I ❤ Dartmouth Vet! I was in there this morning with my Old English Sheepdog and a Boxer Chihuahua mix and Cass was awesome! My girls were wrangy and wild, and she was nothing but patient and loving to them both. She helped with all of my questions, and at one point she left the room and my dogs were actually whining for her to come back! They are my little demons but I love them, and it's so nice to bring them somewhere with people who clearly love them too! Read Less

This vet clinic is absolutely amazing! I have a rescue dog that is very nervous of everything and occasionally reacts. The staff are so accommodating and treat us like gold. They go out of their way every time we are there. They have muzzles for you to borrow if needed and you are able to request a female vet if your dog is afraid of men. They are just the best!

I have only good things to say about the Dartmouth Veterinary Hospital. The staff are always pleasant and never rush you no matter how busy. The doctors are caring and patient, you feel secure in knowing they will do everything in their power to help your pet. I would like to thank Dr. Robb and Dr. Akerley for their attention to our Bunny. Read Less

A very positive experience the staff are very friendly , knowledgeable and helpful. This practice was recommended to us when we first got our dog Pepper and I have not been disappointed with the recommendation. Read Less

I was previously a foster Mom for Good Bones Dog Rescue and took all of my fosters here. They are very professional, caring and we could make appts at last minute to get them. In December I adopted my foster german shepherd Silas and made the decision to stay with Dartmouth Vet. Dr Fraser is very compassionate, easy to talk to and extremely informative. The staff are all excellent from when you walk in the front door to when you are leaving. I would highly recommend Dartmouth Vet!! :) Read Less

A great environment with very pleasant and caring staff. It's now the only veterinary clinic I'll go to. My cat isn't fond of leaving my house, but he warms up to these staff members as if he's always known them. Read Less

Without a doubt, Dr, Rob is the best  -  a kind, considerate, compassionate man who goes over and above to treat your cats and yourself with understanding and comfort.  In the past few months, we had to euthanize two aging, sick "fur babies"  and this dear veterinarian  was simply amazing.   If only all vets could be this way!!!  (Dr, ROBB) Read Less

We switched to Dartmouth Veterinary Hospital in fall of 2016, based on recommendation from a neighbour. We've had a much better experience. We really felt the animals needs are put first, and the tech's / Drs. really take the time to answer any questions. We never feel rushed there, or pressured to do anything we don't feel comfortable doing. I also feel they don't want to do anything that they don't need to do unless it is necessary. We just had our cat's teeth cleaned, they suspected 6 months ago it may need to be done, but they wanted reassess as it was the first time we were in that clinic. Our previous vet kept trying to push it on us, and then push a food product. We have not experienced any of that with Dartmouth Vet Clinic. We will continue to take both our cat and dog here!

Excellent veterinary. Staff very friendly and caring. The Doctors are great with the animals and very thorough. They take the time to listen to your questions and provide answers. I have been taking my cats, Carey and Daisy to them for 9 years. Thank you. Read Less

I can't say enough great things about Dartmouth Veterinary Hospital, our regular vet, Dr. Paul Robb, and the other vets and staff at the clinic. Everyone is so kind, caring and professional, and I always know that my dog Millie is in great hands. I'm delighted that we discovered this great veterinary hospital and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a vet. A huge thank you to all of you! Read Less

We are in the midst of having our cat Salem tested and potentially treated. We have been quite worried about him. Dr. Robb was very compassionate and honest with us, and I and I know that whatever the test results are, Salem will receive excellent care. All staff at Dartmouth Veterinary Hospital are always friendly, professional, and patient. They make visits so easy. Many thanks to all. Read Less

I've been with this vet hospital for 24 years now and only great things to say. The are always compationite as well as knowledgeable. Reasonable in helping to choose best plan of care with a thought also about financial costs. My most recent experience was with my kitty Jingles and we had to put him down as in kidney failure. They were patient and respectful with me and Jingles!! Thank you. I would highly recommend them !! Linda A. Read Less

All of the technicians and Veterinarians are always great with my cat and dogs. They are very helpful and are able to answer all of my questions. I would highly recommend this clinic to any pet owner! Read Less

The workers here are great! From the lady's at the front desk to dr. Jones. So friendly, kind, very informative....just what you expect from people dealing with your loved ones. They also deal with a company called "pet card", a finance option to help pay your bill over a period of time. I will be spreading word of mouth on their wonderful customer service. Thank you!!

Our dog has been going to the Dartmouth Veterinary Hospital since we moved to Nova Scotia 3 years ago. Our dog is older (16 now) so he is back and forth to the vet's fairly often these days. Dartmouth Veterinary Hospital staff have always been friendly, courteous and helpful. No long delays to see the vet and the doctor has always been patient, kind, caring and thorough. I appreciate receiving copies of the Dr's notes by email so I can always show my husband exactly what was said and how our dog is doing. This is a good veterinary clinic. Read Less

Vet staff were so kind and went above and beyond for me and my kitty today. From the second I walked in the door they were taking care of me. The lady vet was really nice and went over everything with me. I'm glad I chose Dartmouth Veterinary they give a wonderful experience! Also very close to bus route and coffee :) Read Less

My six year old sheltie Riley was diagnosed with a tumor on his back and underwent surgery to remove the growth. Staff was attentive and the followup report with the attending veterinarian was prompt and straight forward. The cost and side effects of further treatment was outlined, giving me a clear choice. I have visited Dartmouth Veterinary Hospital for over 20 years with two dogs and have always found service to be satisfactory. I have confidence that my dog's health will be well looked after.

I have been taking my dogs to Dr. Paul Robb at Dartmouth Veterinary Hospital for 30 plus years.  I would never consider another Vet.!   Dr. Robb is kind, compassionate and will go out of his way to help his patients.  Yesterday as an example, we had to put our dog down with no notice.  His day was fully booked but he came to work early, got his supplies, and came to our home, fitting us into his already busy day.  If you are lucky enough to already have him for a vet, he will always find a way to help when it is needed.  Yes, this clinic is a little more costly than some others, but you get what you pay for in this case!

I haven't had much experience with vets, so it's hard to review properly. I had a dog growing up, but in my small town there were no vets. In fact, the idea of going to a vet was some sort of fancy-pants nonsensical luxury on the same level as owning an umbrella (you think I'm joking).My first experience with this place was as the roommate of a cat owner. Miss M (the cat, not the owner) had some health issues, and my roommate was back and forth with her several times. I tagged along as the driver and provider of moral support. And even though I was only the kitty aunt, not the mama, I was very attached. There were several tests, and "let's try this for a while" and "why don't we give her some really expensive food we just happen to sell here" and so on. Eventually, we got the news we knew was coming. Nothing could really be done. By this point, Miss M had lost a lot of weight and was no longer really herself.I again tagged along for the final visit, and was in the room for the procedure. Her usual doctor wasn't available, so we had a different vet in the room with us. He reviewed her chart, came to the conclusion that the cause of the problems might be something not considered by the first vet, and suggested we hold off on the procedure and try some new tests. While I did get the impression he was genuinely trying to help, this is an AWFUL thing to do to someone in this circumstance. He forced my roommate to make the uncomfortable decision that putting her down was still the right choice and left her with doubts she had done the right thing. Though deep down we both knew it was the right thing - that kitty was suffering. When I adopted my kitty, I didn't really know much about other vets in the area, so I decided to take her here. I was slightly apprehensive because I remembered how much money my roommate had spent here, but I also didn't know if it was anything different than any other vet. My first visit was free as part of my adoption agreement with the SPCA. My Marti got checked over as thoroughly as is possible without getting tests done. The vet discovered ear mites and treated them. My total cost was $13. This I can live with!I recently took her back to get checked for what I thought was a UTI. The vet checked her over, asked some questions, and decided to hold off on the test in favour of treating other issues he thought might be to blame. While the visit and resulting followup and treatments were not cheap ($230 total), he was right on the money and Marti is content and back to herself. He could have easily tacked on an expensive UTI test anyway, but didn't.There's some good here, and some not so great. Without comparing to another vet, it's difficult to assess, but I think a 3 star rating is fair. Read Less

This is the "hospital" for our furry children.  I've been using them for well over a decade now, and have always had great experiences with them.  They take great care with our furry friends.  They are very knowledgeable with all dog breeds, having a greyhound (they require special care with anesthetics and such) we very much appreciate their knowledge and care.They do the little extra things that keep us coming back for our pet check-ups.  An ear cleaning, nail trimming, a tasty treat, all these things make for a great vet experience.Once, we had pet rats, on the passing of one of them they kindly disposed of him for my teary wife.  I don't recall if they even charged her.  What I do remember is how much compassion they had.  Most would say "it's just a rat" but not them, they treated it with the respect little Cole deserved.They are a bit pricey on their meds and dental care however, which is what keeps them from the 5 star range.  We always get a little gasp when we look at our vet visit bill.  Worth it?  I think so, but a discount for us long time customers would be nice.

I often wonder why it cost so much to go to a vet.  We have taken our dog to this location on a number of times due to the same issue that he had since he was puppy and he is now 6 as well his breed is know for this. Each and every time we come out with the same prescription as well as a sitting fee that ends up costing about $200.We have asked over and over just to have the prescription refilled as we know it is the same issue but they will not.  I just don't understand that at your regular Doc you can have refills but at a Vet you are not able too.So currently I do not frequent this location only for necessary items as this week I had to run down for a cone for his head cost me $13 bucks which was not bad.
