Five days after adopting my rescue Koda I discovered that sometime in first 2 plus years of his…read morelife, he was seriously neglected, to the point of him destroying my house the first time I left him alone. Enter Victoria Blondin. Within 2 sessions she provided a plan by which we were going to address his Separation Anxiety. For the last four months Koda and I have met with Victoria over Zoom. Victoria provided a number of exercises for me to do with Koda and after a very short period of time, Koda's fear of being alone began to fade. One of the techniques used by Victoria is to teach YOU the leader how to deal with your dog. Once Koda realized that I was always coming back to him, his abilty to relax when I was away from him began to dissipate. The techniques and actions used to retrain him were outlined by Victoria during our sessions. By following Victoria's plan Koda has become a much more happy and pleasurable companion. There is nobody else I would trust to help and train my dog othder than Victoria Blodin and her Shaggydog Pet Servic

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.

If you leave your dog with them, write down every detail of how you want it groomed.

In current vernacular it would be termed a cluster f * * *.

I can't say enough good things about Gardiners Road Animal Hospital. My family's beloved senior cat…read moredeclined very quickly to the point we thought she may be palliative. She was a brand-new patient and needed quick action. The wonderful team and Dr. Farooq accommodated her in a timely fashion, made her feel comfortable and gave her a rigorous physical examination. She was able to have an x-ray immediately, which detected that her digestive system had stopped working. After more review by a radiologist and testing, Dr. Farooq had a hunch that it may be a reversible condition despite not showing the full suite of symptoms. He was right. An additional test proved it and she improved immediately after great treatment and monitoring. He also caught a treatable painful spinal condition that we assumed was just aging. She will be more comfortable during her remaining years. My family feels fortunate we went to GRAH because the outcome could have been very different without the diagnosis. In addition to great care and diagnostics, Dr. Farooq thoroughly explained the costs and took care to limit any unnecessary costly procedures. Thank you GRAH team!

Having asked for a specific length of cut to cover up my dog´s numerous skin lesions, she ignored my request and gave him her default summer cut. He seems sad after the time spent with her and looks pathetic with all his warts showing. Plus the cut itself is ugly. If I wanted my dog to look like this, I could have done it myself. I'm giving two stars instead of just one because she provided some useful information about one of his lesions. I will not be using this service again.
