Downsview Veterinary Hospital

Downsview Animal Hospital consists of a bunch a goofs. Been going here for several years and service has just been getting worse and worse. Staff is cold, unhelpful, zero communication and extremely dismissive. If you dare ask a question they act as if it such a bother. Dr. Ron is extremely unprofessional, does not provide recommendations and is very one track minded. If your pet is sick let’s just euthanize it. D.A.H is not old-pet friendly, they prefer to just end the animal’s life instead of improving quality of life. Being over 10 yrs. does not mean your pets life is over, so SHAME ON YOU Dr. Ron for making what should be the last option your first option. If you love your pet STAY AWAY FROM DOWNSVIEW ANIMAL HOSPITAL . Just because your a busy clinic does not mean people are gonna stick around for your garbage.

Horrible service and the secretary very rude woman and called my dog very aggressive because I didn’t agree what they referred with their dog trainers!!! I wouldn’t recommend this place ????????????

Thanks downsview vet, you took our dog in for a much needed surgery knowing it was a dire situation. You saved her life and I'm grateful for your quick reaction to place her into immediate surgery the day of. Sassy is her name and it's just over a month later and she's back to full life thanks to your team. Pyometra was the case and the amazing team acted promptly to insure the survival of our dog. Much obliged to the downsview vet team.

Dr. Ron is super kind and helpful. Staff is so accommodating and go beyond to make everyone feel comfortable. International paperwork was completed twice and without issue. Thank you to everyone!

If I could give this place negative stars I would. It has taken me a while to write this and make my peace with it but I feel like all clients, and potential clients, of this place should know how unprofessional this clinic is. I took my 9 year old PERFECTLY HEALTHY shihtzu in the fall of 2020 because she was experiencing some stomach upset, along with other symptoms. They checked her inside alone because we weren’t allowed to go in because of covid so we don’t know what happened in there, but when she came out they just gave her pills for her diarrhea. We went home and gave her the pills as we were told. Fast forward two days later she started having a runny nose and was extremely thirsty and would urine extremely large amounts (which now we know are indicators of diabetes). We took her back and they didn’t take her in because she tried to bite them (according to the vet techs). They spoke to us outside and gave us allergy pills because according to them “it’s probably just allergies”. Fast forward again to a couple days later and my dog was in very bad conditions which led us to take her to the animal hospital. We then found out she was anemic, diabetic, and extremely sick. Unfortunately we had to put her down that same day. I am sharing my story now to make other owners aware and know that although we were in the beginning of Covid and we’re not allowed inside due to the circumstance, we still did not get the care or attention we deserved. I advise anyone who is thinking of going here to choose another vet. We could’ve gotten better care and my perfectly healthy 9 year old shihtzu would still be with us today. I hope whoever still goes here is given better care and attention than we were.

Thank you Dr. Ron and team! I’ve been bringing my rescue dog Luna here for a few years now and they have been patient and kind to my timid dog. Recently we got a 8 week old puppy, and the team has been very helpful in walking us through the steps and answering our questions. Wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Dr. Ron is a special guy. He took the time to speak with me on the phone after my cats appointment. He's smart and genuine. The other staff I've dealt with are very nice, thorough and helpful. I called yesterday regarding a neighbourhood stray cat who looked worse for wear and the receptionist said if I can get the cat into a carrier and bring him in before 6, they would stick around and help him out and also look up his microchip if he has one. They're always busy but willing to go the extra mile to help out an animal and it's owner. Grateful to have them in the neighbourhood!

My puppy doesn’t like going to the vet but the staff and doctors here are so welcoming and great with all the animals. They recommended this brand of food for my puppy and he absolutely loves it. They also took great care of him and for check ups they look for everything and do not overcharge. I recommend if you’re in the area and need a vet to visit here!!
