Greg Clarke

We've been taking our kitties here for years. We unfortunately lost one kitty recently and the staff at WAH made a really difficult situation more bearable. Thanks team

always awesome

Ian and his team are incredible, to say the least. The love and care that they show and provide to each animal is truly touching. They have consistently gone above and beyond for our Pug, and we couldn't thank them enough for that. Take your pets here, you won't regret it!

Dr. Karen Sime was thorough, kind and very pleasant as she examined my dog to check for a possible injury.

Very friendly staff, excellent service.

Sybil (my Siamese) and I must give praise to the wonderful staff at Westboro Animal Hospital. Dr. Sime in particular is the best vet I have ever encountered in all my years having four legged friends. She was able to solve the many mysteries of Sybil with more attention and care than I have ever seen. All of the friendly faces who help the practice run smoothly are just great as well. Thank you Westboro Animal Hospital!

Jason Garcia

The staff is helpful and friendly. They take the time to explain what the problems are and what the prognosis is likely to be.

Jennifer Rose

This clinic goes above and beyond. They help you do what you can within your means and don't order, or push, extra testing. All done in a caring and understanding way.

Dr. Ian Cameron is an amazing doctor, loving towards animals and sympathetic towards owners in need. Our poor dog had very bad hip dysplasia and Dr. Cameron helped us through the surgeries and took a personal interest in both our dog and us. I would recommend this clinic to all pet owners in Ottawa. They have several great doctors whom I've all met during various check-ups and visits. You're in good hands here.

I highly recommend Dr Cameron and the Westboro Animal Hospital to all pet owners .I have had many Dogs and Vets . Dr Cameron is hands down the most caring Vet I've ever met and a great person. Our little dog is a rescue and an older dog. Dr Cameron has done so much for us we can't thank him enough. He really cares about your pet :)

Dr.Ian Cameron worked a miracle for my family. He genuinely cares about his clients and puts care into his work. He took the time to explain the surgery process to make sure we felt comfortable. He His staff was very compassionate, friendly and accomodating. They took superb care of my fur baby and I would highly recommend Dr.Cameron to pet owners.

If anyone needs a vet - I gotta say - you can’t do better than the Westboro Animal Hospital!! I have been with them forever (my family dogs growing up we’re all cared for there as well). Brewtus has needed ongoing meds since his surgery in November and they never even charge me for phone calls and emails to keep Brew feeling good. They don’t insist on seeing him because they know he’s old and it’s stressful. Dr Cameron patiently takes my calls all the time and cares so much about my little best friend. ❤️

Always a delightful experience going there. I am yet to see a vet who interacts with animals like Dr. Cameron does.

I cannot say enough great things about the staff here. Everyone is so kind and helpful. Dr. Ian Cameron really cares about you and your pets and will take all the time to address your questions and concerns. I have also seen Dr. Karen SIme and she is amazing as well. I cannot say enough good things about this clinic and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a place that actually cares about the animals they see everyday.

Clean, air conditioned, great service.

Russell Jones

Brought in our cat who had a limp. Charged a reasonable fee and she was cured. Only treats cats and dogs.

Joe Paialunga

Took very good care of our new dog with surgery and post op needs and care was very well explained.

BHK

So far so good with these vets. We brought our cat in for blood tests and were super impressed with the vet tech's handling of our elderly, scared kitty. The way she held him, you could really tell she loves animals, and he calmed down for her immediately. Their pricing is similar to others in the area, so pricey, but what are you going to do? So far, we're very satisfied with the level of care and communication between ourselves and the office.

Hana Hruska

Not a great experience. We had been using this vet for about 20 years when my husband had a dispute with his office staff. Dr Cameron dumped our dog and cats as patients. I had been taking the animals to their appointments and paying the vet, too, and I had never had a dispute with his office, and could have continued to do so if Dr Cameron didn’t want to see my husband. I should have guessed that women with male partners don’t count / don’t exist when the office assigned only my husband’s last name to our animals ( though at the time, I thought it was cute).

Egle Post

Dr. Cameron is a great vet, would recommend. Overall friendly service, only improvement they could make is be more organized

Maggie Paquette

Offer a great service especially during covid they follow community guidelines, and offer a great service despite restrictions. They are very clear about what services they are offering, they do not push anything, and communicate any issues clearly, and give clear solutions and steps. I would trust no one more with my cat, who is not even scared of going to visit them, because they have been so good to him.

Michael Bennett

Always a good experience.

Emily Fitzgerald-Wichmann

Always the very best care given! Very patient and understanding team. My dogs love them so much.

Kevin McBain

It’s been a downhill slope since we began coming here 4 years ago. They don’t care.

Tonia Snow

Dr. Sime and the staff of Westboro Animal Hospital were wonderful to us on the worse day possible. We had to have our sweet boy Elroy put to sleep and the caring, empathy and compassion shown was beyond measure. Dr. Sime made a horrible day slightly less so.

Jeanette Barker

I have been going to this clinic for over 5 years now and I have nothing but amazing things to say about the staff. We are always in good hands. Dr.Ian Cameron goes above and beyond for the animals in his care. When I first moved to Ottawa I had yet to find a vet and my poor little guy needed immediate surgery after hours I went to another clinic in town and they quoted me over 6k for this. I was a student at the time there was no way I could afford this. I was beside myself. So I reached out through my social media and someone recommended Westboro Animal Hospital. They knew Dr.Cameron so they sent him a msg and give him my number. He called me immediately and told me not too worry and to meet him at his clinic. He took such good care of my dog and saved his life. I am forever greatful to him and his team. If you are looking for honest, trustworthy, and a professional clinic that are their for the animals and not for the money look no further. They have you covered!

Lisa Arsenault

I trust my animals with the staff here and nowhere else. The level of care is by fare the best!

Diana Lam

All the vets here are wonderful, but our favourite is Dr. Sime - she is the kindest and most compassionate vet. When our cat was at home in comfort care, she consistently checked in with us and was endlessly patient with all of our questions. She really cares about her patients and helped us feel comfortable with tough decisions near the end. We are forever grateful <3

Dalton Robinson

Fantastic, understanding staff. Always helpful. Thank you for all you do!

Jay Mathewson

Kathtastic Morris-O'Donoghue

Love the compassion and expertise provided by Dr. Cameron.

C Dev

Great! Very friendly, professional staff. Sensitive doggo doesn't mind at all.

Silvio D

Amazing, save my dog's life twice. All staff members from Ian to jess to meghan to Eric are a God sent. They should have their own TV show. They are straight up and I love that

Huy Pham

Amazing people!!!

Sabrina Hockley

Ridiculously overpriced. Went in for annual vaccines for my small dog and it cost me $700... not very happy at all. Will be going elsewhere next year for sure. It only cost me $300 for the damn dog itself!

C Cc

I’ve brought my dog here for year. They are amazing My biggest memory is watching the vet carry out a giant golden in his arms so cute. Your pet is in good-no great hands. The vet tech as well are angels. I just can’t give enough praise for this business

Michael Paunesc

On the passing of our beloved Maltese, Phil, we would like to mention how grateful we are for the care, love and professionalism shown over the past 11 years by Dr. Ian Cameron, Dr. Karen Sime, Dr. Rob Clark and finally Dr. Shelli Meleck and their dedicated staff. Thank you! Michael and Julia.

Mary Mac

I absolutely love Westboro Animal Hospital. I can say that the above and beyond treatment that they have shown me has literally saved my 2 dogs. They ( all the staff and Dr. that have seen my dogs) are always able to discuss all concerns and treatment options so that I fully understand. I highly recommend this clinic for anyone who has a pet and wants exceptional treatment.

Dr. Ian was great

Nadine

Dr. Karen Sime is fantastic. She truly loves working with animals and you can see that the minute she walks into the office and greets your little fur baby. My 15 week old puppy is going through his shy stages and can be quite nervous around strangers. As this was his third vet visit (the previous two were done with his old owners at another office) I was feeling anxious to how he would react to the setting. My worries were instantly put at ease the moment we walked in from the woman at reception to meeting the Dr in the clinic room. A positive attitude goes a long way and Dr. Karen Sime possesses some great skills that can't be taught. Thank you for the great services... I'd never thought I'd say this but I think my dog loves the vet!

Brittany Gaudet

My little chihuahua Mr. Buzz had dental work done in April 2020 and though I couldn’t be there with him, Dr. Sime and her team kept me informed throughout the procedure. Any concerns I had afterwards, they were quick to my/his aid. Dr. Sime even helped me find a softer food that Buzz will actually eat. Super helpful and caring team over there!

Busy with a small waiting room

I was in charge of care for a rescue dog who had been in a fight and had severe wounds and infection. Initially we worked with a very skilled surgeon at the emergency clinic. Things went well at first but Noah hit a roadblock in his healing. We approached Dr. Cheryl Laite and Dr. Ian Cameron about joining the team to help find a solution to all of the problems. Long story short I was blown away by how amazing they were. It was incredible to see the 2 doctors and vet techs working together like a well oiled machine. Everyone was extremely knowledgeable but even right down to the personalities. Dr. Laite’s empathy combined with Dr. Cameron’s positivity was exactly what we needed. I had been lost, frustrated and didn’t know what to do but even after our first visit I knew we were in the right hands. Dr Laite basically made herself available at all times for any questions I had (and I had lots) which decreased my stress level but also allowed me to provide perfect care at home just by following instructions. The attached picture shows progress from day 1 (note the swollen sutures for bandaging) to the final picture being 2 weeks later. I never expected it to heal so well and so fast. They attribute the fast healing to the laser therapy and Manuka honey they used but I give them full credit for the success.

Though in theory it would be a difficult place to het to and find parking, it is far from that. Great location with designated parking for the clinic. Awesome friendly staff and very knowledgeable.

Lysandra Ryan

Sweet and knowledgable vet

Brando T

They have a habit of turning away poor sick animals in need for unjustifiable reasons. This so called animal hospital has no ethics or morals.

Paul Ensom

Very attentive and well explained care

Sarah Mackenzie

I called Westboro animal hospital in a panic when I found a tick on my dog. They were very helpful and talked me out of a serious panic, providing lots of advice and details about medications. If I lived in the city, I would definitely take my dog to them. Highly recommend!

Amazing clinic with a very knowledgeable staff .

Devorah Friedman

A good practice. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable

Joan MacPherson

My sister, a single mother who just moved to a new city woke up to a very sick dog today. This office clearly cares more about the animals than their bottom line and went above and beyond to help my sister get the care her puppy needed even tho is was well over what she could afford. I’m so grateful for them for making her impossible week a little bit easier by being so generous and kind and caring. Amazing.

Carolyne Zed

The vet was very thorough and explained everythig to me clearly.

Mireille Ethier

Everyone is so friendly on this team. We always receive excellent care for our dog and excellent response time for our questions. Recently our dog got sick and I called a couple of time for medication dosing schedule questions, I received a response within a couple of hours of asking my question to the vet assistant/tech. The only veterinary clinic we've been to in Ottawa, despite moving out of the neighborhood!

Wayne Craig

Take good care of my two dogs

Jeff E

Ian treats and focuses on each and every fur child as if it was his. Top notch dedication and compassion.

Ken Anderson

VERY EXPENSIVE, major service fee added to bill if you get prescriptions filled elsewhere (drug stores and online are usually much cheaper)

Brian Sousa

Extremely friendly and informative. My dog loves them!

David Murrell-Wright

Friendly, caring staff

Moira Alfers

Great experience! Ian Cameron is incredibly gentle and caring with your pet, best time my dog Angus Jamieson has ever had at the vet and he's almost 17, so he knows!

Roddie Dafoe

Great work by the staff and the doctors

Dr. Ian is the only person to look after your pet
