Amazing service! The communication is great and the vets appear to take a vested interest in the dogs. Not all about money and they help you when your animal is in trouble. Great place, my family has been coming here for 25 years or so.

Extremely Kind and caring!
I had to take my beloved cat Jammie into be euthanized. I really did not have a relationship with any particular vet. My niece helped find Southwood Veterinary Hospital. They got us in with 1 days notice and allowed me to bring my other cat so he could be with his bestie at the end.
Dr. Harris was gracious and so very very kindđź’™
Saying goodbye to a fur baby is never easy and Dr. Harris and staff went above and beyond to lessen the difficulty as much as they could. I will be forever grateful
I would highly recommend this clinic!

Prices are outrageous. Also, they still don’t allow you to come in with your pet, which is unacceptable. What they don’t seem to understand is that you are paying for a level of service that they are not providing, as they sure haven’t lowered their prices to accommodate the total lack of customer service which is included in all pricing. They act like they are doing you a favour for even allowing your pet to be treated there. It’s like playing that children’s game Telephone trying to get all the correct information to the dr but it rarely does. It is SO frustrating repeating yourself

I took my kitty here today for her second shot. Dr Emily and all other staff they were all so friendly and attentive with my kitty. Very gentle, gave my kitty a new toy and some treats. Overall, very satisfied with the staff here. It’s only walking distance from me. Very blessed.

Came in to get a tooth cleaning and an extraction on our dog. Waited an hour outside the clinic to have the dog taken inside, and then an hour outside waiting for them to give me the dog. You'd think for $1,300 they'd at least be respectful of their client's time instead of setting two appointments and then being an hour late for both.

My cat and I had such a wonderful experience! Everyone who helped us was so kind and genuine, they were very clear and upfront with treatment options, and my cat was so calm afterwards (I wasn't allowed in due to covid, but she seemed completely fine with the whole experience).
They also sent us home with a toy and a couple of treats as a first-time-visit gift, and loads of useful information. I'm super happy with my experience and we'll definitely be sticking with Southwood Veterinary Hospital!

After taking my dog to a different clinic in the city for almost 8 years, they were sold to one of the larger companies, and they lost the personal touch we loved so much.
So a referral brought us here - and even though I haven't gone inside or met them outside of the exchange of my dog outside the door (COVID restrictions) - I was so impressed with the attention to detail & customer service. The vet (Alissa) called before & after the exam, and was extremely thorough, and had great customer service. We are happy to now call Southwood our vet!

We called in to many different vets in and around the city for price estimates regarding a certain procedure, and Southwood was one of the only vets that not only gave us a full explanation of the procedure, but a clear and transparent breakdown of the costs. During our kitty’s appointments, Dr. Emily (as well as vet tech. Courtney) took the time to address everything she noticed and answered every single question we had without rushing. All options were always given to us without pressuring us to choose one over the other, and nothing was done to our kitty without our informed consent. Although

Dr. Emily Saved me $400 and properly diagnosed my Cat. After I was told by a different vet that my cat required blood work, we came to this vet because the price was a bit more budget friendly for blood work. After a proper exam Dr. Emily found my cat did not require a blood test, and treated my cat for what was really going on. Saved us money for not doing services that were not necessary with that, they have our trust and appreciation, this is our go to vet now.

We followed Dr. Emily when moved her practice to Southwood, and our 2 cats and 1 dog are better for it! Dr. Emily, and the whole Southwood team, are so passionate about their patients - the care and love they exude is parallel to none.
We’ve had a few emergencies arise with our animals over the years, and during each of these occasions the Southwood team has walked us through our options, evaluated the cost/benefit analysis of each option, and offered suggestions with respect to each course of action. We have never felt pressured to pick the “right” choice, but in every situation have chosen
