Very friendly, caring, and knowledgeable staff. Got male cat neutered for under 120inc. taxes. Would highly recommend to everyone
(Translated) Very qualified person gives very good care to your animals (Original) Personnelle très qualifiée donne de très bon soin à vos animaux
Thoughtful staff that are calm and calculated make this sometimes tough experience all that much better. The vets on staff really seem to love the animals they treat.

(Translated) No answer by phone for more than 2 weeks all this for a simple file transfer. Our cat must return to France they gave us bad indications including the rabies vaccine was made before the micro chip that is not consistent for a return to France. They did not even give us the original vaccines and reminder. (Original) Aucune réponse par téléphone depuis plus de 2 semaines tout cela pour un simple transfert de dossier. Notre chat doit rentrer en France ils nous ont donné de mauvaises indications notamment le vaccin de la rage a étais fais avant la micro puce se qui n est pas conforme pour un retour en france. Ils ne nous ont même pas donné les originaux des vaccins et rappel..
My senior dog ended up at an emergency clinic a little over 24h vomiting even water and with an inflated stomach after a routine exam there. The diagnosis at the other clinic was of very advanced kidney failure, which didn't develop overnight. They missed to diagnose it even though I had described several symptoms and behaviors that were abnormal to the vet, and my dog had to be euthanized when she could have received care to ease her suffering way earlier. The vet was incapable of emptying my dog's glands and she had to endure the procedure far too long until the vet finally called a technician who did it in less than 5 minutes. On top of this, the reaction I got from receptionists when I returned to inform them that my dog had died and close the file was cold at best. No sympathy was offered at all. To be fair, a technician there was amazing. He handled my dog with great care and expertise. @clinique Vétérinaire de Hull - actually I did inform you. I handed a letter adressed to the owner of the clinic a while ago. The vet who did the examination called me to apologize but offered no explanation for the missed diagnosis and why it happened. Simply put: because there was no explanation I'm concerned this might happen again to someone else. The fact remains: the diagnosis was incorrect; as a result my dog suffered more than should have; and the follow up afterwards was not adequate in addition to the admin staff who was cold. The reason why I'm posting this now is 1) I believe the public should know 2) similar stories from other pet owners have come to my attention.
This clinic is awesome! Brought my two cats here after an awful experience at another clinic last year. I was very happy with the service. My younger cat has a eye site problem, which has not been diagnosed. Dr. Kader was very honest about the cost and informative about the situation. I did not feel pressured into spending any money I didn’t want and he was honest about his opinion of what was/wasn’t needed regarding the situation. After spending over $1200 in two days on my kitten for a spay last year, it’s a relief finding a good and honest vet ☺️
(Translated) Excellent experience! The staff are highly qualified and friendly. (Original) Excellente expérience! Le personnel est hautement qualifié et aimable.
Excellent care for our dog. Way better prices than Ontario side
It’s easier to get a hold of the pope than staff. Not a smart way to run a business.
Absolutely wonderful. They took care of my cats as if they where their own. The employees even remember my babies names without looking it up.
Left my animal for surgery at 7:30am as per their instruction. Staff told me she would be ready in the afternoon. It's now 3pm and she is just going in... No calls or details. I had to call myself to get details. Thier HR staff is beyond sub par..
Bring my cats here as they have the best spay prices. Hit and miss with reception. Some are very nice, others kind of dismissive and not clear on appointment times.
(Translated) When you need an appointment quickly ... you get it! Super good service, reasonable prices ... and good vets! Thanks to the whole team! (Original) Quand on a besoin d'un rendez-vous rapidement... on l'obtient! Super bon service, prix raisonnables... et bons vets! Merci à toute l'équipe!
Nice place. Reasonable pricing.
So easy to work with! Switched from my Ottawa vet to them and wish I would have done it sooner. Great service at half the cost.
Really great staff and friendly doctors
We've been with them for about 4 years. Like some reviewers mention, it's more difficult to get an appointment than it was a couple of years ago, but the service is always friendly and competent when you do get in.
Friendly staff that are true Animal lovers.
Great vet, excellent service
(Translated) Very friendly and efficient. Thanks on behalf of Charlie! (Original) Très sympathiques et efficaces. Merci de la part de Charlie!
Worst store in canada
I would actually say 4.5 stars., but I can not. The prices, I find are slightly high but the service and quality of care is excellent. Bed side manner since the merger of 2 clinics has gone down a bit but they're good people and these are crankier days, still. Thanks
(Translated) Very welcoming (Original) Tres accueillant
Good and friendly service
(Translated) They don't take new patients so it's like a private clinic. (Original) Ils ne prennent pas de nouveaux patients donc c'est comme une clinique privée.
Always friendly, I have only had one negative experience which left me in tears but when I called back one of the receptionists was super kind and friendly to me, which made me feel better.
(Translated) After two check ups I am disappointed my dog died on a Sunday in Alta vista for a 3 opinion with a specialist she was due service for animals not for the money thank you (Original) Après deux check up je suis déçu ma chienne est décédé un dimanche à Alta vista pour un 3 avis avec spécialiste sa s'était dû service pour animaux pas pour l'argent merci
The best ever !!! Christelle Perrier
Amazing, kind hearted people
Very friendly and professional Love our vet
I brought my healthy 11 month old pup to get spayed at the Hull Veterinary Clinic and she was returned to me sick. Five days post-op she continues to present with an eye infection that didn't exist prior to visiting the clinic and she has a serious cough that is clearly the result of careless intubation. I contacted the clinic and was able to speak to Gen, the manager, but she refused to take any responsibility in the matter. I also asked for a free follow-up but was told I would need to pay the regular fee; after spending over $550. Further, on the day of the surgery, I was informed I could pick her up between the hours of 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. but received a call at 3 p.m. to tell me I wouldn't be able to come until 7 p.m. because their surgery schedule was running late. I had already arranged for transport and work to pick her up at 4 o'clock, so receiving only one hour's notice seems unreasonable to me. I was also told the morning of the surgery that she would be operated on in the a.m., so I don't understand why they didn't phone shortly after noon to advise that they were running late... Too logical, maybe. Once they get paid, they seem to have little value for their customers. Positive note: the front desk staff is friendly enough... but that's not any different from other veterinary offices I've been to.
We had a very good experience taking our cat here. They were super accommodating to last minute appointments and were very professional
I often wait 30 to 40 minutes before seeing someone
(Translated) Very good welcome and competent (Original) Très bonne accueil et compétents
good service, fair prices and respectful.
This is the best veterinary clinic I’ve ever been too. They treat all of my pets and it is very obvious how much all the staff care for each animal that comes to the clinic. Friendly desk service, clean and nice facilities, and great treatment from the techs and vets.
Dr. Kader and staff were absolutely wonderful! They took their time to discuss with me and reassure me that I am doing the best I can. I took my cat there for the first time, as I just got her in the summer after moving to Gatineau/Hull! I have had cats previously but most were while I lived with my parents and had someone with more experience to rely on. They helped me feel encouraged about how and what I have been doing as a pet owner all on my own :)
They always take the absolute best care of my animals!
Great staff and service.. much cheaper than the crooks in ottawa.
This place is great. I don't even live in Hull anymore and I make the 30 minute drive for my two dogs. Prices are better than Ottawa and the bilingual service is great .
(Translated) There was a change of owner and without notifying us, the prices of consultations as well as of all the vaccines were increased. Some are now costing double what they cost last year. In addition, we forgot to extract my dog's hernia during his planned sterilization. To compensate I was offered the cost of anesthesia, but will have to operate our dog a second time. (Original) Il y à eu un changement de propriétaire et sans nous aviser, les prix de consultations ainsi que de tous les vaccins ont été augmenté. Certains coutent maintenant le double de ce qu'ils coutaient l'an dernier. De plus on a oublié d'extraire l'hernie de mon chien lors de sa stérilisation qui était prévue. Pour compenser on m'a offert les frais d'anesthésie, mais devrons faire opérer notre chien une deuxième fois.
Really affordable vet, good service, good doctors.
(Translated) Having had several animals and having visited different clinics in different cities, I can say that The Veterinary Clinic of Hull is an EXCELLENT clinic. In addition to having competent veterinarians, the technicians are always ready and happy to offer their advice by phone or in person. Special mention to Sophie! She is awesome! Always smiling and ready to help you! She recognizes my dog whenever I come to the clinic! Same thing for veterinarians, they remind you and take the time to answer your questions for free over the phone. I personally have never seen this! Usually when you phone in a clinic they offer you a quick appointment instead of trying to help you! Finally, I highly recommend Dr. Chantigny. She is extremely competent, attentive, gentle, but most importantly she takes the time to address all the problems in the same consultation and we do not feel in a hurry to leave. Congratulations to the whole team! (Original) Pour avoir eu plusieurs animaux et avoir consulté différentes cliniques dans différentes villes, je peux dire que La Clinique Vétérinaire de Hull est une EXCELLENTE clinique. En plus d’avoir des vétérinaires compétents, les techniciennes sont toujours prêtes et heureuses d’offrir leurs conseils que ce soit par téléphone ou en personne. Mention spéciale à Sophie! Elle est géniale! Toujours souriante et prête à t’aider! Elle reconnaît mon chien à chaque fois que je me présente à la clinique! Même chose pour les vétérinaires, ils te rappellent et prennent le temps de répondre à tes questions gratuitement au téléphone. Je n'ai personnellement jamais vu cela! Habituellement lorsque tu téléphones dans une clinique ils t’offrent rapidement de prendre rendez-vous au lieu d’essayer de t’aider! Finalement, je recommande fortement Dre Chantigny. Elle est extrêmement compétente, à l’écoute, douce, mais surtout elle prends le temps qu’il faut pour aborder tous les problèmes dans la même consultation et on ne se sent pas pressé de quitter. Bravo à toute l’équipe!
I really liked my experience. We brought in our dog because he had a lump in his throat. They took him right away, and ran the necessary tests immediately. What I appreciated most was how knowledgeable they are. They really know whay they're doing. They are organized, and extremely clean. The only negative comment would be the price! But I guess that's just the reality of properly caring for an animal! *There is a wheelchair accessible entrance.
they love my dog and reasonably priced!
Efficient and helpful
Good service and cheap
Reasonable rates and quality service for pets. Love this place for our dog. Little bit of drive from ottawa but it is so worth it.
Super vet at half price of those on Ontario side. Looked after my cat very well. Will go back.
Great place and staff Jeff is my vet very good insight of what is happening whith my dog glad I met most of you keep up the good work positive vibes ????✌️
Always show so much care for our cats and answer all our questions. They don't judge us on the info and recommends what is good for the cats and tells you where to get it at the best price. Very happy with their service. My one cat is there right now and I feel calm and I'm sure when I pick her up she will be happy.
Great place and the staff are amazing.
Very nice and we'll organized. No waiting. Not sure if people doctors should be more like animal doctors or vice versa.
Very good service at reasonable price
Pupper is always well taken care of.
(Translated) High caliber. (Original) Haut calibre.
(Translated) Very expensive (Original) Tres cher
They are magnificent. I cannot say enough about how lovely, warm and understanding they are. Vets are lovely as are the technicians. Honestly, I wouldn't take my big kittens anywhere else. ????
Every time we have an emergency, they will fit us in right away. Our dog loves the staff as they are so friendly and helpful. Our vet is always super chill and puts our minds at ease. He is very knowledgeable and informative. Weve been using this vet for two years (since we got our boy).. and we greatly appreciate them all!
This is the best veterinarian clinic in the Outaouais region bar none. My 11 year old German Shepherd was very sick and had to be euthanised. While no other vet in Gatineau/Hull/Aylmer would book an appointment for my dog despite the fact that she was suffering, the Clinique Veterinaire de Hull agreed to give her an emergency appointment and to end her suffering. I'm grateful the Veterinarian and the staff at this clinic were so professional and empathetic. Thank you for being there for Maggie Mae. May she rest in peace.
Good people here. I find that they are cheaper then vets in Ottawa.
They charged me for a vet visit but the vet didn’t touch my dog or assess him. they just walked into the room and left. Like huge rip off….this place used to be good but I had a terrible service from them and I won’t go back there
(Translated) Friendly and warm service. Transparent in their procedures and open to questions. I highly recommend! (Original) Service amical et chaleureux. Transparent dans leurs procédures et ouverts aux questions. Je recommande fortement!
Always nice and friendly staff and willing to help out with the smallest issues. I've never had any problems here and have brought all of my pets throughout the years here to get fixed. **EDIT** I wanted to edit this review because recently, one of cats had a emergency and needed surgery and I brought her here. I was worried that because of the pandemic, it would not be possible. I could not of been more wrong, not only did the staff here take tremendous care of my animal but they quickly brought her in, reassured me, and helped me figure out everything I would need during the hard time of taking care of her. For days afterwards they called in the morning to ask how she was doing, if anything was wrong and I could not be more happy with the service offered here. They saved her life, and saved my own throughout one of the hardest times watching her recover. I would give this place ten stars if I could.
I used to love going to see my vet back before the merge, every time I've gone there since they merged the service I receive is horrible, the prices jacked right up, the communication is not there, and they don't have the compassion for animals as they used to. My animal has incredible anxiety to the point it makes every day incredibly difficult for him. I used to love my vet because they helped make him feel safe and make going to the vet not terrifying. The last few times I went they refused to let me be with him because of covid protocol. Before the merge they would make an exception because of the extremity of his anxieties and how badly it affects him after each visit. This time, I was told they would take him to the room and come get me in a few minutes. 30 Minutes later my dog is howling in fear in one of the rooms and no one is responding to my concerns and confusion. Finally, they bring my pet out and he's shaking, terrified and whining. They charged me for a extra service that I did not not request or receive. Then they refused to give me my pets medication without my paying for the extra fee. I told them they were being unprofessional and the response from the manager was quote "yes, we're unprofessional" and completely ignored my concerns about being lied to about going into the room and for charging me a random extra fee. Very disappointed
(Translated) The clinic was able to receive me quickly to help me relieve my dog's skin problems, even if it is not my clinic. She even proposed another shampoo knowing that I react to the one used. In addition, on the day of my appointment, I received a warm welcome. For all of his reasons, I changed the clinic myself. I recommend this clinic to everyone. (Original) La clinique a pu me recevoir rapidement afin de m'aider à soulager les problèmes de peau de mon chien et ce même si ce n'est pas ma clinique. Elle a même proposé un autre shampooing sachant que je réagis à celui utilisé. De plus, le jour de mon rendez-vous, j'ai reçu un bel accueil. Pour toutes ses raisons, j'ai moi-même fait le changement de clinique. Je recommande cette clinique à tous.
Excellent vet clinic. So happy we brought our cat here. Dr. Jeff is next level knowledgeable, professional and personable. His sense of humour isn't too shabby either.
(Translated) Nice welcome, a satisfactory examination for my 10-year-old cat and sick ... but the euthanasia option that I wanted was unfortunately too expensive for me since I had previously had a better price in another clinic, which I will choose after the holidays. In the meantime, my cat is surrounded by love and pampering and his mother is watching over him, a beautiful 12-year-old Siamese. * (Original) Bel accueil, un examen satisfaisant pour mon chat de 10 ans et malade...mais l'option d'euthanasie que je souhaitait était malheureusement trop dispendieux pour moi puisque que j'avais eu auparavant dans une autre clinique un meilleur prix, ce que je vais choisir après la période des Fêtes. En attendant mon chat est entouré d'amour et de petits soins et sa maman veille sur lui, une belle siamoise de 12 ans. *
(Almost killed my dog) Was looking for a vet that might be affordable than the one in my area Orleans' as its much pricier.. Was recommended this clinic...and it was absolutely the worst service iv ever gotten in my entire life. The veterinarian Sarah Nazir is so inexperienced and does not seem educated. She doesn't seem to know anything and unsure of what she was doing, she almost pumped air into my dog/hesitating to give him his shots, and was scared that he was nervous and shaky not even helpful, my husband and i kept on asking ourselves why do vets hire young unprofessional like this? One of the women at the front desk gave my dog a cat treat instead of dog treat! I would of sued her if anything went wrong with my dog and shut them down. Even the customer service and the front desk women were snobby and showed attitude towards everyone. I regret even paying them or even going there in the first place. Never ever going there again and will let everyone know how unprofessional this vet is. i rather pay the extra 70 bucks in Orleans for my puppies first vet visit, but no i cheapened out. Never again, i learnt my lesson. Unbelievable i am so angry.
(Translated) Beloved I had good service but the wait was long anyway (Original) Bien aimée j'ai eu un bon service mais l'attente était lonque quand même
(Translated) Very good service and attentive to its customers. (Original) Très bon service et à l'écoute de ses clients.
Very good with my cat. Knowledgeable doctors and the attendants somehow kept my cat chill while taking blood. However, it is very difficult to get someone on the phone and they don't reply to emails.
This was by far the best vet visit we have ever had! The vet (and clinic owner) was extremely knowledgeable, got straight to the point, was very friendly and wasn't condescending. His priority clearly was our cat's well-being; it felt more like a doctor's appointment and not like a transaction (which is the experience I have had at other clinics). He answered all of our questions and was very accommodating, giving us different options in different price ranges to allow us to choose the best treatment for our cat without breaking our budget. We will definitely return and I highly recommend taking your pets there!
Very attentive & engaged Vet. Dr Tounkara clearly cares greatly about his patients & their people.
(Translated) Very busy place at certain times, which slowed down the service a little but once taken care of ???????? Very competent staff! ???????? (Original) Lieu très achalandé à certaines heures, ce qui ralenti un peu le service mais une fois pris en charge ???????? Personnel très compétent ! ????????
Great vet. Good prices great care.
I brought my dog in & it's all students that don't know what they are doing . I'm never ever going there ever again nor my pets & friends with pets. They are not worth any stars but the lowest .
Dr. Kader has been my dog's vet for over 10 years, and to this day I will always recommend him and his clinic to anyone looking for excellent pet care. You can tell he's an animal lover inside and out, it's not a job for him but a true passion, and I'm always confident in bringing my pet to his place. Keep up the awesome work ;)
Awesome service
(Translated) after having been a loyal customer for many years, very disappointed, i just needed to renew a pill for my dog, but no absolutely wanted me to bring him to charge me $ 70 at the place of just getting me the medication that was for the same things as the previous appointment, just the cash that count, I was elsewhere and no problem ........ finished for me lost a good customer !!!!! ...... .............. that's a lot of change! (Original) apres avoir ete un client fidele depuis plusieurs annees, tres decu, j'avait juste besoin de renouveller une pillule pour mon chien , mais non voulait absolument que je l'amene pour me charger 70$ aux lieux de juste me faire le medicament qui etait pour la meme choses que le rendez precedent, juste le cash qui comte , j'ai ete ailleurs et pas de probleme ........fini pour moi perdu un bon client !!!!!....................ca beaucoup changer service de marde !
Very good vétérinaire de Hull the best one
(Translated) The service is extraordinary. The staff are dedicated to your pet. The construction leaves much to be desired for parking. (Original) Le service est extraordinaire. Le personnel est dévoué pour votre animal de compagnie. La construction laisse à désirer pas beaucoup de place pour le stationnement.
Great bilingual service, great price and they really care for your pet!
(Translated) Yesterday I stopped by for an annual meeting and a vaccine booster with one of my two animals. I had always had good service with this clinic and have always been to their homes for the lifetimes of all of my pets for over a decade, until yesterday the vet I saw with my dog , although very kind, take the exam, give 2 of the 3 vaccines my dog needed and view the file on his computer. After a few seconds, she gives me a mega pitch for the sale of products against fleas, heart glasses etc etc, telling me that I can make an appointment for free with a technician to obtain all these products. I said I would think about it, but I had the brilliance to remember that a vaccine was missing. Well, her sales pitch done, I can assure you that she made the conscious decision to omit that NOT to remind me that my dog's rabies vaccine is due in less than 6 months AND to omit that. 'she could give it at the same time. When I asked the question, she tried to convince me to come back in August so that I could pay for a full test instead of renewing the vaccine which costs $ 15.50! She even tried to make me believe that I would not get my money's worth for the vaccine, which is good for 3 years, whereas in return I should have paid another $ 75.50 in August (vs. an additional $ 15.50 now)!! I can understand that the clinic makes its money from the consultations and the exams, but this deliberate act of handing me a tree to make a little more $ 60 with me annoyed me to the utmost. What saddens me even more is that I even bothered to call so that I could speak to the manager of the who never returned my call. Lesson: take note of the vaccines your pets have and always ask for refills / boosters and ask all the questions because you are going to pass a tree! (Original) Hier je suis passé pour un rendez-vous annuel et un rappel de vaccin avec un de mes deux animaux. J'avais toujours eu un bon service avec cette clinique et je suis toujours allé chez eux pour toute la vies de tous mes animaux depuis plus d'une décennie, jusqu'à ce que hier, la vétérinaire que j'ai vu avec mon chien, bien que très gentille, fasse l'examen, donne 2 des 3 vaccins que mon chien avait besoin et consulte le dossier sur son ordinateur. Apres quelques secondes, elle me fait un méga pitch de vente de produits contre les puces, les verres du cœur etc etc en me disant que je peux prendre rendez-vous gratuitement avec une technicienne pour obtenir tous ces produits. J'ai répondu que j'y penserait mais j'ai eu la brillance d'esprit de me rappeler qu'il manquait un vaccin. Eh bien, son pitch de vente fait, je peux vous assurere qu'elle a délibérément volontairement pris la décision d’omettre que PAS me rappeler que le vaccin de la rage de mon chien est dû dans moins de 6 mois ET d’omettre qu’elle pouvait le donner en même temps. Quand j’ai posé la question, elle a essayé de me convaincre de revenir en aout pour que j'aille a repayer un examen complet au lieu de renouveler le vaccin qui coute 15.50$! Elle a même essayer de me faire croire que je n’en aurait pas pour mon argent pour le vaccin qui est bon pour 3 ans alors qu'en contrepartie j'aurais dû payer un autre 75.50$ en aout (vs. un 15.50$ additionnel maintenant)!! Je peux comprendre que la clinique fait son argent avec les consultations et les examens, mais cet acte délibéré de me passer un sapin pour faire un petit 60$ de plus avec moi m'a horripilé au plus haut point. Ce qui me désole encore plus est que j'ai même pris la peine d’appeler afin de pouvoir en parler à la gestionnaire de la qui n'a jamais retourné mon appel. Leçon: prenez note des vaccins que vos animaux ont et demandez toujours pour les renouvellements/boosters et posez toutes les questions car vous allez vous faire passer un sapin!
(Translated) Very good services (Original) Très Bon services
It's where I take my cat!
My 2 cats had their yearly check up and needles. The staff is very friendly.
Jeff Kader is an awesome vet. Clinique is very organized and has lots of appointments outside my core work hours. Highly recommended. Easy access from Hwy. I visit from Ottawa.
Excellent service!
(Translated) Beware of their prescriptions, among others the dewormer for cats. They sold it to me twice as expensive as the price I found for a Canadian site, 3 times more expensive than the prices in Europe. Request the prescription and check the cost of the medication yourself !!!! (Original) Méfiez-vous de leurs prescriptions, entre autre le vermifuge pour chat. Ils me l'ont vendu 2 fois plus chère que le prix que j'ai trouvé pour un site canadien, 3 fois plus chère que les prix en europe. Demandé la prescription et vérifiez le coût du médicament vous même!!!!
(Translated) Super good service and for emergencies too. Very human (Original) Super bon services et pour les urgences aussi. Très humain
DO NOT GO TO THEM! i waited 4 months to get appointment, they refuse to accept me in told me call in august so i do and they tell me they cant not see me do to being " a new client" even though i have tried without failure to see them so my dog could get his allergy shots, was recommended to them. recommendation is not equal to what service i have gotten.
Five stars on communication, service and veterinarians. They are happy to answer to all of your questions about your pet and they are nice to you and your pet. Will definitely recommend.
Great service at this clinic. Our cat was in a fight last week and suffered a bite that quickly led to an infection. We took her to the Clinique Veterinaire de Hull for treatment. Rather than running a bunch of expensive and unnecessary tests, the vet recommended antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medicine, which we agreed seemed like the right course of treatment. Within two days, our cat was feeling great. The clinic even followed up with a courtesy call a few days later to see how she was doing -- much appreciated! This place will be our first choice from now on.
(Translated) Poor service !! Difficulty with the files, really not easy. They don't make sure to confirm appointments and don't care about customers. GOOD LUCK (Original) Mauvais service !! De la difficulté aux niveaux des dossiers , vraiment pas facile. Ils ne s’assurent pas de confirmer les rendez-vous et ne tiennent pas à cœur les clients. BONNE CHANCE
(Translated) Excellent clinic. We are new customers and they offer unparalleled service. They are respectful, always smiling and ready to help. If you have had bad experiences with other clinic I recommend this clinic without hesitation. Boris always makes new friends at each date. (Original) Excellente clinique. Nous sommes de nouveaux clients et ils offrent un service hors pair. Ils sont respectueux, toujours souriants et prêt à aider. Si vous avez eu des mauvaises expériences avec d'autre clinique je vous recommande sans hésitation cette clinique. Boris se fait toujours de nouveaux amis à chaque rendez vous.
Very clean, good prices, good customer service.
Best in town. City of Ottawa Spay and Neuter Clinic charges more. Fantastic staff too!
Clear explanations, fair prices, polite interaction, safe environment and great doctors. Very friendly receptionists????????
I took my cat to get spayed today and was instructed that drop off was at 8:00am-8:30am and pick up was between 4pm-5pm. I was also told that if my cat was ready to go prior to 4pm, I would receive a call to pick her up. 1hour before pickup time, I get a call and am told that because they had a lot of cats today, my cat won't be ready until 7pm!! I explained that I booked off work to make it and have to travel later today. I asked if it was possible to skip her before other cats as this is very last minute news and that I cannot cancel my trip. They repeated that they had many cats that day and that I can reschedule to another day if I prefer... The staff was very polite and professional but I find their times very inconvenient and I am disappointed that although they knew how many cats they had this morning, they weren't able to give me a realistic time for pickup. I may come back for services offered on the weekends, but I am disappointed with their spaying schedule and would suggest you go to a clinic that does not spay 16 cats in one day.
I will only go here for my fur baby. They treat her well. They are knowledgeable and the whole atmosphere is welcoming. I have referred my parents friends and advertising on Facebook and Twitter. This place is great. I live in ottawa and worth the drive
These guys are amazing. Know their stuff, friendly and patient and bilingual!
Very disappointed... Took the cat in without me because of covid, totally understandable. But then, they called the wrong telephone number and gave a family member the instructions instead of just talking to me while I was in the vet... Then they refused to give me back the instructions and information by telling me that they "don't have time to repeat themselves"...Kind of weird... Also, they charged me medications for my cat without even taking the time to tell me how to even apply it.... They were a good vet before... I am afraid that is no more the case...
(Translated) I just took an appointment for our little cat found ... A clinic so professional, a smile on the phone starting, no pressure or sale, good explanation, reasonable price, a dream team, no double appointment to review and then come back for the operation, especially in our case we come from far! A smart clinic, access to CUSTOMER SERVICE, the human approach and especially accomodating! Thank you for existing and continue your good work! (Original) Je viens de prendre un RDV pour notre petite chatte trouvée... Une clinique si professionnelle, un sourire au téléphone en commençant, aucune pression ou vente, de bonne explication, des prix raissonable, une équipe de rêve, pas de double RDV pour examiner et ensuite revenir pour l'opération, surtout dans notre cas nous venons de loin! Une clinique intelligente, accés sur le SERVICE A LA CLIENTELE, sur l'approche humaine et surtout accomodante! Merci d'exister et continuer votre bon travail!
Friendly staff. Recently renovated their place.
Fantastic office with a great crew to assist. Very kind, respectful and overall such a pleasant experience for our puppy. Would definitely recommend and the price is right for sure.
Great vets & decent prices.
Awesome vets and reasonably priced compared to Ottawa
My dog and I love it here.. good people
Fantastic staff, excellent service and follow up. I highly recommend this veterinary clinic.
(Translated) I have had no warnings about the serious side effects of the antibiotics that have been prescribed to my dog. (Original) Je n’ai eu aucune mise en garde quant aux effets secondaires graves des antibiotiques qui ont été prescrits à ma chienne.
I was in a big panic and wasn't understanding on of the policys long story short I spoke with the admin Jenn and my god she calmed me down very quickly explained everything to me and even offered some medication advice to help my dog if u need any help at all please goto this clinic they may be busy at times but extremely helpful Thanks Jenn your amazing
They are TERRIBLE!! STAY AWAY!!
Apparently the clinic penalizes healthy cats , because our cat has not visited the clinic since she was neutured there 6 years ago . the file was closed and they are not accepting new clients .
(Translated) Correct. But I was disappointed once by a surgery that cost a lot and did not give the promised result. My cat did well but we chose the expensive operation because supposedly his ear would come out intact aesthetic level. A drain would do the trick but more luck of ear cauliflower. The awkward way of suturing his splint broke his ear cartilage and it did not look too pretty. (Original) Correct. Mais j'ai été déçu une fois par une chirurgie qui a coûté cher et n'a pas donné le résultat promis. Ma chatte s'en est bien sortie mais nous avions choisi l'opération coûteuse parce que supposément son oreille allait s'en sortir intacte niveau esthétique. Un drain aurait fais l'affaire mais plus de chance d'oreille en chou fleur. La façon maladroite de sutturer son attelle a brisé son cartilage d'oreille et ça a donné un résultat pas trop joli.
Amazing clinic for your pets. I'd highly recommend them.

(Translated) Good reception and very courteous. (Original) Bonne accueil et très courtois.
The staff are so nice and friendly. I recommended this vet to all my family and friends that live in the neighborhood. Even if you don't live close, sometimes the drive is worth the service!
We recently moved to Gatineau. We were looking to have a Vet for our buns. We understand that the clinic is not taking any new clients. However, the customer service experience of explaining to a customer that unfortunately no places are available for new customers. No smile. No friendly tone. Just a dry and unfriendly statement when you haven't finish to speak.... "we are not taking new clients." When I was googling about the clinic and the reviews, it was overall positive, but after this experience just with the first face that you see when you enter the clinic, I guess... So happy you don't want my business.
One morning I woke up to my kittens very sick and I was very desperate to seek advice and comfort from this local veterinary clinic only to be treated awfully by Dr. Kader. He was completely unsympathetic and made me feel like I'm wasting his time instead of being treated as a valued, PAYING client. It's my first time having pets, google was a scary place when reading about their symptoms, so I had hoped to receive factual information delivered in the way they doctors are taught, and not throwing a bunch of scary terms casually around like "it could be lethal, could be HIV, etc. etc.". When it came to making a decision about a procedure for my kitten, he didn't want to provide insight and he refused to give me his advice on what he would do in my situation, and instead told me "you have to take responsibility for your decisions". I even told him that I did not study animal medicine to be able to safely take a decision as such, whereas his knowledge and expertise should help with making the right choice. He literally walked out of the room for ten minutes or so. Honestly, terrible service in all. Hope you can be kinder and more informative to your other clients.
Very knowledgeable and caring!
Great costumer service and competitive price!
Too expensive and I don't get to see Dr.Tounkara anymore. Went elsewhere.
Dr. Kader is amazing! He is so passionate and loves to help pets and animals
Nice environment, quick and friendly service
Very nice staff
(Translated) My cat loved it (Original) Mon chat a adoré
My cat needed a shave and a neuter. They took pristine care of him.
I needed to get my dog spayed/neutered. I was told because of her size, weight and age, it would cost a bit more for her surgery. I was told by several clinics in Ottawa it would be in between 800$ - 1000$. Then I found this clinic! It only cost me around 630$ with blood work and iv fluids. They even clipped her nails for free!! There were no complications with my dogs surgery and her stitches are healing well. The staff was friendly and answered all my questions. so over all it was a good experience.
Friendly with good Vet Dr
I’ve got 3 little critters and have brought all of them in at some point over the past few years. I just had to say goodbye to my cat unexpectedly and am so thankful for the compassionate staff. I was heartbroken and had a nice little cry...publically...yikes. Just picked up his remains and the woman that has been assisting was SO kind (I think it was Magalie?), the clinic is so fortunate to have her on their team.
My dog is reactive and agressive so the vet is never a fun place. They tried their best to accommodate his needs. They provided us with good resources and information, but the vet could have been more patient with him as to not scare him further.
(Translated) We are very satisfied with the service offered at the clinic. Dr. Josée Chantigny is super nice and her love for animals is palpable. We will definitely return to see it in the future. (Original) Nous sommes très satisfaits du service offert à la clinique. Dr. Josée Chantigny est super gentille et son amour pour les animaux est palpable. Nous retournerons définitivement la voir dans le futur.
They do not have their act together. I’m feel sad having to put a review like this. I’ve been going to see them for years, something’s gone wrong. Time to find another vet. Unreliable, unprofessional and expect to be frustrated.
Dr. Jeff Kader is an amazingly kind man. His love of animals shines through in how he talks, holds and interacts with you and your pet. The front line staff are professional and efficient. I’d recommend taking your pet there, even though it takes a while to get an appointment. They do not have a full complement of vets in the clinic, so are really busy.
(Translated) Quick service for sterilizing my puppy. However, I was sold a cone not suitable for my dog: opening too large and her collar could not even enter the loops. Consequence: the loops broke after 3 days. The clinic refused to give me another one or reimburse me so that my dog would not lick her wound. If you want a cone or cone for your pet, I recommend that you do not buy it there. Finally, the manager of the clinic contacted me and offered me a refund for the necklace, which was not the right size. She also gave me some advice over the phone. Thank you! (Original) Service rapide pour la stérilisation de mon chiot. Cependant on m’a vendu un cône non approprié pour ma chienne: ouverture trop grande et son collier ne pouvait même pas entrer dans les ganses. Conséquence: les ganses se sont brisées au bout de 3 jours. La clinique a refusé de m’en donné un autre ou de me rembourser afin que ma chienne ne se lèche pas sa plaie. Si vous voulez un cône ou cornet pour votre animal, je vous recommande de ne pas l’acheter à cet endroit. Finalement, la gestionnaire de la clinique m’a contactée et m’a offert un remboursement du collier qui n’était pas de la bonne taille. Elle m’a aussi donné quelques conseils au téléphone. Merci!
(Translated) Superb experience, qualified personal who loves their work and animals, I recommend this place to everyone ???? (Original) Superbe expérience, personnelle qualifié qui aime leur travail et les animaux, je recommande cet endroit à tous ????
Great staff. Greatly recommend them.
My cat had rotten teeth, I think he had gingivitis as well and the vet made us do tons of treatment and biopsy to see what was wrong with him since every time he would eat he would panic because it hurt too much and just run away and not eat. And all along his damm teeth were rotting ( it doesn't take a diploma to know what rotting teeth look like, I saw it) my mom payed over 2 000$ to help him and we were going broke and eventually it got too much he was loosing weight and it was heart breaking to see him suffer so we had to put him down. But if he vet would've just looked at his teeth in the first place instead of trying to make money he would still be here today. He was just a baby 2 years old and the first cat that was all mine! ????
Everyone is so friendly, the price is much better than Ottawa vets.
Wonderful service, affordable and a pleasure every time we go. I bring all three of our cats there.
(Translated) new to the area, i have a cat in bad shape, not even able to take it. no consideration. For professionals it is not serious (Original) nouveau dans la région, j ai un chat mal en point, même pas en mesure de le prendre. aucune considération. Pour des professionnel ce n est pas sérieux
Staff is incredible and prices can't be beat. Bring two dogs here and believe they receive outstanding care.
(Translated) The attendants in this establishment have no love for animals. Unfortunately, I regret that my vet Dr Toukara made the decision to go and work in this clinic which already did not have a good reputation. My last experience was to see the two attendants talking to each other when a poor dog with a flat leg and who was extremely nervous was doing his business and no one helped them, to see the two attendants talking to each other while I was being served , to the two attendant who never welcomes dogs or cats, who doesn't even say hello. This clinic is forever crossed out in my notebook. And that is a shame for Dr Toukara who is an excellent Vet but since he has been at this clinic I am not sure. (Original) Les préposés dans cette établissement n'ont aucun amour pour les animaux. Malheureusement, je regrette que mon vet Dr Toukara est pris la décision d'aller travailler dans cette clinique qui n'avait déjà pas une bonne réputation. Ma dernière expérience a voir les deux préposés se parler entre eux quand un pauvre chiens avec une jambe en plate et qui était extrêmement nerveux faisait ses besoins et que personne ne les a aider , a voir les deux préposée se parler pendant que je me faisait servir , au deux préposée qui n'accueille jamais les chiens ou chat, qui ne disente même pas bonjour . Cette clinique est barré a jamais dans mon cahier. Et cela est dommage pour Dr Toukara qui est un excellent Vet mais depuis qu'il est a cette clinique je ne suis plus certaine .
Dont recommend to no one...
Great caring place!
Staf is always amazing! Took my dog for his 1 year check up and most of the staff remembered him. Made me super happy with my vetrinary decision
Great service and great people! We love Dr. Lavoie the most obviously because she sees out cats but everyone of the staff have always been helpful.
The lady doctor was very sweet with my dog and took the time to answer my questions. I've gone there twice for shots and a annual checkup and I felt that they were professional and caring. No problems with payment and the prices are fair. Overall, I am very happy with them.
Excellent bedside manner. Very caring staff.
Great vet clinic. I trust my vet with my two cats 100%
CVH is an amazing veterinary clinic. Friendly, knowledgeable, and compassionate staff, a great location, and fair prices. I took my elderly cat there for renal problems and eventually took him back to be euthanized when his health took a turn for the worst. Everyone involved made a really hard day a whole lot easier. They were kind and gentle, they explained every step along the way, and they gave us time alone when all had been done. Truly a positive experience. They even sent a card afterwards! Highly recommend.
Friendly and fast service. They are always extremely welcoming with a great big smile. They squeezed in our puppy in an emergency after he was attacked by another dog and provided us with great service/recommendations. They also have the best prices in town, would highly recommend!
Edit: update to review. Our little guy has had bladder issues so we did a urine sample as requested by the vet. Dropped it off on April 15 2019 and they did the testing right away but said a vet would call with the results.... have been calling 2 times a week for the last 3.5 weeks and have not gotten any vet callback with our pups urine results. Finally got a callback but still upset with front admin staff. Took our Goldendoodle to the Vet last night for his 12 week vaccinations. Our first vet visit with our puppy as our breeder had done the 8 week shots at their own Vet. We live in Ontario and the parking lot of this vet was filled with Ontario plates. The front staff is extremely friendly and was interacting with our dog as we waited for our appointment. The vet tech and vet were also great and very friendly with our puppy. Happily going back in 4 weeks time for our puppies 16 week vaccinations.
Very affordable care for pets. Dr. Kader is amazing with our cats!
Experienced professionals. Caring... gentle and very professional
Love coming here! Great prices and such friendly staff
I always use this vet for my kitty. they have very reasonable prices and take very good care of the patients. you can tell they are animal lovers!!
I was a very loyal and happy customer up until recently. I lived in Ottawa and would visit regularly. I moved in from Ottawa and decided I would move close to them so I could continue to see their team with my dog. As of late, I have found the staff to be less than courteous and helpful, along with quite short. This, specific to having cancelled an appointment, and having explained why I was doing so. My concern was not acknowledged at all. This related to a poor diagnostic I was issued. The receptionist did not make my experience a positive one. I have not enjoyed being made to feel as though my loyalty is not valued.
We like our vet but the constant pushing to spay our dog was almost aggressive. Our dog is a breeder dog and have a contract with a good breeder. They kept asking me to schedule the operation over and over even if I told them that it won't happen until a while. I also request a progesterone test this year. They told me they will call me the next day since they need the vet to know which test to use and they never did. I called back the next day and my request was apparently closed. They did that twice without actually contacting me. We went to the breeder clinic instead and we will keep going there from now on. Sad because we like our vet!
Le staff est fantastique! Vraiment sympa et serviable. The vets that I've seen for my whippet mix and great Dane are so great and helpful, they really take the time to address concerns and explain things. Très contente!
The ladies that work there are very friendly. And the Vets are super nice....
Fantastic place was seen on time and friendly service they speak English. Run by two female vets. Great place.
Excellent service and very kind staff! My dog recently had dental surgery (several extractions) by Dr.Kader. He was great! Highly recommend anyone planning on dental surgery to go here. Not to mention it was probably 1/3 of the price I would have paid at the vet I was going to in downtown Ottawa. My dog has recovered great and I can notice a difference in personality already???? thank you again. Will be going here from now on.
Good vets, cheaper than Ontario vets. Free parking, easy to get to. Sells food, cat n dog. Nice reception people.
The service is exceptional from the moment you make the first call to book the appointment to the moment you're walking back out the door. They're kind and care very much for animals.
Awesome staff very clean.
Started good and then downhill. They seem to be understaffed. Good luck trying to get any information about your pet after hours and hours of being there. Diagnosed my cat with stress, to find out he had a huge tumor. Will be changing clinics for sure. They just kicked my sister's cat out LOL after I just wrote the review. Pathetic unprofessional people. You will be hearing from my lawyer.
Friendly staff and great service
Absolutely ZERO compassion for animals, do not go there for any service. Go elsewhere at all cost
Great service and awesome staff. They are very friendly and the prices are very reasonable.
Price are outrageous!!! Please find another vet.
(Translated) no service (Original) aucun service
Kind, polite and caring staff.
The best place for my Billy's care.
(Translated) Big lack of competence on the part of the veterinarian. She didn't know what to do to examine our cat. My wife had to tell him what to do, ridiculous. Our cat eats mice and has been told that she is the kind of preventative treatment we should take to avoid infections (worms, etc), she tells us that she only knows the anatomy of the animal… eh what? So the stomach isn't one of them? Is that what to understand? The technicians were a thousand times more competent and helpful than her. It was the technician who gave us the right advice. (Original) Gros manque de compétence de la part de LA vétérinaire. Elle ne savait pas quoi faire pour examiner notre chat. Il fallait que ma conjointe lui dise quoi faire, ridicule. Notre chat mange des souris et on lui a dit qu’elle genre de traitement préventif devrions nous prendre pour éviter des infections(vers,etc), elle nous répond qu’elle connaît seulement l’anatomie de l’animal… eh quoi ? Donc l’estomac en fait pas partie ? C’est ce qui faut comprendre ? Les techniciennes étaient milles fois plus compétentes et serviables qu’elle. C’est la technicienne qui nous a donné les bons conseils.
We have been taking our adopted dog "Gibson" to see Doctor Kader and his wonderful staff for the past 8.0 years.. It was a pleasure dealing with this clinic. We had to put our dog down this past weekend (Feb 28 2015), and through doctor Kader our wonderful pet dog went calmly and peacefully. They truly care about animals, and because of Doctor Kader's professionalism and sensitivity to what we were going through, it made the difficult process that much easier. I would recommend this clinic to anyone who wants top notch care for their beloved pets.
Very clean and modern facility cheap prices, example I got puppy shots and dewormer awhile back for under 100 ( roughly) and ottawa vets want 300 plus ! Staff is always nice and very helpful. Will not hesitate to keep bringing my dogs here. Highly recommend, keep it up.
Concerned because my adopted cat went into heat refused outright refused services. Thanks for not caring or helping????
(Translated) Good service. Taken a little on the expensive side but reasonable given supply and demand. (Original) Bon service. Pris un peu cher mais raisonnable compte tenu de l’offre et de la demande.
It was very professional, yet a warm personal touch. ????????
(Translated) Very busy his valuables that he does not take other clients (Original) Très occupé ses de valeur qu'il ne prenne pas d'autres clients
Been going for years. Took our pet In an emergency that no one else would
(Translated) Before leaving for work I found my cat with an abscess this morning and wanting to inform me if the clinic took emergencies I stopped there. The receptionists also felt that my observation was probably good and that an emergency was required. Then come the identification of my cats, in short, they no longer have the follow-up sheet. Their excuse: no medical activity for too long. Which means that he won't take my cat for the emergency because they put the files in 'Not active' mode. Suddenly, the state of the file determines whether it is an emergency or not ... It is not serious there. I have to take my cat to have a new file re-registered and then make another appointment so that the problem is determined and so on ... Nasty ordeal ... (Original) Avant de partir pour le travail j'ai trouvé mon chat avec un abcès ce matin et voulant m'informé si la clinique prennais les urgences je me suis arrêté sur place. Les préposée à l'acceuil étaient aussi d'avis que mon observation était probablement bonne et qu'une urgence était requise. Viens alors l'identification de mon chats, bref, ils n'ont plus la fiche de suivit. Leur excuse: aucune activité médicale depuis trop longtemps. Ce qui veut dire qu'il ne prendrons pas mon chat pour l'urgence à cause qu'ils ont placé les dossier en mode 'Non actif'. Tout d'un coup, l'état du dossier détermine si c'est une urgence ou pas... C'est pas sérieux là. Il me faut emmener mon chat pour se faire ré-enregistrer un nouveau dossier pour ensuite prendre un autre rendez-vous pour que le problème soit déterminé et ainsi de suite... Méchant calvaire...
So I waited 2 weeks to write my review just to see if there was any kind of follow through from this place. There wasn’t. 2 weeks ago I took my dog in for teeth cleaning. I’ll admit it, this is not our regular vet. The cost is less on the Quebec side so after reading reviews we selected this clinic. First they call me to tell me the dog has many health problems and they need our approval to go ahead with anesthetic as it risky in such cases. The dog was suffering with an infection in his mouth so we needed to clean his mouth up. We worryingly gave our approval. Then after a couple of hours the vet calls and says 10 teeth NEED to come out as they are all rotten. This will require further 3 hours of anesthetic bringing us to the maximum 5 hours allowed. Was he asking out of concern for the dog’s health under anesthetic? No, just whether we wanted to pay or not. That should have been my first clue; first they tell me anesthetic is risky then they ask for the max! However, I trust the vet knows what he is doing and tell him to go ahead and get these rotten teeth out. Then the vet calls again 2 1/2 hours later to tell me that these “rotten” teeth were so strong he had to cut and drill and cut and drill just to get out only 4 teeth! He had reached the max time and had to sew up his work. He also told me to make a follow up appointment in 2 weeks and to see “only him”. Why would he continue to cut and drill to remove teeth that were so solid he had to spend nearly an hour per tooth? My conclusion? Hubris and greed. The vet was too proud to not take out any teeth after he told me there was at least 10 rotten teeth and if he had approval to go to the max, he might as well and get the money. The request to see “only him” for follow up was my second red flag. I am sure he doesn’t want anyone else to see what he did in my dog’s mouth. Did anyone from the clinic follow up in the few days after this invasive surgery to see how my dog was doing? No. Did anyone follow up to see why I hadn’t made the 2 week appointment? No. This clinic is expanding their building and probably their staff. All the good reviews seem to be before this expansion. To my mind this is a case of this clinic forgetting its roots. There were too many good reviews not to choose this clinic. Now, however, if you’re coming from Ontario for a good deal remember: You get what you pay for. Sorry, but I cannot recommend this clinic and I will not be brining my dog back to have 6+ solid teeth removed for thousands of dollars more just to help fund the new construction.
Maybe they use to be decent. But they've gotten pricey and really push all of the trash you don't need, I suppose the new addition needs to be funded somehow. 1300$ for an infection is a bit crazy...
The staff here are wonderful. Kind, compassionate and competent. I cant say enough good things about this place. Dre. Legacy is a very knowledgeable veterinarian and always takes the time to answer your questions and ease any concerns.
I had to bring one of my cats in for a little blighty. I asked if while I was at it, I could bring my other cat for a quick checkup. Since I was making the trip anyway. I was told no, that I'd have to wait at least an hour to get the second cat looked at. So I brought just the one cat. As it turns out, I still had to wait about an hour before seeing the vet. So much waiting.
Took both my cats. Helpful and respectful staff. Took good care of my furballs.
(Translated) Very professional and courteous service at a great price. I recommend to anyone (Original) Service très professionnel et courtois et ce a très bon prix. Je recommande à n'importe qui
Amazing
Now that the wait time for exams is 2 months, I have booked an appointment somewhere else... I simply cannot wait two months for my poor dog. I wonder what their clients are doing, they're poor poor pets who need medical care need to wait a really long time to get simple medications!
(Translated) Very difficult to make an appointment. No one on the phone, only a voicemail, no online reservation tool. It is clearly missing a receptionist. However, impeccable service when you manage to get a date. (Original) Très difficile de prendre rendez-vous. Jamais personne au bout du fil, seulement une boîte vocale, aucun outil de réservation en ligne. Il manque clairement un/une réceptionniste. Toutefois, service impeccable lorsqu’on réussit à avoir un rendez-vous.
Wanted to go here after moving to Gatineau but apparently it would take 2 months for the vet to have a meet and greet with the dog...
Love going there. Friendly, and they absolutely adore animals. It's a refreshing environment.
The receptionist where answered the phone was very helpful and the prices nobody can beat I recommend it
It is impossible to get an appointment there now that ownership has changed but the staff is still helpful if you call or walk in.
The staff is very compassionate.
Good prices, friendly staff, good vet.
Great people. Very professional
I have been coming there over for 2 years. However, in my last visit there for my cat, we were not able to get inside because of the COVID-19 restrictions. My cat is kind of hard to control and she stress too much if we are not around her. We vaccinated our cat there and we have no idea how they vaccinated her, and since that day, she has totally different attitude. Hiding, not eating well and etc. I was able to get inside in our last visits and doctors were more eligible to do the vaccine with me while I hold her. Right now, she changed a lot and its been a month that she is like this. I will not come there again! If you have a pet that scares from other people and scratches them, don’t let them to take in inside without you!
I have been with this clinic for 7 years with two pets, and generally everything was fine until recently. However, CVH is apparently merging with another clinic, which they appear to be completely unprepared for. There is no longer anyone answering the phone (ever), it takes a week or more to receive a call back, and good luck getting an appointment (I was told that the next available time is in a month and a half). I am now forced to switch clinics. This is completely unprofessional. Take your business elsewhere.
Incredibly professional and affordable! Our kitten needed surgery because of an intestinal blockage, and they took extremely good care of him. They didn't push for any unnecessary procedures and they thoroughly informed us of every step along the way, including a detailed run down of the cost (which was significantly lower than anywhere else). They would call us a couple of times a day with updates and were amazingly friendly & reassuring. I highly recommend this clinic, thank you Dr. Kader & Anne!
(Translated) my dog was not doing well even I would say that she was in pain, she was not eating anymore and she was starting to stop drinking (dental problem) and nobody wanted to take us because we have just installed laval and we have no file with a clinic in the same ottawa region veterinary emergency clinic couldn't do anything without a referral from a clinic. Finally he took us urgently and diagnosed that the problem would cost us quite a lot in the 3000 dollars + and my dog had already reached his age of life expectancy. So we made the hardest decision of our life was day and decided to have him euthanized. the process was very difficult for us but we found the employees to be very professional and empathic and we are very satisfied with their service. a big thank you to the whole team because if it weren't for you, probably she would have died in pain (Original) ma chienne n'allait pas bien meme je dirais quelle souffrait, elle ne mangeais plus et elle commencais a arrêter de boire( problème dentaire)et personne ne voulais nous prendre car on vien d'aménager de laval et nous avons pas de dossier avec une clinic dans la région meme ottawa veterinary emergency clinic ne pouvais pas rien faire sans une référence d'une clinic. Finalement il nous on pris en urgence et on diagnostiquer que le problème nous coûterait assez chère dans les 3000 dollars + et mon chien avais deja atteint son age d'espérance de vie .Donc nous avon pris la décision la plus dure de notre vie a se jour et décidé de le faire euthanasier. le processus etais tres difficile pour notre part mais nous avons trouvé les employés tres professionnels et empathic et nous sommes tres satisfaits de leur service. un gros merci a tout l'équipe car si se n'était pas de vous , probablement quelle aurait mourut en souffrance
Staff is great and prices are great
Worst customer service ever. They just want your money and then for you to leave until the next time they can take your money. Went to pay my bill and my credit card didn't work so I had to pay them something so I used my debit card. The next day I come in to get the debit card refunded and pay it back with a credit card. They say it's no problem then moments later flat out refuse. I said I'd cover the cost of the fees for interac and visa and they still refuse. It makes no sense they still get their money nothing changes it's just a different form of payment. I can't believe their attitude. They just didn't care once the deposit is made the money is gone. too bad so sad. I've never been treated so poorly. I said i'd never come back and they said "you don't have to do that". so you still want my future money good luck. Look for a clinic that cares about the customer.
I saw lots of recommendations online to come to this clinique to get my newly adopted, medium/large dog neutered at a more affordable price. It was very clean and the staff was very nice. But, before we left our dog we asked the nurse if we should take his harness off and put his leash on his actual collar. The nurse said, "No, you can leave him as he is," so I left it on him. Everyone was so pleasant... And like, it's a harness, they can handle it... apparently not. When we picked him up the nurse claimed my dog had chewed it up in his cage because he was nervous. I didn't think too much of it and took it home with me. When I examined it at home, it was a clean cut right next to the clasp. I had adopted my dog for less than 4 months and the harness was $70. So, in the end I didn't save much money and was lied to in the face. Never going back. If they lie about something as little as this I just cannot trust my dog being under their care.
People there are so caring and friendly! The price is the lowest in Gatineau/Ottawa! Thank you for making, my pets and I, our experience amazing
Unfriendly

(Translated) Excellent service (Original) Excellent service
Always very professional and knowledgeable. I appreciate their hard work.
This is a great veterinary clinic. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. We have 5 companion animals and we have seen all four vets at this clinic and had excellent experiences with all of them, except for one. As a result of that particularly negative interaction, I was only able to give the clinic 4 stars. They were very supportive of my anxious dog and have great hours for drop-off and pick up, if you work full-time. I do not hold the clinic responsible for the one bad experience I had with Dr. Nazir. She was very critical and alarmist and was not successful in communicating health information about my dog in a proactive and/or cooperative way. In my view, she lacks professionalism and interpersonal skills and I will definitely request to not see her again. To end on a positive note, I brought in my son with me one day (he is on the Autism Spectrum) and he was having a bit of trouble adjusting to the noise/smells in the clinic. The front desk staff went out of their way to help support me by offering to hold my two large dogs so I could support his entry into the building. After we came in, they provided my son with fun things to play with, which helped make him feel comfortable. Their kindness and understanding that morning especially was so very appreciated. Thank you for your professionalism and compassion for our family!
They never ever answer their phone EVER. Considering changing vet!
(Translated) The best prices so far ... for me, and great service. In the last few months, two castrations and a complete examination due to stress, Kamel had lost his appetite .. Everything is under control and his kibbles are delicious, he always has his face in it ... So, good choice! (Original) Les meilleurs prix jusqu'à date ...pour moi, et un service très appréciable. Dans les derniers mois, deux castrations et un examen complet dû au stress, Kamel avait perdu l'appétit ..Tout est sous contrôle et ses croquettes sont délicieuses, il a toujours la face dedans...Donc, bon choix!

Friendly staffs with way cheaper price than Ottawa area. I brought my dog here for his castration surgery. The surgery, medicines, blood work with taxes combined is still less than what they quoted me elsewhere. Because of this, I was willing to drive 40 mins each way to bring my pet here. Would recommend if you don't mind the trips to Gatineau.
Receptionist was very knowledgeable and helpful.
They have good prices and are kind when you have to put your loved one to sleep

Friendly Vet assistants and Dr Legacy is honest and won't take advantage of your wallet and tell you how it is!
Poor service, unfriendly staff, quoted us for an all-included neuter(as I shopped around, called multiple places for the best price) but when we arrived we found out we'd be paying almost double what they had quoted us. Woman at the front desk suggested blood work on our 1 year old dog, which we agreed to. When we picked him up, another staff member asked us why we were doing blood work on a dog so young(under 5 they said). I also noticed my dog was shaved in 3 seperate spots, I'm not sure why as they only needed to use needles twice. They also managed to take a large chunk out of the hair on his left ear. Very unprofessional. Super unimpressed. They also could not tell us when our dog was due for his rabies shot, I've only ever brought him to this vet. One staff member told us he was due for his rabies shot in a week,then another staff member told us he wasn't due until July 2022. After a third check by another staff member, they decided he was in fact due for his rabies shot. How am I supposed to have any confidence in a vet like this? Their own staff members have no idea what's going on. I will be looking in to a refund, and other options. Please make sure you triple check everything with these people. They're trying to milk you out of as much money as possible. I do not recommend this vet to anyone. I will also note that we tried to express our concerns to the staff and they were not friendly in return.
(Translated) Very good services. (Original) Tres bon services.
Amazing service in both official languages. The vets and techs are great and love their jobs and the animals. Prices are very fair and much cheaper than in Ottawa.
Since Nov 2020, Don't take new clients and they don't care. And from other reviews, they don't seem to listen much to what they're clients want, so I guess it's better to go elsewhere.
Very compassionate veterinarians,, clean environment
They are very nice and actually care about the animals. Friendly staff that love to spoil the dogs when they come in.
Great service
I have been going here for 12 years and they have always provided me with nothing but professionalism. They have a wonderful team of veterinarians and such a friendly staff. I have always been able to trust that my animals are in good hands.
I brought my 2 kittens in to be fixed, I had never been here before and I am so thrilled with the service we received. My kittens came home early, they are doing great and I will recommend to friends and family and I will bring my animals back if need be. Anne-Marie, thank you, you are wonderful!
They need to work on their customer service. Our favorite vet is now with this group, my friends have opted to go elsewhere since the merge due to the lack of customer care at the front desk and the difficulty in getting to see our own vet. I did have one of my dogs die while waiting to visit this clinic. In the past we could get in to see our vet within a day or two, since the merge with this place it's a week or two, enough time for your dog to die. This place seems to be all about making sure people pay the max allowable rather than saving pets in need. They need to change if they want to get good reviews. I will continue to see our vet here because he is the greatest however we hope to never have another emergency because this place clearly doesn't care about anything but money. The personal touch that we had and felt at Lac Lemey just isn't t present here.
I am changing my 5 star review to a 1 star review in hopes this will somehow convey the message to them that their phone booking system is unreasonable. I've been a client with them for approx. 5 years now and have always gotten a call back within 24 hours when leaving a message to book an appointment. I have been trying to make an appointment for weeks now and we are just playing phone tag. As soon as you miss their call back (i.e. you couldn't answer the phone while driving), you have to call back and leave another message and wait a few days for a call back. This is getting stressful as I've been watching my phone constantly for two weeks. We would rather book an appointment with our usual vet there (Dr. Legacy) who is great, lovely and knows our pet's history well, but I now have to find a brand new vet for my 14.5 year old dog because I just can't wait much longer for an appointment (we are looking at least at another month until there are availabilities). I would recommend anyone looking for a new vet clinic to save themselves some trouble and skip this one. Furthermore, I think current clients should start finding another clinic for their pet to save themselves the trouble and stress of booking an appointment when their pet really needs it.
My pet was suffering of an Open Wound, and I was waiting for that appointment during 2 months. 10 minutes I lost driving from home to the clinic, and the woman in reception said almost screaming, you are delayed, yes I know, screaming again, because you are delayed you have to wait until all that people before you and the rest coming after you finish their appointment with the doctor, I don't know how many hours you will wait. I decided to change for another day The visit to the pet doctor. Her answer was like her face, pure shi... (piiiiiiiii) The doctors son times are ok, The assistants vet. are educated and attentive. But the receptionists some ones think we are going to beg for free assistance. You should see their faces and the way they talk to us the customers. If you want to have an appointment there they will give you one but don't think is going to be 2 days after, or 1 week after, at least 2 weeks after, will be 1 month and the half after. That's not professional. I won't back any more to Clinique Vétérinaire de Hull. They are not anymore nice for me or my pet. With my money I can go any other place. Good luck if you want to go there, better take care of your pet. Look for another clinic.

I go to this clinic because of the expertise. Dr. Kader diagnosed a problem in our old Newfoundland dog that others had missed. She's had an extra year of life now free of pain. Thanks!
Really friendly people you can tell that they do care about the animals I appreciate everything they have done for me and my best friend
(Translated) Dr. Tounkara is an animal loving veterinarian who is caring, meticulous and respectful. He had to extract teeth from our toy poodle due to the significant tartar that our dog was making and which was causing him dangerous bacteria for his health. Our dog is recovering from surgery and is fine. Thank you Dr Tounkara for your professionalism. (Original) Dr. Tounkara est un vétérinaire qui aime les animaux, il est attentionné, méticuleux et respectueux. Il a dû extraire des dents de notre caniche toy dû au tartre important que notre chien faisait et qui lui causait des bactéries dangeureuses pour sa santé. Notre chien se rétablit de la chirurgie et va bien. Merci Dr Tounkara pour votre professionnalisme.
Edit: While my first and second visits were excellent, the prices have jumped significantly and I will now be looking elsewhere. Wonderful experience, very friendly and professional staff. Very affordable when compared to prices around the Ottawa area. Highly recommend, I will absolutely be returning in the future.
(Translated) Beware of recommendations !!!! Ask for explanations .... they always have recommendations which are not of a real necessity for the animal !!!! Good service ! But don't be naive ... (Original) Se mėfier des recommandations !!!! Demandez des explications ....ils ont toujours des recommandations qui ne sont pas d,une vėritable nėcessitė pour l'animal!!!! Bon service ! Mais il ne faut pas être naïf ....
Our cats see Dr. Kader and he is wonderful. Its a long drive from our house and my husband and I had discussed potentially finding a vet closer to home. It was their annual check up last weekend, and the exemplary service reminded us why we'll never switch vets. Dr. Kader is passionate about animals and his love of his job is very apparent. Well worth the drive, every time!!!
We got our dog fixed there and have to say i was satisfied with the procedure. They are a bit chaotic up front though, and seem a bit disorganized. We've been going there for about a year because we also have a cat that is diabetic. We have to go once a month to pick up insulin, we are never recognized, they always ask us the same questions (if we had used it before, even after bringing in a box of used syringes) etc etc. However this is not why I am giving them two stars. When our cat first go diagnosed the vet suggested pro zinc insulin because he has had the best results with it. We agreed, and it has been costing us about 140 dollars every 40 days. When we finally decided we had enough of their chaotic service, we brought our cat to another vet. He asked us which insulin we used, we said pro zinc. He said he usually goes with another one but it was a bit more expensive. We are like great, more money! And then he gives us the price.....40 freaking dollars. The pro zinc there was actually cheaper, like 37 dollars. I just feel gutted. Perhaps we were buying the name brand insulin, but we were never told there were cheaper alternatives. The fact that we were overpaying 100 dollars a vial for a year just makes me really upset. If your animal has any conditions that needs medicine, i would advise to call other vets and see what their prices are. Don't just take their advice blindly because they are obviously unconcerned about your wallet.
This place has the worst service desk i ve ever seen, no one ever answers the phone. Plus we got charged for tests that were poorly done which resulted in false results. They also shorted us on a liquid antibiotic and when we noticed at the end of the treatment they said it was impossible and asked us to pay for more
Great with cats. Very friendly vets.
Always friendly, knowledgeable at a reasonable price
We brought 2 of our cats here. One for sterilization surgery and a displaced hip, and one who had been diagnosed with diabetes. The staff are bilingual and really understanding and takes the time to answer questions and propose various treatment or diagnostic test options for us to make an informed decision. We were in touch with the vet who diagnosed our diabetic cat for almost 2 years on a biweekly/monthly basis and almost daily for the first few weeks. It was amazing to see how much they care and want the best for the pets. Prices are much more affordable than vets in Ontario. Our female sterilization was $180 when we had received multiple quotes of $380+ in Ottawa. Highly recommended.

Not taking new patients
Thank you to Dr. Lavoie and staff for your patience and understanding. Sterling is doing much better already. Excellent service as always!
I brought my cat this place for the first time. I booked an appointment. I went there early, went to reception to give them all contact information. I waited so long, finally 30 minutes after my scheduled appointment time I asked what is wrong with my appointment. The women I talked when I arrived said she forgot my "check-in". I was sitting at the waiting area all the time and they saw me waiting. They simply didn't care new customers.
Very let down with bad service that cost my kitty his life.
The worst customer experience I have ever experienced at a vet. Would highly recommend anyone avoids this place at all costs.
Very good clinic
Brought my cat in for blood work and urine analysis. Was told it could take up 72 hours. 11 days later I am still calling trying to track down results. I finally get to speak to the vet and my cat is diagnosed with with diabetes. She tells me to schedule an appointment with a vet tech to go over how to give insulin etc. I schedule an appointment and show up .. I sit there for 20 minutes before I am even acknowledged. I get into the office where they tell me I was suppose to pick up my prescription before hand. I did check my messages afterward and had a message from the night before telling me to come pick up my prescription but I live in Kanata and they are in hull. They tell me if I have any questions do not hesitate to call. I call 9 days into treatment because my cats sugar is dangerously low and it's time for her insulin. Receptionist tells me to hold off on the insulin until I hear from the vet later that day. Well it's been 2.5 days and my husband gets a message on his phone , I call back 20 minutes later and the vet is gone and will be back in 3 days. Lol their compassion for animals and a worried Client truly shows. Switching to a vet closer to home that has better business etiquette. Good luck with your expansion.
(Translated) A very professional team that loves animals! My dog has various health problems, which makes us visit this property regularly, me and my boyfriend. Dr.Kader always takes care of our big dog and the reception is very kind and attentive. From his first visit, when he was a puppy and was castrated, one of the veterinary assistants even stayed with him during his lunch break, to keep him company. My dog is always looking forward to returning because he knows he will be offered rewards and hugs. Thank you very much to all the team :) (Original) Une équipe très professionnelle qui aime les animaux! Mon chien a divers problème de santé, ce qui fait en sorte que nous visitons cet établissement régulièrement, moi et mon copain. Dr.Kader s'occupe toujours très bien de notre gros toutou et la réception est très gentille et attentionnée. Dès sa première visite, alors qu'il n'était qu'un chiot et se faisait castrer, une des assistantes vétérinaires est même resté avec lui lors de sa pause dîner, afin de lui tenir compagnie. Mon chien a toujours hâte d'y retourner, car il sait qu'il se fera offrir des récompenses et des câlins. Merci beaucoup à toute l'équipe :)
Dr kader is the best
(Translated) When I set foot at this clinic for the first time, it was to continue to obtain follow-up for my dog Pablo whose veterinarian Dr. Tounkara had closed his own clinic to join the Hull veterinary clinic. My first contacts on the phone and in person have deeply disappointed me. I found the front desk staff to be anything but respectful and professional. I made the decision not to go back there. Many of my friends and family have changed vets for this reason. Recently my aging dog had to be euthanized. I couldn't bring myself to go through an unknown vet. I decided to ask Dr Tounkara to accompany us in this difficult process. What a great decision. The reception staff were humane and professional. Olivier, the technician who received me and who accompanied the veterinarian, was professional, respectful and very human. We felt privileged to receive such good service. Thank you so much. (Original) Lorsque j’ai mis les pieds à cette clinique la première fois c’était pour continuer à obtenir un suivi pour mon chien Pablo dont le vétérinaire Dr Tounkara avait fermé sa propre clinique pour se joindre à la Clinique vétérinaire de Hull. Mes premiers contacts au téléphone comme en personne m’ont profondément déçus. J’ai trouvé le personnel à l’accueil tout sauf respectueux et professionnel. J’ai pris la décision de ne plus y retourner. Plusieurs de mes amies et membres de ma famille ont changé de vétérinaire pour cette raison. Récemment mon chien vieillissant devait être euthanasié. Je ne pouvais me résoudre à passer par un vétérinaire inconnu. J’ai décidé de demander à Dr Tounkara de nous accompagner dans cette difficile démarche. Quelle bonne décision. Le personnel à l’accueil a été humain et professionnel. Olivier le technicien qui m’a reçu et qui a accompagné le vétérinaire , était professionnel, respectueux et très humain. Nous nous sommes sentis privilégiés de recevoir de si bons services. Merci beaucoup.
Staff is always polite, the vets are always honest! It can be pricey but still cheaper then ottawa for sure.
Never return their calls. Have been dealing with this clinic for years and this has been the worst since the new owners. If i could find another clinic during covid i would leave. Very innefficient staff at front desk. Retourne jamais les appels il faut aller en clinique faire nos rendez vous. Épouvantable elles ne font pas leurs jobs.
This is my place for my two cats , being going there for almost 30 years , and I'm still going there , guess why , they take good care of my cats .
(Translated) Excellent service and good information received when asking questions, also very good price and finally thank you for the service I recommend this clinic! (Original) Excellent service et bonne information reçu lorsqu'on demande des questions, aussi de très bon prix et pour finir merci pour le service je vous recommande cette clinique !!
The longest wait of my life. I was running late to my appointment but I made sure to call the clinic and tell them I was running late due to picking up my sick child. No control over that. Came from south side Ottawa all the way here to wait 50 more mins to see a vet! Worst experience ever. Didn’t know that family emergencies were not tolerated as a valid excuse to late. VERY disappointed with their service. They are literally just sitting down in the back laughing and “having their lunch”. However there was ONE kind lady who were apologetic towards the situation even though they STILL didn’t not bother to come check up on me after leaving me in the room!
I have been a client at this clinic for almost 8 years. They used to have impeccable client service but over the last couple of years they have continued to grow and expand and their client relations have unforunately taken a head-dive. I have left 3 voicemails to renew my dog's medication and book an appointment for her ongoing health problems and have yet to get a call back. The policy is to place the order 48 hours in advance - I called on September 30th and left a message. I have left 2 other messages since then and have called multiple times. I will have to go in person to get someone to help me and will then have to go back again to pick-up the medication.
(Translated) Best Know! (Original) Best Vet!
Amazing vet clinic. Staff are insanely helpful and take such amazing care of you pet. Very reasonably priced. They have a great stock of specialty pet food. The only down side is if your pet needs to stay over night, there is no one that stays at the clinic.
We love the care we receive from the vets. We wouldn't pay ridiculous prices for our animals, but what we do pay for we want done well. The team here doesn't push unnecessary procedures on us, and they do what we need done. We travel far out of our way to go here because they are worth it. If you're in Ottawa, go here.
(Translated) Very good service (Original) Tres bon service
Absolute WORST service. I have been taking my puppy to this vet since she was 8 weeks old, she is now 4 years old. I called to book an appointment and they told me my account is closed and they cannot service me. I called 2 times in 2 weeks to get an update on my file, I NEVER closed my file. They claimed there is no proof of any of my phone calls. The manager of the office did not take the time to talk to my on the phone after I asked several times. They do not care about customers. They gave me no reason why the account is closed and they will not service my dog. This shows how much they care about animals. I was always willing to pay the price of every vet appointment and never had any complaints until now. GARBAGE. DO NOT GO THERE
Best Vet in the World! ... Dr. Kader and his staff are the Best! -Professional - Respectfull - Understanding - Clinic is always clean - Girls are polite and patient - means a lot . I've been a client more than 15 years and they always made us feel like family ... they love my little doggy and that makes all the difference! ... thank you to all u guy's . We love you all and appreciate you ... want a good vet? Hull Veterinary Clinic is the place to bring u'r pet --- you won't regret it ! ... it's all about u'r pet ---- Defenetly 5 stars ***** thanks!!!
Nice person
The staff are excellent professional made me feel like family I really recommend you go whit family animals for sure ???????????????????? thank you for taking care of my best friend Mojo
(Translated) I'll be polite in my comments. At first, I still liked this clinic. My French bulldog had very sticky nostrils and I was strongly suggested to have him operated. This is what I did at the same time as the castration ($$$). I already had a cone for him, but I was told at that time that he was too small. I highly doubted it, but hey! I pay for a new cone. Following his castration, a red bump appeared below his leg. I'll have it checked. First of all, we don't talk to the vet, but to an assistant who tells you that she will tell the story to the vet! Then the vet comes into the room looking at my dog and immediately tells me OMG he should have his nose operated! I don't know how he breathes! I was so insulted! Not able to read the file before looking at the animal and asked me to do the surgery twice when I had it done at their clinic. We finally look at the bump, she does not want to tell me, tells me that she can take a sample and send it to the laboratory at a cost of $ 177 plus $ 45 for the needle !!! She never got me mentioned the price of the needle is at the cash register asking for an evaluation that I get an extra $ 45 !!! Worse, she told me about cancer when my puppy was 9 months old. But she's not what she knows she says, it's impossible for her to tell me what she knows, but talks to me about radio, chemo and all. I ask for the price of a biopsy they are not able to answer me they tell me that they will send me the estimate by email. 3 days later and no feedback received! Not only are we never able to reach the clinic we play I leave a message in your voicemail box. He's just thinking about making money! We never recognize our animals when we go there and it's never the same staff! Looks like 50 people are there, but it doesn't serve you halfway. Basically, I went to another clinic and I was immediately told that it is a form of tumor to be removed as quickly as possible, no history of starting to do an analysis, I will waste my time and money !! !! In any case, I do not recommend this clinic. My dog is very very calm and every time I bring him there he is stressed like never before and needs in the clinic !!! Very bad experience! Worse a crazy price (Original) Je vais être poli dans mes commentaires. Au départ, j'aimais tout de même cette clinique. Mon bulldog français avait les narines très collés et on m'a fortement suggéré de le faire opéré. C'est ce que j'ai fait en même temps que la castration ($$$). J'avais déjà un cône pour lui, mais on me dit à ce moment là qu'il est trop petit. J'en doutais fortement, mais bon! Je paye un nouveau cône. Suite à sa castration, une bosse rouge lui a apparût en dessous de la patte. Je vais la faire vérifier. Tout d'abord, on ne parle pas au vétérinaire, mais à une assistante qui te dit qu'elle va raconter l'histoire au vet ! Ensuite, la vétérinaire rentre dans la salle regarde mon chien et tout de suite me dit OMG il devrait se faire opérer pour le nez ! Je ne sais pas comment il fait pour respirer ! J'étais tellement insulté ! Pas capable de lire le dossier avant de regarder l'animal et me demande 2 fois de faire la chirurgie quand je l'ai fait faire à leur clinique. On regarde finalement la bosse, elle ne veut pas rien me dire, me dit qu'elle peut prendre un prélèvement et l'envoyer en laboratoire au coût de 177$ plus 45$ pour l'aiguille !!!Elle ne m'a jamais mentionné le prix de l'aiguille c'est à la caisse en demandant une évaluation qu'on me sort un 45$ de plus !!! Pis en plus elle me parle de cancer quand mon chiot à 9 mois. Mais elle c'est pas ce qu'est sait qu'elle dit, il est impossible pour elle de me dire ce que sait, mais me parle de radio, chimio et tout. Je demande le prix d'une biopsie on est pas capable de me répondre on me dit qu'on va m'envoyer l'estimé par courriel. 3 jours plus tard et aucune évaluation reçu ! Non seulement, on est jamais capable de rejoindre la clinique on joue à je laisse un message dans ta boite vocal. Il pense juste à faire de l'argent! On reconnait jamais nos animaux quand on y va et c'est jamais le même staff ! On dirait que 50 personnes sont là, mais ca te sert pas à moitié. En gros, j'ai été à une autre clinique on me dit immédiatement que c'est une forme de tumeur à faire enlever le plus rapidement possible, pas d'histoire de commencer à faire une analyse je vais perdre mon temps et argent !!!! En tout cas, je ne conseille pas cette clinique. Mon chien est très très calme et chaque fois que je l'amène là il est stressé comme jamais et fait des besoins dans la clinique !!! Très mauvaise expérience! Pis un prix de fou
Emergency visit. VERY good service from Jennifer. Thanks
(Translated) Message for Dr Tounkara. I regret to inform you that I miss your personalized services terribly. Since the merger of your office with this clinic, it is only a disappointment. Expensive and impersonal services. I will therefore try to find another clinic that is more human and less on the chain. It's too bad. (Original) Message pour le Dr Tounkara. J'ai le regret de vous informer que vos services personnalisés me manque terriblement. Depuis la fusion de votre bureau avec cette clinique, ce n'est que déception. Services dispendieux et impersonnels. Je tenterai donc de trouver une autre clinique plus humaine et moins a la chaîne. C'est très dommage.
(Translated) Very good service and welcoming staff (Original) Très bon services et personnels accueillant
Great service. Prices are comparable to other clinics.
This is a very great veteranary clinic . The staff are very friendly and so are vets . They are not condescending at all . The prices are very affordable , half of what you would pay in Ottawa . I've taken many pets here and so haven't friends it's all around a great clinic .
I brought my dog Abby in this afternoon for an exam of some discharge coming from her eye. She is usually very anxious, guarded and uncooperative at the vet. This time was different. The vet tech, I don't know her name, was GREAT. She spent the time establishing trust and rapport with Abby before doing anything. It was like they were best friends for years. When it came time to measure her heartbeat and read her temperature, Abby was very cooperative. I want to thank the vet tech for making the experience the most positive ever for Abby and myself. I'd also like to commend the vet, who explained everything and administered the tests flawlessly.
Staff are very friendly and always someone who speaks English. Half the price of Ontario vets.
We had to put our family pet down after almost 16 years. The staff were so warm and very respectful! They even sent a card in the mail offering thier condolences not too many places are this thoughtful! ! Great & caring staff highly recommended!!!
Great service
Here from out of town read reviews eanted to bring my dog in for an emergency hotspot. Was told first there are no appointments today. Then I was told they accept no new clients? I was a veterinary practice manager foe 20 years and have never seen this. So if you are reading this looking for a new vet do not bother calling here! Unprofessional and uncaring.
The care and compassion shared by the doctors and vet techs in this clinic is second to none. The vets take the time to explain the issues my pets are experiencing and provide options of varying prices and complexities and allow us to make the decision on how to care for our pets. Maybe most importantly is that I have been taking my pets here for a few years and have never felt taken or "had" by the staff and doctors. I recommend this clinic whenever I have the chance.
Took my dog here thinking he had fleas they told me he didn’t and it was an allergic reaction to the groomer, and I spent $400 dollars on meds for him...when in fact he does have fleas and that’s all I needed to treat him for. They intentionally rip you off, do not go here.
fantastic service
Staff members remain very friendly despite my cat getting very aggressive when they take his temperature rectally or give him shots. The vets provide honest opinions rather than those that would benefit them financially :) I continue to highly recommend them to friends and family.
(Translated) I really enjoyed my visit. Very welcoming staff. Received great advice from the vet for my dog. I recommend it to you without hesitation. (Original) J ai très apprécié ma visite. Personnels très accueillants. Reçu de très bons conseils de la part du vétérinaire pour mon chien. Je vous le recommande sans hésitation.
place is clean and prices are ok
Great service and care for our pups ! Would recommend !
They will not accept new clients because of covid-19 yet are open and running. This doesn't make much sense for well being of young animals as they too need care and to be sterilized before a certain date.
Amazing Vets, great prices, straightforward and HONEST people. Full bilingual
I have been bringing my two cats and dog here for years. They offer good solid service.
(Translated) Never been able to have an appointment for the whole month of July???? (Original) Jamais pu avoir un rdv pour tout le mois de juillet????
Great place caring vets.
Dr. Tonkura is the best!!! I wouldn't trust my dog's with anyone else. The staff is amazing and the facility is super clean. They are always there to answer any of my questions. Would recommend this vet 100 %
the staff is friendly and prices reasonable. they are good with your pet
(Translated) My dog has an ear infection, I went to see my vet (who is not in this place and never will be) last week. I have to wash his ears before I put the medicine on him. Well, these incompetent people didn't want to sell me the cleaning product without a prescription. I have been buying this product for 9 years and have already purchased from them (a little over a year ago) without a prescription and with no problem. I do not recommend this vet for lack of skills. In addition, a call to their Order will be made tomorrow. It is enough to take people for cellars. After having made 4 places because they were all closed, there is one who sold me the product in question. So thank you very much for the waste of time and me who is still at the dog park will give you very bad publicity. (Original) Mon chien a un Otite, j'ai été voir mon vétérinaire (qui n'est pas à cette place et ne le sera jamais d'ailleurs) la semaine passé. Je dois lui laver les oreilles avant de lui mettre le médicament. Et bien ces incompétents n'ont pas voulu me vendre le produit nettoyant sans prescription. J'achète ce produit depuis 9 ans et j'ai déjà acheté chez eux (il y a un peu plus d'un an) sans prescription et sans problème. Je ne vous conseille pas ce vétérinaire pour manque de compétences. De plus, un appel à leur Ordre sera fait demain. Ca suffit de prendre les gens pour des caves. Après avoir fait 4 places car ils étaient tous fermés, il y a en un qui m'a vendu le produit en question. Donc merci grandement pour la perte de temps et moi qui est toujours au parc à chien vous fera une très mauvaise publicité.
good????????
I have been taking my dog here her whole life-7 years. The staff are incredibly nice, knowledgeable and helpful.
Horrible place dr Nazir is horrible went on friday to get my dogs ear checked she said oh no nothing wrong sent me home with a 65$ bill and a dog in pain no meds i call back because its bothering her more 2 days later they say bring her in and well charge you another 65$.... Ummm no i was there 2 days ago you give me the perscription
Thank you to all the staff at Clinique Veterinaire de Hull! We received great service and everyone was really welcoming. We had tried a number of different vets in the area and none of them "felt" right. We have a lab/pit bull mix puppy and we dealt with a lot of really ignorant veterinarians because of this, so we felt very reassured and comfortable once we found this place and realized how great the staff was. I will highly recommend this place to all my family and friends! Really reasonable prices too! I can't thank you enough and will definitely be bringing Moose back here when its time for neutering!
it is very expensive place
(Translated) Excellent customer service (Original) Excellent service à la clientèle
I had to take my dog to this vet in order to have his teeth cleaned and some removed. The vet (Dr. Nasir) was very good at keeping me up to date with the fluctuating price and my dog's overall health. Overall, I have had a really great experience here. The vets really care about the animals and they are really good at keeping owners up to date. There prices are also affordable
(Translated) EXCELLENT service (Original) exelent service
I will start by saying Dr. Tonkura has been fantastic from day one...….but then the merge happened! The service is sub par at best, every time I call to make an appointment I have to leave a message with no return phone call so I have to continue to call until I get someone on the phone. The person always tells me I'm not a client and we proceed for 10-15 minutes to find my file. Then we spend another 5-10 minutes looking for my dog's file because they tell me he is not a patient only my cat is. Once we get through that, I'm offered an appointment anywhere from 3 - 4 weeks away. My cats neutering was a disaster and I had to take him back within 12 hours because his wound was bleeding everywhere. Yes, they charged me for the process to repair the damage they caused. While challenging the charge, I find out my cat was not seen or operated on by Dr. Tonkura it was another vet. Of course this is unacceptable, you go to a vet for a reason and they should inform you if your vet is not available to see your animal. I asked when my dog's next appointment was for his shot and they told me they didn't know, check my records at home(thankfully I keep all of that together). I've been waiting since the middle of May to get my dog in...….still no appointment as of June 23rd! My animals are so important to me and I expect professional, compassionate, informative service from every level of a vet clinic. From the reception booking the appointment to the vet doing the exam and since the merge, this has completely vanished.

Clean, bilingual, very knowledgeable staff. They were a little unclear with billing but it won't stop me from going back
(Translated) I have never seen such a great lack of response from a local company. I will not go back to this clinic ... anyway, even if I wanted to, I do not receive a response from them in order to get an appointment date. The advice received during the one visit was much less developed than the advice received for our second cat in another clinic in the region! (Original) Je n'ai jamais vue un si grand manque de réponse de la part d'une compagnie locale. Je ne retournerai plus à cette clinique... de toute manière, même si je le voulais, je ne reçois pas de retour de réponse de leur part afin d'obtenir une date de rendez-vous. Les conseils reçu lors de la seule visite étaient beaucoup moins développés que les conseils reçu pour notre deuxième chat dans une autre clinique de la région!
(Translated) Dr. Kader is super nice and competent, he really loves animals. (Original) Dr Kader est super gentil et compétant il aime vraiment les animaux.

Have been taking my dog here for years - excellent staff.
Not only did my cat comeback with ringworm after getting spayed, they couldn't take me in when i called to have her checked afterwards. That was back in January 2019. In May 2019 i rushed my cat there for vomitting blood and dierrhea... vets were too busy having lunch in the back... NEVER AGAIN. Found a very nice vet elsewhere who checked her out right away. Cat doing much better now NO thanks to them! USELESS!!
These guys are fraud. I just travelled an hour and waited 4 months for an appt for my cat who needs her vaccines and she has a nasal infection. My cat was obviously distressed like any other cat I’ve owned and taken to the vet. They wouldn’t let me hold her and insisted they do it. They barely even attempted to touch her and then refused to treat her and asked me to leave. They can’t call themselves a vet. I could do their jobs better than they could. So unprofessional and borderline animal abuse to refuse to treat an obvious nasal infection. They are frauds to say they actually care about animals. Disgusted!!
Amazing service staff was outstanding I appreciate everything they've done for my cat!
Only been here once for a general checkup for my cat. Dr. Kader was great with him, and addressed the concerns I had about my newly adopted cat who had some health issues before I adopted him. Before jumping to running expensive tests I had been told to get done by the shelter, he suggested we try something else first to see if it helped and it did.
Wow, I can't believe they kicked my friend's cat out because of a google review about another cat. Back to carling animal hospital. Sad sad people. See ya!
Very wonderful place to take your animal. Excellent staff! We had a rockin! First visit here!!
(Translated) I am satisfied with the service offered at this place, because for five years, I receive a service according to my expectations. The staff is courteous and the vets are competent. (Original) Je suis satisfait du service offert à cet endroit, car depuis cinq ans, je reçois un service selon mes attentes. Le personnel est courtois et les vétérinaires sont compétents.
Unfortunately the clinic is not accepting new puppies and no wait list but it was highly recommended
Great service! Wonderful!
(Translated) The employees of this clinic are a GANG OF LEADERS who are not even able to adhere to their own opening hours !! (Original) Les employées de cette clinique sont une GANG DE MENTEURS qui sont même pas capables d'adhérer à leurs propres heures d'ouverture!!
Very clean, friendly and welcoming space. The veterinary assistants and veterinarian are knowledgeable and understanding. All staff are fluent in English and French. I shopped around for veterinary services and this clinic was above and beyond the best price.
(Translated) Excellent service. Passionate about the job. (Original) Excellent service. Passionné par le métier.????
(Translated) Good (Original) Bien
Dr Legacy and Dr Tounkara are both amazing and so kind, they offer amazing care. But the reception is god awful. If you'd like to take an appointment, you can either call non stop, or leave a message and expect a call back days later. Not to mention they are always booking 2 months in advance. If you'd like a same day appointment, good luck. You'll have to spam call first thing in the morning to get an answer, oh and if you do manage to get one, beware you'll get charged double for your visit. Their prices have gone up and their quality of service has gone down. This merge was honestly the worst thing to happen to all Lac Leamy clients. I really hope they start taking their client's feedback as many of us are complaining about the same things.
Awesome experience always they are amazing with my fur babies
(Translated) Still in need of food for my cat, ... (Original) Encore en manque de bouffe pour mon chat, ...
I was very disappointed with my services here. The prices were outrageous and the service was lacking. I brought my cat to get spayed and asked about the healing process. The vet said, “cats are like cows, she will heal the next day”. The well being of my cat was not in the vets best interest. He was trying to make fun of my serious inquiries. Due to covid, my appointment for the spay was canceled. They never followed up about making a new appointment. When restrictions were lifted, I would expect they’d contact their clients with canceled appointments as a proper service call... Since I was already feeling very uncomfortable with all my services there, I started contacting other vets. I found one where the price was HALF the price of this vet. I received impeccable service. They answered all questions and printed off helpful tips. I decided to use the same vet for my dog. My dog was experiencing some skin irritations so they prescribed me some medication and a week later called me to follow up on how the medication was working. This was amazing service. The vet actually noticed something that the previous vet at Hull ignored. I recall the vet committing on the issue but doing no further test. It had since worsen... if she had noticed something, she should have done her job better. It could have been dealt with before it got so bad... It seemed as though the vets at Hull want to finish their job and get on with the day. Much better vets out there. I would gladly suggest the vet I am with now (if anyone wishes)
Horrible racist vet place unbelievable They like French people only lol
Great service and care for our pups!
Really disapointed in the service. I brought my two cats for their annual checkup and purchased a dewormer for both. However, I accidently left the prescription on the counter when I left the clinic. This has been almost a month ago and despite MANY MANY attempts to retrieve it - speaking with receptionist immidiately after (she confirmed she found the package on the counter), leaving countless voicemails and even showing up at the clinic to pick it up- I still dont have the prescription that I paid for almost 1 month ago. I am probably at about 10 unreturnered voicemails by now. I am at a loss... when I showed up at the clinic, the people on staff wouldnt even issue me a new prescription (they said hey couldnt deal with fact that it was already paid for etc etc). I hate to resort to posting bad reviews, but this level of service is not acceptable. You took my money... now please let me have the product. Update: shortly after posting this, I got a call back and was able to pick up the prescription immediatedly. I am not sure if its related to this review, or if my voicemails finally got through, but this issue was resolved by the clinic.
I've been a customer for many years now and dont intend to change.
