We had our puppy Koda spayed on Friday March 12th, on Sunday March 14th we noticed that koda had developed an infection in her incisions, Gagemount was closed and we were referred to the Mohawk animal clinic. We contacted mohawk and advised them of the situation they asked us to send over pictures by email in which we did immediately, it took them 5 hours to get back to us even though we called twice within that 5 hours to find out what we should do for Koda. They were not much help and we didn't get anywhere with them so we decided to wait until Gagemount opened on Monday. My husband contacted Gagemount first thing in the morning and explained the urgency of the situation he was advised that they had absolutely no availability to see koda and the earliest they could see her was 3:30 on Tuesday. I will not mention any names of who my husband spoke with but he was very unhappy and made to feel like it was our fault for her infection. I happen to still be at work and when I found this out I was very upset and contacted Gagemount immediately. I spoke with a young lady by the name of kellyanne who took my concerns and my frustrations seriously and immediately spoke to the vet. We were advised that we could bring Koda in at 4:30 that day. When my husband arrived they took koda right in and gave her a full examination and confirmed that the incision was infected and that she would need a round of antibiotics. The vet was professional , and courteous and assured us that Koda would be fine, they did not charge us for the visit. They gave us an outline of what we should do for Koda at home to keep her healthy and safe. This situation could have easily gone in a different direction, but Gagemount stood behind their work and gave koda excellent patient care.
Thank you Gagemount , five stars..

Brought my dog, Sadie, here as our usual vet was booked, Sadie and I were both nervous as we've only ever visited one vet outside our regular vet and it was not a good experience.
There was nothing to worry about, they treated Sadie with love and respect and had her feeling 100 times better before we even left the clinic.
Very proffesional and helpful and such a personal experience, we got in right before they were closing, right before a long weekend and I'm so grateful.
Honestly thinking of switching to this vet as our home vet 😊 10/10 stars!

So happy that we switched to Gagemount & just in the nick of time too! 6 months after the switch both of our dogs needed care, it was very reassuring to know that we had this team with us every step of the way and it was clear they only had the best interests of our dogs in mind. (Unlike many other vets who we've had push unnecessary treatments & procedures just to hit a sales target.) Cannot recommend enough :)

I have had 3 dogs over the course of my life, all were clients of Gagemount. I cannot say enough about everyone there. Over the yrs their level of care has risen & exceeded any other animal hospital near or far. My golden retriever was not just an occasional visitor, due to health reasons he required regular frequent visits, so I got to know everyone there very well. Right from the moment u walk in, you r greeted by Claire and Lindsay who are r so very knowledgeable - due to my high maintenance boy I sometimes would call in a panic with a simple health question. Lindsay or Claire would often know what to do to ease my mind. If they didnt they would immediately check with Dr Keir and get back to me. All the vet technicians are equally learned. Highly knowledgeable, wonderful to deal with, always gentle and loving. And then there is Dr Keir. This is a man who is truly "in it for the love of the animals". He is beyond compassionate, gentle and loving. Near the end of my golden's life (15+ yrs), there was an option to do an invasive surgery. While other vets would have jumped @ the chance to make $$$ and put my boy thru the ordeal, Dr Keir put the interest of my beloved first. I have seen 1st hand - this is not a place that will nickel and dime you - yet the level of care by far exceeds top notch. Over the yrs there were many instances where Dr Keir opted for my boys best interest instead of going after the all mighty dollar. He is on top of the newest forms of care, always quickly & correctly diagnosing problems, and will never do anything that is not the best for your pet. There is most definitely a reason why Dr Keir is voted best vet in Hamilton every yr. Everyone @ Gagemount treats your pet as if it were there own, they respect it, only want what's truly best for it, just like they were part of their own family. They r all the ultimate professionals who deliver the highest level of care, while doing so with compassion, empathy and love - they r all in it "for the right reasons". Everyone at Gagemount is conscientious & on top of your pet's health. I have referred people to Gagemount and all are equally impressed & happy. To say i am happy with Gagemount is an understatement. I can never thank them, and especially Dr Keir, enough for all they have done for my babies over the years - they r all truly fantastic. If you love your pet and want nothing but the best care for it, Gagemount is the only place you should ever go - I would never go anywhere else.

This is an excellent veterinary clinic, friendly and knowledgeable staff who are always willing to make time for emergencies. Great place if you are a Rabbit or other "exotic" pet owner like myself, the staff here are more than capable with animals other than dogs and cats. Prices are perfectly acceptable.

I recently started taking my pets to Gagemount Animal Hospital, and I think Dr. Keir and his staff are the best! They treat me and my dog and cat like family. I was unhappy with my former animal hospital, because I never got the same vet, and I was skeptical about some of the recommended treatments. Dr. Keir spends lots of time with me, explaining what he thinks is wrong and my options. Also, you can tell he loves animals, as he gets down to welcome them, petting them and talking to them. You would think this would be true of all vets, but I can assure you it isnt. The staff at Gagemount are also super friendly and knowledgeable. I am really happy with my decision to change to them.

Dr. Keir has been my vet for my last 3 dogs and has been nothing less then amazing! When getting unsettling news about my new puppy he was very kind and quickly gave me options on what could be done to help ease my worry. He took the time to sit down with me and explain the diagnosis, as well as gave me reliable websites to look at if I wanted to do more research! I have always valued his opinion and he has never steered me wrong by giving the best care to my furry family members.
