Diagnostic and Therapeutic Services: Our hospital is equipped to provide diagnostic and therapeutic services to care for your pets' complete health care needs.

After hours care is provided by the Kawartha Veterinary Emergency Clinic (KVEC). They are open from 6 pm to 8 am on weekdays and 24/7 on weekends and holidays.

Many people have questions about various aspects of their pet's surgery, and we hope this information will help. It also explains the decisions you will need to make before your pet's upcoming surgery. Today's modern anesthetic monitors have made surgery much safer than in the past. At Three Islands Veterinary Services, we meet with owners and pets on the morning of the surgery.
Here are some questions/answers that we are frequently asked. If you have additional questions that aren't covered here, please feel free to give us a call at (705)738-5149. At what age can I have my pet spayed or neutered? What is the best age to spay or neuter my dog? For many years veterinarians have traditionally answered this question as 6-7 months of age, before your pet hits puberty.

If you love your pet, DON'T take them to Three Islands. They have a history of poor animal treatment and overpriced services. DO YOUR RESEARCH. I learned the hard way... It's difficult to find, but the horror stories are in the community, just ask around the old way (word of mouth). ALSO ASK about them being bought out by an AMERICAN CONGLOMERATE. Fenelon also. I wouldn't take a dead rat here to have it revived. I brought my pet in and 3 different "Dr.'s" gave 3 different diagnosis and conflicted each others treatment regimen. Disgusting. Shameful. YOU ALL do not deserve to be in the animal care

I’ve never been to a worse Vet clinic. I brought my cat in because she had extreme diarrhea. I told them that we’d been to an emergency clinic a month or two earlier and they did all the basic tests but couldn’t find anything wrong so I wanted further testing done. They proceeded to make me buy their food($40), then they did the same tests as the other clinics and made an educated “guess” at what was wrong. ($300) and told me to buy another type of their overpriced food ($40) (They also screwed up the appointment. After making our already sick animal not eat or drink for 12 hrs for blood

Great Vet would recommend. 4.5 star
It is more expensive here than other Vet clinics. They have always been wonderful anytime I go with my little guys.

Just money grab vets. Kate is demeaning. Asked to work with other vet's instead as we did in past and they said no. Don't pay for meds if your dog has allergy issues that are mild. Animals won't fight future infections and this office makes it feel last resort. Bathe your dogs and cats!! Once a week. Don't spend 2000 dollars to realize they screwed you. Dog is doing awesome without them reaping my bank account. Hi Kate. Dont miss u. No more vets.

They are wonderfully caring people 💕💖💙 I had to put my dog down yesterday and as difficult as that is. They made it bearable. I've also been taking all of my animals there😊

It was our first time with our kittens. They were so kind and so thorough with the kiitens and their check up. They spent time explaining everything in detail. Also checking before doing anything to them. Everyone we dealt with there was so pleasant. Thank you!

Fantastic care and customer service!
Had to stop in here while visiting from out of town, and had an emergency with my puppy. The service here was fantastic, and the follow-up care even better!
Mila and I both thank you! If I lived in the area, there is nobody else I would trust to care for my canine best friend.

Super friendly staff, that will take the time to explain everything to a new pet owner. Made me feel like I had been going to them for years on my first visit. Also great for laying out all the options before making a decision.

I did not feel that my pet's care was the priority. After using this clinic for several months, I felt they were more concerned with generating income than what was best for my pet. Prices are highest of five area vets that I canvassed. You can do better elsewhere

Recently changed over to this vet and found kind friendly people who practiced covid restrictions to its maximum , surgery was needed , and successfully completed for 1/2 the estimate and only charged half , who does that ? We have now had four visits and love this place.
