Toronto Veterinary Emergency Hospital

My family had to bring our geriatric dog for end of life care today. Staff were patient, compassionate, and respectful throughout the process. Starting with my phone call asking for options, to bringing our dog in, and letting him go. It was a difficult time but it made a huge impact having a positive experience with the staff here. So thank you to the team.I’ve also had to bring my other dog in for tests last year and they were also very thorough with explanations, didn’t force any tests or diagnostics on you and good follow up.

My Frenchie had swallowed a nectarine pit at 10:30 pm and we were unsure of what to do. We called in and the lovely front desk workers provided wonderful support. Brought our girl in at 11:30pm and was out by 1 am. The doctors and nurses were all so friendly and helpful. Wonderful team- thank you!!!

Losing our beautiful robust adventurous Mick Jagger at only 6 yrs old to aggressive lymphoma was something we couldn't fathom. Our furry boy was the light of our life. To have to put out that light (that was rapidly dimming from the disease) took a huge amount acceptance, tears and ultimately understanding.We want to thank the team of people at the Toronto Vet Emergency Hospital. Special thanks to Dr Brittany Martin for all her hard work, quick response, and availability.Thanks to Dr Christian Catalano who helped us to come to terms with what we knew were the inevitable and heartbreaking next steps. Dr Ana Avellaneda for her gentle demeanour and for placing Mick jagger warm & relaxed in our arms, where he would take his last breath.All of the staff at this hospital were kind and genuinely sympathetic.Sincerely,Michelle and John

They took wonderful care of our epileptic girl during a true emergency. I called on the way to let them know that our girl was in status, and to give them details to save time. As soon as we arrived, they had a tech carry our girl into triage to stop her seizure. They made sure that our treatment plan was something that worked for everyone, and they saved her life. We're so appreciative of the wonderful staff who cared for our family member while she couldn't be home with us, and had to stay in their ICU. They didn't take advantage of us, like so many animal care providers do, when they knew we had to turn to them for help. There truly aren't enough words for how great they were. Dr. Turnquest, and Dr. Nasser were both patient, explained everything clearly, and were happy to answer all of our questions honestly. The techs, and front of house staff were sympathetic while our family was in such a vulnerable situation. We will never be able to thank TVEH and their wonderful staff enough.

Even though I lost my best friend, I want to recognize and say thank you to the staff at Toronto Vet Emergency Hospital.My sincere gratitude to Dr Leung, the triage attendant and the person at the front (I’m sorry I didn’t get your name) who showed so much compassion while speaking with my family about our options after Yoshi passes. Thank you for giving us as much time as we needed to say our goodbyes and for making us feel as comfortable as possible. And most importantly for the care the staff all provided to Yoshi. Your kindness and compassion, were truly appreciated during a difficult time for my family and me.The decision to put Yoshi down was an incredibly painful one, but the care and support that you provided made the experience a little more bearable.

Really liked Dr. Blair and how he explained everything to us in detail. Our family cat Leo has FeLV and got hit by a car and was having secondary issues (diarrhea and pain). We weren't sure what was wrong, but it was decided to leave Leo as an inpatient. He stayed for two days. He was on IV fluids and was sent home with additional meds. He is doing MUCH better and is healing well. We're very pleased with the outcome! I took a quick picture of him while he was there. (He looks sleepy because he had to get a rectal exam while being sedated)UPDATE:Leo is all healed and back to his usual self. I'm very grateful for the team!

My puppy broke his arm around 4 months old. My husband and I were so stressed on where to go and what to do. We were referred her for surgery and it’s been the smoothest and easy process during our stressful time. Our boy Bowser has been thriving ever since. Every issue or question was answered and they will work with you for the best care for your dog

This clinic, and the dedication, knowledge, and service of the staff is truly remarkable. My dog was quite ill, possibly requiring surgery, and the staff provided excellent advice, taking the time to answer questions and reassure me and my dog. This is my second experience with this clinic and I drove past others to come here. While waiting I witnessed the speedy and efficient response of staff to emergencies that came through the door. This is definitely an exceptional facility and I thank everyone there for the care and kindness that was extended to my little dog. This definitely my go to" place for a sick pet."

Yesterday during the blizzard as I was entering my building with my dog the powerful winds slammed the door shut on her tail. My poor girl suffered a bad laceration, there was a lot of blood, we quickly applied pressure and drove to the nearest emergency clinic. The reception staff and triage nurse at the Toronto Veterinary Emergency Hospital were welcoming and helped calm our nerves. Now for the Veterinarian, myself and my partner both agreed it was the best Vet experience we’ve both ever had. Dr. Emma Dooley took the time to help us thoroughly understand treatment options and did not hesitate to answer all of our questions in a patient and caring manner. We sincerely appreciated being spoken to almost as if we were a friend or family member, she clearly was not just in it for the money and had our pet and our family’s best interests in mind. The care was exceptional and she instilled a lot of confidence in our ability to manage the wound at home. The experience was traumatic but the silver lining was the care our dog received at this hospital. I am so relieved and know exactly where we’ll be headed if another accident happens. Thank you Dr. Dooley and the entire team at Toronto Veterinary Emergency Hospital we are so grateful for you!

Not to happy attended this vet at 11:45pm due to my dog was hit by a car friday around 11:15pm. The vet said she was ok no internal bleeding no broken bones. She prescribed some pain meds, sent us home saying come back up only if her breathing changes. Got home around 1pm gave her pain meds watched her till 4 am and fell asleep. Between 4 and 7 am she ended up puking and died. By 7 am her body was already in full rigimortis. How can u be told your loved animal will be ok by a vet she just need time to heal and not even 7 hours later have her die. Very angry with the sevice because there had to have been something wrong and she wasnt checked properly. Its not like i didnt have 15000.00 to do what needed to be done. But still my beloved Brandy died.
