I brought my dog here last week for a cough and paid for an initial exam. She was prescribed antibiotics. I was told to let them know if she doesn't get better. After a week once her pills were completed I called back since she was still coughing. I was told that I should bring her back in for a followup exam. I was expected to pay another fee for this exam. I'm shocked that they would not take ownership of the initial diagnosis. It's unfortunate

I had an appointment with the vet last week for a physical on my 7year old Maltese Poodle at Royal City Animal Hospital. The vet did an eye check and informed us he has cataracts. The vet referred us to a Opthalmolgist for $330.00 dollar bill on top of the other vet bills that day. Hearing this news stressed and saddened us as animal lovers should.
I figured I would get a second opinion and took my dog to Guelph Lake Veterinary Hospital. I thought since my dog is to young to get cataracts. Might be something else like diabetes causing the cataracts if he does have them. The vet (Scott) did the tests required to find out if he has diabetes or cataracts. The results came back negative for both tests. We we're so relieved.
I would highly recommend Royal City Guelph Lake Veterinary Hospital to take your pets for veterinarian problems or concerns.

Dr. Gardiner is an outstanding vet. He has treated a number of our cats and he and the other vets provide exceptional service and support. What is particularly gratifying - the entire team places the animal's welfare and health as the primary concern.
The veterinary team takes the time to explain carefully and fully every aspect of the treatment or examination. I am delighted to have found a veterinary team that is so caring to ensure the health of our furry companions. We will continue to bring all of our cats to the clinic for the exceptional care.

Our dog, Carl, was very ill when we took him in to see Dr. Scott. We had been in before with our other dog as well as carl and Dr.Scott was always very good with them. This time, Carl was very ill and Dr. Scott examined him continuously looking for symptoms so that he could determine what was wrong. He was very calm and approached the issue from all sides and came to a conclusion based on preliminary blood tests etc that indicated Carl may have had Lepso which could permanently damage his kidneys. he put him on an IV with heavy medication and took more blood and urine to confirm his suspicions on Friday. he sent us home with medications to eliminate the problems and asked us to call on Monday to get the results. it was in fact Lepso and if we had not taken him in when we did, carl would have had a poor quality of life or may have died.
Dr. Scott followed up again on Tuesday and gave Carl an appetite supplement to get him eating again as well as checking his blood for signs of improvement. Carl has improved considerable, has an appetite back again and is functioning well thanx to Dr.Scott
He is a great vet with a very kind heart and practical approach to treating our pets. he also took a lot of time to explain what he was doing and why as well as what to expect and really cared for our Carl.
Thank you for saving our little friend

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Scott Gardiner and the staff! We had a difficult year with our chocolate lab, Hershey - she was diagnosed with cancer, Scott did the surgery immediately and the before, during and after care was incredible! Scott spoke with me personally at every stage - pre- and post-op letting me know how things went and what to expect. Within the year Hershey then had to have her cruciate repaired, and again Scott was wonderful. Sadly, Hershey's cancer returned with a vengeance but we were truly blessed to have more than a year with her prior to that. Hershey was always very comfortable in the care of Scott and his staff, as were we and continue to be with our other dog.
