jess Rheault

Considering that we came in to say goodbye to maxi, I couldn’t ask for anything more to improve the caring and calming atmosphere and staff. The Rainbow Room designated just for these hard times was perfect. I had never experienced that before and had my 12 year old son with me as maxi was his. He had gone back and forth about coming but in the end choose what he knew was going to be hard because he knew maxi needed him. He will never forget those last moments he was able to hold her and say goodbye…and I mean that in the best possible way. Thank you!

Lorene Keable

Asking about Kitten care in Kenora is like pulling teeth. Just 2 months and needing a vac They just confused my learning.

Joey Zero

I have always been happy with Kenora Veterinary Clinic. All the staff are very professional and the Veterinarians are great at dealing with whatever issues we have came in with. Recently, during covid, things got a bit complicated and Goalie needed some special diagnostic work done. However, travel to Winnipeg was not possible. Dr, Harrison dealt with it through phone and internet to work with a Winnipeg Vet Clinic to get our results. Buddy's ongoing arthritis issues have also been eased a lot through the treatment he has received. It's nice to know that all the staff are very familiar with my dogs and that if a problem arises at any time - all I have to do is phone. Even on a Sunday night emergency call several years ago - we got a prompt and helpful response from a Veterinarian. Dr. Christensen carried on a great practise for many years and it is nice to see Dr. Ward and company carrying on the tradition.

sandra herd

Time and compassionate care spent with our two dogs was heartwarming. Dr. Christianson and her staff explained treatment thoroughly to us.

Mary Beacham

Our Siberian Husky needed surgery asap. They got us in as soon as we could get there. Dr. Harrison did a fantastic job! He is healing very well. Thank you so much!

carla atkins

They are always helpful for what I beed

Meggi Mah

I've lived many places and taken my dogs to many vet clinics but this one has been the worst. The vets are utterly indifferent to the animals, they rarely take the time to let them sniff their hands let alone offer a treat to try and get the dogs comfortable. I now completely understand why so many locals take their pets to the vet in Dryden or even to Winnipeg. As soon as Dr. Christenson found out I would be moving in a few months she stopped wanting to treat my dog at all. I had to beg her repeatedly to let us try a new medication so my dog wouldn't keep getting worse. Then she took weeks to "research" it and get back to me. I asked about an x-ray or acupuncture (or anything) for his bad leg and she told me to just wait until I moved. This was months before I was going to move, not days or even weeks. I highly recommend finding a better option for your pet. The stars I did give the clinic is for the rest of the staff- always courteous and helpful.

Great staff..

David Courtney

Fit us in while we were passing through town because our cat was quite sick. The staff were lovely, our cat was very stressed and was too difficult to work with but they gave us some medication for him. Really appreciate it guys you’re awesome

Marc Lapointe

Excellent service for my cat. It was efficient, quick and vet was awesome! I would recommend this clinic for your furry babies ????

Rush Zappa

Staff are great to my dogs - 2 lived till 17+ 3 more over 14 plus a puppy

Phyllis Eikre

Molly was very ill and required emergency surgery. You could tell that the staff loved her and cared about her well being. The surgery and follow up was exceptional. Thank you!

Dorothy Brooks

Thank you so much. We are here on vacation and our dog Cooper had some eye issues. The clinic was fantastic, very good communication, handled Cooper with great care.

Joan Fischer

Very helpful and kind to my blind, very deaf neighbor, who I drove there to have her old cat assessed and treated.

Heidi Bergman

The staff at the Kenora Veterinary Clinic is excellent. They have been so good with my dog who suffers from anxiety and has problems with new people and places. I love the new online system that has been implemented. It makes it so easy to be involved and manage Bert’s care.

Bill Boucher

Very helpful and understanding staff.

Dolores Carlson

Over the years, our cats and now our little old rescue dog have received exceptional care at the clinic from the veterinarians and the techs and staff. Working through this Covid time has added a degree of difficulty for them but they have devised a system that is allowing everyone to carry on and get their pets the help as needed. Much appreciated!

Laura Wright

Awesome people, I wasn't even a client, but I was looking after my sister's cats & needed more prescription cat food, and they were very helpful!

Crystal Kirby-Peloquin

The staff at Kenora Vet Clinic are wonderful. They take great care of our Giants. They are always very patient, kind and supportive. I highly recommend them!

MIC MS

I love being able to make requests online and ask questions. The quick response is amazing. I do wish they had an online payment system as sometimes I get other family to pickup prescriptions and I am often online so its easier to pay that way. A little frustrated. Although I understand that if a animal has not been to a vet in a year a prescription cannot be renewed even though I knew it was an ear infection I had to go through smart.vet (recommended by the Kenora Vet ) because they had no appt available it cost me $135 (for the video call and that vet at smart.vet charged 35 to write a prescription) to send to Kenora vet along with a request for a swab.) On top of the $135 it cost me for the swab and the actual prescription (which is fine). In total for an ear infection it was around $200.00. I wish there was a way to just get the prescription without all this (ear infection is clear after 4 days.) Just like often a parent knows exactly what is wrong with their child many of us know exactly what is wrong with our pets (they often are our children).I love my pet and would do anything for him but what about the people who don't have that kind of money? I get everyone has to be paid just wish there was an easier and more cost effective way. I did try other drops and home remedies before having to get the prescription but none of them worked.

Gilly Derouard

Dr.Harrison and everyone at the Kenora Vet Clinic went above and beyond to provide our puppy with the best care and love possible. Thank you Dr.Harrison for staying with him around the clock and doing everything you possibly could for our baby. Your kindness and the rest of your teams kindness , compassion and dedication will always be remembered and we will always be grateful for everything you did during this excruciating time.

Linda Plamondon

I had a great experience, as did Charlie.

Debby

The car hit my daughter's cat. The vet rushed him into the assessed. There is kindness and thoughtfulness showing to my daughter in this stressful time.

Gwen Carlson

Very pleased with the care and follow-up with the staff at the Kenora Veterinary Clinic. Very welcoming atmosphere at the clinic and would definitely recommend the services to others. ????

Joel Simard

Everyone was very kind and I was able to get the visit done in an efficient and covid friendly manner. Very impressed.

Lisa Lyle

Very caring and professional. Have always been treated well.

Debra Groves

Service was good, was able to get my cat on right away. Staff was very friendly.

Goose Nuts

Worst Veterinary Clinic I have ever brought one of my fur babies to. Chances of getting a decent Vet per visit is minimal. No surgical Vet Staff! Charge you a ton of money before they tell you they don’t have the resources to help. I’ve lived all over Canada…even the Northwest Territories….I have no idea how they are still in business….pathetic …unorganized…overpriced…money gougers!
