A little bothered that I called in advance to get a quote and I was told $95 to $110 estimate. Once I was there, I felt like they just kept adding things and my bill ending up coming out to almost $450 for both my dogs and their standard shots. I compared prices with people that have the siblings of my dogs from the same litter and they paid WAY less for exactly the same. It's not necessarily about the money because I know dogs can be expensive, but if you state that I'm paying a certain amount and then I get a huge surprise once I'm done...that's where I'm bothered. The vet also didn't seem sincere and it's really hard to understand him. I'll be going elsewhere, this place personally just didn't work out for me. Read Less

I brought my 1yo Bengal cat here for a nail trim and general check-up. The staff were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. It took 3 staff members to cut my ferocious kitty's claws, but they did so calmly and with great professionalism. At no point during my visit did I feel pressured to purchase additional tests or procedures. I am looking forward to their continued service for the duration of my cat's life. 10/10 would reccomend.

I love this clinic, the staff are amazing, they are very prompt with the appointments and they make sure you understand every part of the procedures your dog may need. Dr. Torabi has been very helpful diagnosing the issues our dog had, he was very precise and explained everything to us, our dog had to undergo a complicated surgery outside the clinic and he and the staff made sure the hospital has all the updated test results and files. they did a lot of follow ups after that to make sure our dog was doing ok. I do not hesitate to recommend this clinic to anyone. Read Less

I have been taking my cats to this place for a year, the staff are nice, attentive and confident, We never had any issue. I can't comment on the price, because this is the closest vet to me and I didn't bother to ask around, the fee sounds reasonable to me though and they give you a detailed list so you know what you are paying for. ------- This is an edit to previous comment I have moved from the area and compared to the new vet (Liston) I would say, Britannia Heights is more expensive.

I would highly recommend this clinic , The last time I was there was 13 yrs ago and Dr Murray cared for our Dog at the time who was Amazing! Things have never changed because when I walked in this time I got a very warm feeling. Dr. Alex Torabi , his Assistant and staff were so good to us the day we had to put our stray cat down. I was very impressed how they are so efficient and friendly. When we received the grieving card one week later and looked inside only to see an laminated picture of our cat, plus a poem with his paw print on it meant the world to us, it showed me how much you all cared. Thank you for everything words can not express how great you all are :) Read Less

There have been some negative reviews of the clinic since Dr. Murray retired, but I have been going there for years, and took my dog for help with an allergy flare-up. Dr Torabi was very good, as was the vet tech. The recommended treatment was similar to the treatment Dr. Murray would have recommended. Except that past flare-ups we had to use cortisone to stop the itching, but Dr. Torabi recommended a new medicine, Apoquel. It stopped the itching in 2 hours, without the nasty side-effects of cortisone. So far, I'm happy with things at the clinic. Read Less

Dr. Murray was always great with our pets, and never tried to "up-sell" us with products or services - treatments were only for what was necessary.

I needed to pick up medication for an existing prescription, but they refused to without an appointment. I explained that I already had an appointment with my vet back home and did not need a general checkup. They refused service to me, and the vet refused to even speak to me, because I would not spend 70 unnecessary dollars to get a prescription I already had. Very aggressive staff. Read Less

Really kind staff. Dr. Murray really cares about your pets, and had a great manner. Much more honest than many places in town. I've been here with two pets: one cat, one dog.My recently adopted 8-year-old dog has received great care. Dr. Murray and his staff are very understanding of your pet's unique personality and history. He made sure our dog was healthy and happy. He was very reasonable and sensible about cost, while concerning himself with our pup's welfare. She's doing very well, happy and healthy.My cat who who I'd loved since I was 10 was in her final weeks received excellent care. The staff was very kind, and you could tell they understood what I felt and how important it was to me to make my girl as comfortable and happy as possible. The support for her and for myself was wonderful at a difficult time.A great place to go if you really love your pets. Read Less

He is patient, gentle, and he's never suggested a procedure or treatment that wasn't necessary. There are too many vets in Ottawa who are just out to make money - Dr. Murray isn't one of them.
