They have a lot of comfy sweaters though. Sadly not a lot of Halloween costumes. They do have a nice selection of brand named discounted pet food and some other pet products. The Cafe part of the store has a few delicious treats and my friend told me that his coffee was average and tasty enough. I loved my Cheese Onion bun! It was so cheesy and delicious! The area where the cats hangout is kind of pitiful though. It's basically a large bedroom with two bunk beds and cat toys. The kitty litter area has an upper level and a ramp. I honestly feel bad for the cats in there. I know they are comfortable and behave in a lazy manner but it might be because there is no room to run around in and exercise. But I do love that all the profits from this building store goes to support a pet charity that does their best to get the pets adopted to good homes.

I was actually surprised that many reviews echoed my recent experience at the clinic. My dog was bit by another dog so we brought him in to get checked out. I was worried about an infection and asked that he get meds and cleaned up. Dr. Zheng was adamant that our dog be put under and have surgery to remove the puss. We were quoted about $900 for a mild bite on his head. I said I wasn't comfortable doing that for a bite that wasn't that bad and that I wanted antibiotics and the wound cleaned up so I could monitor him. The assistant then came in with a quote that he wanted us to sign and it included an additional $400 charge to clean our dog's teeth because they were 'infected, swollen and sore'. We've never had issues and every 14 year old dog has stinky breath! The worst part was the staff was pretty rude and just looked annoyed that they had to help people. They rolled their eyes at me when I said I wasn't going to put my dog under and that I needed a receipt for the $90 exam fee. We took our dog home and every few hours squeezed puss out of his wound and cleaned it with rubbing alcohol. After a few days, the swelling went way down and he was back to himself. I am disgusted that putting a dog under is what's been (and being as per other reviews) recommended when all I needed was some cleaning. To suggest the only way to clean a wound was to cut open my dog's head is beyond unacceptable. Needless to say, after more than 10 years of coming here, we will be taking our dogs elsewhere.

Do not bring your pets here if you want them to live!…read more It was my first dog that I adopted and she was already at age 12+, I've never been to a vet before and one day she vomit and couldn't walk and her eyes were moving from left to right nonstop it looked very scary but she was still happy, eating and smiling. I was worried and called her previous owner to find out where they used to take her. Unfortunately, Machray animal hospital was full house that day and also could not locate her file. So I went to Animal Hospital of Manitoba and it was Dr. Zheng that help us. He took a look at my dog ran some expensive test and even an x-ray and racked up the bill of $550 and told me that my dog had cancer b/c she has these lumps on her body and then told me that my dog may never walk again! He even said there could be a brain tumor that causes her to lose her mobility. He took a sample of the lump to test them but he would have to send it to the lab the next day and find out. He suggested to do brain surgery for my dog and she will be in the hospital for 1 full week and it will cost me another $1500 but he cannot guarantee that she will be walking again then he suggested to put my dog down immediately and gave me the speech of how it's all about the quality of life. It was took much for me to make that decision myself so I waited for my sister and my dog's previous owner to come take a look of her. Her previous owner suggested to have a second opinion which I had no idea that we can do that. After making the entire family crying all night thinking my dog has cancer, the next day we took her to Machray Animal Hospital and they found her file and this time, Dr. Macdonell only gave her a physical exam $90 and she was able to tell me that my dog only has geriatric vestibular disease which comes and goes in dogs. She said she will slap out of it within a few days and go back to almost normal. Within 3 days, my dog started walking again and no more weird eye movement, she was left with a small head tilt from this incident. I did however get those lumps tested and Dr. Macdonell got back to me that those lumps were just fatty lumps and not cancer. I was so upset with Dr. Zheng and remembered that he also took a sample of those lumps? I even paid $90 for that and after I've asked for a second opinion, he never got those lumps tested nor gotten back to me. So I have filed this incident to Veterinarian Association of Manitoba, all I had to do was email the person that was in charge of these cases and also forward her my receipts. She even told me that as long as you saved your receipts and got second opinion, and if the vet was wrong, you can get some of your money back. So I have gotten $360 back from Animal Hospital of Manitoba. I've also spoke with many other people online and they too experienced the same thing but unfortunately they listened to Dr. Zheng and put their dogs down :( I've also found out that when the animal services (city's pound) get sick dogs in or ones that are too aggressive to be adopted out and they have to be put down, they send them to him(Dr. Zheng)!!!! Doesn't that make sense now? He enjoys killing animals and getting rich of it. His clinic is quite fancy and there was this hidden room that I saw with a huge plasma tv on the wall and leather suede couch for him to enjoy and this was back in 2007 by the way, my dog lived for another 2 years at age 15.
