They took/take great care of my kitties and never tried to upsale or offer anything services or products that weren't necessary. Very caring towards my pets and affordable prices which is what you want in a vet ❤

Our puppy was diagnosed with Parvovirus over the weekend - Walden Clinic and specifically Dr. Yu was on call. They were able to make an appropriate diagnosis and come up with a treatment plan for our little one. They were also very reassuring and understood the misconception of parvovirus in older pups (compared to her initial veterinary clinic who… seemed to believe Parvovirus isn't in Sudbury and that when a puppy contracts it, it's a poor prognosis with longstanding issues).
She has improved with their expertise and management plan. We couldn't be happier with the service and most importantly

The team at Walden is incredible, they have truly gone above and beyond for my dogs. Simple or complex, they are there with the best care, advice and reassurance, and I'm so grateful for their service. Dr. Lariviere and Dr. Gander have saved the day many times over, and have always gone out of their way to explain and educate and to make sure I… have all the knowledge to make the right decisions for my dogs. Dr. Michel and Dr. Yu have been there to provide compassionate care, always taking time to make sure my dogs feel safe and comfortable, especially through covid protocols. And of course

Dr Cara Yu and team have taken great care of our two dogs. We are so thankful for the routine care, but are so appreciative when they have been able to see use on short notice to address immediate health concerns. It’s a busy and strange time (with Covid) but we know our boys are in good care when we haven’t been able to attend appointments with them. We appreciate the great care and follow-up calls/messages afterwards. Thanks Walden Animal Hospital!

Such a great experience with Walden, I’m very happy that I continued to try getting on as new client with them, it was well worth the wait :) so nice to have a vet talk to you instead of talking down to you. In the end we all want the same thing which is a healthy pet!

I would like to thank the staff of Walden Animal Hospital for their terrific, friendly and very professional service. Their corona virus protocol is fantastic and I felt very safe going there with my golden retriever. It cannot be easy to run such a business during this stressful time. As well, the vet took the time to explain my dog's situation in a very patient and kind manner. Thank you all so much!

They have been great to us! They treat your pet as they would their own. Our golden retriever could not be more excited to visit her vet family each and every time.

The staff are wonderful. They care so much for your fur baby. They are amazing. Emergency visit with our French bulldog was extremely professional. Especially during these times. Our fur baby was sick and was diagnosed with inflammation on the left side of his neck. He had not eaten, or drank in two days due to pain. Within an hr he was diagnosed. 3 days later he is back to normal. Thank you Dr Jennifer P. You and the staff did a great job.

After our Nova did a number to her paw, Walden animal hospital took her in as an emergency case and give her the help she needed. They are very thorough with explaining what is going on while she is in there since we can’t be and we are super happy with the service we received. 💛

My dog Luke (on the right in the photo)had an injury while we were renting a cottage in Killarney on labor Day weekend. Luckily the clinic was open on the holiday Monday and they were able to take Luke in and then give him great treatment. An x-ray and some painkillers later, Luke was on the road to recovery. Thank you very much for helping Luke!
