I took my french bulldog in who was exibiting signs of dehydration and gastritis, the vet was most concerned with me understanding that the dog had acute hemmorahagic gastrits syndrome then coming up with any comprehensive care for the dog. A woman came in with an estimate to keep the dog for 3 days for an astronomical amount of money and when I informed them that I would have to take the dog home, I was given a dirty look and when I tried to engage in trying to find another option she turned her back to me and left the room... read more

I have been using the Fairfax service for 12+ years. Today is the last day I am using it. The office manager Tayler overwrote the vet's care. She thought she knew more than our vet's decision on how to care for our little puppy. She said that the vet doesn't know their policy (after she had been with the office for many years) and the vet doesn't know the puppy needs to see a vet instead of technican for 2 weeks follow up vaccines. When I argued with her that if an office manager without medical training thought she knew bet... read more

I visited Pender Veterinary Center in late February 2023. I was concerned with a dog bite my dog had received and a persistent cough and gagging behavior. They cleaned his wound and provided antibiotics and pain medication. They indicated the cough and gagging was benign. Now my dog is on his second day fighting for his life with pneumonia. Brushed off at Pender.
Business response:
Hi Glen, we are sorry to hear that your pup is not doing well. We always aim to provide the highest quality of care to all our patients. We had trouble identifying you as a client from your first name alone. Please give us a call at your convenience, and ask to speak with our Managing Veterinarian.
Dr. Hyatt and Kayla were great helping my puppy take out a drain from a recent injury. They got it out quickly and helped me understand the next steps for her recovery. River loves going to Pender and today was no different.
Business response:
Thank you for your kind compliments, Jennifer! We love visits from you and River, and appreciate you trusting us with your pet's care.
Pender is always amazing with my two dogs. You can really tell the staff care about animals and want the best for them.
Business response:
Thank you for sharing your wonderful review, Jennifer. The qualities you described are the goals we strive to achieve for all of our clients.
Why does Pender Veterinary Centre charge $145 for 6 doses of NexGard while Costco has the exact same for $80?
Care was good in general, but they are expensive and staff wasn't very clear on phone and in person about prices. Our dogs saw one doctors a few months ago, then went back for vaccines recently and saw another doctor. It seems you have to pay an $85 exam fee every time you see a new doctor, which was very surprising to me. And the physical exam took all of 3 minutes. I assumed they would work as a team.
Business response:
Thank you for the feedback, Ms. Mazzone. We apologize for the confusion. We would be happy to review our services, and how our veterinarians work together.
