Here at Rockwood Veterinary Clinic we want to communicate with pet owners as part of a team with the pets care and well being as our primary goal. Owners need to be able to describe what they see at home, behaviours, and "symptoms" in order to help our veterinarians better understand your pet's needs and medical condition.
As veterinarians we need to listen carefully and use the client's observations and our knowledge to provide the necessary care. Trust is very important in this relationship. We want our clients to be comfortable with the recommendations that we make. Clients need to understand their options for care, diagnostics and treatment, and then make an informed decision on how they wish to proceed.

I see a lot of positive reviews on this animal hospital, but I do not share that opinion at all. I feel like they are all about $ and not about my dogs wellbeing.
The price changes each time I make an appointment - I paid 50 bucks for a check up in Hamilton, this place recently quoted me 70 which is ridiculous.
I took my dog in for his shots last month and pointed out a lump on one of his legs, instead of giving me his ' expert' opinion on what he thought it could be, he sent out a bill with the vet tech to have it removed without addressing what it could be or anything. I decided to get another

I have heard great things about this clinic but I just called to make an appointment and I had a women answer my phone call... I had a question about the clinic, not even about my pets and before I could say anything she said she was not qualified to answer any of my questions and was acting very rude. Then I proceeded to ask if they are taking clients outside of the area because of the pandemic and she just said she wasnt even qualified to answer that and was quick to get rid of me.
I feel that the person at the front desk should be able to answer this simple question. After this poor costumer

I've been dealing with them for years, and they're absolutely amazing. My husband and I have a German Shepherd puppy now who has always been scared of strangers. They are very understanding of her and know the difference between a scardy cat, or an aggressive dog. They are very quick with their appointments but explain everything throughly. I highly recommend them to everyone!

We have always had very good experiences with the staff at Rockwood Vet clinic. Many pets, over many years and I would not want to trust my furry family members with anyone else. I have never felt that I was entering a business, but a friendly atmosphere where they treat your family members as if they were theirs.
