AVC Veterinary Teaching Hospital

Excellent facility for a wide range of specialties, as well as an amazing emergency department. The vets & students have always taken great care of our dogs, and I am happy we have this expansive option for care.

Going to the vet for an emergency is never easy and you are sure to go through all states of mind.What's important to remember is that visiting a vet emergency means that you never know what will happen. This is the nature of the department.There is a triage system to look after the sickest / most acute pets first. Some days they might be super busy and some others might be a little quieter. Bottom line, the vets, the techs, the admins, they are all here to try their best and look after your pet.We were there over the weekend for Yogi our cat, who vomited many times over the past 24 hours, wouldn't eat or drink and was lethargic. We were seen quite quickly (within about 2 hours). The vet we saw, Dr Vernick, was amazing. She took the time to assess Yogi and made some recommendations. We were given options. She answered all our questions.We had to go back 8 hours later to repeat a x-ray. We had to wait again for a few hours. It was much busier. There were some pets that clearly needed prompt help over Yogi, which is once again the nature of how an emergency department works.We saw again Dr Vernick. And gave us options on what to do next.Over the course of 48 hours, we went through been worried, mad, anxious, happy, sad, etc. But during all that, I knew that they were doing their best to help Yogi, and the other pets.I would definitely recommend seeing them for an emergency. But I hope not to see them again too soon :)Thanks to the all AVC team

Excellent care and treatment for my boy Skinny. He was in the most capable hands here.

Took my cat wiggles in cause he wasn't feeling good. All they wanted was money . They threatened the pei humane society on me and they every half hour wanted me to put my wiggles down and they even got the UPEI security guard to come make sure my parents and I would be leaving. They didn't want to give me back my wiggles blanket toy and kennel. WE DID NOTHING WRONG AT ALL!!!!!! They had put so much STRESS on me that I almost landed in the hospital and they tried BLAMING my wiggles death on me . They didn't show any hearts .. they made me feel like I was nothing!!! The amount of stress that they put on me I was having really really really really bad chest pains . I am NOT IMPRESS with they at all. My cat wiggles passed away on Sunday September 18/2022 . When my cat wiggles passed away they wanted me to leave him there and I refused to leave my wiggles there after the treatment they gave me. They didn't even say sorry for yr loss cause they really don't know how to show their hearts for when someone is losing their fur baby.

Dr. Doucette was absolutely amazing. My cat Milo was not doing well at all and was diagnosed with bladder stones and a UTI. The care by Dr. Doucette was so wonderful. She is truly an amazing vet and I cannot recommend her enough. She made us feel so comfortable and was very honest with us about Milo's condition and his future. Thanks to her, Milo is doing amazingly well and his bladder stones have dissolved and will not need surgery to remove them. Milo and I thank you so much!!

The best place to ensure expert care for your pet!

Took my little boy after he had a seizure. They saw us right away and were very kind and compassionate. Dexter checked out okay after an exam and bloodwork and we went home. He is doing great!!

The vets and staff here are wonderful, they took great care of our lab while she was there for her knee surgery. They took the time to answer all our questions and called with updates to let us know how she was doing after surgery.

Thank you so much for your professional care of my cat Baxter.He was taken to emerg on a Sat and stayed until Mon.Special thanks to Dr Marlene Desmore and Dr Sarah Fillioe and the support staff at Emerg and ICU for their compassion.Baxter came home for 4 weeks but sadly had to be remitted and thanks to Dr. Mitchell Carr and my daughter Tammy RVT .staff at AVC for putting Baxter to sleep. For the coffin with his name on it and warm blanket he was put to rest in. Also the paw print that l could pursue with the company that supplied the clay.Your loving care meant so much to me as Baxter was my late husband's ( Nov 28/2020) buddy.

I have been to this vet twic in the last 2 weeks. 1st for my cat and then my tempermental dog.During our 1st visit, I had to bring my son with me. Staff stopped to say hi and play.They helped me to the car with the cat and baby. I was shocked and incredibly thankful.The technicians were attentive and kind, and the vets were incredibly professional. I could not have had a better experience.
