They’re amazing! My dog had a leg infection and when we called they didn’t have any available spots but, they allowed us to drop him off and when they had a chance, they would check his leg for us. It only took a few hours and he was back home with the antibiotics he needed! They’re very responsive and check in a few days after to make sure your animal is doing well. We have been taking him here since he we got him and they have never disappointed us! We would recommend them to anyone in the area!!

The staff and doctors there are always kind, patient and nurturing. I trust them when my dogs are in their care. My dog was very sick when we got him and thanks to the ovc he is a healthy 2 year old pup with no complications. Thank you!

We are extremely happy with the care our pup has received at OVC Animal Hospital. Everyone we have come in contact with there is knowledgeable, friendly and caring. We are very confident that Meisha will be well taken care of there.

This time was about our cat Oppi. He got blocked his urine system. OVC helped as an emergency and they helped a lot! The all cure was between OVC and St Francis Animal Clinic in Kitchener.
Oppi is alive! Thank you!

A couple of my dogs with relatively complex medical needs have been patients of this clinic and I'm very happy with their work. They're kind and patient with my dogs. They're very knowledgeable and they explain things clearly to me. During the pandemic, we're doing curbside drop-offs and talking over the phone which is working very well and keeping everyone safe.

If I lived in Guelph I'd only ever bring my pets here. They have the best equipment, the best skill set and incredible care. Add to that their prices are the same or better than most vets anywhere else.

Nothing but great things to say about the vet, technicians and students. We have 2 anxious rescues and the staff always has so much patience for them.

I bring my puppy here and hopefully my cat soon, and I absolutely LOVE the staff and all the students that are part of the appointments! We see Dr. Shannon and she is so lovely, but everyone there is great I hear. All the students are extremely knowledgeable and sweet. They will all be amazing vets that I would take my animals to with no hesitation! I love this place. Great prices, people, and state of the art facility with access to all things through the rest of the OVC.

Everyone (I mean literally EVERY person on staff) was incredibly warm, caring, and friendly. You guys are doing a wonderful job! Wait time is never more than a few minutes. Technician gathers all the information regarding the appointment along with any other concerns to share. They explain the course of action and any associated costs before proceeding. Always very careful with my 4 cats.
Very pleased that I started coming here!

This is definitely the best Vet in Guelph. You can get your presentations filled right here for your pets, and saves an additional trip to the drug store. All staff are attentive and pet lovers. They have a monthly program for your pets that can reduce overall costs. Prices are reasonable and you are helping veterinary students learn.
