Stittsville Kanata Veterinary Hospital

Jay has been very responsive and coordinated client of ours for years. He is always timely and I am sure he is with his customers. We are happy and satisfied to be his Accountant. Your good deeds will surely be rewarded. More power to him and his team!

Outstanding service....could not find an emergency clinic that would take our 4 1/2 month old Saint Bernard...they took us in and they were amazing....check her...test were done and gave meds...I am very grateful and verified with us next day how she is doing ...thanks again to the team

Absolutely fantastic service. They took my cat in as an emergency because all the vets near me were closed or full. They treated my cat with tenderness and compassion. They were fast to respond to my concerns and extremely professional. I would recommend them to anyone that needs a vet. Mabelle and I are extremely grateful for all of you. Thank you again so so much.

My partner and I had a really terrible experience at the SKVH just this morning. Our two dogs got into a porcupine and had quills in their mouth that we could not remove without help. Being a Sunday morning, our local vet was not an option and we called around the Ottawa area to find an emergency clinic that could help. None of the 24/7 hospitals could take us as they were already backed up, but we were told to wait until 8am and try SKVH, which we did. I must have been one of their first calls of the day as they told us they could get us in at 930am, so we left immediately as we live over an hour away. Upon our arrival we were put in a treatment room where there were someone else's vet records on the shelf and what appeared to be used needles. This was our first red flag. The next red flag was all of the signage around the room about why they take deposits prior to treatment and why they don't accept certain forms of payment, as well as how fair their rates are and how ethical they are. We waited for the vet to arrive to check our dogs. He spent approximately 5-10minutes in the room, where he told us that they had cleared the remainder of the day for both surgeries. He then checked both dogs heart rates and went to make us an estimate for the removals. We felt slightly uncomfortable because he had just told us they had cleared the day, but patients continued to come in and be taken into exam rooms across the hall. It felt like they were trying to get as much business in before us as possible. They quoted us a total of $4100 between the two dogs. $1999 for one and $2100 for the other. Why one was $100 more than the other seemed odd, as you can see in their records they are very similar in weight, only 1kg difference between the two. They also had quills in the same area of the mouth. We were baffled at the estimates and felt that we were getting robbed because of our desperate situation. We considered our options and decided to ask for pain medication for both dogs only and leave it at that. We would remove as many quills as we could ourselves and take them in to our local vet first thing Monday morning. Upon checking out, we were met with a $600 bill. They charged us $75 for a weeks worth of meloxicam for each dog and $195 for each consultation" which was 5-10minutes of the vet's time. In summary

We had to find an emergency vet on a sunday for an infection after surgery. This visit was worth the drive. Staff was absolutely lovely, courteous, calm and professional. Yes, emergency care is expensive but that comes with having a pet.

We had an emergency for our chihuahua on a Sunday and they they took us in right away. They provided great service and they showed lots of compassion, which is becoming rare these days. I fully recommend them!

SKVH has helped me out in two different health emergencies with my cats. Their staff are compassionate and work very quickly to help. Their veterinary team has been excellent in helping our pets deal with health difficulties. This is a fantastic vet!

By far the best service and greatest staff I have ever received and experienced at any veterinary clinic or hospital. Simply amazing wow! My dog had an ear infection and hotspots due to allergies which have gotten really bad in the last few days. My vet couldn’t see him; didn’t have room until one month. I called 17 clinics to try and get an emergency appointment with no success, either full, don’t accept new patients, don’t accept emergency appointment. I called this clinic at 9:00AM and was able to secure an appointment the same day at 1:20PM. I was able to get the proper care and medicine/treatment my dog needed. The vet and the staff were so nice and friendly but also took their time with my dog and with me; I did not feel rushed for the next client like most clinics. They even send you a text to check on your pet afterwards. Which veterinary clinic does that? none! This is the first one and only one that I know. I’m simply amazed and so happy to have discovered this new clinic.

We are very pleased with SKVH. We have been using them for almost a year for two senior dogs. There are many pros, but some specific positives: 1) you can do your appointment requests through text and email. Fill out your intake form online and you’re good to go (note that the prices are clearly there, so not sure why ppl complain about the premium for a weekend emergency vet visit). 2) you can get your dog’s X-rays, blood work, etc all through text and email. Again SUPER efficient. As we travel with our dogs often, it is so nice to have these records on hand as needed. 3) the vet is very kind to our dogs. In fact, the entire team is very kind. They remember you and your dog. It’s a nice touch. 4) They’re thorough and genuinely seem to care about our dogs. They will even tell us when certain costs are not required, saving us money.I will say the vet is not cheap, but I am not price-comparing when looking for a Dr for my beloved fur family members. Dogs unfortunately aren’t cheap, but worth it. It may be a bit more expensive than other vet offices, but their attention to detail and the breadth of their analyses and treatment plans more than justifies it for us. I strongly suggest SKVH.

I called to get a bag of cat food and the receptionist told me it was illegal" to sell royal canin cat food without a prescription. After calling around I found out that is not the case. It seems like the owner just does not want to deal with non customers which is fine aside from choosing to claim it's illegal. I've been buying this food for years without a prescription. Turns out you can literally order it online through myvetstore.Update: The "manager" never called. I never asked for kidney or liver food. Just the standard adult cat food with the S/O index. Attached is a picture of the food I ordered from myvetstore
