Dr. Wenjin Du is the founder and owner of Silver Star Animal Hospital. He started his career as a veterinarian in 1992 back in his homeland, China, for more than 10 years. After immigrating to Canada in 2001, Dr. Du wished to continue in his veterinary career path, but the language barrier was a great obstacle for him.

Dr. Du did a fair amount market research prior to making the decision of opening his own animal hospital in Toronto. His main target in to serve the huge Chinese population since it is the first veterinary clinic that provides full Chinese service. He applied his knowledge of traditional Chinese therapy into the treatments, curing pets with acupuncture and traditional herbs. Dr. Du is a very experienced veterinarian and truly values his patients and clients.

They are money grabbers and scammers. They diagnosed my friend's cat with ringworms and prescribed her very expensive medicine. She realised the medicine was doing nothing for her cat's condition and went to another 5star vet. Turns out the cat has severe case of fleas. It was not ring worm, it was fleas! I hope you burn in hell. Now she has to spent alot of money on cleaning her house in case of a flea out break. Animal cruelty

We could not be happier with this clinic. We have cats and Dr Du and his team have been more than incredible in providing the best in service for our pets. They treat their patients with love and kindness and have reasonable costs. I would recommend this clinic to anyone. Well done!

I have 2 dogs, both the same breed and one of them is treated with love my the owner which is the doctor. And my other one I just go recently and she has to go get her shots. I love the doctors they are very nice and kind and they save my dogs lives. I know my recent dog will love that vet and get use to it and hopefully the doctor I always get to see for my dogs is the owner. He is the best. And also the desk lady is super nice too!

Okay. So this is what my friend's cat got after the treatment (please refer to the cat's bruised eye in the album) - the cat only broke his leg and was there for a fxxxxx simple treatment! The cat was only 4 months old and struggled a bit during the treatment and this is what those doctors did to "CALM" him down!! By pressing into the cat's eyes with their fingers, good on u SILVER STAR! After my friend found out the cat's eyes were a little weird the hospital said to my friend:" If u promise not to put this in public and sign up a "Not Responsible Clause", we ll waive the treatment fee." My friend refused to sign on it so they ended up charging him over $500 as the examination fee!!! What r u? A bunch of killers and robbers??
I swear I will make sure non of my friends and their families ever go to your place!!!

Terrible vet don't even know if he's licensed and where he got his training most likely China. Dirty place, not compassionate with animals and his assistant/receptionist is his elderly mother that doesn't speak English...wtf it's a joke. My dog got spayed there and obviously had an infection, brought her back and he charged money to give her antibiotics when that should have came home with her after the procedure. Don't ever take your animals there, it's a clinic suitable for non English speaking and cheap people.

I am going to bring my dogs back to Silver Star Animal Hospital in the coming days for checkups. Having just read all the reviews about the clinic I'll look to confirm or refute the overly negative comments. I didn't recall it to be dirty one bit but certainly not lavish. I have to say I like him as a vet, his pricing to be fair and his spoken english to be acceptable and his comprehension of the situations to be right on.
I agree with the dreamy woman from Etobicoke, it's worth traveling to that end of the city to visit this veterinarian.

If you indeed hate and want to torture your pet or just want to give some money away for nothing. This is a good place to go.

I have been coming here for years, with both my dogs. We live in Etobicoke and still mission to his clinic because he's the most honest and affordable vet. He won't rip you off at all and you can trust his work. I've been to nearly a dozen different vets and he is certainly the most honest of them all... Definitely recommend. Have no idea what the other comments are about/ they sound fake to me because his space is spotless and fairly new and he's such a decent veterinarian

This place is very very dirty, it shouldn't be called hospital, the doctor only cares about your money, not your pets. Every time I brought my dog in, he recommended to go through all kinds of unnecessary expensive tests. When it really comes to some issues about my dog's health, he had no ideas what should be done. He didn't discuss with me at all when my dog's body weight dropped over 20% in six months. I now found another vet who is so much better, who really cares about your pets, yet less expensive. Actually if I would have brought my dog to the new vet earlier, my dog could be in much better shape. If you want your dog to live longer, do not go to this hospital.

Overly priced and not very caring or helpful. When I changed vets and asked the owner to transfer all of my dog's records to the new vet, he was very upset and kept asking why I am changing vets. There are better vets in Toronto. I changed vets because the doctor did not seem to know much about his profession and had little care about my pet's well-being and health.
