Excellent vet clinic. Really good vets.

JUDY CHILDS

Such caring people

Alan Pulfrey

This is an excellent veterinary clinic. They are professional, caring and conscientious. They follow up visits and always try to get you an appointment as quickly as possible. Our vet is wonderful with our dog - getting down to her level and making her feel comfortable before examining her. She also takes the time to make sure all of your questions are answered - you never feel rushed. The building is very clean and fresh smelling. I would give 5 stars but all this comes at a price and they are not cheap!

Sue Davis

Courteous/professional staff. Short notice appt. And super with our pet! Very attentive and never felt rushed or ambiguous answers to our questions. A great team of Dr's and wonderful care and aftercare. On the pricier side,however, our furbaby is worth it. Thank you all.

Barbara Wolter

Excellent service

Tammy

Had to book an appointment through this clinic during covid lockdown in order to be allowed in the clinic with my pet when many other vet clinics only allowed drop off. Giving three stars only due the fact that a few of the receptionists were extremely nice and sincere and very patient with me on the phone. I was dealing with what seemed like a complicated eye issue with my cat which luckily we have managed to sort out, only through an off hand comment of what it could potentially be, from the vet we saw. Will be returning to Seaside Animal Hospital in the future.

Michelle Toone

They really care about your animals. I have 2 Labradors and 2 parrots. They aren't avian vets but they did my rainbow lorikeet's nails! And the fee was minimal.

Dave Fraser

Too much of a business and makes u feel like a customer wen ur best friend is dying sick.....no small town appeal

Valerie Beck

I take my cat here, good vets and service!

Greg Towndrow

Great with diagnosis, but they seem so stressed they don't have time to listen. Overall very good, would defiantly go again !!

Grayce Guigue

Lilly was calm while at her appt. They are always so good with our babies!!

Predators Wrestling

Expensive for Roatan , but worth it for the amenities.

Kimberly Amos

Great staff and large clean facility.

Friendship Music

Sweethearts

Tina Zwicker

Friendly but expensive

Mike Broley

Fantastic experience! My puppy loved them and they were professional, courteous and extremely helpful! I would highly recommend!

Amanda Zwicker

They are awesome. Caring. Compassionate. And understanding. They know that your pet is family and help you to make the best decision with all factors considered. Our boy is has kidney failure from Lyme. He isn't responding to treatment, euthanasia is the last that they can do. However he is not suffering, still eating, drinking, going outside. We brought him home to live out the course of his disease. They understand our choice, it's what is right for him now. Later on, will be different. We take it day by day!

kate Smith

Awesome care & friendly, helpful staff!

Maxine Freeman

Good veterinary medicine. Very compassionate.

Kandace K

They are great here. Got my Raffi in the same day when he was feeling ill & on the mend. Very friendly and compassionate

Jan Pulfrey

Always excellent service from this clinic. Knowledgeable, caring, with many on-site services available. Of course, all this comes at a price, as fees are a bit on the high side, but we consider it worth it to get a trustworthy service for our dog.

Holly Veinotte

Everytime I take my dogs in the staff is always so friendly. They treat every animal with respect they deserve. They give you every detail of your animals check up and answer all of your questions. I love going in.

Akash Purohit

They are amazing, very friendly staff! My new puppy couldn’t hold her bladder and needed up having an accident and they were happy to clean it up! Dr. Rachel Hughes was great, she did a great job explaining the issues Hope had and was great with her while giving her shots! Also let with a goodie bag for Hope and mom and I were thrilled! Will be coming back and recommending to everyone!

Stephen Rines

Have been taking Winston (my dog and best friend) here since moving to south shore. Staff and Vets have always been awesome.

Emily BlueHoodie

Great with my lab puppy. Very gentle n explained everything that is needed in detail

Jack Morrison

The only vetenarin we trust with Skipper

Sean Maguire

Awesome staff and vets. Our only regret is having x-rays done at $180 when it turned out to be Lime Disease. That's our fault though, we directed the vet away from that initial prognosis thinking it was just him spraining his ankle from bolting off the deck so many times. So when the vet suggests doing blood work first when your dog has sore joints, I suggest you do it before the X-ray. Our dog is now on the mend a mere 2 days later he is no longer limping due to getting the the proper treatment. Lastly, get your dog vaccinated against lime disease. It was cheaper than the $500 we had to spend and $75 on medication we did not need. And no, you can not return medication for our furry creatures either, just like humans can't :)

Chris Gerow

Quick efficient service during covid.

smallblockchev1964

Very Professional and very good Veterinary care!!

Paul Emmink

We've been taking our pets here for years, but no more. This clinic has changed,. They now seem to prefer maximum profits over good animal care and fair prices. You seldom see the same vet twice, costs have gone through the roof. Nice people but.......

Bonnie Finck

Our go to vet for all our animal needs. Only one with large, farm animal services. They have been to the farm and provided prompt courteous service. Appreciate all the care and compassion from their knowledgeable Drs and staff.

Sherry Dickson

staff are awesome!

Versys Chris

Great service, maybe slightly pricy.

Jenna Crouse

I called with an emergency and was met with no help or compassion at all. I was told the vet was in Yarmouth and I should try somewhere else. I called because my mother has been bringing her animals here for years with great reviews. I won't ever call again. And if you have an emergency, I wouldn't recommend calling this vet.

dianne fraser

Excellent experience

Tabetha Wentzell

Great staff and facility but will unfortunately be switching vets. I quoted a pretty standard proceedure at three diferent vets and as it turns out i will be saving at least $150 to go anywhere else. I recommend you do your research and "shop around" before emptying your pockets at south shore.

Adam LaPointe

Caring staff and no upsell.

Mhari Lamarque

Great folks there! Knowledgeable and kind.

CA Babin

Always friendly and provides excellent care to our dogs.

Wendy Rockwell

They looked after my scaredy cat well and were gentle and reassuring to her. Let's hope we got the problem fixed.

Spencer Jameson

Good service. The veterinarian was very helpful and informative about us having to get our cat's tail mostly removed due to injury. They know what they're doing but the problem is cost. Very expensive in comparison to other vets in the area for their services.

Kevin Bryden

Great staff helpful

Rebecca MacLean

Skilled and caring veterinarians, you don't feel like just another number here. The South Shore Vet does their best to accommodate your pet, and if you have a situation they'll get you in ASAP. The vets are incredible and the staff are great at their jobs.

Sauro Giannini

Very very good service

Chris Gerow

Quick efficient service during covid.

Terry Furlotte

Great and friendly staff

Bret Hampton

Took concerns of ours regarding our pet seriously. Was thorough and professional throughout the visit. Took time to listen to our concerns and talked us through their diagnosis.

Briana Fletcher

Excellent service. They have good caring staff who help with all of my pet needs. I've had dogs and cats in to see them and am always impressed. My elderly kitty had some health troubles going on and they were able to fit her in that same evening. I also love that they're open later (at least they were before Covid-19).

James Robert

Seen several doctors and they were all very good.

Melissa Fancey

Best place for animal care. Wonderful staff and a great modern facility. They do have emergency hours too which has saved my pets life.

jeannie swinemar

Great, love this place. Knowledgeable vets, great vec techs, great front office staff. Top notch equipment for xrays etc.

Patricia Kay

I was quoted a price on the phone for an over the counter product and when I picked it up it cost quite a bit more than the quote I was given. When I mentioned this fact, I was met with indifference and told well that's the price... I have since found the product cheaper through another vet office.

Shannon Richardson

Very friendly reception. Equally friendly Veterinarians. Cost is what I expected.

Fay Patey

Most vets are good.

A caring conscientious place.

Gaylord Bourne

We were vacationing from the US when our dog got sick. Although there were no appointments available they offered us a spot on a waitlist. We waited about 15 minutes before we were brought in. Dr Colwell was extremely attentive during the visit and on subsequent phone calls to explain test results and possible treatments. I never felt rushed.

Linda Buchanan

Theyare awesome people

Debbie Harding

Wonderful staff.

Steve Whynot

They were very compassionate when we had to have our animal put to sleep because they were dying and suffering. They were the only vet out of the three we called who allowed us to be seen immediately. We were asked to wait until Monday by one vet. I would highly recommend south shore vet.

Great vet service for 2 of our 3 dogs. We recently relocated to NS and these folks have been great! Quick, efficient, caring service.

rosalind brake

Great staff, very friendly and accommodating. Took a family dog to have checked without an appt. Had to wait awhile because they were booked, very pleased with the reception. No complaints.

Stan Beland

We called for help with our injured dog, and were told that Vets are like family doctors and you can only see your own family doctor. We were visiting from out of town so that wasn't an option. We went to the Bridgewater Animal Hospital on North Street who saw our injured dog within 20 minutes and had her up and running right away. If you're from outside of Bridgewater, or even local and you're not a client, don't bother calling. I've owned animals for 30 years, and I've never been told to take a pet somewhere else because we weren't a client. Brutal service and misguided ethics.

louise campbell-hirtle

I brought my 18 year old cat in because she had a bald spot on the back 8f her head. Dr Megan Crouse was AMAZING! She did a,very thorough exam and when the bloodwork came in she explained everything to me so that I could understand ???? They are the best!!!

hina jane

everyone makes mistakes but i have nothing but bad things happen here. was told i should put down 1 animal that was completely fine a few days later. took a ferret in. got told they didn't know what was wrong, still got charged and that would look into it and call back. they never did. took a bird in and the same thing they charged me a crazy amount for the visit said they would ask around to find out what was wrong and call back. and just never did. if you cant provide a service fine. but don't take peoples money for doing nothing.

Corey Laird

Terrible experience, I needed a emergency visit but they wouldn't take my dog in because I have never been there before and didn't know were my dogs past vet visits where, I just needed help, someone to look at him and put him down. I went elsewhere and got him looked at and put down. Unfortunately he had cancer. I just needed help for him. I would not! Recommend this place.

Nicole Robson

I was initially thinking I would just leave this alone and not make a comment, but then I thought maybe some much needed changes could happen based on my experience. My senior diabetic dog got sick on Monday, given she had diabetes I called the after hours vet to have her looked at, he did an exam gave her some medication, that was fine. On Tuesday later afternoon she started to have difficulty again, I called the vet to see if I could get her in that was around 6:45 pm and I was told there were no appointments and there were 5 people waiting to be seen in between appointments, so my choice was to bring a sick dog in and wait hoping I may get in (they were well aware of her history). I said I will keep an eye on her and call the after hours vet if need be. At 8:30 pm I called the after hours vet and was told she was very busy and possibly couldn’t see my dog until 1 am. She called back at around midnight and asked if I felt I needed to come in or I could call at 8 am to get her in. By then the dog was sleeping so I decided to wait incase the meds were kicking in from Monday. About 2 hrs later things got worse but I was hesitant to call back as it didn’t seem my dog was a priority. I called the vet right at 8 am to hear the recording saying they are closed, I finally got through at 8:15 and explained she needed to come in right away and explained all of the above, the response was they had no appointments but they could fit me in maybe around 10 am I said we are in crisis here it needs to be before 10, I was told 9. My dog clasped shortly after so I headed to the vet early, I called from the car and explained we were on our way early because she was getting worse. I had to carry her into the vet at which point I was told to wait it wouldn’t be too long. I waited over an hour as people came in with their not in crisis dogs. I realize people had appointments but there has to be a significantly better system in place for emergencies. And my girl was an emergency she passed away last night at the emergency hospital on Dartmouth. I hope no one is ever treated the way we were. I’m not saying the outcome for her would have been different, but maybe her pain and suffering would have been less. I was trying to get my girl help and I felt I couldn’t. I realize the after hours vet is one person, but maybe if they are as busy as she said she was there needs to be a second vet on stand by. I was also charged $30 for my call to the after hours vet and all she did was tell me she was concerned about my girl, but was too busy to see her because other dogs had life threatening situations. Well guess what my girl’s situation was life threatening too, she’s dead now. This ends my business and relationship with South Shore Vet.

Chris Ephgrave

My pup Sophie just past away, and the staff at south shore veterinary were fantastic at looking after her for the past ten years, and when she passed away they took great care of her dealing with the cremation. I thank all the staff here, you are awesome. Chris.
