Well, I was irate after this mornings visit for regular, annual bloodwork required for my 18 year…read moreold cats diabetic condition, as well as his rabies vaccination. The vet seemed confused as to why I was there. After doing a 'check up' on Lokicat, he asked if I wanted bloodwork done (I was thinking 'How can he not know that's what I'm here for'?). Yes, I need his bloodwork done as I'd received a call from the clinic saying that he required bloodwork prior to the clinic dispensing any more insulin. At the same time, they informed me that Lokicat was due for his rabies vaccine... 'great, lets do that at the same time'. I almost fell on the floor when I received the invoice for $347.83. Upon arriving home, I called the Thousand Islands Animal Hospital in Alexandria Bay, NY (equidistant from my location to Gananoque), and requested a quote for 'complete bloodwork, annual checkup, and rabies vaccination'.I was quoted $165 USD (about $220CDN with 33% exchange rate, or $127.83 less than my visit to Gananoque). I wrote the letter (see below), and returned to the clinic, hand delivered it to Dr. M. Brown, who essentially said 'sorry for the misunderstanding' (at my expense). How anybody can afford to pay 58% higher fees for an inferior service is baffling to me. I called Lokicats former vet in Alexandria Bay - she graciously offered to review Lokis bloodwork from Gan, and to give Loki his annual checkup at the same time my second cat is due for his checkup. I wrote the letter (attached), spoke to the vet, and posted this review because I believe that down the road this clinic will be asking 'Why is our business not growing?'. Poor service, extremely high pricing, and confusion over the reason for appointments is why. That said, the front office staff are always pleasant and very helpful. (While I was waiting to see Dr. Brown, I texted a few friends about the situation. Their response was universal: 'Thats why we take our dog/cat to Kingston/Alex Bay/Brockville'). Wish I had known that prior to subjecting Lokicat to undue stress).

Over the years, Dr. Bender has saved my dog on multiple occasions and helped make sure he had the best life possible! Until recently, Dr. Bender has been the sole veterinarian there and works 6 days a week without a break. She is dedicated to what she does and does it well. My dog and I recently meant her new partner Dr. Kelsey and she is great as well! The entire time I have taken my dog there, Dr. Bender, Dr. Kelsey, and their AMAZING vet tech/support staff (shout out to Ashley, Lora, Hannah, Julie, Amber & Chelsea) have answered all my questions (trust me, there were many) and concerns and made sure my dog was seen whenever he needed to. I know he was not their only patient and it had to have been difficult to squeeze him in, but they never made me feel like I was wasting their time. And on one of the worst days of my life, when I had to say goodbye to my beloved pup, they went above and beyond and made sure it was a peaceful, comforting experience. I highly recommend this place!

Returned months later with a very ill dog and was advised it would take $2,000 to conduct tests. They were nice enough to sell me $350 worth of ineffective medication.

It informed me that my pet's health is their primary concern and concluded by saying something to the effect of "have a nice day and we look forward to seeing you and your pet soon".

Dr. Edwards went above and beyond, consulting specialists, calling labs, and doing research to figure out what was wrong with our cat. We never received a bill for all this effort. She clearly laid out which tests were most urgent, which could wait, and recommended the most cost-effective tests to try to rule out possible diagnoses before moving on to the more expensive tests. When we finally received a diagnosis, she spent a lot of time working with a specialist in Toronto to come up with a treatment plan and researching special foods (kangaroo meat). Always available by email and phone, the team was quick to answer our questions, checked in with us frequently, and taught us to administer medications at home, even though it took a few visits for us to master the techniques. Now that we have left Kingston, we are struggling to find a new vet as competent and compassionate as Dr. Edwards. The team at Barriefield sets a very high bar.
