Absolutely disgusting experience with this vet, my 5 year old cat ended up passing away! We took him to the vet cause he was not eating and having liver problems and was yellow all over! We got there after being told he was going to need to be hospitalized we agreed to it and paid 635 dollars to vetcetra and 600 to metro emergency. He had no diagnosis but dr Emma suspected (Fatty Liver) we were told it was treatable, after having dr Emma continuously avoid my question of if he was going to survive or not, she kept refusing to answer saying its treatable. The next day we get a call saying we have to spend another 500 dollars on him to stay with vetcetra all day cause he was still sick, we agreed! So after spending close to 1800 dollars, he isnt even getting better at all and in worse shape then he left in. He's howling and crying in pain won't come out of hiding. We followed every thing exactly as told and still he ended up passing away. So we took him to a emerg vet a different one and found out he was misdiagnosed and had kidney and liver failure and cancer and was going to die anyways. So we spend almost 2000 dollars to find out our cat was going to die! All because vetcetra didn't do their job as a veterinarian to help our cat and a week later we lost him! Never going back to this vet again.

Dr. Emma and her team have offered friendly, excellent service since I've started bringing both of my little fur babies to the office. It's comforting to know that if anything comes up, they are extremely capable; but most importantly they clearly care about the health and well-being of your pets! The kindness and gentleness they've treated my little guys with during all of their visits is precisely why I prefer them over all other clinics. Highly recommend if you're looking for a vet office to treat your pets with just as much love as you do. :)

Dr. Emma and her team always take such amazing care of our cat, Chase - from emergency care, to boarding, to routine care - they even coached us through getting kitty’s weight down.

I had a very different experience at Vetcetera. My dog is a rescue and has only one eye. I got home at around 4:30 p.m. on a Friday afternoon in the fall to find that his eye was really red with a lot of discharge. I tried to take him to my vet but the doctors had already left for the day. So, I tried to take him to Vetcetera. First, I didn't realize that the front door is actually the door to the surgery area and I walked right in (it wasn't locked). A vet was there speaking with the owners of an animal who obviously was receiving care. The vet politely but firmly told me I was in the wrong place and to go to the side door. I felt very awkward about that the whole thing and found myself apologizing and backing out. I went around to the side door. When I entered, there was a very charming man leaning against the counter talking to the vet technician about his cat. They were having a long and very friendly conversation. I stood and listened and listened and listened. When she finally asked if I had an appointment I said no and I tried to explain what was happening but she did not appear to be interested in my dogs plight. She told me she would be with me shortly and continued her conversation with the charming man. When I started to get impatient she told me that if it was an emergency I could take him to the Emergency Clinic, which I did.

All of the staff at Vetcetera is very welcoming. I believe that they have fostered the perfect balance between friendly and professional. Going into the office isn't like going into any other vet that my family has seen.
I was thrilled with my first experience at Vetcetera, and have never been disappointed since. I especially appreciate how much time Dr. Emma is willing to spend with each pet (and their owners). I always have a lot of questions, but she is happy to answer them, and does so in a supportive, humorous, and informative fashion.
It's also very helpful that the staff encourages owners to call with questions or concerns. I appreciate all of their advice, and the time and energy they spend on their clients.
I've recommended Vetcetera to my close friends (with great results), and I highly recommend them to anyone currently without a vet, or anyone who is feeling uncomfortable with their present veterinarian. You and your pet will both be well cared for.

I first visited Vetcetera when my dog was a puppy and she just turned 14 years old! My partner and I have three dogs who've had various health issues (sometimes complicated) throughout the years. Dr. Raghavan and her staff have always been there for us. I trust their professional and personal opinions 110%. They show such care and compassion everytime we visit - whether it's to pick up monthly meds or to have surgery!! I'm a dog owner, dog lover and professional dog walker and love that I have such a strong and connected 'team' at Vetcetera that I can rely on for all of my 4-legged needs! My first (and second!) recommendation for a Vet is and has always been Vetcetera.

I was formally a client here, I received a notice in the mail saying it was time for my dog to have his annual appointment. Once I got there, it wasn't for needles, just a overall check-up. At that time they asked if I wanted a lyme test done, I agreed because I did remove a tick from him about 2 weeks prior. I paid for the voluntary test & check up. A couple days later, I got a devastating phone call informing me that my dog had lymes disease. Back to the vet I went to get more tests done & get medication to treat this lyme's disease along with soft food for a 60 lb dog, followed by urine & stool samples. My dog was so sick from the meds, he was puking & crapping all the time & everywhere. After about a week, I got another call from Vetcetera informing me that he does NOT have lymes disease, he has KIDNEY FAILURE and needs to go to PEI asap. I told them at the time, "screw you" - That was 7 - 8 years ago & my dog has been great every since. He's now 12. I wouldn't recommend this place to anybody!

When my lab passed away 6 years ago, I swore I would never have another pet....I now have 2 dogs. I decided to use a new vet clinic when I adopted Riley the Puggle and discovered Vetcetera about 6 years ago. I have continued that care with Rocco, the second dog I adopted about 3 years ago. My boys love going to the vet!!! They are pampered and loved by a courteous, professional and knowledgeable team. Through skin conditions, eye surgery, weight loss programs and yearly check ups, the staff at Vetcetera have provided outstanding service!! There are no surprises, everything is itemized and identified and all associated costs are reasonable and fair. These guys deserve a 5 star rating and I would highly recommend Vetcetera to anyone!!!

My cat is a 12-year-old cranky pants feline. We were going away for nine nights and there is no way she could be left at home with a visiting petsitter. One of her favourite displays of displeasure at being left alone for long periods of time is to poop on our bed. I'm not kidding.Our previous cat boarding kennel had closed so I was relieved to discover the friendly animal-loving staff at Vetcetera. Plus Vetcetera was recommended by our former boarding facility which had high standards.From the moment I called, I could tell these folks would look after my cat perhaps better than myself (well not really because she won't let people touch her), but they wanted to make sure they had all the cat's relevant health and personality information before we showed up.Upon showing up, they did a throrough assessment of my cat's health,made sure she didn't have fleas and, most impressively, weighed her to create a baseline for food consumption while she was there. I also had to initial that if her weight fell below a ceratin limit that the vetcetra folks could take measures, in this case tempting my cat with wet food, to keep her weight up.The "condo" was a bit small but my cat only weighs 7 pounds so small spaces suit her fine. If you have a larger beast, you might want to book a double. The staff is very caring and the price was right. Less expensive than our previous spot although here you have to provide your own food. The environment was super clean and the staff true animal lovers.I returned to discover that my cat had been well cared for and paid a lot of attention despite her cranky disposition. If you need boarding for your cat, definitely give them a call.

Dr. Emma and her team have offered friendly, excellent service since I've started bringing both of my little fur babies to the office. It's comforting to know that if anything comes up, they are extremely capable; but most importantly they clearly care about the health and well-being of your pets! The kindness and gentleness they've treated my little guys with during all of their visits is precisely why I prefer them over all other clinics. Highly recommend if you're looking for a vet office to treat your pets with just as much love as you do. :)

Dr. Emma and her team always take such amazing care of our cat, Chase - from emergency care, to boarding, to routine care - they even coached us through getting kitty’s weight down. Today, Victoria removed a yucky tick from Chase’s face and showed us what to do if he ever gets another one. Love Vetcetera. So helpful.

Professional and clean. However, it's quite pricey and the staff makes you feel like a bad pet owner even if you do a lot for your pet.

I had a very different experience at Vetcetera. My dog is a rescue and has only one eye. I got home at around 4:30 p.m. on a Friday afternoon in the fall to find that his eye was really red with a lot of discharge. I tried to take him to my vet but the doctors had already left for the day. So, I tried to take him to Vetcetera. First, I didn't realize that the front door is actually the door to the surgery area and I walked right in (it wasn't locked). A vet was there speaking with the owners of an animal who obviously was receiving care. The vet politely but firmly told me I was in the wrong place and to go to the side door. I felt very awkward about that the whole thing and found myself apologizing and backing out. I went around to the side door. When I entered, there was a very charming man leaning against the counter talking to the vet technician about his cat. They were having a long and very friendly conversation. I stood and listened and listened and listened. When she finally asked if I had an appointment I said no and I tried to explain what was happening but she did not appear to be interested in my dogs plight. She told me she would be with me shortly and continued her conversation with the charming man. When I started to get impatient she told me that if it was an emergency I could take him to the Emergency Clinic, which I did.

Dr Emma has been our family vet for our 6 cats since I moved to Bedford 9 years ago. Her whole team is professional, caring, compassionate, and know us by name. We've since moved to Hammond's Plains, but wouldn't consider finding a vet closer. I can't recommend this team enough.

Recently relocated to Nova Scotia from Ontario and had our first visit with the team here and loved it ! More importantly our two Boston terriers loved all the staff they met ! Everyone was very friendly and professional and their number one priority was the care of our little ones ! Great job guys ! Thank you for helping put our minds at ease and finding a new team to care for our "children" now if you could only be our family Dr too !

All of the staff at Vetcetera is very welcoming. I believe that they have fostered the perfect balance between friendly and professional. Going into the office isn't like going into any other vet that my family has seen.
I was thrilled with my first experience at Vetcetera, and have never been disappointed since. I especially appreciate how much time Dr. Emma is willing to spend with each pet (and their owners). I always have a lot of questions, but she is happy to answer them, and does so in a supportive, humorous, and informative fashion.
It's also very helpful that the staff encourages owners to call with questions or concerns. I appreciate all of their advice, and the time and energy they spend on their clients.
I've recommended Vetcetera to my close friends (with great results), and I highly recommend them to anyone currently without a vet, or anyone who is feeling uncomfortable with their present veterinarian. You and your pet will both be well cared for.

My dog cut his foot badly which involved a trip to the emergency clinic late on a Sunday night. The staff at Vetcetera where very helpful and regularly squeezed us in to check his foot . I was not charged for these checks that were for my peace of mind. I am very grateful for all of them and am completely confident in their abilities.

I first visited Vetcetera when my dog was a puppy and she just turned 14 years old! My partner and I have three dogs who've had various health issues (sometimes complicated) throughout the years. Dr. Raghavan and her staff have always been there for us. I trust their professional and personal opinions 110%. They show such care and compassion everytime we visit - whether it's to pick up monthly meds or to have surgery!! I'm a dog owner, dog lover and professional dog walker and love that I have such a strong and connected 'team' at Vetcetera that I can rely on for all of my 4-legged needs! My first (and second!) recommendation for a Vet is and has always been Vetcetera.

Dr Emma and the amazing staff at Vetcetera have always been the only ones to take care of our 3 furkids. There no other group of people we would trust more with our pooches health and well-being. From regular check ups to a major dental procedure & most recently sugary to remove a tumour from our little puglet we've always felt at ease with these girls taking care of us. We couldn't be more appreciative & grateful for everything you guys do!!

I was formally a client here, I received a notice in the mail saying it was time for my dog to have his annual appointment. Once I got there, it wasn't for needles, just a overall check-up. At that time they asked if I wanted a lyme test done, I agreed because I did remove a tick from him about 2 weeks prior. I paid for the voluntary test & check up. A couple days later, I got a devastating phone call informing me that my dog had lymes disease. Back to the vet I went to get more tests done & get medication to treat this lyme's disease along with soft food for a 60 lb dog, followed by urine & stool samples. My dog was so sick from the meds, he was puking & crapping all the time & everywhere. After about a week, I got another call from Vetcetera informing me that he does NOT have lymes disease, he has KIDNEY FAILURE and needs to go to PEI asap. I told them at the time, "screw you" - That was 7 - 8 years ago & my dog has been great every since. He's now 12. I wouldn't recommend this place to anybody!

When my lab passed away 6 years ago, I swore I would never have another pet....I now have 2 dogs. I decided to use a new vet clinic when I adopted Riley the Puggle and discovered Vetcetera about 6 years ago. I have continued that care with Rocco, the second dog I adopted about 3 years ago. My boys love going to the vet!!! They are pampered and loved by a courteous, professional and knowledgeable team. Through skin conditions, eye surgery, weight loss programs and yearly check ups, the staff at Vetcetera have provided outstanding service!! There are no surprises, everything is itemized and identified and all associated costs are reasonable and fair. These guys deserve a 5 star rating and I would highly recommend Vetcetera to anyone!!!

My cat is a 12-year-old cranky pants feline. We were going away for nine nights and there is no way she could be left at home with a visiting petsitter. One of her favourite displays of displeasure at being left alone for long periods of time is to poop on our bed. I'm not kidding.Our previous cat boarding kennel had closed so I was relieved to discover the friendly animal-loving staff at Vetcetera. Plus Vetcetera was recommended by our former boarding facility which had high standards.From the moment I called, I could tell these folks would look after my cat perhaps better than myself (well not really because she won't let people touch her), but they wanted to make sure they had all the cat's relevant health and personality information before we showed up.Upon showing up, they did a throrough assessment of my cat's health,made sure she didn't have fleas and, most impressively, weighed her to create a baseline for food consumption while she was there. I also had to initial that if her weight fell below a ceratin limit that the vetcetra folks could take measures, in this case tempting my cat with wet food, to keep her weight up.The "condo" was a bit small but my cat only weighs 7 pounds so small spaces suit her fine. If you have a larger beast, you might want to book a double. The staff is very caring and the price was right. Less expensive than our previous spot although here you have to provide your own food. The environment was super clean and the staff true animal lovers.I returned to discover that my cat had been well cared for and paid a lot of attention despite her cranky disposition. If you need boarding for your cat, definitely give them a call.
