We've been taking our dogs here for years. I really appreciate the attention they give to Morgan,…read more they are all so lovely with her. They listen to me and give me honest opinions. I drive two hours to take my dog to them because I trust them. I went to another clinic in the city and that vet had recommended unnecessary surgery to remove a fat lump off my dog that was right by her tail. My vet said if we went through with the surgery the site would have a hard time healing because of the location and it wasn't necessary as it wasn't causing her pain. I trust them and the advice they give.

Ever since The new owner of Clinton Veterinary the services have been going downhill they don't…read moretreat their patients the same. The last owner was so amazing and I travelled halfway across Canada come see her but now that she doesn't own it anymore the services are so bad there's new staff they are so rude and obnoxious. They make you feel like you are below them. I would totally recommend you not going to this veterinarian clinic in Clinton. When they treated my dog, I asked certain questions they were very stuck up like you don't know was the look in their face and All I want the vet was to do was explain things more clearly. And come to find out they also had the wrong medical chart up it wasn't even my dog good thing I did ask questions or she could've been treated for something that didn't even pertain to her. They should be on top of that , you would think that's important. They are not compassionate and they really don't care so why take your animals there I will not be. And the medication that they gave my dog cost $300 and it didn't clear up her infection, not even one little bit. The old staff was so much better it's a sin they are gone now. Especially the front staff was the rudest she tried to misconstrue everything that I try to say and when I ask questions she didn't want to answer them obviously you're not supposed ask questions I guess. They get very defensive and very fast. Almost to the point that she was calling me stupid in around about way. Please I beg you don't take your pets to this clinic I don't want anyone else to go through what I did this morning. Also I want to mention that when I first went into the clinic last week the vet was telling me that My dog had been in here for her teeth before not once has my dog been in there for teeth so I'm wondering when and I'm asking questions and come to find out she had the wrong dogs files. who's dog I don't know but none that didn't belong to me. Wrong charts for the wrong dog could've went severely wrong I am glad I stepped up and started asking questions. You would think they'd be on top of this.

Well I saw the parents and yes he's big. I picked a male and the largest of the litter. I paid extra to have pain medication for him on the way home and then when I called to see when he should have pain medication again I was told he wasn't given any. His chip says Husky cross which is fine and if that's how people see him however once again he is a Pomsky. I was asked if I would like his nails done free of charge while he was under and I agreed. Only to find that wasn't done neither. He's recovered fine however this left a really bad experience that isn't inexpensive and I expected a more professional staff especially because my experience in Port Elgin has always been exceptional.

I had had my pug at Romeo previously, and the vet there was horrendous. She had me convinced that if I didn't do a $5000 surgery for my 2 year old pug pup, he would die in agony. They had the appointment booked before I even left the consultation room. Sandra was the only vet that would see him for a second opinion without charging me, and was horrified by the treatment we received. Sandra was able to diagnose and treat my pup at a fraction of the price, and took the time to explain to me exactly what was wrong, and how we were fixing it. My pug lived another 6 years under Sandra's care, and at the end of his life, she was supportive and caring. We have brought every pet since to Sandra and will going forward.

A very nice but fearful dog now impossible to do this procedure with at home which they take zero responsibility for, choosing verbal abuse instead. Refusing to disclose drugs potentially they would inject him with, repeatedly ramming home the point of a pre exam to the point of harassment. Unethical and against veterinary protocol. 500 dollars to do his nails and that not even the point. They manipulate people out of being able to speak to the vet unaware of how long term loyal clients (20 years) are being treated and think they can discard the customers to hide their behavior and the real issues after pushing buttons. These particular clinics are turning into cults. People are choosing to euthanize beloved pets and some have no choice as there are so few places and terrible prices. Insurance will not cover preexisting conditions or prices beyond what many can afford but it's the agenda to be sure for those whose priority are not animals or people who love them. More than that clients are not regarded as anything but disposable by those who in their arrogance should be fired as they treat people terribly and make sure they're not caught. Exactly how cults operate. Zero accountability. They block customers who dare speak up. Despicable.

We contacted Forest Veterinary Clinic and although one of the hardest days for our family this clinic was so welcoming, understanding, caring and compassionate. This vet spent time with us, explaining everything in detail. They never made us feel rushed. They They made the experience very peaceful and Max was surrounded by his loved ones. The room was so relaxing with dim lights, a big soft comfy bed for Max and comfortable chairs for the family. It felt like being at home, Max wasn't scared and that was such a comforting feeling. It was also very clean. One of the kindest vets I've met. The staff was amazing. Her prices were the going rate as I had already priced this procedure out through our vet back home. Actually, they even offered as many paw and nose prints for FREE as we wanted. We don't get anything for free in the GTA area. This clinic deserves 10 stars. I recommend this clinic and vet. Wish we lived closer .

The one on her belly had grown and I was hoping to book her in for surgery to have it removed. The vet took her into a room, does an exam on her and tells me this is a very unhealthy dog...he wanted to do x-rays. After that was done, he brings me into a room to show me the pictures...he tells me her heart and liver are very inflammed. He recommended I have needle biopsies done to see what the lumps are...he suspects Cancer...couldn't tell me enough that my dog was very sick. I left her with him to get the biopsies done. After spending $800.00 on biopsies, he calls me to come get her and tells me the results were inconclusive. I brought her home and she was so out of it, she couldn't lift her head. I thought she was going to die..I rushed her to an emergency vet who hooked her up to IV right away..she was EXTREMELY dehydrated. I told him about her X-ray...he said her heart sounds fine...it's not something he would have considered even looking at..he was confused as to why the needle biopsies were even done...especially on her mammary glands considering she had just finished her heat cycle. I took her back to her regular vet...I had moved and it was a bit of a drive...but at this point I was confused. Turns out they were pretty confused too. Her heart and liver were HEALTHY!! She had her tummy lump removed...it biopsied clear of Cancer. This office took me for a few thousand dollars and HURT MY DOG!!

She answered all of the questions that we had, while she answered them in truth, she was so compassionate. She didn't treat us like "a job", we could truly see how much she cared. We thought we had enough medicine, and they were closing before we could get there to pick it up, and they actually let us pay over the phone and left it outside in a special hidden place for us to pick up. I called the next day, and asked the receptionist a few questions, and she relayed them to Dr. Young. The receptionist called us back within minutes and ask us to send Dr Young pictures of what we were noticing on Charming. I think she understood that taking him to see her again would have actually caused more strain on him. While we no longer have charming, she said something that stuck with us, "it's okay to say goodbye, even on a good day". We have two more fur-babies, and I plan on taking them to see her annually.

My dog is already diagnosed with hypothyroidism and has been stable on daily Levothyroxine. I specifically requested a routine post-pill Total T4 test when scheduling the appointment a week in advance, and I reiterated this when checking in. ​From the start, the office was completely disorganized. The staff claimed they never received my dog's medical records, even though I called my previous clinics from the exam room and confirmed they had forwarded them days prior. I waited over an hour in the room with zero services completed. During that time, roughly five different technicians rotated through trying to take my dog back or presenting contradictory care plans. The first plan omitted the thyroid test entirely. While waiting, I could clearly hear Dr. M. S. Zaffer yelling at his staff in the back area. ​When Dr. Zaffer addressed the thyroid test, he insisted that a Free T4 was mandatory and claimed a Total T4 was inadequate for dosage monitoring, despite our previous veterinarians routinely managing my dog's care with annual Total T4 tests without issue. He became noticeably argumentative and condescending, sarcastically calling me "Doc" and asking how many hypothyroidism cases I had personally dealt with. He then brought me into the back treatment area to push the test on me again, stating he had never experienced this kind of resistance before, and began raising his voice when I held firm. ​While he eventually conceded and said he would run the Total T4, he returned to the room minutes later holding an old diagnostic record from two years prior, questioning why my dog had a Free T4 run at diagnosis. When I clarified that Free T4 was used during the initial diagnostic phase, Dr. Zaffer abruptly stated it was "best for me to leave," effectively refusing routine care, vaccinations, and basic wellness services because I advocated for standard monitoring lab work. ​Berating staff, losing control of one's temper, attempting to intimidate clients, and abandoning patient care simply because a client's informed request to continue established care bruised his ego is unacceptable. I strongly advise pet owners to seek care elsewhere.
