I can't say enough about Barb and the staff at Southgate Animal Hospital. Service is excellent - the team is always quick to answer the phone and get answers to questions from the veterinarians, and has fit us in last minute several times. Recently everyone went out of their way to accommodate us when our dog cut his leg very badly and the price at the end was much less than we were expecting. Barb did an amazing job stitching up a difficult wound because our dog has wrinkles on his legs, and two weeks later I can't even see the scar. I don't think our dog has noticed that the stitches are there because they do not pull at all. Barb always seems to know a lot about our dog breed, which is not common in Guelph, and has managed to solve several problems that our old vet was unable to fix and suggesting we get $5000 allergy testing for - including recurring ear infections and seasonal hair loss. Barb is also just genuinely good with dogs. At our post stitches checkup, we also had a really great experience with Dr. Shanna, and all of the vet techs and receptionists have been great too.

I want to review Southgate Animal Hospital. I was so impressed at the compassion and dedication the staff, especially Dr. Barb Deter had with my dog. A year and a half ago, a friend recommended them for my sick dog. Barb was just arriving to work and she helped me bring my dog in and accessed her, didn't judge me and took great care of her. Within two weeks, I had my dog back to a normal state. She didn't charge me for services my dog didn't require and didn't doubt my decision to pursue further care. Unfortunately, recently, I had to put my dog down. Barb was extremely caring and explained everything to us. She came down to us and my dog, she talked to my dog and pet her, and made her as comfortable as she could. Today I received a sympathy card from Southgate Animal Hospital, with a note and hand signed with all the staff's names. My dog was my baby girl and Barb and her staff, showed the care and concern and compassion, anyone would want when dealing with a family member. I would HIGHLY recommend you leaving your pet in their care. Thank you so much Barb Read Less
