  I'm not sure if they have the animals best interest at heart. I had a cat with a tumor on her head. Because of the location, it was recommended she recieve surgery, then radiation 5x a week for a month while being put under. She would be blinded by the radiation, or even need her eyes removed. She would lose all her sight. Then she'd remain cancer free for only up to 2 years, and there was also a 25% chance the cancer has/could spread to the rest of her body, by that time, she's be a senior cat. The estimated cost was $10,000. After all that, knowing she was a nervous cat, I knew she wouldn't come out the same mentally/emotionally. The entire process would be painful and traumatizing for her, with not that much longer life span granted. It was only painfully drawing out the inevitable. She was given 2 months to live untreated. The vet was oppossed to euthanasia oddly, which I felt was the most compassionate choice. She lived a beautful 2 more months with me at home, and then I had her euthanized when she went downhill, so she could be at rest, and pass away peacefully with no traumatizing treatments or pain, and be at home in her final days snuggled with me and not in a metal cage. I wouldn't torture my poor baby for my benefit of keeping her around for my benefit. Death is a natural process, and we need to respect when it's their time, so they can pass peacefully and with dignity.

  They staff are friendly and its clean there. I like that students are learning and under supervision from great vets. They saved my cats life in short notice amputated her leg. My cats leg lost circulation due to careless staff at Acadia Veterinary Clinic whom either put the bandage on wrong(the vet didnt check on my cat after the technician wrapped the bandage) or something went wrong in the surgery. Easy for them since results came back inconclusive regardless, they blamed my cat for throwing an artery at anytime in her life. They reinbursed me in ‘good faith’ instead of fixing the issue. The amputation was needed to save her life and they shod have paid for it. A sugary vet, empty promises and a pay off. I will never forget. The University Small animal clinic cleaned up their mess and saved her life. The staff made me feel comfortable that my cat would be taken care of and I felt they did care about my concerns. The bill was fair. If your pet needs to go through a major surgery go here.

  Took my Sheltie in and thought he would not be coming home. After tests and a overnight stay he's home with the spring back in his step. The staff and doctors were amazing. The coffee was a touch strong! Thanks so much!

  My pug went in for a cancerous mouth tumour. The entire staff, including the receptionists, surgery team, etc, were absolutely fantastic. The communication we received was by far the best we’ve ever experienced. Since we live in regina, this made us very comfortable knowing our baby was in good hands every step of the way! Thank you so much!
