Great Vet. Very friendly staff. They do care for the animals and also follow up to see how you pet is doing. I would recommend. Thank you for the compassionate care and assistance over the years up until his last days. Thank you Dr. Emily and all.

I would highly recommend McLeod Veterinary Hospital. After ongoing bad experiences with my previous vet of many years after the original owner retired, and a horrible experience this summer when I had to put down one of my dogs who was 11, which in itself was such a heart wrenching day, I could not go back to my previous vet any longer. After some research I decided to try McLeod. I sent an email and received a reply immediately from Angie who was compassionate, caring, professional and very caring. I booked my appointment for my other dog Tucker for his annual visit and met with Dr. Capper. She was amazing, spent allot of time with me discussing Tucker's care and she too was compassionate to my previous situation with loosing my other dog Haley this summer. All of the staff with Tucker's first visit were amazing. And despite our current pandemic and all of the restrictions in place in terms of social distancing, they still delivered compassionate and professional care. This is absolutely my new vet for my current rescue as well as all of my future rescues I plan to adopt! I know Tucker is really missing his BFF Haley who we lost this summer and is waiting for a new friend. If you're looking for an amazing vet, McLeod Veterinary Hospital should absolutely be your choice!

My dog became sick and passed away early this year, but I still hold this vet clinic responsible for his death. I had sent this message to upper management with the hope that my words would be passed along to the assistant manager and the doctor who was taking care of my dog. As time has passed, I hope that they have been able to adjust or recognize/acknowledge their actions, but I feel it is still my responsibility to share my honest review of this clinic with the public. The assistant manager was off work and had responded to my email from home about my dog passing away. However, she addressed me by the wrong name, not once but twice. I ignored it the first time, but after the second time, I could not. It was completely, utterly insensitive. If workers are off duty, they should not be replying to emails, especially if they don’t have clients’ files on hand. I felt that this was very poor judgment of her to do this. It also sets a sort of precedent for other staff members to feel obligated to reply to emails when they’re off work. This should not ever be the case. The assistant manager had made a grave error; in time, I will forgive her, but I hope she was taken to task for this. The assistant manager tarnished my view of McLeod’s hospital management and competency. My hope is that she learned from her mistake and never does this again. Secondly, I was very disappointed and angry with the service received from the doctor in charge of my dog. I think her bedside manner needs some work, as she was always quite short with me and I had to ask numerous questions to understand some of her technical jargon. While I understand this job field primarily works with animals, working with and communicating with people should be a high priority as well. I had explicitly told the doctor that my dog was experiencing extreme lethargy, constant urination, breathing issues, and weakened hind legs. I was also never given a straight answer about what was truly wrong with him other than low blood platelet count. The doctor said all of his symptoms were because of the prednisone steroid he was given. While this may have been true, I did not appreciate how quickly she dismissed my concerns. Not to mention, I should have been told that a prolonged use of the prednisone steroid put my dog at risk for urinary tract and bladder infections; I had to learn this from the Bridgwater Vet. I trusted this doctor in providing the best care for my dog. I don’t believe she did and I am still angry with her. I truly believe his condition would not have escalated that far, had she done a better job. She should have paid attention to his increase of symptoms, stopped the prednisone in a more timely manner, and do a more thorough job of looking at his blood work. I primarily hold this doctor responsible for the death of my dog. Third and last, I did want to recognize the front of house staff and one of the better doctors (Dr.Capper) for their services in my two years of using this clinic. From them, I felt cared for and wish them all the best. I will not be bringing any future pets to this clinic as my experience with them, in the end, was completely unsatisfactory.

I won't go to another vet clinic, Dr Bob Newfield did both FHO surgeries on my cat Theodore and he recovered and healed so well you can't even tell. Dr Bowles has always been kind, compassionate and understanding. I'm very thankful for her and her expertise. Also the front desk staff is phenomenal, always kind and polite to deal with. Thank you for all the wonderful experiences and the kindness through the tough ones.

Dr. Crump did my baby girl's spay. I was so happy with the surgery. Although she came home with bowel issues after the surgery, not sure if its related to the surgery but my Marley has a sensitive bowel, even the slightest interruption would cause an irritation. The staff and Dr. Crump seen Marley the last minute due to some bowel issues. They accommodated, reassured and looked after my Marley. They take their time to look after your pet and make sure to keep you updated. Dr. Crump even phoned me a few times to make sure she was okay. I am so happy that I switched to Mcleod Vet Hospital. Had a rough couple of days but Marley is on the road to recovery. Thank you Dr. Crump and all the lovely staff of Mcleod Vet Hospital!

I live on the complete other side of the city now yet I still make the trip to take my pets here. They're never pushy and the vets truly love animals. It's truly worth waiting to get an appointment with this clinic and they always do their best to do everything they can to help

My Dog has had a few minor health issues during his first year and we are so thankful we chose McLeod Vet. They always do their best to get him in as soon as possible and following any concern they always do a phone call follow-up a few days later to check in and make sure he is on the mend! They show him so much care and affection that he actually loves going there!
