Reviews of Fairview Animal Clinic (Veterinarian)

Charlene Geyer

Have been bringing my family pets here for almost 15 years, amazing vet practice!

Anne Prada

Always great service and a vet, Dr Combs that's that calls you at home to give detailed information. I just love that. The prices are reasonable and for older pets I really appreciate that they don't force vaccinations. Been going for over twenty years.

Susan Paterson Keller

Very good place to bring your pets. The service is excellent and all the doctors and staff are kind, gentle and compassionate people.

Carley O'Hara

The most incredibly caring and compassionate team I have ever encountered. They always provide options and advice and answer all of my questions. Dr. Nick especially always goes beyond my expectations. I've been coming here with my babies for a long time and I hope I never have to look for another vet again. I've never been afraid to leave my babies with them because I know they are in the best hands in the region. Words fail me but I simply could not recommend Fairview Animal Clinic enough. <3

Norman Botts

Very clean, friendly service! They know how to take care of animals here.

Jane Morris

Took my cat in to have his irregular claws cut. Friendly service. Lots of people waiting though. Cost of nail clipping $20. Guess that's about the going price. I checked price on a rabies booster and thought it was really expensive at $105. Will have to check around to find out if that's comparable.

Jen A

Mike Strom

Would like to see a website with more info. Email etc...

Shirin Pillay

Dr. Snider was truly amazing. He was very patient and gentle with my puppy. He took the time to explain in detail all about my puppy's ailment and also answered all my questions. I wish I could give more than a 5 star rating.

Laura Arango

This is an excellent local to take your furry family members!! The best! We suffered a terrible scare last night with our pup and we were in a craze with where to take him as we're new to the area. Fairview animal clinic had stellar reviews, so the choice was obvious. We were not disappointed!! Comfortable atmosphere and reasonably priced. Connie and Amber were so helpful! Dr Snieder was kind and understanding to our concerns. He truly cared about our emotions. He was very knowledgeable and made sure we understood all our options and care instructions. Highly recommended!!

Kalypso

Very friendly and helpful staff. Reasonable prices for outstanding service and care. These people love animals and would never mistreat a patient

Mike Robinson

I have been a customer here for over 25 years, and did take one of my pets to another place only to be disappointed! Skip the grief and just take your pet here! Bella loves it!

Cynthia LRoberge

Have been taking my fur babies here for years. I don't know what I would do without them. One of my pets is a difficult patient but always take the time he needs.

Duncan Malcolm

9 years of care for Malachi not one false diagnosis, when it came tim in mle to euthanize him, the staff along with Dr. Locking treated my family and Malachi as if we were a part of their families. I have high praise for Fairview animal clinic.

Andrew White

Very friendly service, prompt care and reasonable prices.

Tara Otto

Destiny loves our Sumo (Bull mastiff) as if he was her own. Always getting down on the floor with him, kissing his face...she goes above and beyond for him and his needs. We are so very thankful for the care and genuine love she provides. Our family would highly recommend Destiny and the rest of the medical staff at Fairview. Thank you all so much.

Jor dan L

Everyone's always so nice and professional, always a pleasure when I bring my dogs

customer service goes above & beyond expectations, everyone was so great to me when I had to say goodbye to my companion.

Yesenia Marroquin

I've been taking my fur baby here since we got him as a puppy and have only ever had the best experiences. They truly care about your pets and offer affordable service. I highly recommend anyone bring their furry family members here.

Fairview animal clinic has been our vet of choice for many years. 6 dog and 12 cats in our time dealing with them. We have only had great experiences with them. Very compassionate, caring vets. If you need a vet you can trust, and rely upon. Check out Fairview.

Ian van Groningen

We've been going there since the '80s. They are decent and honest, and their fees are reasonable.

TheHutch42

Thank you Dr. Combe for taking good care of my furry friend and updating me throughout the day on his progress. You truly are passionate about what you do. A million thank yous!!!

Rachel merry

They were unable to get me in but gave me great advice! Probably saved my kitties life..

W Nelligan

Very courteous and informative. I'm glad there is a vet similar to the vet in Cape Breton, NS where I took my dog.

Mike

I've taken both my cat and dog here for many years. The quality of care is always very good and the vets are attentive and always listening and asking good questions. Parking is a bit tight but i recommend this clinic for your furry friends.

Barb

I'm so happy we found this place years ago! They have a very caring staff, and they pay close attention to the needs of their patients/clients. We have never had any complaints. They try to keep the cost reasonable while taking excellent care of our pet. We've been with them over a lot of years with more than one dog and have always had confidence that our beloved pets were in good hands. I highly recommend them.

Darryl White

These people are the absolute best. I have 3 large dogs, Lab, Sheppard, and Doberman. Besides these 3 my last 4 dogs have gone to these fine folks. Newer staff these days which worried me. Fact if the matter is the new staff made this place even better. Very highly recommended. Not that it's the biggest variable, but their prices are fantastic. No high pressure BS that they try to talk you into either. Nine at all. They'll give you the whole option list of treatments if needed. Then the recommended options. And then you decide with no pressure. Awesome place. Everyone I've ever seen there loves them as much as me and my family do. They're fantastic. I could keep going but I think it's pretty clear Fairview is my Vet of choice. And I have been to many others out of convenience and just to test the waters. I never went to any other vet more than once because of these guys and gals.

Bill Battersby

Caring vets and frontline staff....couldn't ask for anything better....they treat the animals like they were their own

Mikel Hudlin

I just moved here in August and asked around for the best vet, all agreed it was Fairview. I was not disappointed! The staff learned all about my 3 girls and their names on the first visit and always ask about them. The care is amazing and they are what other vets should aspire to be. They really don't act like they are paid to be there, they truely care what is in the best interest of the animals, I'm completely blown away by them every visit!

Rob Felker

This place is truly incredible. The staff are knowledgeable, genuinely care for your animals, and know what you need to hear. Through hard times we have seen real compassion and the sound of money was never heard. Pet first. Buissness comes when your ready. During simple checkups, our medly of pets actually love going to the vet now. We have tried many over the last few years. 11/10 hope I don't need to, but if I have to, this is the vet for me

Ls D.

Great staff who take amazing care of the animals & their owners.

Jackie Termorshuizen

Wonderful friendly service.

Farah A

Short wait times, they were so understanding when I couldn't get my cat in on time because she refuses to go into her carrier. The vet was super sweet and my cat was comfortable with her

Shannon Bullen

They take good care of our cats

Adia Sherwin

We have had such great experiences with all of the staff at Fairview Animal Clinic. The care and compassion, understanding and commitment to returning to health has FAR exceeded ANY experiences we have had with all vets before. The ladies at reception are always quick to answer any questions, and can book you in for an emergency quickly. The only occasion they didnt have time for us, they referred us to an emergency vet clinic and waived 80$ of our fee as an apology. The doctors are also great with communication to their clients, and you can see they genuinely care and love our animals. It really impressed me the teamwork they display, always asking for second opinions from the other doctors when in doubt. It's such a good feeling to walk in and have a staff member (whom you've never met before) know the name of your dog, because they "heard alot about her case". When we moved here, we chose this clinic based on google reviews. If you're looking for a new vet, definitely go here!!!! Nothing but good to say about them!

W Nelligan

Very courteous and informative. I'm glad there is a vet similar to the vet in Cape Breton, NS where I took my dog.

cynsaturn

Staff is always compassionate, and take wonderful care of our fur family members, to be honest they saved our dogs life, because of them he is still alive

SK R

I have been going there for almost 30 years.... They are very compassionate, listen to you and take the concerns seriously and are at the same time considerate of the dollar amounts you have to spent. I like the no nonsense approach... they really do what is best for the animal. Every single person there was always nice to me an my dog. They always make time. I recommend this clinic kindheartedly...

Gord A. Robinson

Always good service. Friendly staff. Clean.

Sarah Brenn

I hate the parking lot

Frank Croft

We have had Fairview as our vet for years, will never change. They are so caring, knowledgeable and compassionate. We honestly couldn't recommend them more. Fantastic!

Madison Dayboll

The staff is friendly and the price is affordable! My dogs actually look forward to seeing Dr. Schneider! We have been taking our dogs here for years! We moved out of the city and continue to bring our dogs here!

nick_sound_guy

Literally the best vet in Ontario. Saved me thousands in ultrasounds!!!

Bianca Perron

Wonderful caring staff. Never forget a pet!!

Ruba Alam

This is a very caring operation. The whole team is committed and devoted to the welfare and well being of animals.

Derek Bennett

Great vets. We love Dr.Schneider

aceace58

Never bring your animals to this clinic its only good for shots and check ups. Two of my dogs got put out on this clinic they cant do anything when it comes to a serious illness. Their only option is to kill your pet. Never bring your dog to an emergency here they are not specialize for serious ilness or emergencies. Will never bring any of my pets again. Not recommended

kelly gauthier

Love them all. So good to Link Link still doesn't leave his puppy.

David Greenlaw

They really k ow there stuff

Heather Edgar

Always excellent care and service

Heather Tomlin

Has always looked after my fur babies with care

Rach Robinson

Highly recommend. Very clear and honest with the information they give. My shepherd was diagnosed with a broken leg and told the only option was surgery. Brought her to Fairview for a second opinion and found out surgery is not in the question nor is her leg broken. Seemed very compassionate about the animals they care for. Super thankful for this clinic!

Lisa Barry

Absolutely outstanding care and support during our loss. Everything was explained to my granddaughter she was allowed to be part of our beloved pet being put to sleep. Cannot thank the staff enough. Thank you xx

Karin Dhaliwal

We were new to St. Catherines, recently bought a home here and got a puppy and were having a hard time finding a vet asap to get our puppy checked, vacation shots, etc., this clinic was amazing in responding to our needs, plus we had two cats that moved with us, so needed a new vet. After calling many good rated vet places, this place responded immediately to our needs. Staff are extremely friendly and caring. ❤

Heather Pieretti

Everyone here is amazing. I recently put down my cat of 13 years and have been going to Fairview Animal Clinic over these years. Such caring and compassionate people. I highly recommend them to anyone who's looking for honest, caring vets for their furbabies!!!

Wenda G

Very caring staff. Nice clean hospital. Very happy with them.

Erica Keel

Friendly staff, short wait times

Samantha Ellis

Friendly vet, very caring of our cat.

Buck Jonson

Great experience every time. They really care about the animals and their prices are totally reasonable. Absolutely recommended

Joanne Neudorf

They were awesome ????

M C

Only bring for shots or flea/tick if your regular vet is closed. Unprofessional and expensive. Vet misdiagnosed my six month old puppy and he died. Do not bring your animal there in an emergency. 1. They do not have the tools to help you 2. They will send you somewhere else without stabilizing your pet first.

Liza Klepacs

The staff at Fairview Animal Clinic are all very kind and compassionate. Dr. Coombs has been our vet for 3/4 of our golden retrievers and has always guided us in the best ways as far as health care and treatment for our fur babies. When the time came to put the last 2 down, Dr. Coombs was equally as saddened and right there by our side providing a gentle and empathetic presence.

Jennifer Elizabeth

The caring staff here have always been wonderful to my animals for many years. Mia is not afraid of the vet, despite having terrible separation anxiety in most situations. My only complaint is the small and difficult to navigate parking lot. 5 stars for the staff, as that is what matters most.

Jane Hanlon

Timely, considerate, knowledgeable.

Jonathan Baldin

Incredible staff

Scott Stacey

Great staff. Professional and you can tell they care about the animals

Tracy Marshall

Dr. Harkness is my daughter in law! She truly does love all animals! Her passion for animals goes over and Beyond everything else! You’re truly very lucky to have her looking after your fur babies, she takes wonderful care of my cat George. She’s amazing!

Shawna Hogg

I thought the staff were all very welcoming and very friendly and I feel like they generally care for thier patients i had a very good experience at this clinic and would recommend it to all my friends.

Krysta Macara

Very helpful and informative. Took the time to explain all things puppy

Tiffany S.

We were attending a previous vet for several years, who would poke and prod at my pets, say "hmmm" then turn and type into the computer. Never really explaining what was going on. I have a Puppy Mill Rescue Pug/ShihTzu mix who super stresses at the vets and with meeting new people and I didn't feel our Vet was telling us everything. So we decided to shop around try out Fairview. Destiny immediately got down to her knees and called over my little dog, who, shockingly for me, ran right into her arms! She was so loving with Felix! She was so patient with me and handled me with just as much care, while I questioned everything, and explained my distress about being left in the dark. Their prices are so reasonable! With the initial introductory once over, check up and his up-to-date vaccinations it was half the cost of our other Vet! I couldn't be happier! Thank you so much Destiny, for putting this pet parent, who's fur-baby is her life, at ease!

Debbie Pugh

I would highly recommend Fairview to anyone who is looking for fantastic people to care for their pets. They are very caring and take the time you need to feel your pet is getting the best care. The staff are all very friendly and always willing to help you out any way they can. They have helped me so much with my animals I can never thank them enough :)

Gale Brown

Dr. Destiny Locking is the best Vet we've ever had, and even though we've moved out of town, we still bring our three dogs to her. It's worth the drive!!

Marcia Doucette

They care very much for animals, but are quite overpriced. They don't seem to be able to hold on to their doctors for long, so I am going to shop around.

Mark Collee

They are very caring and good with our dogs.

Stephanie Briand

We unfortunately had to put one of our Fur Babies down and they were very supportive. But for those Not Vaccinated, you can't go in with your baby in their last moments. I, fortunately, am, so I went in with my sister's cat while she had to say goodbye...out in the car. And she had to decide right then on what Cremation Urn she wanted for her pet. One suggestion....they should let you go in with your fur baby, let them go rest in peace, then come back to the car. Not while you're in tears and holding your pet and just want your pet to be out of pain Otherwise, they were great.

J MacD

Amazing people working here. My entire family brings all their pets here. Quick and the prices are very reasonable for all manner of services or medications.

Todd Stevens

The doctors and staff are compassionate and caring when you and your pets need it the most

Michael Kalapos

Great staff

Holli Cummings

Been bringing our animals here for many years and have always had fantastic service. Great with the animals and all of the staff are very compassionate.

Taryn G

Dr. Nick is so amazing, takes his time to get to know your pet so they are not afraid and also takes his time to explain any risks with medication your pet may need. Really love our experience here.

Lindsay Sino

I took my cat for a checkup prior to moving him in to a new home, with dogs, and receive such great service and treatment! Not only was my cat given the care and attention he needed, the cost was very reasonable and a few days after the move, the Vet personally called to see how Mister Marbles was adjusting to his new home. I would highly recommend taking your pet to the Fairview Animal clinic! ..it is obvious that the staff there general love and care for animals.

angus stubbert

This is the place for your pet when you feel vulnerable!

Alain Guitard

say they are there to help animals and wont sell dog food for specialty diet if not a patient so much for helping animals, terrible service...

Nick Lupish

The staff there is amazing !! They treat everyone with great respect and love the animals so much. Thank you for taking care of Algernon

Debbie Waller

Great, friendly staff. Treat you and your pet like family

Rosalie Pankoff

Good place to bring your sick pets.

Dino Valente

Not impressed....first time at a vet so not sure what to expect. I was supposed to receive an estimate after the consultation and didnt....too busy...they said someone would call and didn't.

Rachel Alraun

My review only reflects recent visits. I was a customer for 15 years and loved it until recent. Recently i booked an appointment for a regular checkup and shots. I came to find out i didn't have my usual vet i was with someone new and not informed about it. i didn't think much of it until now. This new inexperienced experience with my dog. My dog was misdiagnosed in my opinion which is causing lots of health problems now. When i called to complain i had no feeling of the owner caring. Over all the new vet has confirmed that my dog did NOT need the medication that they gave him. And this medication is what caused some health issues. It has been a nightmare!! i expected more after 15 years of loyalty. There is so much more but not enough space here for my disappointment. Very upset.

Gorzath Scott

I feel safe taking my pets here friendly staff

Connie Venneri

Caring, compassionate staff. Reasonable prices

Dianne Chisholm

Vets are caring, and take time to explain. Receptionists could do with some customer service training. Very sharp and curt. Glad they are not the vets or would go to another clinic.

David Gee

I would avoid this place due to a lack of professionalism. Poor service and gouging of prices

Penny Weatlake

Best vet around

Andrew MacInnes

Searched for a while to find a new vet here as we just moved to St Catharines. This place is by far the best. They are friendly helpful and not pushy about things. They won't do unnecessary procedures that stress you and your pet out like other "money grab" clinics can be like. Dr. Nick was pleasant, this will be where we take all our pets

Adrian Boulianne

Great care for my animals. Personable.

Te Ri

Dr Coombes was great with my cat Michael. Very trusting with this very!!!

Joanne A

Friendly staff who take the time to answer any questions I may have combined with reasonable prices make for an easy decision to stick with them.

Jessica Koopman

Great vet that cares. Prices are also reasonable and they don't pressure you into the "gold plan" like most vets. They give you options.

David Dailly

Alicia (our vet), and all of the staff at Fairview Animal Clinic deserve the highest of praises for their compassion, dedication and empathy that they provide for our animals medical and physical needs over the course of our pet's lifetime. In early 2020, our handsome Golden Retriever Winston was diagnosed with a heart condition. Alicia and staff were there for us every step of the way, providing support and crucial care for Winston. He was doing well until he developed a cancerous tumor on his tail in December 2020. Ultrasounds and a biopsy showed that this wasn't an operable tumor so we kept him comfortable with medications. Alicia was wonderful at this time, often providing her services free of charge to wrap and clean his tail every two to three days. If anyone is looking for people who truly care about the animals that they treat, look no further than Fairview Animal Clinic. Our words of thanks don't seem to cover the gratefulness we feel for the depth of care, compassion and appreciation that they all provided for us. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts. David & Jan

Jordan Hunt

Friendly and great service.

Ok Tackle

Very nice people.

Garth Thomson

The staff at Fairview are terrific! I'd used a different vet in town but they got to a point that everything was $$$. My dog even seems happier going in at Fairview. She doesn't immediately turn to want out. They are friendly, compassionate, accommodating and honest.

Lee Power

Best Animal Doctors in Niagara Region.

Derek Ross

Our 2 year old pup caught kennel cough. They diagnosed and treated her almost instantly. 10 days later after meds, she's back to her normal rambunctious self :)

Cheri Stevens

Always a great experience. Awesome staff. ????????????????

Jennifer Langelaan

Very good with all my dogs (3 so far), fair pricing, and willing to answer all my questions. I can tell they love helping animals.

Paul

Good care for our pets, on time, skilled and caring staff.

Dylan Mcaleer

Extremely professional and friendly staff. This was my first time bringing a pet to a vet so i was nervous but they took the time to explain everything and even showed me my cats issue in some textbooks with greater detail. Very reasonable rates for a visit and medication and a great experience overall. Will be returning in the future for sure.

Jim McKinley

Our vet, Elisha, has always been professional with our puppy, Nash, who absolutely loves her! We are happy having our pup here, as well as all our other animals.

pam meyer

Amazing! So knowledgeable and caring!

Julianne Clarke

Great group of vets and staff! Very friendly and accommodating been going there for many years with our various pets!

Alicia RB

All staff were quick, diligent, and friendly. Dr. Harkness was great! She answered all of my questions and concerns with detail, care, and conciseness. Exactly what you need, esp. in this pandemic. Hopefully my future visits will be similar :D

Sandra Kalapos

Very caring
