A great place to have your pet taken care of when it is sick. Doctors and staff are great and explain in detail what you need to do in order to keep your pet healthy. Sorry I took so long to leave a review for my Mom. This was almost two months ago. See you soon. Read Less

They handled my cats whole life pretty much, from when he was neutered to today when we sadly had to put him down. Their handling of the matter was graceful and very professional, guiding us gently through the process. Overall for such a sad day I remain extremely impressed with the people at the beaches animal hospital. Thank you for all you've done for Leo. Read Less

The staff at the hospital were amazing, kind and compassionate and were more than accommodating when I had to bring in my pet rabbit for emergency visits and eventual euthanasia. I cannot thank Dr. Dilworth enough for all he has done to make my pet and I feel at home and cared for though just for a short period of time. Read Less

We had to rush our 11 month old puppy to Beaches Animal Hospital at 7:30 on a Sunday night! The staff and doctor were so wonderful and I felt so much better once we arrived. Thank you so much for taking care of our pup so quickly! Read Less

Great vet clinic. Staff is caring and really look after your pet like it's their own. Always busy with people coming from all over to see the vets here and yet you always feel like they have time for you and your animals Read Less

We were referred to Beaches Animal Hospital our previous vet of 15+ years when we moved to The Beach neighbourhood three years ago. Our three cats have consistently received exceptional care from all the veterinarians. The support staff are caring, friendly, knowledgeable and very efficient. We have recommended this clinic to others and they have been equally satisfied. Read Less

When I had to have my older cat euthanized, a year ago the staff were very understanding and made a donation to Guelph Veterinary in memory of my cat. Tonight I had to bring my younger cat in for an emergency. He was seen and treated promptly. Staff very professional and compassionate. Would highly recommend. Read Less

This is home of Dr Dilworth the magician that kept my dog alive in front of the greatest man I've ever met he's awesome anyways hi Dr Dilworth it's dougmacdonald calling out my dog Mimi she's passed out when I got to see you some funds that I owe you so call me at 647-802-9213 Read Less

I took my suddenly ill adult cat to the BAH and they were really great. My cat hates strangers touching her and vets in particular, so they had to take special care of her. As it turned out, after several days straying there on an IV and having a battery of tests, they could not save her and we had to put her down. The staff and vets are very compassionate and patient. I visited twice a day for 4 days and called lots as well. Every time, they took time to talk with me, smile and show genuine interest in my feelings and her wellbeing. They seem to love their jobs there which helps everyone feel more at ease.  She got all the care possible and I am grateful for their bedside manner and wonderful attitudes. Dr Koszti was especially nice, explained every step and helped us stay positive but was also realistic. They let me spend some quality time with my cat and let me fall apart when it was time to put her down. The other vet on duty at that time kept saying how sorry he was, and talked in soft tones to help us stay calm. They also did not nickel and dime us on everything. I would  have given them 5 stars, but since we had to euthanize our fur baby in the end , I had to give 4 stars. If you have a new pet, or an emergency situation, take your pet here Read Less

I'd travel across the city just to bring my little darlings here (even though they don't like traveling) for the simple reason that the staff are friendly and dedicated animal lovers who obviously enjoy what they do. A dear friend recommended me to this place, and she's been to many others, and swears by Beaches Animal Hospital. The vets and technicians take the time to explain to you what they intend to do, the course of treatment and make helpful suggestions and advice in a way that you don't feel like they're trying to make money. They way they handle my (and other) animals shows how much they really care about our furry little friends. One of my kids had to stay at the hospital one night, and even at 10pm, I spoke to a technician who assured me the cat was fine and explained what his condition has, which was very comforting. They are also helpful in getting insurance claims signed and processed, and have even done so on my behalf. Really great hospital, with great people and service! Read Less

I love this vet clinic. My boyfriend and I live in different areas and co-own animals but we bring our cat and dogs to this clinic. We have met most of the vets and feel they are compassionate and competent. They are open until 10 pm every day. Because of the long hours we have used them during emergencies as well. More recently our dog was bitten by another dog. No stitches,  just antibiotics and pain medications. He has already mended. Woof! Read Less

One of the many things I love about the Beaches Animal Hospital is the hours! Great to know I can come in after work or later at night. My cat Wyatt (aka Mr. May in this year's calendar) had an eye infection last spring and I was able to get an apt that day. Important for him as he has only one eye. Beaches was his rescue vet and they have been fantastic to him and me since I adopted him. My regular vet for my other animals is close to where I live but I go out of my way to bring Wyatt to Beaches because they know him and they treat him with care and compassion. I would gladly switch my other animals to Beaches as well. Read Less

Beaches Animal Hospital has very friendly reception, who are also accommodating and caring. The vet techs listen well and give very clear instructions. Dr Joanna Coote is great! She is very easy to communicate with, I never feel rushed, and she she really seems to care.I would give that team 5 stars! The only reason why my rating is reduced is due entirely to Dr Dilworth. I should clarify that I have exotics; rabbits and rats. These are not his specialty, so I don't understand why he decided to see me. I went in after my rabbit had a seizure. The staff were very quick to respond and got me in for an emergency appointment. Dr Dilworth spent the first 15 minutes talking about his disdain for any "natural medicine", especially glucosamine. He didn't ask me any questions or even take my rabbit out of her carrier. As you can imagine, this was excruciating for me. I asked several times if this was related to my rabbit's condition, and he said it was not. I said I understood his opinion and could he please look at her, he ignored me and continued to talk. It wasn't until I excused myself and brought my husband in to speak with him that he paid her any attention. (My husband immediately asked if this was related to her and stated he wanted to know about our rabbit, not his opinions)While it may not be the case, repeatedly not listening to me, a woman, and then immediately listening to my husband read as sexist. This behaviour added to my anxiety and frustration, and I felt trapped. My pet needed help. He also went on to tell me, proudly, that he has given this anti-natural medicine spiel many times; most recently to a woman about her dog. He bragged "...I told her, you're the one who cares about your dog. At the end of the day I go home and I don't even think about it." So he has now told me in action, and in words that he and his opinions are his top priority, not the pets. Awesome. He also picked my rabbit up by her shoulders. Anyone who knows rabbits would never do that. To sum up, staff=great!, Dr Coote= great!, Dr Dilworth= pompous mansplainer. Don't bring him your exotics, don't see him if you're female. Read Less

Dr. Mark Dilworth is reason enough to give Beaches Animal Hospital a 5 star rating. But even aside from his warmth and genuine concern for our animals (and their owners), the clinic itself has a wonderful staff, great hours of operation and very competitive rates. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend! Read Less

Beaches Animal Hospital staff are amazing , They truly go way beyond the call of duty .I have always felt that the Beaches Animal Hospital fully understand the very important role my pets play in my life , therefore understanding the direct impact my pets play in the Quality of my very own life as a long term Cancer+A.I.D.S survivor . My Home is truly Blessed for the help we have received from The Beaches Animal Hospital. Read Less

I am a foster for a rescue and I am glad that our rescue made us bring our foster here and discovered Beaches Animal Hospital. Been going here for about a year now. And we go often like almost every 2 months. Their price is comparable to other vets in the area, from what I gather with just phone calls. They have really good vets, but I would like to give an extra thumbs up to Dr. Beck. You can feel the sincerity and passion to get your pet well. There were a few times we had to wait, but trust me, it's not as bad as waiting in the hospital for people. But being one who had to crash someone's appointment due to an emergency, we've learned to give way and be understanding, when others had to go first for their own emergency. Read Less

I have worked as a vet assistant, worked with horses professionally and also been a pet owner for over 50 years in many different cities. I have never found a vet service as good as Beaches. I have been going to Beaches for the past 8 years. The caring, empathy, thoroughness is unbeatable. They really care and it shows. Excellent service. I couldn't recommend them any higher. I have had both dogs and cats looked after and also boarded there and they have just been terrific. Read Less

The team here are awesome. I can't say enough about the service and staff. The hours are amazing, and they really care. They've never been pushy about anything, they give you the facts straight and are accommodating those with limited budget. They don't run any unnecessary tests, and are upfront about costs and expectations. I'll still be coming here if I move out of the area. Read Less

They have proved to me their passion and commitment to animals yesterday. While I was driving home a car struck a cat. The driver did not stop and I felt so disappointed and angry to see that nobody showed interest in checking the poor creature. I did an u turn to get her out of the road. She was badly injured, according to what I noticed, and in a state of shock. I called animal protection but they said ETA was two hours. It was heartbreaking to watch her struggle. She was bleeding, shaking and confused. I decided to call Beaches Animal Hospital to get their advice and they asked me to drop her off their clinic. I left her thinking she was going to die. Called later at night and to my surprised they were able to stabilize her and said she was comfy resting. Thank you so much for helping that furry beautiful kitty! Read Less

What can be said about this amazing place! We now live in Uxbridge with our bulldog Lizzy and our kitty Shmoo. It's an hour and a bit one way but so worth the time. Dr Mark is the kindest compassionate and most knowledgeable vet I've ever encountered - Dr Doolittle I swear!! Recently our oldest cat Franky was in her last days. We received the most uncaring support from a local Uxbridge vet. I called Mark in tears. He set aside time to be there so we could let Franky go. After this ordeal the Beaches Hospital sent a donation on Franky's behalf to Guelph. Once again I'm in tears. Now I'm crying for the kindness I experienced. Lizzy is nearly 8 and I couldn't trust her with anyone else. I LOVE BEACHES ANIMAL HOSPITAL and I adore our marvellous vet - Dr. Mark Dilworth. I really love Barb as well. You all rock!!!! Read Less

So, I have used beaches animal hospital since adopting my dog earlier this year. They were originally recommended by a separate rescue, and I must say, I am rather happy with their services so far. Though, I will admit that their prices are slightly higher than average, It is well worth it in my opinion. Today, my dog and I were hit by a car. Immediately, I made sure to bring my dog in. Though she was happy go lucky and jumping around, I wanted to ensure she was okay. Rather than putting her through a gauntlet of tests an x-rays, they took a look at her joints and back to ensure she was not in pain an gave her an ultrasound to check her bladder. When she tested okay, the vet gave us instructions to ensure that she was okay for the next couple of weeks and gave us contacts in the case that she developed issues in the mean time. All in all, we were charged the same price as for a regular visit. I'm really greatful that they were able to be there for us today. Now, time to get myself taken care of Read Less

We went to Beaches Animal Hospital for the first time (instead of our usual vet) 6 weeks ago when our dog was really ill.  It turned out the dog was much more ill than we had suspected, and the kindest thing would be to put the dog down.  Dr. Kozsti was wonderfully kind and patient with us at our difficult time.  This will be our regular vet clinic from now on.

After working in the veterinary field for almost nine years I left and was in search of a new vet to now take my own pets. I remember meeting Mark around ten years ago when working at another clinic and thinking this doctor is one in a million. Honestly I can't say enough about not only Mark but also Beaches Animal Clinic. The staff are just as amazing, each one loves being in the field and does everything they can to make sure your pet is treated with the utmost care. The additional veterinarians working at this clinic are also top notch. The passion that I see with this fantastic team takes my breath away and makes me truly miss being "in the biz". Thank you so much guys for the great job you ALL do! Read Less

We have been a customer of theirs for over a decade.The staff here are great.  In particular, I would like to shout out for Dr. Dilworth.He's great -- my dogs always respond well to him and don't even put up a fuss for shots etc.  He has a great way about him that animals respond to and he is always very good with their owners too.  Thanks Dr. Dilworth for your years of great care and service.I use both the health and boarding services here.Both are great and I would recommend to anyone.Hours are great too -- 8am to 10pm daily except stat holidays.

My dog is chronically ill, and I've even had some vets turn him down because of his litany of problems. If he does get seen, it's usually an arm and a leg for the visit, plus the cost of his medication. As any pet owner knows, animals are not cheap, however, the staff at the Beaches Animal Hospital, Dr. Dilworth in particular, has done a great job with keeping these costs down while providing outstanding care.He takes time out to return calls, review the pet history, and offer his advice, which has been pretty accurate. He also is a genuine dog lover, and has taken in a few on his own, which is comforting news because of all the horror stories I've heard about vets just doing it for the money.He doesn't impose unnecessary vaccines, and has never refused to refill my dog's prescription due to not completing blood work. As I mentioned, my dog is chronically ill, and with two dogs and monthly medication fees I don't have all the money in the world to run a test that gives me the same news. With that said, I have had a vet refuse to refill his meds because I didn't have the money for the blood test. I pulled my dogs out of this clinic instantly and went with a friend's referral to the Beaches Animal Hospital.Thankfully, I think I found my vet for life! I recommend this hospital to anyone that's a pet lover. Read Less

We have been taking our bulldog Lola here for about a year now, and even though we live in Mississauga and the commute can be over an hour to get here, it is completely worth the awful drive. We had gone to a few other vets and nobody seemed to be able to (or care to) address some of the reoccurring problems Lola had until we met Dr. Dilworth. He truly is an amazing vet who absolutely loves what he does, and goes out of his way to research things and try different options to resolve problems. In all the years we have had dogs, I have never met a vet that I have been so happy with. Their prices are extremely reasonable - thruthfully I would pay any price to keep Lola safe and healthy but really do feel that they go the extra mile here and truly do care about your pet. We often take their latest appointment, which is usually 9/10pm and is amazing that they are open that late, and they never rush us or any other customers out if the appointment is behind, which I have experienced at other places in the past.I would not trust any dog of ours with anyone else.

In May 2012 I decided to take my cat for an annual check up. The Beaches Animal Hospital seemed like the best option since I live nearby and don't have a car or even drive. My cat was examined by Dr. Dilworth and after a à couple of visits we knew that something was wrong. In the months that followed, I revisited the clinic endless times and each and every one of these visits was nothing short of outstanding. Dr. Dilworth is phenomenal and all of the staff that helped me throughout the past year were fantastic. Unfortunately my cat eventually passed away due to her several different health problems but I'm forever thankful for all the compassion, love and care showed by Dr Dilworth and all of the staff. Please don't let the bad reviews steer you away from the clinic. Give it time, get to know the staff and above all; keep your expectations in check and you'll soon discover how wonderful this place truly is. Read Less

I have been to a number of clnics in the east end since moving to the area 4 years ago. The standard of care and compassion that I have found at Beaches won me over at my first visit. I have been with them ever since and really enjoy the relationship and rapport I have built with them. It's evident that this is much more than a "business" for them. I am also involved in rescue work and I experience how much they care for animals in their work to support rescues. I have seen them go above and beyond time and time again to ensure the health of their patients and I have every confidence when I place the health of my personal pets in their hands. I very much feel they set the standard for vet practices in the city! Read Less

I don't understand the bad reviews on this business as I have been taking my animals here for over 6 years and have only received great service and the best care for my animals.I have used a lot of vets in the city and Dr. Dilworth stands out as one of the best. They are not the cheapest vet in town, for sure. But I don't want cheap when it comes to my animals - I want someone who will take the time to educate me on my options. And to give Dr. Dilworth credit, he always provides alternatives that are less expensive when a major procedure has been required for one of my animals.My dogs and my cats are part of my family and I continue to visit Dr. Dilworth and recommend him highly.

I have entrusted the care of my animals to the staff at Beaches Animal hospital for over 10 years. They have helped us through many events, some with happy results and some terribly sad. We have always had 100% confidence and trust that they getting the best veterinary care and attention available.Although as mentioned in other posts the costs are on the high side, I would rather pay a higher price and feel certain I am doing the best for my pet, who after all is a member of my family.The vets make sure you understand clearly what the problem may be, and what options are available to you without talking over your head or making assumptions.The fact that they are open 7 days a week and until 10pm is an additional bonus!Thanks to everyone Read Less

Being a Sunday, with our usual vet closed we were once forced to deal with the Beaches Animal Hospital for an emergency.  Despite being told that time could be of the essence it took the vet  several hours to return my call.  After following up twice during the day I finally received a call later that night when it was already too late to bring the sick cat in.Funny thing is, the vet reiterated what I was told earlier that I needed to bring the cat in asap...except it was now too late to do so (they were closing for the night)He had given me one option: Surgery.  I had read that vets will always do x-rays first to see if its necessary .  Instead he told me they were pointless and suggested I go the very expensive route of cutting my cat open.  With the procedure itself causing irreversible damage (but better than taking the chance of my cat dying he says).Unable to do anything until morning I had no reason why I couldn't just take the cat to the regular vet.  My vet opted to do the x-rays first and easily determined that surgery would have been completely unnecessary.     Things I had read had suggested that more likely than not, the cat would be fine.  My vet ended up saying the same thing.  That surgery wouldn't likely be necessary.  Yet the vet at the Beaches Animal Hospital very clearly stated it would be the only option.It's one thing to suggest an expensive procedure and have the only harm done be to my wallet and not the animal, but when the unnecessary procedure would cause permanent damage that would take years off my cat's life, what on earth is the vet thinking?

Dr. Dillworth and the staff have been terrific with our Doberman pup. I think Dr. D. has a special affinity for large breed dogs since he has a huge Rottie Mix. They're not cheap, but the facility is very nice and their caring attitude works for us! Read Less

Very helpful clinic: clean location, knowledgeable and attentive veterinarians.  They get a ton of business from the area, so the waits can be a bit long - definitely call in advance if you can to make a time.  Prices feel high, though I have not done a lot of comparison shopping. Read Less

My dog was brought here by our dog walker when he got hit by a car.  They were super nice and caring, and did everything they should have for my dog.  They are really sweet staff, my only issue is that it's pretty darn expensive.  We probably won't go back due to price, but if it wasn't for that we totally would.
