We rushed our little Tiggers down from north of Parrysound on Friday evening as he was not well. He started out just fine in the morning but by afternoon he was clearly in distress. Nobody in Parrysound could take him and Huronia Clinic said bring him right away. They kept in contact constantly and though we were hoping they could save him they had to put him down. If they could have saved him any amount of money wouldn't have changed our mind. He was a siamese and not quite 6 years old. Dr. Boucher was very kind and sympathetic as was the vet technician "Carly". Even the receptionist on Friday night was kind and understanding. Thank you so much for all of you who cared. He was mommies baby always on my shoulder and even when I was vacuuming. My heart is still breaking two days later💕💕

Kindness, sincerity, patience and diligence are what we experienced with Dr. Tudose, Angela and the staff. When I first called to bring my dog in, I was instructed to instead have an urgent appointment with his vet. He ended up needing treatment through them, but I appreciate that they didnt bring him in until necessary. I was prepared to potentially feel overcharged, but found that they were incredibly considerate in that regard, keeping the treatments and costs to whats necessary. I could tell that they were busy, and dont doubt that thier jobs can be stressful, so how kind, patient and diligent they were was impressive. Thank you so much for exceeding our expectations!

These guys are really wonderful. The front desk staff were kind and responsive (I've never been offered a cup of coffee at any other vet office I've been to, and I've been to more than my fair share), and Dr. Trish Wendell, who treated our dog, Scout, was great. While our dog's ailment turned out to be minor in the grand scheme of veterinary emergency practice (a voracious beagle who may have gotten hold of a piece of a corn cob), Dr. Wendell was thorough in her examination, intelligent in her assessment, and solicitous in her explanation of our treatment options and concern for our worry. One of the things I was most struck by is how carefully they explained the financial considerations at play. They are clearly alert to the realities of pet owners who love their animals, but also may be struggling financially. We've had ample exposure to vets in our dog's eventful history, and our experience at Huronia and with Dr. Wendell definitely ranked with our most positive experiences. I recommend Huronia without reservation.

Animals and emergencies cost money. but that's one just of the responsibilities animals come with. for all of u ppl complaining about the cost, maybe u should have thought more about emergency funds. owning a pet is a privilege, not a right. how much do you think it costs to run a 24/7 emergency hospital? if they did everything for free or low cost, we wouldn't have them. so sick of the keyboard warriors. don't get mad at them because your animal got into something or had an accident. that's all on you. this place is here when you need it and that's the main point.

We had to take our dog in on the weekend. It was really busy but the receptionist was very helpful and reassured us about our dog. Even though we had to wait for about an hour to see the doctor one of the other staff, a nurse i think, took an initial look at Pumpkin and checked her heart and temperature so that we knew she was ok to wait. Turned out that she'd eaten some pot from the dog park and needed to be in the hospital getting it flushed out of her system. We were nervous about leaving her overnight but the doctor sent us a picture of her looking comfortable in her kennel and that made us feel better. Thought it was a nice touch considering how busy they were. Didn't seem much more expensive than the time I had to leave her at our regular vet. Glad they were there!

We brought are 14 year old Lab in with a 3in cut to the inside back leg, to make a very long story short when we took her to are vet we were horrified to find out that she was not stitched and now had a six inch cut wide open and bleeding very badly. it saddens me greatly in this day and age this could happen, are we advancing as a human race only in Technology you do the math Beware

We had a terrifying and stressful emergency with our precious kitty, and the folks at Huronia were so wonderful! They stayed calm, cool and collected while I was freaking out, explained everything to me (and patiently re-explained when I needed them to repeat things) in lay terms, and walked me through all treatment options (including prices) before asking my consent. The staff did everything they could to comfort both me and my cat in such a stressful time. Yes, they are a little pricey- but this isn't your average vet clinic. Also, it was appreciated that they are up-front with their prices before you have to commit to any treatment, and I never felt pushed- the vet was excellent at trying to help me decide what was necessary given the situation, giving what I felt was very objective medical advice. For quality & compassionate veterinary care at 9pm on a Sunday night, there is no better place for your beloved pet than at Huronia!

Brought my puppy in when she swallowed a sock. The receptionist asked me to fill out paper work but seeing my hands were full with my 2 kids and my puppy, she took my pup right away to induce vomiting of the sock. I was told over the phone it was $145 just to see the vet. (Ouch) another $50 to induce vomiting and another $50 to stop the vomiting, which I wasn't told about but they gave it without asking. So almost $300 later.... I know my vet charges $150 for this so it's pretty crazy it was almost double the price. In any case my pup is ok so I am happy about that. The office and area is clean and the staff was nice in my experience.

I cannot say enough positive things about this clinic. They took excellent care of our beloved Nala. I will always be grateful for the phone call at 2:00 am to let me know she made it through surgery. Yes, the cost is higher compared to our regular vet; which is justified as this is an emergency clinic with a Dr. on site at all times. Additionally, the Dr’s are managing multiple sick patients, and performing emergency surgeries.
I am an ICU nurse, and I was very impressed with how this clinic operates. The person at the front desk is triaging animals at the same time as managing all the clients and paperwork. It is an extremely busy place but they always identify the critical animals and take them in immediately.
People need to consider that this is literally an emergency room (without the Ohip funding) that operates 24 hours each day and we should not expect it to be the same as a regular veterinary practice.
Love all the staff and I am grateful for the work you guys do.

This review is based on my first impression on the phone and price tag.
My dog was followed up by Toronto VEC and needs a baseline bloodwork done when we are in Barrie.
I phoned first and see if this is possible. The lady who answered my call on March 29 said it is totally fine. When I called back on March 30, a different lady told me they are a 24 hours emergency hospital. I told her that I have phoned and she asked me whom did I talk to. I said it was a lady who worked the night before. She said “sure sure it’s a lady. We have many ladies here.” I told her that she doesn’t need to talk like that, and why does she needs to make me feel stupid. She said she didn’t and she said that she doesn’t know whom I talked to. I said she can just say that. She checked and talked to the doctor. She contacted and to got records from Toronto VEC for me dog. She was friendly when we arrived.
I only wanted a bloodwork. We were explained that although we don’t need a consultation, we need to pay for a re-check fee. I was fine with it. However, they told me a bloodwork baseline will cost $278 while the same thing at Toronto VEC costs $168. I said the pricing difference is crazy. I showed her the balance from Toronto VEC. Vet explained that this is their pricing and there is nothing they can do about it. She also explained they use a different machine.
At the end I opted to do only liver testing and not bloodcell testing as my dog was doing fine. We spent $210.97 which includes the vet fee for $67.1.
Staff are friendly there but I can’t believe for the same test, you need to pay $110 more than a big hospital in Toronto. Is it because you generally pay more in Barrie?
Was planning to do two testing in Barrie but based on this, we rather just head back to Toronto.

I only give one star because I can not go lower. These people are pirates. We brought our cat in on the weekend as he was seriously depleted and sick. They assessed him and did bloodwork and diagnosed him with FIP. For any who don't know, FIB is terminal, no cure, no treatment, nothing. So does the vet do the ethical and humane thing and advise euthanasia? No....they see my emotional wife and advise to prolong the suffering by keeping him overnight so they can give him antibiotics and an IV. $700.00 later, my cat is returned to us with a bandage and no other signs of any treatment. Again, the ethical and humane treatment of euthanasia is not advised, rather that they would like to do an xray to confirm what was originally diagnosed, hoping to further line their pockets by suggesting pointless treatments, taking advantage of emotionally charged clients, and a patient who can't complain, and is not well enough protected by law. These people should be charged with cruelty to animals for prolonging the suffering of a dying animal so they can make a buck. If this had been a human, in a hospital, they would have told us to call the family, not tried to sell us additional goods and services. Shameful.

Thank you so much to everyone who was working last night and gave us such compassionate care as we said goodbye to our beloved dog, Cash. It was our first visit to the clinic, and we knew we weren't going to leave with good news. We were taken in quickly, and given a fast diagnosis that broke our hearts but helped us make the decision to end Cash's suffering from an aggressive cancer. Not only did they give us lots of time and space to decide and say goodbye to our little guy, but they also held the room for an hour while we waited for his previous owner to drive in so he could say goodbye. There was never any pressure, and the vet we had was so gentle and compassionate. Thank you for helping us through a terrible night and for easing Cash's passing.

It was so awful!!! I waited an hour and a half to see the vet. She was so rude and inconsiderate. She belittled me and was arrogent.
She gave me several quotes for my dog who was ill. All the quotes she gave me were over 700 dollars. I was so upset because she was so vague at explaining what "could be wrong with my dog". I ended up leaving because The price for guessing what was wrong with my dog Was way to expensive. I still had to pay $150 for my dogs visit and the vet did Nothing. The appointment was 5 min long. Just a money grab. I was so Bothered by this. I called my other vet and went in to see them in the morning. My dog was seen right away and the appointment, treatment and medication cost me $200. Not only is this vet gouging people the seriously lack Customer service skills too. stay away!!!!!!!!!!! Don't waste your time or money

We brought our little kitten, Willow, in after only having her in our care for 2 days and she was in dire condition. It didn't look promising and we were a mess. The team at the clinic took her in right away and set her up with what ever care they could. Over the next 3 days she stayed at the clinic and they provided her with non stop care. They were so compassionate and really helped us make the best decisions at a time when we were not very clear minded. They answered all of our questions - even when we were calling at all hours of the night for up dates. It has been one month since then and our kitten has made a remarkable full recovery. We wouldn't be spending Christmas with our spunky little fur baby had it not been for this clinic. I can't say thank you enough! Highly recommend!

Was just in to the clinic on the weekend and was very impressed with the doctor and service. My dog got in to a box of chocolates that was wrapped under the tree. They talked me through my choices and in the end I decided to have him vomit up the chocolate and wrappers just in case, and then they gave him drugs to settle his stomach. Even after all that he left wagging his tail. I hope I don't have another emergency but I would use them again.

I called the Hospital very late on a holiday. The nurse that answered the phone took my information on my dog. He gave me some critical information in a calm manner which kept me calm. (I appreciated it)He told me how to get my very large dog into my car, gave me directions to the Hospital not being from the area. When I arrived they were waiting and ready.They brought my dog to the back part of the hospital. I was impressed how clean it was and how friendly the staff was.They had all the medical equipment ready for him. They checked his vitals gave me some information on what they thoughts was going on and what they needed to do. They asked if they could give him some medications to make him more comfortable while we all decided how we wished to proceed next. They took my information and proceeded right away to give him medication to make him comfortable first which I appreciated. We talked about his previous medical history. Unfortunately it was extremely serious and life threatening. Even though I was extremely upset and was not thinking cleanly the staff brought me into a room. I sat on the floor and the Dr sat right down beside me on the floor, She explained what needed to be done and the risks involved.I was given an estimate of the surgery. The Dr was extremely understanding that I was upset. We decided to proceed with the surgery which I was not sure if my dog was going to make it out of as he was older. I am so so glad I trusted my instinct and trusted my gutt. My boy walked out wagging his tail a few days later. The staff at this hospital really care they always kept us updated on his health ,good and bad. They let us visit and gave us a "tuck in call" they called it, at nightThese people are truly amazing I just wish they were 24hrs I would drive up for all his care. Please think about this clinic for your pets emergency care.

I had to take my cat in to the emergency clinic on a Sunday when he hurt his leg jumping off of a shelf. I called my regular clinic first but they were closed, and then I found this one online. They were friendly when I called and were very up front about the cost of the visit. A nurse saw him right away when we got there to make sure he was ok, and once the vet looked at him they gave me a detailed price break down of what my options were. I liked that they didn't make me feel like I had to do everything - because my finances were tight - but they recommended what would be ideal and then worked within my budget. We did xrays and luckily his leg wasn't broken he just needed pain medications. The vet showed me the xrays and made sure I understood what was going on, gave me a copy on a CD, and was very patient and attentive even though they had other emergencies coming in at the same time. The next day my regular vet called me to check on him because the emergency clinic had sent them all of the records - which I thought was great.I would definitely recommend this clinic - they were professional and really seemed to care about my cat - unlike some other clinics I had been to in the past. Worth the little bit of extra cost.

We rushed our little Tiggers down from north of Parrysound on Friday evening as he was not well. He started out just fine in the morning but by afternoon he was clearly in distress. Nobody in Parrysound could take him and Huronia Clinic said bring him right away. They kept in contact constantly and though we were hoping they could save him they had to put him down. If they could have saved him any amount of money wouldn't have changed our mind. He was a siamese and not quite 6 years old. Dr. Boucher was very kind and sympathetic as was the vet technician "Carly". Even the receptionist on Friday night was kind and understanding. Thank you so much for all of you who cared. He was mommies baby always on my shoulder and even when I was vacuuming. My heart is still breaking two days later💕💕

Our dog swallowed a sock and had an obstruction. With the vet shortage. No one would help us except Huronia which was over a 2 hour drive for us. If not for them I’m not sure out baby would have made it. They were amazing with her and saved her life. We will be eternally grateful

Kindness, sincerity, patience and diligence are what we experienced with Dr. Tudose, Angela and the staff. When I first called to bring my dog in, I was instructed to instead have an urgent appointment with his vet. He ended up needing treatment through them, but I appreciate that they didnt bring him in until necessary. I was prepared to potentially feel overcharged, but found that they were incredibly considerate in that regard, keeping the treatments and costs to whats necessary. I could tell that they were busy, and dont doubt that thier jobs can be stressful, so how kind, patient and diligent they were was impressive. Thank you so much for exceeding our expectations!

These guys are really wonderful. The front desk staff were kind and responsive (I've never been offered a cup of coffee at any other vet office I've been to, and I've been to more than my fair share), and Dr. Trish Wendell, who treated our dog, Scout, was great. While our dog's ailment turned out to be minor in the grand scheme of veterinary emergency practice (a voracious beagle who may have gotten hold of a piece of a corn cob), Dr. Wendell was thorough in her examination, intelligent in her assessment, and solicitous in her explanation of our treatment options and concern for our worry. One of the things I was most struck by is how carefully they explained the financial considerations at play. They are clearly alert to the realities of pet owners who love their animals, but also may be struggling financially. We've had ample exposure to vets in our dog's eventful history, and our experience at Huronia and with Dr. Wendell definitely ranked with our most positive experiences. I recommend Huronia without reservation.

Animals and emergencies cost money. but that's one just of the responsibilities animals come with. for all of u ppl complaining about the cost, maybe u should have thought more about emergency funds. owning a pet is a privilege, not a right. how much do you think it costs to run a 24/7 emergency hospital? if they did everything for free or low cost, we wouldn't have them. so sick of the keyboard warriors. don't get mad at them because your animal got into something or had an accident. that's all on you. this place is here when you need it and that's the main point.

We had to take our dog in on the weekend. It was really busy but the receptionist was very helpful and reassured us about our dog. Even though we had to wait for about an hour to see the doctor one of the other staff, a nurse i think, took an initial look at Pumpkin and checked her heart and temperature so that we knew she was ok to wait. Turned out that she'd eaten some pot from the dog park and needed to be in the hospital getting it flushed out of her system. We were nervous about leaving her overnight but the doctor sent us a picture of her looking comfortable in her kennel and that made us feel better. Thought it was a nice touch considering how busy they were. Didn't seem much more expensive than the time I had to leave her at our regular vet. Glad they were there!

Its a shame that the service at this place is more about Financial gain then care for are Loved ones, anyway we have had two very bad visits with the same dog at this location, one several years ago and very recently was the clincher. We brought are 14 year old Lab in with a 3in cut to the inside back leg, to make a very long story short when we took her to are vet we were horrified to find out that she was not stitched and now had a six inch cut wide open and bleeding very badly. it saddens me greatly in this day and age this could happen, are we advancing as a human race only in Technology you do the math Beware

We had a terrifying and stressful emergency with our precious kitty, and the folks at Huronia were so wonderful! They stayed calm, cool and collected while I was freaking out, explained everything to me (and patiently re-explained when I needed them to repeat things) in lay terms, and walked me through all treatment options (including prices) before asking my consent. The staff did everything they could to comfort both me and my cat in such a stressful time. Yes, they are a little pricey- but this isn't your average vet clinic. Also, it was appreciated that they are up-front with their prices before you have to commit to any treatment, and I never felt pushed- the vet was excellent at trying to help me decide what was necessary given the situation, giving what I felt was very objective medical advice. For quality & compassionate veterinary care at 9pm on a Sunday night, there is no better place for your beloved pet than at Huronia!

Brought my puppy in when she swallowed a sock. The receptionist asked me to fill out paper work but seeing my hands were full with my 2 kids and my puppy, she took my pup right away to induce vomiting of the sock. I was told over the phone it was $145 just to see the vet. (Ouch) another $50 to induce vomiting and another $50 to stop the vomiting, which I wasn't told about but they gave it without asking. So almost $300 later.... I know my vet charges $150 for this so it's pretty crazy it was almost double the price. In any case my pup is ok so I am happy about that. The office and area is clean and the staff was nice in my experience.

I cannot say enough positive things about this clinic. They took excellent care of our beloved Nala. I will always be grateful for the phone call at 2:00 am to let me know she made it through surgery. Yes, the cost is higher compared to our regular vet; which is justified as this is an emergency clinic with a Dr. on site at all times. Additionally, the Dr’s are managing multiple sick patients, and performing emergency surgeries.
I am an ICU nurse, and I was very impressed with how this clinic operates. The person at the front desk is triaging animals at the same time as managing all the clients and paperwork. It is an extremely busy place but they always identify the critical animals and take them in immediately.
People need to consider that this is literally an emergency room (without the Ohip funding) that operates 24 hours each day and we should not expect it to be the same as a regular veterinary practice.
Love all the staff and I am grateful for the work you guys do.

This review is based on my first impression on the phone and price tag.
My dog was followed up by Toronto VEC and needs a baseline bloodwork done when we are in Barrie.
I phoned first and see if this is possible. The lady who answered my call on March 29 said it is totally fine. When I called back on March 30, a different lady told me they are a 24 hours emergency hospital. I told her that I have phoned and she asked me whom did I talk to. I said it was a lady who worked the night before. She said “sure sure it’s a lady. We have many ladies here.” I told her that she doesn’t need to talk like that, and why does she needs to make me feel stupid. She said she didn’t and she said that she doesn’t know whom I talked to. I said she can just say that. She checked and talked to the doctor. She contacted and to got records from Toronto VEC for me dog. She was friendly when we arrived.
I only wanted a bloodwork. We were explained that although we don’t need a consultation, we need to pay for a re-check fee. I was fine with it. However, they told me a bloodwork baseline will cost $278 while the same thing at Toronto VEC costs $168. I said the pricing difference is crazy. I showed her the balance from Toronto VEC. Vet explained that this is their pricing and there is nothing they can do about it. She also explained they use a different machine.
At the end I opted to do only liver testing and not bloodcell testing as my dog was doing fine. We spent $210.97 which includes the vet fee for $67.1.
Staff are friendly there but I can’t believe for the same test, you need to pay $110 more than a big hospital in Toronto. Is it because you generally pay more in Barrie?
Was planning to do two testing in Barrie but based on this, we rather just head back to Toronto.

I only give one star because I can not go lower. These people are pirates. We brought our cat in on the weekend as he was seriously depleted and sick. They assessed him and did bloodwork and diagnosed him with FIP. For any who don't know, FIB is terminal, no cure, no treatment, nothing. So does the vet do the ethical and humane thing and advise euthanasia? No....they see my emotional wife and advise to prolong the suffering by keeping him overnight so they can give him antibiotics and an IV. $700.00 later, my cat is returned to us with a bandage and no other signs of any treatment. Again, the ethical and humane treatment of euthanasia is not advised, rather that they would like to do an xray to confirm what was originally diagnosed, hoping to further line their pockets by suggesting pointless treatments, taking advantage of emotionally charged clients, and a patient who can't complain, and is not well enough protected by law. These people should be charged with cruelty to animals for prolonging the suffering of a dying animal so they can make a buck. If this had been a human, in a hospital, they would have told us to call the family, not tried to sell us additional goods and services. Shameful.

These people are crooks. Had a doctor there point to an X-Ray and tell me that there "very well" possibly is something inside my dogs stomach. $1,000 later I bring my dog home. Had that X Ray emailed to my regular vet who said he SEEN NOTHING! Avoid unless it's something simple and you know what you are paying for.

Thank you so much to everyone who was working last night and gave us such compassionate care as we said goodbye to our beloved dog, Cash. It was our first visit to the clinic, and we knew we weren't going to leave with good news. We were taken in quickly, and given a fast diagnosis that broke our hearts but helped us make the decision to end Cash's suffering from an aggressive cancer. Not only did they give us lots of time and space to decide and say goodbye to our little guy, but they also held the room for an hour while we waited for his previous owner to drive in so he could say goodbye. There was never any pressure, and the vet we had was so gentle and compassionate. Thank you for helping us through a terrible night and for easing Cash's passing.

It was so awful!!! I waited an hour and a half to see the vet. She was so rude and inconsiderate. She belittled me and was arrogent.
She gave me several quotes for my dog who was ill. All the quotes she gave me were over 700 dollars. I was so upset because she was so vague at explaining what "could be wrong with my dog". I ended up leaving because The price for guessing what was wrong with my dog Was way to expensive. I still had to pay $150 for my dogs visit and the vet did Nothing. The appointment was 5 min long. Just a money grab. I was so Bothered by this. I called my other vet and went in to see them in the morning. My dog was seen right away and the appointment, treatment and medication cost me $200. Not only is this vet gouging people the seriously lack Customer service skills too. stay away!!!!!!!!!!! Don't waste your time or money

We brought our little kitten, Willow, in after only having her in our care for 2 days and she was in dire condition. It didn't look promising and we were a mess. The team at the clinic took her in right away and set her up with what ever care they could. Over the next 3 days she stayed at the clinic and they provided her with non stop care. They were so compassionate and really helped us make the best decisions at a time when we were not very clear minded. They answered all of our questions - even when we were calling at all hours of the night for up dates. It has been one month since then and our kitten has made a remarkable full recovery. We wouldn't be spending Christmas with our spunky little fur baby had it not been for this clinic. I can't say thank you enough! Highly recommend!

Was just in to the clinic on the weekend and was very impressed with the doctor and service. My dog got in to a box of chocolates that was wrapped under the tree. They talked me through my choices and in the end I decided to have him vomit up the chocolate and wrappers just in case, and then they gave him drugs to settle his stomach. Even after all that he left wagging his tail. I hope I don't have another emergency but I would use them again.

I called the Hospital very late on a holiday. The nurse that answered the phone took my information on my dog. He gave me some critical information in a calm manner which kept me calm. (I appreciated it)He told me how to get my very large dog into my car, gave me directions to the Hospital not being from the area. When I arrived they were waiting and ready.They brought my dog to the back part of the hospital. I was impressed how clean it was and how friendly the staff was.They had all the medical equipment ready for him. They checked his vitals gave me some information on what they thoughts was going on and what they needed to do. They asked if they could give him some medications to make him more comfortable while we all decided how we wished to proceed next. They took my information and proceeded right away to give him medication to make him comfortable first which I appreciated. We talked about his previous medical history. Unfortunately it was extremely serious and life threatening. Even though I was extremely upset and was not thinking cleanly the staff brought me into a room. I sat on the floor and the Dr sat right down beside me on the floor, She explained what needed to be done and the risks involved.I was given an estimate of the surgery. The Dr was extremely understanding that I was upset. We decided to proceed with the surgery which I was not sure if my dog was going to make it out of as he was older. I am so so glad I trusted my instinct and trusted my gutt. My boy walked out wagging his tail a few days later. The staff at this hospital really care they always kept us updated on his health ,good and bad. They let us visit and gave us a "tuck in call" they called it, at nightThese people are truly amazing I just wish they were 24hrs I would drive up for all his care. Please think about this clinic for your pets emergency care.

I had to take my cat in to the emergency clinic on a Sunday when he hurt his leg jumping off of a shelf. I called my regular clinic first but they were closed, and then I found this one online. They were friendly when I called and were very up front about the cost of the visit. A nurse saw him right away when we got there to make sure he was ok, and once the vet looked at him they gave me a detailed price break down of what my options were. I liked that they didn't make me feel like I had to do everything - because my finances were tight - but they recommended what would be ideal and then worked within my budget. We did xrays and luckily his leg wasn't broken he just needed pain medications. The vet showed me the xrays and made sure I understood what was going on, gave me a copy on a CD, and was very patient and attentive even though they had other emergencies coming in at the same time. The next day my regular vet called me to check on him because the emergency clinic had sent them all of the records - which I thought was great.I would definitely recommend this clinic - they were professional and really seemed to care about my cat - unlike some other clinics I had been to in the past. Worth the little bit of extra cost.
