Eglinton-Hwy 10 Veterinary Clinic

This my my BF’s dog’s vet. The staff are very caring and attentive.
I appreciate that the place is as clean as possible every time we visit.
The vet really made us feel much more at ease when the dog was sick. We were in a mega panic thinking our fur baby had dog «bloat» (please don’t google that unless you want to cry all day and night reading what it is) when he really just had some type of mild indigestion.
They have little treats for your pet to enjoy while they visit the doc!

** this review would be zero stars if that was a choice.
The similar stories here should tell all animal lovers to stay away from Eglinton Highway 10 Veterinary Clinic.
My story is no different. My dog was having difficulties walking, this vet insisted on x-​rays so I agreed. They told us her leg was broken in 2 locations, little did they know my sister is an x-​ray/​radiation technician for humans and she reviewed the xray and said the vet was lying. Don’t be surprised if they no longer give you copies of the x-​rays now.
Eglinton-​Hwy10 recommended immediate surgery for a very high price and quickly offered a number of payment plans to help me decide (the cost was several thousand dollars!). I would have no qualms paying that amount if it was actually needed, our dog is part of the family after all.
Turned out to be a piece of glass embedded in her paw.

Let me just begin by saying that I am disgusted. My Shi Tzu has been going to this clinic ever since I can remember, so when we got a new dog it seemed odd that my sister began taking him to another clinic. My mother had always had complaints about this clinic, though, especially concerning how expensive it is. Changing clinics for my Shi Tzu was the best decision my family ever made. When we took him to the new clinic, with vets who actually love and care for animals and do not simply care about the money they bring in, we received some news.
#1 — my dog was receiving vaccines every year, when he only needed to receive them every 3 – 4 years. One can evidently notice the stark difference. Bringing in my dog every year for vaccines he did not need meant Eglinton-​Hwy 10 Vet Clinic was pocketing more and more cash.
#2 — my Shi Tzu is on the older side, and of course he had some minor problems with his health, but not according to this clinic. For the past three years this clinic never once diagnosed my dog for one thing. The vet would check him, look at his CLEARLY muggy and almost blind eye, and state that all was well. Lazy. Careless. Funny how when we took my dog to the new vet clinic the doctor diagnosed him for three things on the spot; thyroid problems, KCS, and a tooth that was slowly making its way out of his jaw and making a hole in his cheek (quite common in Shi Tzu’s due to their face structure), WHICH BY THE WAY, Eglinton-​Hwy 10 clinic stated was just a cut form the groomers.
#3 — this horrible clinic never once stated that my dog was losing his sight, and the most horrible part is that if they weren’t so money hungry and cared a little more, the KCS could have been stopped in its tracks, as is very possible, proven in previous cases. But because we trusted a clinic we should not have, my poor dog has now lost sight in both eyes.
#4 — probably the most nauseating, is the fact that this clinic would substitute PROPER medication for my dogs foggy eye in the very beginning of his seeing days with steroids!
Oh and as if all that is not bad enough, they would state that blood tests were being done. If these blood tests were truly being done then would they not have known of all these issues the new vet found? AND THE CHERRY ON TOP is the fact that the New Vet knew exactly who this horrible vet from this horrible clinic was without a name being said.
STAY AWAY FROM EGLINTON-​HWY 10 CLINIC.
I highly recommend Westbridge Veterinary Hospital. Best doctors my family and I have ever encountered! Thanks to Westbridge my Shi Tzu will hopefully be feeling much better very soon.
