Gouges patients for money for unnecessary shots and unnecessary procedures. I sent my mom with my pup for a single booster (with paperwork from another vet stating she had JUST gotten an exam) and he gave her another "exam" (set her on a scale) for $70!!! She didn't need an exam. Dr Smith also manipulated my mother into paying for a shot that she tried repeatedly to decline. Find another vet for your fur babies. Dr Smith is not personable and doesn't give a crap about you or your pets. Money hungry jerk.

Today I take my dog to what was supposed to be an 10:45 appointment for a check up for the LAST time EVER at that vet as she has been scratching her ears, 11:30 rolls around, the doctor shows up, takes her in but i had to hold her because she was squirming she wasn't happy that he was in her ears, anyway he proceeds to tell me I am not holding her tight enough and was getting very irritated with her or me which ever it doesn't really matter this is his job. So I then held her close to me so he could put drops in but before that takes his hand and pushed her head against my collar bone and he did it hard enough that it moved my feet and says your not stern enough you dont ever put your hands on anyone at any time...he kept walking out of the room like he was mad, get an assistant.She is a small dog So after that he goes on to cut her nails she lets out a yelp but I didn't realize he cut her nail to short until paying their was blood all over my arm... I noticed it and said she's bleeding then the secretary put the powder on to stop the bleeding. $140 later to look in her ears meds and cut her nails? That's not a checkup to me, this visit was hell, I left their in tears, I was embarrassed, he is very rude their was lots more to the visit but this is just to let people know about my experience and it was not a good one. You don't leave upset/crying you should be happy for your baby it was a nightmare!

I had an excellent experience taking my dog here! Dr. Smith gave me very detailed information on how to treat my dog, and was willing to listen to all of my questions and address my concerns with knowledgeable answers. Dr. Smith was also very willing to listen to my suggestions and treatment options. The staff out front was also very patient with my dog who barked like a maniac for the first 5 minutes we were there. Thank you for being so patient and for such a great experience!

I've been bringing my pets to Main St vet hospital for over 16 years. First my two cats.. one of which was asthmatic and had other chronic issues. Since then, my 2 dogs- one of which has old doggy ptsd with the new baby and new puppy in the house. I am comforted by Dr Smith's true care for my pets and first course of action to not be hard drugs but instead homeopathic and natural remedies. The good care I've received for these many years and for my "other babies" makes me loyal to Dr Smith's care. Thank you!

I certainly wouldn't suggest getting a bunny fixed here- they don't do females & I found them pretty dismissive about questions or what I could do to give him comfort, I brought food for him because it was an all day procedure and they gave me the SAME amount of food back so my bunny went through this without eating a thing! I brought a water bowl and it came back bone dry, so he got put under anesthesia with nothing in his stomach which you CAN NOT do with bunnies, HOURS later and my bunny is still messed up on medication, and there is blood on his blanky which I was told shouldn't be there- I called to ask questions after the procedure as well because I'm literally freaking out- and they were very unhelpful. They don't know enough about bunnies to do it, so don't go. Made my mistake.(Experts with dogs and cats and has even helped my guinea pig that's why I thought well my rabbit would be fine here but it's not the case- Everything but Rabbits seems to be more than fine/healthy going here.) Fredericton Vet hospital really pampers bunnies :)

Dr. Smith has been my animals vet for over 15 years now. I've always had great experiences here. A few years ago my dog Sheba ended up with heart disease and it was too far gone. We tried medicine and unfortunately the right valve had pretty much collapsed, nothing more we could do. Time came and we had to do the humane thing. Dr. Smith cried right along with me as I said my goodbyes. I will never forget that. I knew at that moment he will be our family vet forever. Thank you for the kindness and your professionalism. And thank you for all of your help with my current furbabies!

We have had Shawn as a vet for nearly twenty years and in that time we have had zero issues. We have always found him to be professional and caring for our dogs, very thorough and willing to take the time to explain what he was doing and answering any questions we have. when we had to have our Doberman put down because of cancer, he and his staff were very compassionate and caring.
Recently we had to have him come in to the clinic on a Sunday to look at our Greyhound who had injured his legs. Again, Shawn was so helpful and took excellent care of our boy.
I always recommend Shawn, and will continue to do so. As a sidenote, my niece has a German Shorthair Pointer, from Shawn's kennel, and he is a great and beautiful dog.

We drove in under what we thought was an emergency. Based on the hours left to travel. This nut job did all he could to diswade us even though his girl Friday gave instructions online in case of emergency. Wing nut starts out with 250 off the bat. Then went downhill doing voodoo medicine that we ended that night ND some stupid weird ass drops he was going on and on about. Slapping the vial 10 times etc. It was all I could do to slap this joke in the face. University of vets in Quebec did three surgeries to fix what asshole stuck in a half syringe. We have notified Taxation Canada so no freebies. This guy is a joke. Never stop there. His Bimbo drove home in. He was under some influenced and stunk like fish. Shame on you. Money grabber.

I did not have a good experience at this clinic. Dr. Shawn Smith had NO bedside manner with me or my puppy. He never even touched her....had me hold her up to show him where she had gotten at her self and got all her stitches out, had an assistant come in to hold my puppy to give her a needle to put her to sleep....then told me I could "hold her or they would JUST put her in a kennel"---seriously?...what a nice way to say it!! They charged me just under 300.00 to have her spayed and for some meds etc. and charged me 480.00 plus to re stitch her!! For needles, meds, checkup ( the one where he never touched her), etc etc.!! Dr. Smith made me feel terrible. I guess he felt I was neglectful in letting her get her stitches out, but I told them this was our FIRST dog ever and to please let me know what I needed to do. After her surgery, they never offered a cone for her or any other ways to be sure she did not lick herself. Just handed her to me and sent me on my way. I do not like them at all and will not go back there.

I had a bad experience here a few years ago, I took my 16 year dog in to be euthanized. After a very quick visit from the vet, he gave the first needle to put her to sleep, when he came back to give the second needle, she was not asleep. He gave the second needle anyway, I was not alert enough to protest. The dog them howled for the next thirty seconds as she passed away...it was very traumatic. Basically he did not properly dose the dog for the sleep portion and she suffered for the last moments of her life. Do not go here...

I brought my cat here several years ago, and would never do it again. It wasn't his usual vet, but it was clear there was something seriously wrong with him so I brought him to the closest vet who could fit him in. I was particularly interested in the Main Street Veterinary Hospital because they advertised that they practice alternative or holistic medicine as well. I brought a sample of the cat's vomit with me, because it seemed weirdly pink and I was worried it might have blood in it (I was freaked out). The vet gave the cat a cursory and rough look over, threw the vomit sample in the garbage with a sneer, and then told us the cat was sick because he was stressed out by our home environment. He prescribed expensive food and what he described as "kitty prozac" (also very expensive). We thought the diagnosis was ridiculous, so we brought the cat to his regular vet the next day. It turns out he had an intestinal blockage and needed emergency surgery. The other vet called Main Street Veterinary Hospital and chewed the vet out until he agreed to give us our money back. More importantly, if we hadn't sought a second opinion our cat would have died. Highly NOT recommended.

Dr. Smith gave me very detailed information on how to treat my dog, and was willing to listen to all of my questions and address my concerns with knowledgeable answers. Dr. Smith was also very willing to listen to my suggestions and treatment options. The staff out front was also very patient with my dog who barked like a maniac for the first 5 minutes we were there. Thank you for being so patient and for such a great experience!

I've been bringing my pets to Main St vet hospital for over 16 years. First my two cats.. one of which was asthmatic and had other chronic issues. Since then, my 2 dogs- one of which has old doggy ptsd with the new baby and new puppy in the house. I am comforted by Dr Smith's true care for my pets and first course of action to not be hard drugs but instead homeopathic and natural remedies. The good care I've received for these many years and for my "other babies" makes me loyal to Dr Smith's care. Thank you!

I certainly wouldn't suggest getting a bunny fixed here- they don't do females & I found them pretty dismissive about questions or what I could do to give him comfort, I brought food for him because it was an all day procedure and they gave me the SAME amount of food back so my bunny went through this without eating a thing! I brought a water bowl and it came back bone dry, so he got put under anesthesia with nothing in his stomach which you CAN NOT do with bunnies, HOURS later and my bunny is still messed up on medication, and there is blood on his blanky which I was told shouldn't be there- I called to ask questions after the procedure as well because I'm literally freaking out- and they were very unhelpful. They don't know enough about bunnies to do it, so don't go. Made my mistake.(Experts with dogs and cats and has even helped my guinea pig that's why I thought well my rabbit would be fine here but it's not the case- Everything but Rabbits seems to be more than fine/healthy going here.) Fredericton Vet hospital really pampers bunnies :)

Dr. Smith has been my animals vet for over 15 years now. I've always had great experiences here. A few years ago my dog Sheba ended up with heart disease and it was too far gone. We tried medicine and unfortunately the right valve had pretty much collapsed, nothing more we could do. Time came and we had to do the humane thing. Dr. Smith cried right along with me as I said my goodbyes. I will never forget that. I knew at that moment he will be our family vet forever. Thank you for the kindness and your professionalism. And thank you for all of your help with my current furbabies!

We have had Shawn as a vet for nearly twenty years and in that time we have had zero issues. We have always found him to be professional and caring for our dogs, very thorough and willing to take the time to explain what he was doing and answering any questions we have. when we had to have our Doberman put down because of cancer, he and his staff were very compassionate and caring.
Recently we had to have him come in to the clinic on a Sunday to look at our Greyhound who had injured his legs. Again, Shawn was so helpful and took excellent care of our boy.
I always recommend Shawn, and will continue to do so. As a sidenote, my niece has a German Shorthair Pointer, from Shawn's kennel, and he is a great and beautiful dog.

Have been taking my cat here for many years and have always received great service. The staff is very helpful and patient. My cat was recently diagnosed with diabetes and I had lots of questions. I called several times and the staff, particularly Wendy, were extremely helpful. Dr. Smith has been his vet for years and I am happy with the care he receives.

I did not have a good experience at this clinic at all. Always late to receive you (between 30 and 60 min), poor service and charge arms and legs... I am not going to explain all my disagreement there but after several appointments with my cat and dogs, lots of $$$ and not satisfy at all... I did not recommend this place.

We drove in under what we thought was an emergency. Based on the hours left to travel. This nut job did all he could to diswade us even though his girl Friday gave instructions online in case of emergency. Wing nut starts out with 250 off the bat. Then went downhill doing voodoo medicine that we ended that night ND some stupid weird ass drops he was going on and on about. Slapping the vial 10 times etc. It was all I could do to slap this joke in the face. University of vets in Quebec did three surgeries to fix what asshole stuck in a half syringe. We have notified Taxation Canada so no freebies. This guy is a joke. Never stop there. His Bimbo drove home in. He was under some influenced and stunk like fish. Shame on you. Money grabber.

I did not have a good experience at this clinic. Dr. Shawn Smith had NO bedside manner with me or my puppy. He never even touched her....had me hold her up to show him where she had gotten at her self and got all her stitches out, had an assistant come in to hold my puppy to give her a needle to put her to sleep....then told me I could "hold her or they would JUST put her in a kennel"---seriously?...what a nice way to say it!! They charged me just under 300.00 to have her spayed and for some meds etc. and charged me 480.00 plus to re stitch her!! For needles, meds, checkup ( the one where he never touched her), etc etc.!! Dr. Smith made me feel terrible. I guess he felt I was neglectful in letting her get her stitches out, but I told them this was our FIRST dog ever and to please let me know what I needed to do. After her surgery, they never offered a cone for her or any other ways to be sure she did not lick herself. Just handed her to me and sent me on my way. I do not like them at all and will not go back there.

About 7 years ago I walked into your business and had my heart stolen by a puppy that had been abandoned there ! He went by the name of lochlan . He had parvo and was quarantined and on a special diet ! Just thought you guys should know he is the best dog in the world and is a very happy soul ! He gets full run of the house all day but chooses to not get off the couch ! Your staff was amazing with him and a stand up job from everyone all around

I had a bad experience here a few years ago, I took my 16 year dog in to be euthanized. After a very quick visit from the vet, he gave the first needle to put her to sleep, when he came back to give the second needle, she was not asleep. He gave the second needle anyway, I was not alert enough to protest. The dog them howled for the next thirty seconds as she passed away...it was very traumatic. Basically he did not properly dose the dog for the sleep portion and she suffered for the last moments of her life. Do not go here...

I work there after having worked for other veterinary hospitals. I really like the atmosphere. The staff are some of the best I've every worked with -- at any of my jobs over the past 40-some years. It really feels like a family and the staff goes above and beyond to help each other. The clients and their pets are highly respected and always get the best possible care. MY BEST JOB EVER!

I brought my cat here several years ago, and would never do it again. It wasn't his usual vet, but it was clear there was something seriously wrong with him so I brought him to the closest vet who could fit him in. I was particularly interested in the Main Street Veterinary Hospital because they advertised that they practice alternative or holistic medicine as well. I brought a sample of the cat's vomit with me, because it seemed weirdly pink and I was worried it might have blood in it (I was freaked out). The vet gave the cat a cursory and rough look over, threw the vomit sample in the garbage with a sneer, and then told us the cat was sick because he was stressed out by our home environment. He prescribed expensive food and what he described as "kitty prozac" (also very expensive). We thought the diagnosis was ridiculous, so we brought the cat to his regular vet the next day. It turns out he had an intestinal blockage and needed emergency surgery. The other vet called Main Street Veterinary Hospital and chewed the vet out until he agreed to give us our money back. More importantly, if we hadn't sought a second opinion our cat would have died. Highly NOT recommended.
