If you're thinking of getting a pet fish, you should know that your veterinarian has a lot of good advice about pet ownership. Fish can be very rewarding as pets, and you just may be surprised about how much fish actually interact with their owners. Thanks to advancements in veterinary care, today's cats can live well into their teen years.
Veterinary care is crucial and effective for a wide variety of conditions. The following is a partial list of some of the most common. If you do not see your pet's specific condition listed, we encourage you to give us a call so we can personally address your particular concerns.

Dr. D is great, but unless you talk to him the customer service is terrible. As our regular vet I expected more when calling for advise about our sick dog. Instead of anything helpful I was just told I either needed to wait a month or call another clinic. There was zero concern for our dog, the main focus seemed to be getting off the phone.
Calling around has gotten us significantly better results from veterinarians we've never seen before. Looks like this will be my last interaction with this clinic.

We have decided to leave Dr D after 8 years and wouldn’t recommend this vet. His wife who is also the receptionist is absolutely clueless and has no sympathy for your pet. We called them in in a panic and distress after waking up one morning and suddenly finding our dog was unable to use his back legs. Out dog could not walk! Their response was “we’re booked today, you should take him to the animal hospital”! They’ve been taking care of my dog since he was a puppy. Thank god my dog has recovered, unfortunately we still don’t know what caused this incident. Dr. D diagnosed him with a

My dog died last year in the summer, but I still find myself telling people (with or without dogs) about Dr. D'Souza and the team at Ellesmere Animal Clinic. So, I figured I leave this review.
The team at EAC is genuinely caring. Their love for animals provided me with comfort and security; and so, I was always able to put my trust in them to take care of my dog.
This isn't to discredit any of the other vets I took my dog to, but Dr. D'Souza and the team's dedication and care for animals is unparalleled. You could tell that they work to enhance the lives of animals, rather than to make a profit

Unfortunately my first experience with the clinic was to euthanize my cat. The staff was very professional over the phone and quoted a reasonable price. The day of the procedure they were very nice and gave us a room to spend some time with Max before it started. The doctor was extremely professional and friendly and it was easy to tell how much he loves animals. Overall, under the circumstances, a very good experience.

As a dog walker for 15 years in the area, I’ve had a lot of dealings with vets in the area. I’ve been totally satisfied with how Dr D cares for pets and his knowledge and helpful suggestions are always appreciated.
The only issue I have is the hours and have shown up when the doors are closed before the posted time of 7pm.

Although the staff are friendly I will not return to this clinic. I brought in my dog to get shots updated and when I called I was given a price of $115 for the two particular shots she needed as well as general exam. I confirmed with the receptionist over the phone twice about pricing. Instead I was charged $169 and when I brought it to their attention there was no explanation given other than my dog did not need the rabies shot.

One of the most compassionate vets that I've ever encountered. Had an issue with one of my cats that had been deemed chronic and 'just the way it is' by previous vets. When it became too challenging, I visited Dr. D'Sousa and he was able to do lab tests that discovered the issues and prescribed a treatment that has been close to miraculous. His empathy and love of animals is obvious.

I've been going to this Vet (Dr. D'Souza) for about 10 years+ now. This guy is a great vet and a great human being. However that being said, his tolerance for people being malicious is (understandably) very low. (I am referring to the one libelous reviewer and their facetious tales about the dog).
I currently have two cats and everytime he has seen them, you can tell he actually cares for the animals. His staff is also great and love animals as well. You can tell from the healthy cats that are residents of said clinic.
