Bowmanville Veterinary Clinic

We want to thank all the staff for taking care of our beloved family pet Diesel.Your kindness, compassion and professionalism in trying to cure him was so appreciated.Thank you!, Lina & Cassandra Bryant.

We have been brining my dog here for about a year (2020-2021) now.The staff is amazing but in the year they have given us medication that expired in 2017.Another time gave us half of the medication we paid for.Both times upon calling they did fix it. Just ensure you look over the medication they give.

This is a long one, but worth a read if you're considering going to this vet!!We've been taking our year old bengal to Bowmanville Vet since he was a baby. Unfortunately, he ate something he shouldn't when he was 6 months old. He was vomiting for weeks and it came to a point where he stopped eating altogether. We rushed him to Bowmanville Vet, where they squeezed us in on a very busy Friday. I told them what his symptoms were and what he possibly ate. They requested that I leave him with them for the day so they could do xrays and give him the care he needed. Note that he was extremely dehydrated when I brought him in which I told them. The whole day went by and we finally got a call right before they closed, only to get there to be told that his dehydration was too bad for us to care for him at our house and that there was definitely something stuck in his stomach. We rushed him to the emergency clinic in Peterborough only to be told that the Bowmanville vet did nothing to help his dehydration. They were shocked that he came to them in the state he was in knowing that he was at another clinic the entire day. Goes to show that they likely forgot about him, left him in a kennel, DEHYDRATED until it was time for them to close, and then shipped us off elsewhere. We expressed our concerns and they only wanted to talk to us via phone call (assuming so there was nothing in writing).Fast forward another 6 months, my sister's dog ate something she shouldn't have. So my sister goes to Bowmanville. They did the x-rays and told her no questions asked, she has something lodged in her small intestine and needs to go into surgery immediately. I was told they weren't concerned and had an almost 'don't really care' attitude. My sister gets more xrays done at another clinic before the scheduled surgery and they say that there's definitely NOTHING in her stomach but that she has been poisoned. My question is, how does Bowmanville Vet not have the appropriate tools to figure this out!? If the dog went into surgery she very well could have died given the state she was in. This was another situation where Bowmanville didn't provide the care they promised to give. Neglecting our cat and then misdiagnosing my sister's dog.I gave them the benefit of the doubt and called to express my concerns. I talked with a vet technician who was extremely rude and defensive. You'd think they'd want to clear up the situation but instead I was met with nothing but combative behavior. I wasn't directed to the vet or even the clinic manager. THEN two days later they hand deliver me a note that says they will no longer be caring for my pet effective immediately. Which is absolutely absurd because 1. I never planned on going back and I told them that and 2. then didn't even bother coming to a resolution but instead forced me out of their clinic because of the way THEY poorly treated my family's pets. The manager who sent me the note didn't even call me to understand the situation before sending the note. Who runs a business like that!?The moral of the story here is to be cautious of this vet. They clearly don't take criticism or feedback well and are really downright petty. In addition to providing sub-par care.

I had to bring in my guinea pig in today and I thought for sure it was my last day with her. Everyone there was so helpful and wonderful. I got to go home with my girl but I have to say they genuinely care about your pets and told me to please email them in a day or two to let them know how she's doing. Wonderful staff!

I was there a few days ago with harley who had gotten attacked by a stray dog everybody at the vet was very very nice and kind and understanding they were great and I appreciate all the help and I feel I owe them my life because my dog is my life.

We took our beloved dog Maggie here who sadly had be euthanized after 16 wonderful years of love, laughter and joy. EVERYBODY there is so over the top caring, compassionate and kind. Words cannot express the gratitude my husband and I feel towards these people. If that wasn't enough, they sent us flowers the next day in memory of our dear little fur baby. Thank you Bowmanville Vet Clinic from the bottom of our hearts.

I have brought 3 of my rats in for euthanasia and will not look elsewhere for these services! The staff is compassionate and caring before, during and after the process. Reception is wonderful and book you an appointment quickly and easily. The vets are there to answer any of my questions with kindness and have always treated my rats with such care. For an exotic vet, the fees are very good and reasonable! If you are in search of an exotic vet clinic, look no further!

We brought or French bulldog dozer in for a nail injury and his visit turned scary due to his breathing. The team saved his life when he was in distress and had to put him on a breathing machine. The teams quick response and training saved our little guy. The team is extremely professional,Knowledgeable and quick to respond to any emergency they may face. It is because of the staff here that dozers life was saved and we got to take him home. Thank you to the staff for all u did to ensure dozer was stable and could come home. We appreciate all ur efforts. Highly recommend this vet for all your furry friends needs. God bless u all

Who sends a new potential client away and tells them call all the other vets in Bowmanville, learn some manners when talking to people!!!
