Dakota Veterinary Hospital

Recently we had to switch vets due to our vet retiring and Dr Bartley/Dakota Vet was recommended by a friend. We immediately made an apt for one of our dogs as the vet we had been seeing since our vet retired was concerned about the increase in intensity of our dogs heart murmur and wanted to do an EKG and Xrays. Dr Bartley examined our dog, and decided the first course of action was to do the EKG first and then determine if further diagnostics would be needed. The EKG was booked promptly and in the end it was a best case scenario and no further treatment is needed at this point.I found all of the staff including Dr Bartley super lovely, and easy to talk to. All of our questions were answered, and I didn't feel like I was being pressured into unnecessary testing (and incurring unnecessary costs). The pricing is reasonable and the team knowledgeable. The hospital is a bit of a drive for us but we are completely willing to drive wherever to receive honest, informed and compassionate care of our fur family.

Wow! We were referred to Dr. Bartely at Dakota Veterinary Hospital due to our dog's history of reactivity. We have had two visits and have been so impressed with the staff and the Fear Free" approach. Our dog responded so well. Thank you!!"

As much as Dr. Gould has been my rock and source of confidence in navigating the aging process of my dogs - I want to give special recognition to the front desk team at Dakota, and in particular. Larissa. Her communication is clear, confident and concise - which helps me as a pet owner feel confident. Whether its getting prescriptions filled, setting up appointments or answering questions - or helping me in a moment of worry or panic. Larissa's service level on the text messaging service with Dakota is top notch. I personally believe she gets to know the dogs and owners that come to Dakota, and she takes a vested, personal interest to ensure your questions and needs are met. When she says she'll ask the Dr. to get back to me on a question or confirm something with medication - she follows through. I don't take that level of commitment and service for granted. Larissa, you're truly a part of our dog family's healing and health journey.

Dakota Vet is very caring and shows genuine compassion for my dog Tucson.He had minor surgery lately and they forgot to take out one of the stitches. Disappointed as no one took accountability for this error.I got a call from their administrator regarding this review. We had a nice conversation and she was very interested in my issue.Dr Gould is the best and I will continue to take my dog to Dakota vet.

After moving to Winnipeg, I had 2 very bad experiences at two different vet's, and I was worried about finding a good office. I then remembered about Dakota. 11 months after moving here, my beloved 6 year old cat Little-bit, died in my arms of intestinal cancer. I hadn't planned on getting another cat for awhile, but a few days after Little-bit's death, I was told about an elderly cat (around 18-19 years old)whose elderly mum had been admitted to hospital and not expected to live. Her family took the cat, Biggy, to Dakota to be euthanized, but thankfully they refused to put down a healthy cat. They said they'd keep her and find her a home. Biggy had been living in a back room at the office for almost 5 months, and people loved her, but they didn't want such an elderly cat. I heard about her a few days after Little-bit passed, and I knew that I couldn't let her spend the end of her life there, she needed a home and a new mum. So against most people's advice, I became mummy to the renamed Miss Biggy, and we enjoyed 17 months together. I then became mum to Chewie, who had been a barn cat who was accidentally injured when a horse stepped on her, breaking her leg. It wasn't safe on the farm for Chewie anymore because of lynx, bobcats, coyotes etc, so my cousin sent her to me. She was violent and bit me badly many times, including one bite to the bone. The vet at Dakota diagnosed her with nerve damage, and a mild head injury. She's now on anti anxiety meds and a pain killer, and she rarely bites now.Dakota veterinary hospital has been great to me, but most importantly, they have cared for my my precious fur-persons in a kind and compassionate way. I recommend this veterinary hospital to anyone who is looking for a good and caring place.

We recently rescued an older cat, and the team at Dakota Vet has been great at treating her and getting her healthy and happy! The staff clearly love animals and want the best for their patients and the pet owners. Highly recommend Dakota Vet Hospital!

Dakota Veterinary Hospital is the absolute best vet clinic I've dealt with. The team is friendly and helpful and my dog is totally at ease there -- which has not always been the case at other clinics.Appointments at Dakota are never rushed and I always feel heard when explaining any concerns about my dogs health. Lastly, the pricing is always well-explained and reasonable which is just a bonus on top of the great care.Keep up the good work!

Dakota Vet has been amazing. Recently switched from Pembina Vet and really happy we made the change. All the staff have been super friendly and made both our dogs feel really comfortable. Dr. Bartley was fantastic, she made our very shy and hesitant bulldog feel at ease.

The staff that work at Dakota Vet are absolutely amazing. They're always super friendly and helpful. Dr. Gould is always incredible with my pet rabbit. I can always feel confident knowing that the staff actually care about my bunny.
