Reviews of Dartmouth SPCA (Veterinarian)

Terence Kot

Very helpful and friendly staffs to help us to get our new family member.

Isaac Goggin

Who doesn't like cats and dogs?

Amanda Hirtle

I am very unimpressed with this vet. I contacted them for their spray and neuter program for the subsidize rate and sent them a copy of my welfare sheet as prove via email. They scheduled an appointment and I went in. Never once did they discuss price. They took his info and brought him to a different room for the surgery. Then and only then did they tell me it was $224 and when I said i don't have the money they dropped it to $154. Like who takes your dog and then tells you it costs such and such? Why didn't they tell me the cost before booking the appointment? Overall I am not impressed

Amr Alsayed

Awesome

Michael Facey

Amazing. Kind and conciderate staff.

Stacey Fry

I WANT ANOTHER DOG

Marie Gouthro

I adopted my kitty from here and the fact fee was great because he was already neutered and micro chipped and had a clean bill of health.

Kevin Kirby

We have gotten 2older cats from them one finished his life out at our place . The other one is now 6years old and thriving . Friendliest cat ever . Staff kind and very pleasant to deal with

Pamela Skerritt Ricketts

Great place to help find yourself a furry friend. I do wish that they would call at least 1 reference but I did get my bruce from there 2 weeks ago and it was a great experience

Matthew Kehoe

We've adopted 2 dogs from them and the experience has been wonderful! Everyone is so caring and helpful. They helped us complete our family, and we will never be able to thank them enough!

Brad Feicht

Great people. Great animals. I will definitely continue to support this location.

Just stopped by to drop off a couple of cat/dog beds and was met with a very lovely and polite woman who was happy to receive the beds one had a cooling system in it and she said it would help with an animal with a high fever never even …

Great people

Gillian Bridger

Volunteers and the amazing animals

J

They do a wonderful thing here to volunteer and find pets good loving forever homes

Websy

Everyone was really nice and the animals seem to be well taken care of. It's clear the staff aren't completely familiar with all the animals personalities, but that's to be somewhat expected when so many animals go through their doors everyday. They have standard vaccines and deworming treatments for all the animals and the animal I adopted was microchipped but I'm not sure if that's a standard there as well.

Big hearts strong hearts ????

Norma Mitchell

I recently adopted a cat from the SPCA. They are passionate dedicated people who appreciate the time and support that people bring when they walk the dogs out pet the cats.

Wayne Whitty

We adopted our sweet Bella from Dartmouth spca the best thing we ever did not sure who rescued who though, thank God for the people who really care. And ask for nothing in return

Staff are incredible! Whether you are looking to volunteer, donate to a great cause, or adopt. My first adopted kitty and I am thrilled beyond belief... They also have a 30 day bring back policy if needed...

Jean

Best place to adopt animals! Great team! Good job guys! I’m glad there’s people who care for animals as much as i do if not even more!

Elizabeth Oldford

They went above and beyond to help us.

Caroline Davis

I adopted a kitten here back in January, and the process was quick, pleasant, and painless. The staff were very helpful and clearly love their jobs. Facilities are clean, the animals well cared for, and the on-site vet conducts once last check before you leave with your fur baby. All in all I would hightly recommend the SPCA when looking for your next pet!

Robert Davis

Great animal shelter very friendly even adopted a cat from here

K

If you ever need to snuggle 30 different cats, this is the place for you.

keirra star

They sell cars that are in the worst condition and the illnesses are life threatening too. They misinform you when they are selling cats. They lie about treating them when they are sick. And they don't tell you what you need to know about the illnesses. Plus they do not cover the treatment like they say they do. READ EVERYTHING ABOUT THEM FIRST!

Kinley Revels

We get our "puppy fix" there on a regular basis. Family field trip destination and one of favorite charities.

Colin Nieforth

Dedicated employees and volunteers who have a passion for helping animals.

Tammy King

I got my best friend there. XoxoX

Jeanna McAvoy

Awesome place to volunteer. Have been here for 15 years.

Emily Dean

I have had nothing but amazing things to say about the SPCA. I moved to Halifax in 2013 and adopted my first two cats in 2014. Each time I went in for adoptions, I was met with high professionalism, and compassion for the animals. My …

Timothy Mcinnis

Great services

Buck Naugle

Great staff and it was nice to see people care about our four legged loved oi nes as well as the unfortunate ones that still aren't adopted. Also with the kindness of the SPCA they microchipped and vaccinated mine for free with the spay and nuetering. Thank You

Aiden Morine

Love this place! Where else could you walk a dog or cuddle kitties? Props to the staff!

Geraldine Drake

Dropped off my dogs things after she passed away. They were having a spay/neuter clinic and adoption drive. I highly recommend getting a pet from here. I will be once I'm ready.

Sean McMullen

Kind and intelligent staff. They made my wife and I feel very comfortable as we looked at different animals for potential adoption.

Alexander Grinton

Wonderful

Jessica MacDonald

Cute lil kitties

Michael Lynch

They are underfunded and at capacity(even though their Burnside facility is spacious and modern). The staff of the SPCA look like they are run off their feet but yet are courteous, thorough and professional in dealing with the public and especially in taking care of the innocent, helpless, discarded and forgotten of the creatures known to man. And all with the most tender of care. Whether those creatures are furry, feathery or scalely. Clearly the need is there constantly for help and I was very glad that I did.

We love this place.

Helpful staff. Can get busy and not a very big place.

Edna Preston

for people that wont to help you are very hard to get a hold of tried for two day to get a hold of them because some one through away a sweet cat and all I need is to fined out how much it would cost to get her all fixed up and you wont pick up the phone I know you are busy but there should be some one there to pickup thank you

Very place and real helpful staff and friendly

lynn rafuse-goodwin

Had our female cat spayed there last week. Very professional and a low cost surgery.

Chelsea Rose

I adopted my cat Joey from the SPCA in September and it has been the best thing I ever did! There are lots of animals who live with foster families so the actual building isn't too crowded with animals. Plus the benefits to adopting at cat from the shelter are numerous. My Joey was already neutered, microchipped and fully healthy when I picked him up! Plus you get a free vet check up if you book within 2 work days of adopting your new pet.

Simon Ross-Siegel

They find good homes for good boys. You get to come and walk a dog, and the dogs are so well behaved when you do. They make sure you leave with either the right dog, or the dog leaves with the right owner.

Animals in need of a good home

Marshal Monson

I found my love from there.

Matthew Gillis

This place is really well kept. Staff are super friendly. Everything is organized appropriately. I wish I could take all the animals home!

Annelies Beumer

Horrible experience, very disorganized place. I had put a cat on hold and when I got there they adopted him to someone else.

Diana Richards

Great service

Mau

The location is terrible. I love this organization but taking their dogs for a walk in an industrial location without much access to grass is tough on my heart!

Holly Shaw

My Heroes! They really care.

Jeffery Burke

Terrific people ,great pets !

Mae Fredericks

I love pets and the work that this place does for animals. Could ask them to do more. I have had a number of pets from there and they were wonderful. They stayed with me until the passed. Sad but happy to have given them a great home.People said in a reference for me that they wished they could be a pet of mine. That's the way it should be for these poor animals as that is what SPCA does for them. Finding them good homes and making them better prepared for a good home as well as making them healthier. Also I love the fact they do reference checks. However for kitties them seem to have stopped that part. Hope they always do for doggies. I take seniors as they are more expensive as they age and not everyone have the means to do so. I wish CRUELTY towards animals be stopped everywhere.

Natasha Corbier

Love coming here to visit the kitties

Alex Bokma

Great animal care with helpful staff.

Travis Conrad

Great friendly staff

Jenn K

They call back quickly when I have questions and they introduced me to my foster dog, making sure she felt comfy with me on her own time.

Sharon Tibbetts

Adopted cat needed attention ????

Grace Olson

Great place to go to adopt, or even just connect with animals! They have open dog walking (most dogs not suitable for walking with children though) and also an open cat room! It's a great place to visit, volunteer at, adopt from, or donate to :)

Heather Young

Gor my kitty from here ...and she was treated very well when she was there

Zso

I hesitate to discourage those willing to adopt an animal from a shelter- goodness knows the cats and dogs and rabbits at the SPCA need good homes- but our experience was discouraging. We adopted a 10-week-old kitten, just neutered, from the SPCA in Dartmouth. The following day we learned that he had two undiagnosed infections and that his neuter surgery had come about four months too early, according to our neighbourhood vet. I paid to treat him immediately because I made the commitment to include him in our family no matter what. However, I am disturbed that he was subjected to surgery too early in his life, possibly compromising his health later on. Def caveat emptor.

Ian MacDonald

The only hard part about visiting is that I can't take them all home

Greg Spark

Can't wait to adopt! He was cuddling and snuggling as soon as i picked him up! Instantly fell in love

Ray Beazley

Great place to spend some time meeting adoptable cats and even getting to walk a dog or two. Staff seems friendly, knowledgeable and invested in the well-being of the animals. Adopted my dog from there 2+ years ago, pleasant experience and turned out great.

Keon

Great cause

Lindsay MacKenzie-Genter

Wish I could take them all home with me

Tempestt Bartlett

Amazing staff.

Mighty Kraken

Great service, wonderful staff.

Terri Purcell

Even though my Smokey Bear went to heaven on January 7, and my heart is now broken without my best friend, the staff and vet were amazing with myself, as well with my sweet, sweet boy. God bless them for all they do and kind hearts.

Misa U

They made some serious color changes and it looks so much better. The staff usually friendly and willing to help and love the animals they come in contact with. I adopted my cat from there 3 years ago and it was the best decision ever.

Walter Rudderham

Always a good time at the spca

Eli

Does great thing for pets and spay my cat at a reduced price!

Bader Basset

What can i say, i had a dog emergency that involved my golden retriever to get checked by a vet. Called in the morning and was in to be seen later the same day. they took very good care of my dog, they preformed a X-ray and Stool Lab work. They cared more about my pet then what i have to pay. they worked with me on payments on what i can and cant pay. these people care about the animal first before your money. Glad a place like this opened up in Halifax to help people in hard times get help.

Tabitha Hamelin

Ellevetica Designs

Adopted my kitten via the cat lounge. My kitten was sick and needed to stay a few weeks at the shelter. He received great care but getting info about what was wrong, what meds he was being given & when he may be able to come home was like pulling teeth. I understand they are very busy but it was hard not knowing anything about what was happening with my pet. Fairly friendly staff when I picked him up but the process was a little rushed and the area cramped, again, they are busy and put the animals above customer service which is fine. Just found the staff a bit more personable and helpful at the city pound where we adopted our dog.

Kimberely Russell

We adopted a kitten about 3 weeks ago. She has a condition that makes her wobble when she walks, plays and eats but we couldnt be happier with her. We knew she was the one the moment we saw her. She's a bundle of energy and sometimes a little monster but shes captured our hearts. Her name was Charlotte but we have since renamed her Ahri.

adopted my new beautiful adult cat from here, she is the sweetest girl, the staff were friendly and very knowledgeable i would recommend this place to anyone looking to adopt a new little furbaby. They also give you a free 48 hour Ver visit you take your pet to any place within and they will pay for your visit and any medicine that may need to be prescribed i sadly missed mine due to working doubles :( but overall grear experience.

Awesome place, they took real good care of my friends kitties when the baster trailer park supervisor had them sent here.

Robert P

Great place full of caring, passionate people

Judy and Brad Weber/Crosby

Wonderful organization!!

D Jones

A bit underwhelming considering the size of the city. Restricted access to dogs is discouraging and the cats or not given free time outside of their metal enclosures together.

Dawn Murphy

This place is amazing that take good care of there animals

Jason Collin

Caring & knowledgeable staff.

John Stone

Just a great team

Alex

Penny Corkum

I can not say enough good about my experience and the staff at the Dartmouth SPCA, they gave me an amazing gift, Freyja 11 weeks ago, what an amazing dog and she means the world to me. She comes to work with me and greets customers every day, a great Ambassador for the SPCA. Thank you so much, I love this girl

Lynn Martin

Terrible just terrifying.

Courtney Ross

Loved coming here to walk dogs, pat kittys, something to do when your bored. Plus they enjoy it way more then you do. #1 spit for an animal lover walk as many for how ever long you want, but 1 at a time!

Very caring staff and volunteers. Made our adoption very easy and stress free.

Sybil Nunn

Staff are friendly and welcoming. Dogs needs come first. And I suspect most of these hard working folk are volunteers

Stephen Rievaj

They do a truly wonderful job taking care of the animals, and making sure they're for their forever homes.

Tim Dittmer

Awesome place to volunteer and get a pet. Very knowledgeable + they do their best to ensure it's a good fit. What I didn't know: they have a 30 day "return policy" so if things don't work out you can get a refund or use the adoption fee as a credit towards another pet. There are sooo many advantages getting your pet from the SPCA. If you're looking to get a pet, please consider adopting.

Gordon Sellons

always great to see people help animals

Tammy Acker

The staff is always friendly and helpful. Animals are well cared for and the facilities are kept very clean. A great organization with wonderful programs that not only help animals, but citizens who need a helping hand. Never let an animal suffer - reach out to an SPCA.

Very friendly staff and the animals are well taken care of.

Judy Gariepy

my son adopted a cat from there he had kitty cold sneezing a lot and runy eye he was treated 2 time with no success he actually has gotten worse I took him to my vet who said he needed aggressive treatment this was on Saturday he gave 4 treatments which I payed for my son had the understanding that the spca would cover the cost. I went to Dartmouth today I should add that I tried to call on Saturday no one answered the phone so here is my problem the cat is sick do I let him go until Tuesday long weekend or get the meds with the understanding that the spca would cover the cost. they refused and said that one of the meds was not needed even though the vet said he had to have it they said All we had to do was put him in the shower and that would take care of his eye infection I though the vet probably is trained to treat animals and has gone to school for a long time to be able to do then It was suggested that we could bring the cat back I guess to bring him back to the spca would be better then being with some one who loves him and is very nerves that he might die. I always though that the spca was a place for unwanted pets who were unloved or hurt then the would fine loving forever homes for them . I now have a different opinion of the spca I have dropped off many item at the Dartmouth office many time and have also dropped of at pet value but not any more my son left your office in tears he loves this cat and he doesn't want him to die so I guess to end my story spica doesn't care weir her these anamils live or die as you can tell I am very upset that he was given a sick . I have myself 3 rescues 2 cats and 1 dog who are loved and are well taken care of.
