They were really helpful, from receptionist to doctor. They gave me an additional 10 min to my appointment as a curtesy since it was our first visit. Dr. Meghan took care of my dog, she was patient with me, explained every thing and how to manage my dog. The receptionist and technician helping dr. Meghan were amazing as well, super kind and sweet with my dog. I explained to dr. Meghan that I was on a tight budget and she helped me fit everything my dog needed within my means. Again I would highly recommend them. Read Less

It takes a hell of a lot to get me to lose my cool, but, I've been a customer since 2007 and yesterday I've just about had my last hung up from the receptionist at Bloorcourt Vet. Since my dog passed (few years now) I've brought my sister's dog for quick check ups & to buy his special food when she travels overseas to visit me, because up until then I had nothing but good things to say about Bloorcourt. However, far TOO MANY times to count now, I (and my sister) have been treated with uncalled for rudeness over the phone for just about any type of question or concern, while receiving nothing but civil and professional phone service and all-round basic human decency in other veterinary offices for the exact same question and manner. I've gone as far as to wonder if it's because she never gets around to ask me my name to find out if I'm a customer or how long I've been one, but truth is, respect shouldn't be on a customer only basis... and if I'm going to get barked at to then be left hanging on several occasions by a receptionist for asking why might the cost of the same document have increased 300% or if they have a certain food available for order or not and then hang the phone on me after a smirky "we only reserve such things for customers" without being given the courtesy to answer back that I AM one.... I might as well stop being one, and take my hard earned money where the pets I care for & I are valued as customers. Wouldn't you think so too? Read Less

On time, Rosemary was so helpful and friendly, lovely atmosphere, the vet tech was wonderful (I believe Jane is her name) and so was the vet, Dr. Kinghorne. They were very thorough and looked at all the issues and my options. We weren't rushed at all. Afterwards Dr. Kinghorne gave Billie an accupuncture treatment and she slept like a log last night and is very relaxed today! I highly recommend this clinic. Read Less

Brought our cat in to see Dr. Jack. He was very attentive and didn't rush through the exam. He was very good with keeping our feral cat calm and gained her trust. He explained our options without treating us like a couple of "suckers". We went to an emergency vet a few days before and were told her coughing and fever was from a heart condition and that she needed evey test in the book, which was a lie. Dr. Jack ruled out any long term conditions without draining us. He did not pressure us into tests. He explained which tests would help diagnose the quickest and which tests wouldn't be efficient. He was able to diagnose pneumonia with an xray and nothing more. Stevie is now on her way to recovery and we will keep supporting this vet clinic! Read Less

I have been going to the Bloorcourt Vet Clinic for several years, and they are always friendly and accommodating. The vets and technicians do their best to keep even stressed animals comfortable during exams, and always explain the different options for treatment. They are helpful, knowledgeable, and clearly do this job because they love it. Read Less

Very friendly to animals but unless you are paying a veterinary exam fee getting any dialogue from the staff about your animals health is extremely difficult. I've paid thousands of dollars in the past here and still the customer service is terrible. Paid for flea and tick exam and testing. Had to ask the technician to come speak to me after the exam and tell me if she found any fleas or ticks. Not forthcoming with any information. I mentioned that my dog was shaking his ears more than normal and they said if I wanted an opinion for my minor concern I would have to pay for a vet exam. Very pushy for vet exams. Got as far as being in the exam room and the veterinarian entering while I was discussing my dogs ear shaking with the technician and realizing a vet exam is likely not necessary for such a minor concern. Technician was trying to lecture me with the analogy if I were sick I would go to the doctor and OHIP would pay for it. Correct but I would not go to the doctor for a minor itch or sneeze!!! So patronizing. Veterinarian then silently exited the room without even acknowledging me when she realized I felt I was being bamboozled for a vet exam that my dog did not need. What kind of way is that to deal with paying customers??!!  Again I've spent thousands of dollars here and apparently I'm not worth the common courtesy of a hello or goodbye from the vet unless my wallet is out! Read Less

I have seen several of the vets at Bloorcourt for my Great Dane puppy and we always have an excellent experience. The Vets, Vet Techs and the receptionists are extremely helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. The clinic is also really great at fitting you in when you need an appointment - on several occasions that were time sensitive/urgent, I called in the morning asking for an appointment and was in to see a vet later that day. My only minor complaint is that sometimes the wait times can be a little lengthy but for the service I receive, I feel it's worth the wait. I am very happy to bring my dog here and am confident that he is receiving the proper care and treatment from the team. Thank you!! Read Less

Avoid this place. Price very expensive. You can tell all they care about is how much money they can make and not your pets well being. This place smell so bad every time i visit. Doesnt the staff clean urine off the floor in the reception area? I regreted getting both my dogs spayed here. I don't know what they did to them. I see can the traumatize face on both of my dog faces when i came to pick her up. After they got spayed one my dog is terrify of any metal sound. She would run a hide and is extremely hard to go a walk with her. My other dog became agressive and would bark at strangers. Both of these dogs were happy and friendly dogs before they were spayed. I wish they would warned me if there is a chance this would happen. Do yourself a favor and find a better vet. This place tiny, smells bad and a money grab. Read Less

I have to agree with several other reviewers here - Bloorcourt seems to be charging exorbitant prices for basic services. (This is a major change from the previous owners of the clinic.) We have a completely healthy dog, and his basic shots and checkup plus heartworm/flea meds cost $395 today! After I paid - frankly, in shock - I got home and had a chance to go over the bill, then called to inquire about a $75 blood work charge that was on top of checkup, vaccines and meds. I was told that the "new owners mandate annual blood work - it's a higher standard of practice." It may indeed be a higher standard of practice, but we've owned two other dogs and have never forced to do yearly blood work - in fact, our previous vet told us it wasn't necessary. What's more, I wasn't told that it's now mandatory during the checkup, so the charge took me completely by surprise. Honestly, the vet and techs are nice, but it is NOT cool to impose new charges and not warm clients in advance. $400 is a LOT of money for basic vet services. Read Less

With this notes, I would like to thank the crew at Bloorcourt Veterinary. I have visited many veterinaries in the past, but no one has treated my little one with so much care and love. Thanks to Bloorcourt Rico has recovered the Jack Russell energy. Read Less

Dr Mark Kinghorn is an exceptional veterinarian. Our family is incredibly thankful for how he has gone above and beyond in finding us the right surgery and surgeon for our dog, Henry. He kindly took the time to help us research and answer all our questions. I can honestly say that Dr Kinghorn has a true passion for his job and truly cares about his patients. We are thrilled to find such a great vet. Read Less

I love my vet! The staff here are extremely nice and clearly love their jobs. They are very forthcoming with information and are always available for questions. They have an online form to make appointments if you are in a pinch too! Read Less

Everyone is super friendly here. I live in Mississauga but I travel all the way our here because they don't charge me an arm and a leg the check out my pets. They don't gauge you for cash, and they literally walk you through everything they do for your animals. I once went to my regular vet and they wanted to charge me $1400 to help my cat, I was about to put him down! I called up Bloorcourt and I only had to pay half the price, thank goodness I called. I love them here, they really care. Read Less

We have a young, healthy dog, and typically spend $200-$300 total per year for her exam, basic blood tests, vaccines and heartworm medication. For some unexplained reason, this year the vet recommended she receive a number of different/additional products and services, which cost us almost $700. This is simply ridiculous for a dog without any health concerns, who has never been sick! I feel they are taking advantage of owners' fears and lack of knowledge. We will be taking our business to a new vet next year. I am looking for recommendations in the Bloor West area :) Read Less

Bloorcourt Vet is a small, friendly place to have your pet looked after. I've been taking my cat there for a couple of years, and find that they are knowledgeable, forthright about costs, and open to answering any questions. Their services probably cost a little less than those of an equivalent provider, on average. Read Less

My first experience with this clinic's staff was fine but their prices are not as reasonable as you may think.- They did an accuplex heartworm test on my puppy to see if she had heartworm but I was informed by my current vet that the test was unnecessary until 5-7 months AFTER she turned 1 and the test could've delivered a false negative due to her age (5mo at the time) .  $65. - They quoted a spay for me at $900 before tax, which is ridiculous because the average in the area is 730, tax incl. Many places I found in my area were even in the 500s. - Has to be reminded to send veterinary files to other vets, often does not send all information. Went to a new vet yesterday and said they did not receive any of the information needed.- while the vaccine fees seem appealing, add that onto a $70 appointment cost and it loses its appeal very quick.

I have trusted the Bloorcourt Vet Clinic with my pets for many years. The staff is friendly, they show true compassion and respect for the animals in their care. I have turned to the Bloorcourt Vet clinic when my cat was at the end of her life. It was a difficult time for us and Bloorcourt treated us with kindness and sympathy and they walked us through every step. I had another cat (at another time) that required an after hours emergency clinic and Bloorcourt reached out to my family after hearing about my pet's death and they mailed us a beautiful certificate commemorating the life of my beloved pet. We were very impressed considering we did have a chance to go Bloorcourt for the procedure. I am on my THIRD kitty (a little tabby) and I wouldn't trust any one else with her health and well - being. It's true - they are pricey, but you get what you pay for. Believe me. It's worth it. Thank you Bloorcourt for serving my pets for about 15 years nowRead Less

DrGalina and the crew at Bloorcourt are always welcoming and so intuative with my 3 dogs in every aspect of their treatments they are having...my dogs and I look forward to our visits ... thank you Bloorcourt for caring for my special gals and guy! Read Less

Fantastic, upbeat doctors and supporting staff here. My 6 year old boxer cross was diagnosed with diabetes just over a month ago and everyone at this clinic has been amazingly helpful and attentive to him. I have full confidence in this veterinary clinic would recommend it to anyone with a fur baby! Read Less

I had a wonderful first appointment with my very healthy 6 year old dog, Nebo. I did my research before choosing an office as I wanted a holistic approach to animal care and I am very pleased with this practice. Thank you to the clinic for their positivity and helpful suggestions. The staff was very welcoming and overly kind to both of us. Dr Galina offered me paperwork and reading material on vaccines instead of insisting that everything be administered immediately. I was given helpful suggestions for supplements and dietary offerings instead of medical advice for occasional/re-occuring GI issues that Nebo experiences. YAY! My fear of vets that push medication and stinky vet-pet food have been lifted. I will happily refer friends and family to this clinic and finally begin yearly/regular check ups :) Read Less

Just had another great visit with Dr. Aleks Jovanovic! He is consistently kind and gentle and competent, and all the staff are so friendly and helpful. My year-old chihuahua enjoyed the previous week's visit so much he was charging up the stairs for this visit! Read Less

We've been bringing our two cats here for five years and just love it. The staff and vets are wonderful, they always go above and beyond to order to special food we need, and most importantly, the cats feel completely comfortable here. Read Less

Natural Healing at its best !Our 2 year old Rottie, Becki, recently went through a five hour surgery to remove a spinal subarachnoid cyst. That cyst had given her "Wobbler-like" symptoms. We had chosen the holistic approach when she was first diagnosed as a "Wobbler dog" 15 months ago by a neurologist.  Despite her condition, Becki has been a spunky, happy and surprising mobile dog until an unfortunate dog attack incident early this year. The consequences of that attack led us to an MRI and the discovery of the cyst and then surgery.  It's the surgeon's comment that I really want to share here - He thought Becki was extremely " lucky" that she was able to maintain such a normal and active doggie life before all this.  We know in our mind and in our hearts that regular acupuncture treatments from Dr. Galina was Becki's luck.

Dr. Galina is so kind and gentle! My 12-year-old Chinese Crested was in pain from horrible teeth problems that often come as a side effect of being hairless. Dr. Galina and the Bloorcourt team were so wonderful and took such good care of him before, during and after surgery. He had 11 teeth pulled and they have given him a new lease on life! He is such a happy dog. The cost was even lower than the estimate. So happy we have Dr. Galina as a vet! Read Less

The team at Bloorcourt vet are great! Their passion and dedication for animals is apparent at every interaction. The staff are kind, knowledgeable and attentive to mine and my cats needs. Been going there since I've had my cat (4 yrs). I've moved away from the area but keep coming here because of the level of care they give my cat, their friendliness and the prices are very competitive. Read Less

I don't know why there are negative reviews . Yes they are a bit expensive but I checked out alot of other vets before and they were just expensive if not more and it is toronto so pretty much everything is . And I'd rather pay their prices and know my baby is taken care of 100%. The staff is so friendly and helpful .if I can't afford to take her in if something concerns me they are so nice and let me email them pictures the odd time with my concern . All the staff is great there but my favorite is Dr Galina  she is so wonderful :) I've never ever had a problem with bloorcourt Read Less

I'm surprised with the bad reviews as my experience has been the complete opposite. I took my cat here to have her teeth cleaned with possibility of extractions upon further inspection. I was quoted a price but ended up paying half that as my cat's teeth were healthier than we thought. I felt they were completely honest and up front about everything from start to finish. They are aware of cost concerns and are always willing to be clear on things that are essential and things that can wait. They followed up with phone calls and even called me back to answer some questions I had. They also treated my cat very tenderly during her check up. People who become veterinarians love animals. It's actually harder to become a vet than a regular human doctor because of all the different species they have to learn about. To say that a veterinarian doesn't love animals is a total contradiction. I highly recommend this clinic for your pet's needs. I find they really go out of their way to make you feel comfortable while they care for your precious fur babies. I'm really pleased with the quality of care my cat has received and am glad I switched vets. Read Less

The first few times I went my puppy was fine (other than an apparent bout of giardia which took over $200 to cure..) but when he was about 4.5  months old the one vet said she detected a heart murmur. Two weeks later we took him in for his leptospirosis shot, and this is how the last appointment played out:-Vet/ vet tech came in (I don't know who she is, she never introduced herself to me and looked completely miserable the whole time)-Did not weigh or do a physical check of the dog-When asked about his heart murmur her response was "let me take him to the back and let the pro's listen"-Scolded us in disgust for us taking our puppy to a dog park to get him socialized because he is small (insinuating a big dog would attack him)-Did not know how to answer any questions we had about our dog-Stuck a thermometer in his rectum (he is a chihuahua and only weighs a few pounds. I have not seen anyone before or since do that)-Just kinda grabbed him and poked him with the needle without careNeedless to say after that I never wanted to give that over priced and inconsiderate practice another penny of my money or have my pup go through that again.It also turns out (after seeing two other different vets and practices) my dog DOES NOT have a heart murmur. I can only assume they were trying to weasle me out of more money. Not to mention I spent a month of my time fretting over something a couple of their "vets" told me that wasn't true. Read Less

I've been to various vet clinics in the past 15 years and I'm sticking with this one for now. They are fantastic and really care about the well being of my cats.I really like that when I mentioned I wasn't happy with the food I'd been feeding my cats, that they gave resources to educate myself rather than trying to sell me food. They also didn't try to sell me on unnecessary medical procedures and they followed up to see that my cat was healing.I agree with the other reviews that the front of house staff is excellent. Read Less

Their front of house staff is excellent.  They are friendly and wonderful people.  Samantha can warm anyone with a smile.  The vet that used to be in charge of this clinic Dr. Gewarter is a wonderful man, with care and concern for your pets as his top most concern.  However, they've recently had a change of vets.  The new vet, whose name I do not recall, seems to have a new medication or injection to purchase every time we visit, scaring us with threats of cancer.  So suspect, we spent the money on a endoscopy / biopsy with another clinic, to get a real answer, which was half the price bloorcourt had quoted to do it through their sister clinic.  Result: We were being conned.  Our cat is healthy, and most likely had constipation or something similar to kick off our concern in the first place.He had us feeding our cat chemo drugs, just to make a buck.

Doctor Jack not here any more. We went there with are frenchie for its first needles.We came home and noticed his eyes getting puffy. We called him and rushed back . He told us after the fact that this breed might react like that will putting my dog on a Ive. WHY DINT HE TELL US TO KEEP A EYE ON THE DOG THROUGH OUT THE DAY. Not after the fact. He was more concerned to sell us dog food We have found a new Vet. We miss Dr Jack Read Less

I have tried ALL of the vet clinics in the King and Queen West neighbourhoods over the last 10 years, and after hearing many glowing reviews of Bloorcourt, I decided to give them a try, despite the extra travel time to get to Bloor West.  It was such a great experience, and I'm so happy to say that I've found a vet that I trust with my pet's lives.Every single staff member there is friendly and professional, and the vet we saw was thorough, personable, and clearly loves animals, which is surprisingly NOT always the case.  They strive to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both the pets and the owners.The BEST part for me is how safety-conscious they are there....for the first time, I wasn't worried that my pet might escape.  And they don't think that I'm crazy, or if they do, they don't show it, and that's good enough for me!!!  :)A top-notch clinic in every way, Bloorcourt is the answer to every paranoid pet owner's prayers.
