Friendly enough, vet said my cat had gingivitis and need dental cleaning and possible extractions. Also, said my cat showed no drooling even thou i said she did. The vet indicated it was very difficult to have my cat show her mouth. having said that, i do not know how my cat was really assessed given i was not present it the room (covid). By the time i took my cat to another vet, sadly, my cat was assessed with mouth cancer

Wonderful staff! In June, my cat was hurt by another cat and needed care right away. After calling around to 6 other animal hospitals in the Kanata-Stittsville area, the Sttitsville Small Animal Clinic was the only place to fit me in 2 days later. The staff were caring, helpful and professional. They took great care of my cat and the charges were very reasonable - thank you! I will be going back. :)

I am so thankful to the staff at Stittsville Small Animal Clinic. They were able to make room to see my cat who was ill and who has since made a full recovery. They were very thorough and kind and I am so grateful for the care that they provided. They even followed up before the weekend to make sure that we were ok.

I recently got two new barn kittens....and within 5 days, the female died....it was brutal, and with no warning. I was panicked trying to get a visit for my male kitten to make sure he wasn't sick. With covid, everywhere was either not taking new patients or not available until July. Stittsville main made not only an earlier appointment for my boy, they found room for me that very day after hearing what I was going through. They took such good care of Ferdinand and kept me in the loop and explained everything to me - without rushing me! I can't say enough amazing kind words about this wonderful

Dr Gallagher is amazing! Very compassionate, thorough, knowledgeable, and only does what needs to get done. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a vet.

I came to the Stittsville Small Animal Clinic to euthanize my cat, after our regular clinic was unavailable. Calling in over the phone was quick and the receptionist was extremely kind, understanding, and helpful.
When we arrived at our timeslot, we were promptly taken to a room and looked at. The entire process was done peacefully and with care.
At no point did I feel like we were valued any less than any other client, and the passion the employees have for their work is more than apparent. When I left, I wanted to switch clinics before I realized that I had no need for a vet anymore.

We have been clients here for about 10 years now, and my parents before me for the last 20 years or more.
Recently, in the early days of Covid lockdown, our Westie became quite ill, and Dr. Gallagher went above and beyond for us - spending considerable amounts of time on the phone with me discussing her condition, possible options and test results. When I said I couldn't afford much testing, she took it in stride and helped me find a way to do as much as we could, for the least amount of money. Never once did I feel like I was judged for not spending every last dime on my dog.
I am so grateful

The vets here are really great, they were very caring and professional. They also charge less than our last vet (march road). Our cat's health was a tough case and they supported us all the way through, checking up on him and always keeping us informed. He unfortunately passed away recently and they sent us a lovely card signed by the whole team. Definitely recommend.
