Guelph Lake Veterinary Hospital

They charged $470 for a blood work, one shot of antibiotics, 7 pills of antibiotics and 2 cans of dog food. After the first week of treatment, they gave us 2 different kinds of antibiotics. For $70+ dollars. They quoted for $2,000 for a spade surgery, and told me if I do it else where, I would get charged for $4,000. Maybe it’s because I am a new immigrant, they thought it’s easy to rip me off. Through family and friends’ help, we found a more decent vet clinic. My dog got the treatment and surgery with less than $1,000!!!! I think the price difference exist for different clinics. But they obviously lied about the price. I hate to think I was so close to give up my dog because I simply could not afford the surgery! It’s absolutely frustrating when the first vet you visited asked for a ton of money when you are desperate to save your beloved pet. It makes me so angry to think they are taking advantage of that situation. Everything I say here I have support of evidence. I kept all the receipts.

Dr. Scott and the team at Guelph Lake Vet are INCREDIBLE. This has been my family vet for approximately 5 years. They supported my 8 yr old German Shepherd cross rescue through a number of health issues, until his recent passing away due to a rare health condition.Dr. Scott is very informative and carefully considers the details when making a diagnosis. I've always felt as though he prioritized my dog's care and quality of life. Dr. Scott offered multiple options to consider as the most effective treatment, along with the costs associated so that as the client, I could make the best and most informed decision for my dog.I've greatly appreciated the level of detail he considers and how he continues to process and think about a patient/case, even after the appointment is over. I trust Dr. Scott and his judgement. There were times when he advocated and supported my dog's health needs, outside of our appointment time. When there were urgencies during business hours, he always found time to see my dog. When there were food shortages, he made sure to support us in finding alternative solutions. He also was never shy to provide an excellent referral when he felt there would be a better option available (again considering my dog's needs first).From these experiences, I felt he genuinely cared about my dog's health. I never ever felt like my emotions/anxieties regarding my dog's health were taken advantage of and he always took the extra time to fully explain what was taking place and what to expect next, so that I could fully understand my dog's needs.I live over an hour away and still will continue to use him as my vet. His expertise and compassion is totally worth the extra gas and distance.If you are looking for a (new) vet, I highly recommend becoming a client.

Dr. Scott Gardner and his staff are amazing people and you couldn't ask for a better team to take care of your four legged family members. Our dogs and cat have received wonderful, compassionate care and we would never consider going anywhere else.

I have taken both of my cats to Guelph Lake and have only recieved the best service. Dr. Gardiner helped my one cat get rid of her bladder stones in 3 months. X-rays were needed to show the stones and the diet they put my cat on cleared it up in no time at all. They helped work with my budget as we avoided surgery which they could have easy told me to do. Any other staff members I have spoken with were all very nice, helpful and knowledgeable. I would recommend anyone to go to Guelph Lake Veterinary Hospital.

My roommate and I got two kittens a few weeks ago and took them here last week for their first vet visit. The vet was amazing. Answered all of our questions and didn’t rush our visit at all. He was extremely helpful and went above and beyond to make sure the kittens felt comfortable during the time there. Definitely going to be going here for all of their future visits.

Cannot say enough good things about Dr. Scott and his staff! He did very complex surgery on our dog, later helped her leave us in a compassionate way and is now taking great care of our cat who had the misfortune of colliding with a car. He knows his stuff; he truly cares about our pets; he ensures we understand all of our options so we can make an educated decision and a really nice person! I would not consider going anywhere else!

Dr. Gardiner is an outstanding vet. He has treated a number of our cats and he and the other vets provide exceptional service and support. What is particularly gratifying - the entire team places the animal's welfare and health as the primary concern.The veterinary team takes the time to explain carefully and fully every aspect of the treatment or examination. I am delighted to have found a veterinary team that is so caring to ensure the health of our furry companions. We will continue to bring all of our cats to the clinic for the exceptional care.

Offers excellent, high quality, service. The vet is knowledgeable, cares about your pets, and will work with you to come up with the best solution for you and your furry friend. I've called them many a time with issues or emailed them as well as going in for appointments. Good prices.

Scott has saved me hundreds of dollars numerous times, by sending me home with home remedies and free email checkups to make sure they worked. This place is amazing. Scott and his staff really truly care about your dog, cat, pet in general. He has been our family vet for our three dogs, and two cats for almost 4 years now. Couldn't ask for a better experience.

Read the consistent reviews. One star reviews are from people who can never be pleased.Dr Gardener & Staff are kind, patient and very knowledgeable. Have been dealing with GLVH since they opened, I have never had a bad experience.They are responsive to questions and genuinely care about animals. Thank you Scott & Carolina for doing a great job in our community.
