Mountainside Animal Hospital

Our family boxer has been a fun loving, energetic dog companion to the entire family since the day we brought him home at 8 weeks of age. He had some health challenges no doubt, but he always was a kind and gentle soul no matter what. It was a hard decision to finally come to, but Dr. Taylor and the staff at Mountainside treated him as one of their own when we brought him into the hospital in distress. We are all sad to say good-bye to our boy, but knowing that he is no longer suffering gives us comfort. Thank-you again for being such a compassionate team, it is much appreciated.

Thank you for taking extra gentle care of my Ruby who had a UTI. Veterinarian Dr Tomas Homer was exceptionally helpful, kind, patient, and informative. Ruby says thanks, too!

We went to Mountainside after our furry friend Boston terrier Elvis" got run over by a car. Elvis received all the support and first aid that was needed to make him stable on life support and critical care provided by Mountainside Animal Hospital Team.After making him stable they referred us to Canada West and we took him there. We are lucky that Elvis made it and is well now because of the timely critical care provided by Mountainside team and the timely recommendation provided.Thank you team Mountainside you folks are awesome."

I’m a veterinarian myself, and my dog required emergency care that the clinic where I work could not provide. My experience experience at Mountainside with new Medical Director Dr. Harry Cozens and visiting endoscopist Dr. Eugene Gorodetsky and the staff was so caring and accommodating, and met my pup’s complex medical needs. Highly recommend!

We took our kitty Hugo in last Thursday as he refused to eat or drink and was experiencing abdominal pain. This was our first visit and we were accommodated quickly. The hospital was comfortable, spacious and had tea and coffee in the waiting area.Hugo's vitals were taken in front us by a lovely woman and while we did have to wait about an hour to see the actual vet (there was only one there as we went at night), Dr. Harry Cozens was very kind and took the time to make sure he understood what had been going on with Hugo by going over his initial vitals. His tone was very empathetic and we felt like we were all on the same page in terms of treatment.Sadly, just two days later our Hugo died suddenly and unexpectedly at Canada West. We had decided to take him there on Friday night for an ultrasound as they had immediate resources and Hugo's condition had not improved. The morning Hugo passed, I received a phone call from Dr. Cozens expressing his sympathies which was a gesture I really appreciated.Though I hope not to have to use Mountainside again for awhile, I am glad to know that there is a 24/7 emergency facility on the North Shore that can be trusted. People complain about the cost of these services, but honestly I thought the pricing was fair considering it's an emergency clinic. Vet services have never been cheap and you are paying for someone to literally stay up all night for your furbabies and give them optimal care. For that, I'm fine paying $150 for an emergency consult!

This is a fantastic animal hospital. I called them up at 10PM a couple months ago because my cats acne was bleeding really bad and it was out of control and I was panicking and my regular vet was closed. They took me as a walk in because it was slow. I ended up waiting in the exam room with my cat for 5 hours but it made sense, my cat was not an emergency and there were 2 emergency cases that came in when I arrived. They prioritize you if something is major and I think that shows their priorities as an animal hospital. Yes I waited a long time but there was a nurse that came in periodically to check if me and my cat were doing ok. He even brought me a blanket at one point because it was so late so I just got to sit on a couch and cuddle my poor baby. There is a coffee machine in the lobby free of charge and it was nice to go out and stretch my legs as I waited. My cats exam was very quick and the doctor that came in told me very clearly what was going on an necessary steps to take to help her get better. Thank you Mountainside for your outstanding communication and medical skills. I will definitely come back and feel like me and my pet are taken care of if something happens after my vet closes.

Hands down the best experience. Dr.Courtney and her team is absolutely amazing. I have a Siberian husky with terrible eating habits. She ate a silicon reusable bag and we took her here and they were so helpful and kind.I’ve taken my dog to two other hospitals + vets for things and hands down one of the most loveliest experiences. The place is so clean and nice. The Dr was so informative and lovely, she really cares and was super personable which is so amazing especially when you’re in stressful situations with your animal.I was hesitant to take my dog here not because it had bad reviews or anything but it’s just scary to take your dog somewhere new. If I ever need to take her to an emergency again, definitely will be here again.And the prices aren’t that bad! One of the most responsible consultation fee and prices for services, (this is coming from someone that has spent ALOT of money on my husky for ER’s)Anyways! HIGHLY recommend

This place continues to be the best at what they do. The care, attentiveness, professionalism shows every time I have to unfortunately visit. Dr. Rachael Lang was by far the best doctor I’ve ever encountered in my years of owning a dog. I felt as if my dog was her own and treated him as such. Thank you to everyone I had the pleasure of dealing with during my visit.

Great experience!! I brought my pup here after he suffered an eye injury. The staff were extremely friendly and professional . Dr. Park was very thorough and the vet tech did an awesome job explaining the various medications that my dog will need. Even the price was very reasonable for an after-hours emergency visit! I would highly recommend them!

Expensive and far, but worth it.The people who work there are very kind and gentle. They talk softly and calm to your pets and treat them like people. Very appreciative, because my pet is terrified of strangers.The environment is very clean and serene, which again is good for people and animals who are nervous and have anxiety.Lucky for me, my pet just had a stomach bug but I had to shell out a week's worth of wages. But I was extremely impressed. They sent me a few resources after my visit for new foods with a written recap of my cats issues for reference. I found this very useful.Also, free coffee.
