Just want to thank the two wonderful professional ladies that helped me today with my decision to put my precious Lucky down after 15 years of so much love and companionship. They treated me with dignity and kindness. Made my decision so much easier. Would highly recommend Antigonish Veterinary Clinic. Read Less

Took us in right away. Poor daughter's bunny had a prolasped uterus so we had to put her down.

The staff and doctor here are incredible. They went out of their way to make sure our kitten was taken care of and in good health. Could not recommend this clinic more.

My cat, Midnight had some issues and I took him to this clinic and they were very diligent in helping him. I took Midnight back a second time, and unfortunately he passed away on this visit, but I cannot express my gratitude for the care given to Midnight and the kindness I received from Dr. Veinot and the vet techs. It was an awful day and they all made it a little bit easier, they were very patient and caring during a very difficult time for me and my little boy. I absolutely recommend this clinic, especially Dr. Veinot. You can tell she truly cares about your pet's well-being and comfort. Read Less

Much better than it used to be - younger vets, more staff, good rates. A lot is changing at once, so it's a bit hectic, and communication among staff needs improvement. Once they iron out their systems, it would be great if they had a web page or facebook page - possibly only for clients - with more tips. The cone they gave my Shih Tzu was too small, so he could lick his wound, and rub the cone against it. Only after did they suggest a child's onesie, which works great, and replaces the cone. They could offer cheap ones for sale instead of the cone. Read Less

I have been a customer at this vet clinic several times for issues related to my aging cat. Overall I think this clinic does just fine especially if you are there for routine things like rabies shots and check-ups. However I do not believe this is this is the place for you if you have a pet with a more serious condition or perhaps unusual. I am biased because I'm moved to Antigonish from a places that have more selection of clinics and stronger links to university vet hospitals and programs. So by comparison Antigonish Vet Clinic is OK but is not nearly as thorough about diagnoses as I am used to. For a thorough examination or if your pet seems to be experiencing something unusual it is well worth the drive to Pictou Veterinary Clinic on High Street. No disresepect to Antiogonish Vet Clinic. I think they are fine for routine things and I'm glad they're an option. Read Less

All vets charge in the same way, $40-$50 bucks for the appointment, no matter what the problem or how long it takes to diagnose.  I recently lost my my dog to a terrible disease, and the support, time and genuine care and concern that I recieved from all of the staff at Antigonish Veterinary Clinic was amazing.  We had a series of appointments and blood tests, and every single staff member knew what was going on and was pulling for us.  When the tough decision to put him down came, they gave us all the time in the world to be with him.  I know that they see animals being put down on a regular basis for a variety of reasons but I felt their compassion.  This was not a routine day at the office, they are true animal lovers and they greived with us.  That kind of service does not come with a price tag.  To feel that kind of support on one of the worst days of my life was invaluable.Yes, the vet bill stings...every time you go in, whether it is for a surgery, a shot or just a check up.  I cannot disagree with that.  I have lived in Ontario, British Columbia and now Nova Scotia and it is the same everywhere.  I've decieded to suck it up, and continue to have pets and care for them with professional medical support.  Afterall, what would we do without our furry friends.  RIP Harley Dog xoxoxo Read Less

This is a great vet clinic if you make a large income. They charge more than all the other vets in the area and we have only put up with it because they are nearest and it's convenient. While I have had no problem with their standard of care and non of my pets have had any problems post-operation, they will not stick their necks out one millimeter to help you. To get antibiotics for my rodent (which are harmless to everything but maybe a housefly), I was forced to book an appointment. They charged me 50 dollars for someone to turn my pet over in his hand, hem, haw, and give me the medications I asked for in the first place. As someone who occasionally rehabs animals (including wild animals) it is nice to sometimes be given a bit of trust, but all this clinic cares about is money. Take your pet somewhere else. Read Less
