Toronto Veterinary Emergency Hospital

I can’t say enough good things about this Veterinary Hospital. The vets, vet technicians and reception are fantastic. They take exceptional care of our dogs and would highly recommend them. A wonderful team of professionals.

My little baby Seymour came to TVEH to see Dr. Patten and the oncology team. Although my baby's diagnosis was not the outcome we wanted (darn you sarcoma) Dr. Patten was very compassionate and honest with his insight and answers for us. Even though we only had one visit here before palliating my sweet baby (since his cancer was so aggressive) we were very lucky we ad the experience with them. Thank you for giving me the answers that Seymour and I were looking for.

Woke up to my bully's eyes almost swollen shut at 4 am on Thanksgiving. Spoke with Katie who told me to bring him in immediately. He was seen and treated right away. Katie was extremely helpful and kind, and all the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. The veterinarian explained everything and sent us home with clear directions. My bully was not stressed at all. We were home within an hour. Prices were reasonable and fair. Clinic was modern and very clean. Very thankful to have such a great clinic available in case of an emergency!

Our experience with Dr. Melanie Dickerson was very good. Toronto Veterinary Emergency Hospital is a very busy clinic but their service was prompt, efficient and caring.

Our 15-year-old cat Felix had been vomiting and not eating properly for quite a while and our regular vet’s blood testing didn’t provide any conclusive results. We were advised to see an internal medicine specialist and got an appointment with Toronto Veterinary Emergency Hospital for a couple weeks later.

The clinic was very busy when I arrived for the appointment but they admitted Felix quite quickly. I discussed Felix’s issues with a very pleasant and sympathetic clinician.

An ultrasound was then performed on Felix while I went home to wait. I received a call from Dr. Melanie Dickerson about two hours after Felix was admitted and she explained that there were a number of masses found that would likely indicate cancer. Dr. Dickerson suggested we could further evaluate his condition and prognosis by performing a needle biopsy procedure. The result came back a couple of days later - positive for lymphoma. Dr. Dickerson explained Felix’s condition and treatment options very clearly and answered all our questions.

Since Felix had declined quickly, we decided it was time to put him to sleep. Dr. Dickerson was very empathetic and supported our decision.

We were happy with the service and treatment and we feel the price was fair.
