Lawrence Park Animal Hospital

I cannot praise this practice enough. They go so above and beyond to support not only the pets needs but the humans as well. This is a group of incredibly kind, caring and skilled professionals. Vet appointments and the circumstances surrounding them can be very stressful but Dr. Wilder and his team give you the support you need to navigate medical needs our precious pets! Read Less

Big thank you to Lawrence Park Animal Hospital for taking amazing care of my two Chihuahua mixes Relish & his little sister Gravvy. These two pups are more than just pets to me they are a huge part of my therapy and purpose in life and i only trust Lawrence Park to tend to all my two companions needs and regular check ups Read Less

We cannot praise Lawrence Park Animal Hospital highly enough for the outstanding care they consistently provide to our beloved Zoey. Dr. Larry has cared for our pets for years and always goes above and beyond to ensure the well-being of every pet that comes to the clinic. Dr Larry and the team are exceptional! We wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone searching for a top-tier veterinarian who genuinely cares for their pet's well-being. Thank you, Dr Larry and team! Read Less

Dr. Larry Wilder did an amazing job on my toy breed dog's neuter surgery (one of my dog's testicles was undescended so it involved further skill). There was great follow-up and my dog healed quickly. My dog had a great outcome and months after I do not see scarring from the surgical site. Well done! Read Less

Dr. Larry Wilder and the whole team at LPAH are just so amazing! My husband and I moved to Toronto with our French Bulldog, Luna, a few months ago. We were concerned that we would have a hard time finding good care for Luna and we were relieved that LPAH was accepting new patients. The team has been so supportive, guiding us through a scary surgery that Luna needed on her soft palate and tonsils. Dr. Wilder took the time to explain the procedure, risks and rewards, and showed us video of his evaluation of Luna so we could really understand why he recommended the procedure. Luna’s surgery went very well and we’re so grateful that she is feeling better. The whole team has been very accommodating, knowing that we had follow-up questions and wanted to make sure Luna was recovering properly and didn’t aspirate, they helped squeeze us in so Dr. Wilder could listen to Luna’s lungs and we could have peace of mind that she was progressing well. They are always responsive to calls or emails and give Luna lots of love when she visits! We are so grateful for LPAH!! Read Less

Dr Wilder and his entire team at Lawrence Park Animal Hospital are always professional and kind, knowledgeable and devoted and work tirelessly to always go above and beyond. I cannot thank them enough for the incredible care they have taken of my dog over the past 10 years. From checkups, to emergencies, they are always committed to providing the best care to both pets and (worried) pet owners. Read Less

First of all, I want to thank Dr. Larry, Dr. Megan, Tash and the rest of the amazing staff, (Dr. Kim - Mobile Surgeon), for all the hard work, love, care and effort that they put in to Mocha's surgery and emergency medical situation. My husband and I are extremely grateful and will never forget all that the Lawrence Park team did for Mocha and us to turn an unexpected, almost devastating circumstance into the most positive experience possible. They went above and beyond anything and everything anyone could expect or ask for to save Mocha's life and keep our hearts from being broken. Mocha is now back at home recovering and doing very well, thanks to everyone at Lawrence Park and the OVC in Guelph. We could not ask for a better Veterinarian team and give our 110% recommendation to anyone looking for the best Veterinarian services Read Less

The team at Lawrence Park Animal Hospital has been nothing but amazing in helping us keep our puppy Maisy healthy and happy. Since day one, they’ve been great at giving us the advice and guidance we’ve needed and always had Maisy’s best interests at heart. Maisy’s had the chance to meet Dr. Wilder, Dr. Wieser, Dr. Kestelman and the rest of the team and we know she’s in great hands by how excited she is every time we go for a visit. We’re really grateful for their patience and flexibility with us when we call in whenever Maisy gets into something she isn’t supposed to. Thanks again to everyone at Lawrence Park Animal Hospital! Read Less

First a big thanks to Dr. Wieser, Dr. Wilder and the entire team at Lawrence Park Animal Hospital! The care they gave to my cat Beau was nothing short of exceptional. Every step of the way, every test, procedure and medication was explained comprehensively. I never felt rushed or pressured; my needs as Beau’s owner were considered and handled with integrity and compassion. Beau is healing beautifully, we are very grateful to everyone at Lawrence Park Animal Hospital! Read Less

The level of caring and service that we (and my family) have received over the years and continue to receive from Lawrence Park Animal Hospital, is second to none. Knowing they are always there when we need them, that they work tirelessly and over and above the call of duty, that we can trust their expertise and results with our beloved pets is huge comfort. The entire team is amazing. Thanks so much to you all and for all that you continue to do on our behalf. We whole heartedly recommend Lawrence Park Animal Hospital. ❤️ Read Less

Dr. Wilder and his staff are by far the most caring, professional, and knowledgeable veterinary team I have even dealt with. They explain everything in detail and follow up after your appointment. I trust Dr. Wilder with my precious pets and would recommend him to anyone who owns a pet. He’s honest and patient during appointments. He ensures you understand everything that is going on with your pet. I’m truly blessed to have been introduced to him and his team! Read Less

I've recently switched to Lawrence Park Animal Hospital and I must admit that I'm thoroughly impressed. All of the staff are all so incredibly friendly. It's very clear how much they care for the animals that they look after. Dr. Wilder is caring, compassionate and a very kind human being. I know without a doubt that my Bengal will be in good hands. I highly recommend this clinic! Read Less

I have been a loyal customer of Lawrence Park for many years now and always appreciated the great treatment of my dogs but it wasn't until my new dog Norman got incredibly sick (his own fault for eating something bad...) that I realized how Dr. Wilder, Tessa and the rest of the team go way way above and beyond to make sure that Norman had the best of care at all times, and also that I was kept in the loop constantly with updates on his condition (including weekend check ins !). I have recently moved North for the most part and was debating switching to a local vet in the area but after this experience I will always come back to Toronto/Lawrence Park Animal Hospital for my dogs care ! I highly recommend !! Read Less

My initial impression of LPAH (via Instagram) was the abnormal quantity of donuts, cookies, and cupcakes that they consume on a regular basis! Once meeting, it became abundantly clear - - - a client's natural reaction is to shower this amazing team with a bevy of treats. They are 3 levels ABOVE "quality" in their organized, thorough, professional and extremely kind care of all things furry. A vet's visit can be stressful for pet AND owner but with LPAH you can sit back, relax - - maybe even grab a donut! Read Less

After waiting months for a date to get our little guy neutered we decided we were not going to wait any longer and we made the switch to Lawerence Park Animal Hospital. Best decision we could have ever made. I was able to get the initial consult and the surgery date in less than two weeks. The clinic runs like a well oiled machine and everyone provides amazing care. Their pre and post care explanation and follow up are fantastic. They called immediately after surgery with an update on how Teddy was doing and to go through post care instructions. They also took extra time when we picked him up to go through and thoroughly explain post care directions and medications again to make sure we understood everything before we took Teddy home. They called the following day to check up on him and book his stitch removal apt. It’s refreshing when you get phenomenal care not only from the Dr. but also the techs and the entire team. I am also impressed that I have not called even once without a live person picking up the phone. Glad we made the switch to the new clinic as the quality of care is exceptional. Read Less

Having been a loyal client of this treasured vet and his team for over 27 years, I know the practice well. Dr. Wilder is always very patient and clear describing any problems and treatment options. I adopt senior rescue dogs and know him to treat my pets and their various issues with kindness, care and expertise. I recommend Dr. Wilder to others and trust him totally with my precious animal friends - you will not find better! Thank you Dr. Wilder and your team. Read Less

Hello To All I just wanted to say once again, thank you to Dr. Larry Wilder and all the staff for the great service and care today, taking Diesel last minute. We have already seen a slight improvement since we got home and he is a little more relaxed now finally. The entire staff are tops in our books as we truly appreciate the care and dedication you take with the animals in the Lawrence Park Animal Hospital Thank you Paul & Lorrie Sands Read Less

After hearing about the Lawrence park animal hospital, I brought my Rottweiler in for a check up and had an amazing experience, the employees are extremely friendly and caring for your animal. They take all precautions to ensure your animal is in a comfortable environment, they have great positive energy and strong passion. Highly recommend taking your pet loved ones here ! Read Less

Dr. Wilder and his team are simply the best! From first appointment after my kitten of 6 months got vaccinated - I never saw her in pain or distress. It’s nice to be able to ask your vet questions without them being in a rush or annoyed. Dr. Wilder thank you so much for everything! I’ve heard many stories about careless vets or how much money it all costs you - this is a place that actually cares about your paw-friends’ needs! Each appointment went smooth even during covid & I feel safe to trust them with my best friend. Read Less

Dr. Larry Wilder is a fantastic vet and I highly recommend him to all. Our puppy has had a few issues, and he has been accurate with his diagnoses and plans. He is smart, kind, and warm. Furthermore, Lawrence Park Animal Hospital overall has been an amazing experience. From the front desk staff to the vet techs, everyone who works there is great! They are very good with our dog and we trust them completely. They always follow up after any vaccine or procedure and that is very much appreciated. We only have excellent things to say about Dr. Larry and the entire team! Thanks for all your care for our puppy Wrigley! Read Less

The team at Lawrence Park Animal Hospital are absolutely incredible. I’ve been taking my fur babies there for 25 years. Dr Wilder is amazing at his work and you can see the love he has for animals.I wouldn’t want anyone but the team at LPAH to care for my babies. Read Less

I have been going to Lawrence Park Vet for over 20 years and have always been very happy with them. Recently my dog required surgery and the wonderful care I received from the staff made the experience easier to go through. Read Less

Dr Wilder and his assistant Tash helped my family with our rescue dog Manny. He helped us immensely as Manny ruptured his ACL and our vet could not help us. The follow ups and after care with advice has helped us with Mannys recovery. Only wished he lived in Antigua. Very caring, knowledgeable and a great guy who has clearly taught his assistant well! Great vets, would highly recommend them. Read Less

LPAH has been caring for my dogs since the practice opened. Dr. Wilder and his staff have seen me through all the trials and tribulations, the joys and the heartbreak which inevitably accompany pet ownership. Larry is both an excellent diagnostician and skilled surgeon, moreover he always provides clear explanations, while somehow managing not to scare the anxious owner ( me ). Vet Techs and support staff are always helpful , competent and friendly, warm and attentive to their patients. My dogs love going to LPAH, no fear of Vets. here. I cannot recommend too highly. Read Less

Dr. Wilde is incredibly knowledgeable and always makes us feel at ease when caring for our Frenchie. He has a lot of experience with bulldogs so there is no other vet we would trust. Every time we walk by with Henri he pulls to go in, he just loves visiting the wonderful staff. Highly recommend, especially for parents of bullies. Read Less

Dr. Larry Wilder has been our vet for over 16 years. His clinic staff are caring, competent, and helpful. Both my dogs have received exemplary service and I would not hesitate to recommend this facility. Read Less

Dr. WIlder has been looking after our dog since she was a puppy. Both he & Dr. Paul and all of the staff at Lawrence Park Animal Hospital are pleasant, knowledgable & very responsive. Our puppy is now 10 years old and we trust LPAH for all of her care. Read Less

My family has been bringing our pets here since it opened. When our cat was hit by a car Dr. Wilder performed the surgery. Our cat lived another 10 wonderful years. I have since moved but continue to drive across the city for vet appointments because we trust them. Dr Kumagai performed the most recent surgery for my dog and his recovery has been remarkable. I can’t thank her enough for her level of care and attention. They are the best veterinary surgeons I have come across, they are sensible and honest, and DO NOT over-charge. The entire staff is friendly and professional and truly love their patients. Read Less

Larry and his team are incredible! Our Flossie (who was a special high maintenance dog), had 17 great years at Lawrence Park Animal Hospital. Blossom is our new puppy - and has already made good friends with all the folks at Larry's place. Your pet is in great hands! Barb and Simon (and Blossom) Smith Read Less

We became clients of Lawrence Park Animal Clinic in 2018 after purchasing our 4th boxer puppy. Friends had recommended it for their professional, yet very personal service. A clinic large enough to deal with almost any situation but small enough to remember the names of their patients and their owners. Leo’s first operation, neutering, went well and the aftercare was fantastic. Thank you Larry and team. Read Less

When our 1st family dog past away Dr. Wilder was extremely compassionate. He helped us to make the right decision for our dog. Shortly after we welcomed 2 new dogs into our home. I didn’t hesitate of course to have Dr. Wilder and his friendly team look after them. They always take extra care and follow up with phone calls after all our appointmenta. Thanks for always being there for us. Read Less

After my vet had retired and sold her clinic to a large veterinarian company (which offered horrendous service) I made an appointment with Dr Wilder to see my 2 babies. I need to state that I am a very anxious fur mummy so I can be a challenge for any vet. My first appointment was for a check up for my 11 year old Yorkie and new Maltese pup. Dr. Wilder was wonderful!  His exam was comprehensive and he explained everything in a calm reassuring way . I never felt rushed. My Yorkie needed his teeth cleaned and some bad teeth pulled. To say I was scared is putting it mildly. Dr . Wilder performed the surgery and called me personally following the surgery to review the surgery and reassure me. His staff called me the next day to see how Benny was doing. Months later it was time for my Maltese to be neutered and baby teeth pulled. Again Dr Wilder called to assure me all was well after surgery. My husband who is a physician commented on how precise Finns incision was . Dr Wilder also got the baby teeth out in one piece. Bottom line Dr wilder and his staff are wonderful and committed to caring for their patients. We are a family that will always have dogs and Dr Wilder will be our clear choice to care for them. Having had many pets and many vets We are sticking with Dr Wilder and his team!!!!  Reisa and Jeff Read Less

Dr. Larry is a fantastic vet. He is extremely knowledgeable and competent. He is an excellent diagnostician and surgeon. His manner is kind and patient and he truly cares about my our two dogs. All of the staff members are equally wonderful. They are efficient, kind, caring and treat us all like family. I highly recommend Lawrence Park Animal Hospital. Read Less

Larry has been our vet for more than 15 years ... since Day One he and his team have looked after my dogs -- Henrietta (Henry), Rollie and now Bertie -- as if they were family. During Rollie's recent surgery the staff phoned me regularly to update me on the progress of the procedures and Larry took special care to make sure I understood everything he was doing. We haven't lived in the neighbourhood for more than 12 years now - in fact we no longer even live in Toronto - but we will never go to another vet as long as LPAH is available. I will only trust my dogs to Larry's care. The dogs all love a visit to LPAH and I know they are in excellent hands and will receive the very best of care. Read Less

My wife and I moved into Lawrence Park 23 years ago. One day we happened to be pushing our newborn daughter in her stroller while walking our first dog, a cocker spaniel named Oscar, down Yonge Street. Larry Wilder was outside his animal hospital handing out his shingle. We stopped, chatted with him and he's been our vet ever since. Six dogs later, he is a godsend. He not only takes care of our dogs, but when I volunteered with Labrador Retriever Rescue of Ontario, he looked after those dogs for me too. He puts his patients first. He is fair, generous and compassionate. The team he has built around him, including Kerry Tait, he co-Vet, is extraordinary. They have become family. We are about to move south and west to Liberty Village after 23 years in North Toronto but we will not be changing vets. As long as Larry is in business, as long as Lawrence Park Animal Hospital is in Lawrence Park, our dogs will be his patients. Thank you for everything over all these years, Larry, Kerry, Tasha, Tessa, Caroline, Sarah and the whole LPAH team. You have literally been lifesavers and we're with you as long as you'll have us. There is no better vet in this city. Read Less

I have been a patient of Dr Larry Wilder for almost 20 years. He has cared for every pet I have owned which now is my 14 year old shih tzu named Bella. He has always treated my animals as though they were his own, helping me make smart decisions regarding their health. He is kind, caring and compassionate. All his staff are friendly and highly professional. I would recommend Lawrence Park Animal Hospital for anyone who wants exceptional health care for their furry family members. Read Less

I was referred to Dr. Larry by a friend who has been going to him for over a decade. I had my first visit with him today and it was a great experience. He is super friendly, knowledgeable and will provide his honest advice/opinion without trying to sell you on anything extra. Im very excited to continue my relationship with this clinic, especially since I’ve been burned badly by vets before. My pup also loves this vet because they have his favourite liver treats there 🤣🤣🤣 😃😃😃 Read Less

Lawrence Park Animal Hospital has been a great experience! My 10mth old puppy, Teddy, loves going to the vet no matter what, and is always excited to see who will come out and give him love! Staff are excellent! Very professional, personable, clean and punctual! Read Less

Our 13 year old dog, Cody, had a large tumour removed from his chest. It was successfully removed in a 3-hour surgery. Both before and after the surgery the staff at LPAH kept us well informed. They took great care with our dog right after the surgery and the weeks following during recovery. The staff have always been warm and loving with Cody, and he especially appreciates the treats! Cody recovered without any complications, and now, fully recovered he is a happy dog! Read Less

Amazing staff and environment! I have one young rescue dog who can be very nervous/timid and they are so sweet and understanding, our other dog is a senior lab and they take amazing care of his needs. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! The vets, the technicians, and support staff are phenomenal. In an emergency or a regular check up, LPAH makes your experience the least stressful it can be by making sure you understand everything they are doing, every step of the way. Read Less

Dr. Wilder and the staff are amazing! We have been so impressed and trust them completely with the care of our rescue dog. We have appreciated the dedication, attention to detail, and skill of Dr. Wilder and the staff more than they can ever know. They continue to care for our dog as though he was their own. 110 stars out of 5! Read Less

We are truly grateful for the kind, warm and loving care and environment at Lawrence Park Animal Hospital. Our rescue kitten, Marv, has been treated extremely well since we first took him there, under the care of the entire staff and Dr. Natalie Paul. This past week, Dr. Larry Wilder (the vet who cared for our late dog, Brodie) did the neutering and microchip procedure. We're not so sure Marv enjoyed the procedure, but we're happy that he was in such good hands. Thanks again to the fine folks at Lawrence Park Animal Hospital. Read Less

I am a new client at LPAH and very impressed by this clinic. In September my 9 year-old cat had a nasty urinary tract infection.  Over the weekend it became apparent that he was suffering and on Saturday evening, after having left it too late to get appointment at LPAH, I took him  to the Emergency Clinic on Eglinton West.  They were very good (although expensive!) and my cat was released Sunday evening feeling much better. On the Monday morning I had a follow-up appointment at LPAH.  Dr. Kerry Tait was excellent. She was very gentle in handling my skittish kitty who seemed to be quite relaxed when being examined. She listened closely to my questions, gave thorough answers, and I didn't feel rushed.  Staff followed up with me over the next couple of weeks, calling me on two occasions.  After a urinary analysis was completed Dr.Tait called to give me the results and she made sensible suggestions that actually worked as to how to get my kitty to drink more water. She has very kind, reassuring manner.  The costs were very reasonable.The staff are welcoming, alert, and helpful.  Previous to this visit I had only used LPAH on one occasion, which was simply to board my cat for the day. On that occasion, he received vaccinations as well.  I am very pleased with the care my cat received and  recommend this clinic. Read Less

After spending a month researching and speaking to the many Veterinary offices around our home, I chose Lawrence Park Animal Hospital for our Husky puppy, Oakley. The staff is incredibly professional, warm and have genuine care for your animal as well as yourself. They made the process easy and gave me a sense of confidence when it comes to selecting the best care for Oakley. The Veterinary Doctors who work here are, quite simply, the best. They take the optimal steps to provide top level care for your animal. I was thoroughly impressed with the honesty and mindfulness of the Veterinary Doctors who only recommended essential treatments instead of trying to pad the bill with unnecessary procedures. The waiting room and examination rooms are clean and comfortable for the time you will spend there. I highly recommend this Veterinary Hospital for anyone who is currently looking. Read Less

We recently added a poodle puppy to our family. Neither my husband nor I have ever had a dog so we are the typical nervous first timers. We live very close to LPAH and so decided to take our puppy there. Dr. Wilder could not have been more helpful and knowledgeable. Our puppy was very comfortable with Dr. Wilder and all of the staff at LPAH. We probably asked a lot of stupid questions (being newbies) but none of the staff made us feel stupid! Amazingly, after each visit, one of the staff at LPAH called us to make sure that our puppy was feeling well, did not react to any of the medications (vaccines, heartworm pills, etc.). What great service. Also, we had a couple of questions regarding neutering our dog -- Dr. Wilder was away at the time but on his return, he called us back at our cottage... GREAT SERVICE! I joked with the staff recently that I heard many dogs fear the vet, when we get close to LPAH my dog drags me with all his strength to get in the door of LPAH. You can't get a better recommendation than that! Read Less

I had taken my new puppy to LPAH earlier this week. It was my first time as a client since the other vet I deal with has decided to only deal with exotics and no longer accepts dogs and cats as new patients. LPAH was close by and had good reviews so I booked an appointment. In one phone call they took all of my info as well as my dog's and everything was ready to go. The process was very easy. As well I was able to get an appointment that worked perfectly with my schedule which was amazing.Everyone at the clinic was friendly and helpful. The office is small but very clean. I saw Dr Wilder for my puppy's checkup and he was great, very knowledgeable, personable and really great with my dog. Imagine taking a puppy to a check up at 7 weeks and the vet was so good that my little guy didn't make a peep and barely squirmed. All of the staff I interacted with were wonderful and they all seemed very passionate about what they do. The customer service was great and everyone who handled him was great with my dog. I will definitely be coming back! Read Less

Amazing amazing animal clinic! LARRY and the whole team provide incredible ABOVE and beyond pet care! Good vets are hard to find! Dr Larry Wilder isn't just a good vet, he's an INCREDIBLE VET!!! One in a million!!! Read Less

We've been going to see Dr. Larry Wilder and the lovely staff at Lawrence Park Animal Hospital for almost 25 years. My mother went to them in search of our first kitten, and our family has kept going ever since. They have been beyond professional and helpful for all our pets; I have absolute faith and trust in the entire staff at LPAH. Dr. Wilder has performed some amazing work on my dog, removing tricky lumps and caring for an anxious dog (and owner...). They genuinely love and care for all animals, to the point when we start walking towards the office, my spaniel pulls me to the front door and looks expectantly to go in! Read Less

Best vet ever! I brought my first cat, Marlowe, to see Dr. Larry Wilder 20 years ago. Immediately upon seeing her, he picked her up and said hello by giving her a kiss on her nose. At that moment, I knew I had found a vet for life. He and the team at LPAH took impeccable care of her over the years during various illnesses. And when the time came to euthanize her, the care and compassion shown was truly heartwarming. I've just gotten a new kitten and the care they've shown Jameson during her recent surgery is beyond spectacular; the update call post-surgery by Dr. Wilder and the daily bulletins are so appreciated. While I no longer live in the neighbourhood and I have to battle some city traffic to get to the clinic, it's absolutely worth the drive. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Wilder and his team. Read Less

Lawrence Park Hospital is the only place I bring my dog! The vets and all the staff are amazing and I feel totally at ease and well taken care of in their hands. My dog loves them too! Highly recommend if looking for a good vet! Read Less

I was put in a very difficult position overnight, trying to do what is best for my Westie, Trotsky, and when I came in this morning, I had to ask Dr. Wilder for his understanding as to why not to proceed with surgery right away. Without going into details, without hesitation Dr. Wilder suggested what was the only solution that would be best for all. Dr. Wilder showed incredible judgment and tact and made a decision that was difficult for him and the staff at this wonderful Animal Hospital. He gave of himself and of his staff in a way that is very unusual these days - he took my needs into account, as well as the dog's and his own/his staff's. I can't say enough to recommend very highly this Animal Hospital. All his staff are of excellent calibre. They not only have the experience and will technically perform what is necessary, but know how to handle us "canine companions" (the humans who own them). The service here is second to none. It's so heartening to know that these professionals are so caring about the owners, as well as the pets. Read Less

Our family has been closely involved with the Lawrence Park Animal Hospital for many, many years where they have taken wonderful care of our 3 dogs. The doctors are thorough and compassionate and always take the time to make sure all questions are addressed. The entire team gets to know all of the families and their pets and they follow up after each visit to make sure things are OK. They have created a warm, friendly environment and make the pets and their owners feel very special. Our dogs love going to the vet and so do I! (Leslie Grant) Read Less

What can we say about Dr. Larry and Dr. Kerry? There are no more capable and caring veterinarians on the planet. They treat our fur babies as if they were their own. The staff are dedicated and attentive to our pets. They know our cats by name and are always excited when we bring them in. Our cat was diagnosed with a heart condition that led to serious complications when he had a stroke. Dr. Larry and Dr. Kerry followed up twice weekly for over a month to make sure that our little fellow was doing fine. Although we had low expectations for his future, the little guy has regained use of his legs and while he may never be 100%, we credit his remarkable recovery, in part, to the great care he received at Lawrence Park. We cannot express enough our gratitude for such a wonderful and caring team.Read Less

Dr Tait is amazing as is the rest of the staff I've met. My cat as been going there for a few years and recently had to have some (12!) teeth pulled and Dr Tait went above and beyond. I was nervous about the whole procedure and she explained it and made me feel at ease and I knew my cat was in good hands. She then touched base with me multiple times during the procedure. I knew I had nothing to be worried about. I would strongly recommend this animals hospital and Dr Tait as a vet Any day! Read Less

Very knowledgeable and caring staff. Wait times extremely low. I have never needed to wait longer than 5 min. Dr Wilder (Larry) is great. He knows what he is talking about and very personable. The entire staff is great and they also send followup emails to see how things going with our new pup Charlie. Thanks for all you do Larry and entire LPAH staff. Read Less

Given the opportunity, I will not trust the care and well-being of my four dogs to anyone other than Dr. Wilder and the rest of the staff at Lawrence Park Animal Hospital. Along with being caring and compassionate, Dr. Wilder is the most competent veterinarian that I have met in my 30+ years of "pet parenting." All of my phone calls and emails are returned in a timely manner. Dr. Wilder has only suggested "medically necessary" testing and procedures, which I very much appreciate. The GTA is very fortunate to have Dr. Wilder and the rest of the LPAH staff for its veterinary needs. Thank you "Dr. Larry (and staff)" for all of your kind help to my family over the past few years!

Lawrence Park gave my cat, George, wonderful care, from age 6, when my mother adopted him from THS to age 23, a year after I inherited him from her. He loved everyone there, and it was obvious they loved him. Read Less

Very welcoming place for my first pet! Exceptional staff that check up regularly to see how he's doing. Dog owners themselves, they not only can help your pup medically but also give you the best advice for all other areas of your concerns. Highly Recommended! Read Less

Dr. Wilder and the staff at LPAH have been excellent! I have found Dr. Wilder to be knowledgeable, thoughtful and understanding about the factors that impact my decisions about my pet's care - including her well being and my budget. And he has a sense of humor! The staff have been friendly and professional. Read Less

I am a new dog owner as of this past summer. Lawrence Park Animal Hospital came highly recommended to me by a trusted person who is very involved with canine rescue dogs. My puppy had to stay overnight for some tests and examinations. During the two visits that I had dropped her off and picked her up, each one of the clinic members made a point of greeting me, introducing themselves, and trying to make a personal connection to my puppy. It was a very welcoming environment. The doctor that my puppy was treated by thoroughly impressed me. His dedication is noted in his detail to examination, thoroughness of explanations, and even the dedication to his obvious passion by travelling to developing countries to treat the lost and the sick animals there. Add in a splash of welcomed humour and I knew I was in the right place. This is a clinic that whether it is a routine visit, an outpatient procedure, or a more in-depth treatment requiring a sleepover, you leave knowing and trusting that your pet is/will be in good hands. Thank-you LPAH! Read Less

I couldnt ask for better care for my Great Dane Lucy than I receive consistently from Dr. Larry Wilder & his amazing team at Lawrence Park Animal Hospital. From the caring & compassionate attention that she receives at each visit, to the follow-up calls to ensure that shes doing well, I have the utmost confidence in & respect for this veterinary clinic. Lucy actually enjoys her visits! Read Less

I find all the staff at Lawrence Park to be absolutely great. They are helpful, caring, and very helpful in answering questions. Dr. Wilder is especially helpful, knowledgeable and cares greatly for pets. My Shiloh Shepherd was the first this season with Lyme disease. He explained the condition so very clearly, answered follow up e-mail questions, called to see how my dog was doing with the medication. All visits teach me a lot and clearly demonstrate how much the staff here care. Read Less

Dr. Kevin Wilder and Dr. Kerry Tate are both absolutely amazing!!! They both give their complete attention to your pet as well as your concerns no matter how trivial they may be. They go above and beyond. Dr. Wilder has built a wonderful personal business that is not only a business to him but an extension to his values as a pet owner. He treats your pet as is if they are his own and gives the personal touch we all want. Today it is hard to get that personal touch but with Lawrence Park Animal Hospital you get it! In addition, their services are top notch. You know that you will get the best quality assessment of your pet and walk out knowing your pet's health is in good hands. Their support staff are also knowledgeable, pleasant and professional. Smiles everywhere!! If you are looking for a place in the neighbourhood for your pet to get the best quality care as well as personal neighbourly service this is the place to come!!! It's "Doc Hollywood" for pets!Read Less

During my visit to Canada I checked with several vet hospitals to register my Shih Tzu JJ as I hope to be visiting C'da on a fairly regular basis along with JJ. I found the welcome & service at Lawrence Park Animal Hospital to far surpass the others I visited. As a result of the warm care and attention shown to JJ by all the staff I will highly recommend Lawrence Park Animal Hospital. My special thanks to Dr. Larry and Natalya. JJ sends kisses and hopes to visit sometime in the near future. Read Less

Dr. Kerry Tait is an excellent veterinarian. We first met her when we brought my old and sick childhood cat to Lawrence Park Animal Hospital; she provided very supportive end-of-life care for the last month of Cally's life, and when the time came to put Cally down, she made time for an appointment that very day. We can tell she genuinely cares about animals, and does not pressure us humans to put our pets through unnecessary procedures in order to make more money. The vet techs are also very friendly and gave us a great lesson in trimming claws with our new kitten Pinot. We are overall very happy with our service from Lawrence Park Animal Hospital! Read Less

We recently adopted Rosco, a rescue from Turks and Caicos. Shortly after, we were devastated to find out Rosco had heartworm disease. My vet had me so upset, telling me Rosco might not survive the treatment and he was reading from a manual. I was not comfortable at all with what he was telling me. Then, thanks to a very good man, we were introduced to Dr. Larry Wilder. Right from our first conversation, I knew Rosco would receive the best care possible. Dr Wilder explained the treatment in terms that we could understand and was confident Rosco would be o.k. following the treatments. He also helped me as we went through this. The staff are amazing, caring, compassionate and confident. Rosco has completed his heartworm treatment and is doing great thanks to Dr.Wilder and his team. I will be forever grateful to them for saving my boy. As you can guess, we have changed vets. If you're looking for a good vet, I highly recommend Dr. Wilder.Read Less

We are new puppy owners and so happy to be in the hands of Lawrence Park AH. For us anxious new dog owners, it's great to know that there is always someone available there to answer my questions (and believe me there are many!) I like the fact that they check on Tobi after the vaccines to make sure he is ok. Thank you! Read Less

My family has been loyal clients at LPAH for over 20 years. We have had many cats throughout those years and have always trusted them with our very loved kitties. Even when I brought my cat in for a routine neutering and I was called shortly after to be told that he had died and been unable to recover from the anesthesia. I was of course devastated. But I forgave them. When my mom called me sobbing because her cat was obviously on deaths door and the receptionist at LPAH would not let her come in with him due to having no appointments available. Even when she asked if she could come and sit with him in the waiting room they told us not to. They finally gave her an appointment 3 hours later and I made her go early because the cat was so obviously in huge distress. The cat died in their waiting room because no one would see us earlier. They never recommended that we should have gone to emergency with him, which any good vet would have suggested. But, again, I forgave them.Now I have moved out of the area. I just got a new kitten and decided I would book him at a new vet, but keep my older cat with LPAH. My older cat was not doing well with adjusting to the new kitten and had stopped eating completely. He was lethargic and hadn't eaten in almost 2 days. So on Monday morning when they opened I called immediately to get my older cat an appointment. I told them how sick he was and they said (again) that they had no appointments and that they could see him the NEXT DAY. I stressed how badly he was doing and they said they would get back to me in a couple minutes. 30 minutes later no one had called. I called back. They again said they'd call back. Don't forget, I have stressed how sick and desperate my cat is and they haven't even suggested I go to the emergency vet. In the mean time, I call the new vet office where I have booked my kitten an appointment for the next day. I had never even been to the new vet before so I didn't expect that they would see a brand new client with an emergency. But they did. They told me that I had to come in right away because cats don't do well at all if they stop eating. On my way to the new vet (over an hour later at this point) LPAH called to say I could come and drop my cat off and they'd see him when they had time. So I should drop of my distressed cat and have NO ONE watching him for god knows how long? My cat needed immediate care and we have had to force feed him to get nutrients in him. It's been so difficult and at least someone was there for us. No thanks to LPAH. If you go to this vet, expect to have to go somewhere else when you have a sick pet. They are only good for booking appointments far in advance. Seems that they don't like dealing with actual sick animals. I'm absolutely disgusted by the service I did not receive. Go anywhere else.

We've been friends of LPAH for over 20 years. Cats have been our family members forever and most have been fortunate enough to benefit from the caring team at Lawrence Park. Our current senior, Reggie, was a rescue cat from LP, 19 years ago. While he does not necessarily ask to visit his home turf, he's extremely well treated and recognized.LPAH used to have a photo gallery of their little pals, above the files. There would not be enough room now to have pics of all the cats and dogs they've helped, but the number of files should tell the tale, as do the testimonials here. We moved from the neighbourhood 7 years ago, and there are a number of closer vets or animal hospitals. But it's not about convenience, but care, and we're very happy with the care at Lawrence Park!

Dr. Larry is AMAZING!!! He is very knowledgeable and able to explain our dog's condition in layman's terms so we can comprehend. He is very patient and compassionate and willing to answer all questions without feeling rushed. He has a great sense of humour which puts worried and neurotic parents as ease at the vet appointment. He is very professional and has a great bed side manner. He is a dog-lover and our dog gets lots of lovings from him, while she is there, which in our books gains our trust. We trust him with our dog as his approach is always "what would I do if it were my dog" . He usually takes a conservative approach, which we like because our dog is never over-vaccinated or over-medicated. Dr. Larry is our regular vet, but our dog has seen Dr. Kerry as a walk-in injury and she seems very nice as well. All the staff at Lawrence Park Animal Hospital, the RVTs and receptionists are super friendly and our dog seems to love them all. This animal hospital does courtesy phone calls and e-mails to follow up on our dog's illness or injury, to see how our dog is doing, which to us stands out from the other animal hospitals. If we ever moved out of the city, we would probably drive 5 hours to see Dr. Larry, we highly recommend Dr. Larry.Read Less

I lost my special guy a couple of months ago and before losing him, Dr. Larry, Dr. Kerry and the whole team went the extra mile coming into the clinic in the middle of the night and working through the weekend. They are a great bunch of people who cared for both my pet and I during a difficult time. I would highly recommend this clinic to any pet owners and especially for French Bulldog owners looking for an experienced Frenchie vet. Special props to Josie and Carolyn who both my dogs love to cuddle with! xxx ooo xxx Read Less

You couldn't ask for a better place to bring your pet(s). Larry and Kerry are both such kind, helpful, professional and thorough vets that display exceptional customer service on a daily basis. They truly care about the pets they see and their owners. Not to mention they often rescue dogs on their spare time, trying to find them long-term, loving homes. My husband and I wouldn't go anywhere else with our puppy, you shouldn't either :) Read Less

I can't say enough about the positive experience I always have at Lawrence Park Animal Hospital. They show genuine care for my dog Stella and always manage to fit me in if there is an emergency. Dr Tait is the doctor that I usually see and she is very thorough and explains everything. I like that regardless of the reason that I bring my dog into them, they do a follow up call 2 or 3 days after to make sure everything is ok. Great experience and I recommend them to anyone looking for a great vet in North Toronto. Read Less

When it came time to finding a vet for our new, very shy, dog, we were being very particular to say the least. After a falling out with our last vet when we had our first dog, three family friends gave the crew at Lawrence Park Animal Hospital a rave review.We have seen the ever gentle, Dr. Tate since day one with our puppy and she is wonderful! She knows exactly how to approach a very anxious dog and will adjust her demeanor to fit the dog's personality. Her team of assistants are all very kind and gentle with the animals and they do what they can do ease the stress of a vet appointment for both the animal and the owner.The clinic itself is wonderful. They try and book only one animal at a time for an appointment and if they know a pet owner needs their space (such as after losing their pet), they will do their best to ensure the office is empty both before and after that appointment. They are upfront about what they charge and I have never found that they charge for unnecessary procedures/tests. They are also flexible and will accommodate clauses/contracts the pet owner has with the person or organization where they got their pet. They do not push products on pet owners which is a nice change. All in all, I am very happy with the services my dog receives from this clinic and I  know that if I ever have a question or concern, they will be on the other end of the phone doing their best to help.

I've been pleased with the care my pet receives at Lawrence Park Animal Hospital, however they have some customer servce issues to address with one of their Receptionists.I've been a client of Lawrence Park Animal Hospital for just over 1.5 years.  My dog has been examined by both Dr. Tait and Dr. White. Both doctors have been excellent with my dog and she has not been nervous or anxious at all. Once, when I discovered ticks on my dog and was very worried, I e-mailed LPAH and received a lenghty reply from one of the doctors who obviously took a lot of time and care to reply to me. Two thumbs up!The price I was quoted for a spay was too steep for me (+$800) and so I had the procedure done out of town at less than half the cost, however their prices for regular services and check-ups are reasonable and in-line with what a pet-owner should be prepared for.Their reception, however, needs a major improvement. "Dez" (who is listed on their website) is rude and his tone is condescending and arrogant. The management at LPAH should really reconsider who they have as a first-point-of-contact. I've had the unfortunate experience of calling a number of times when he's answered. Each time I've hung up angry and frustrated with his patronizing language and inflection. He also uses the term "No worries" which is a horrible customer service term to use. Any customer should never be a worry to someone whose job it is to help them! As a customer, I should never leave feeling like what I asked for (and purchased) was an imposition to the employee who is benefitting from my business.Anyway, other staff at LPAH have been a pleasure and I'm happy to continue going there.  My advice is to call with any questions in the morning so you can avoid speaking with "Dez."

... I was always told "if you don't have anything good to say...." but I just have to.In short... just moved to Toronto awhile ago and I am looking for a new Vet for my cats. I'm very close so I stopped in to get food. VERY UNFRIENDLY and because I was not a client "yet" it was like I was looked down at. Very strange feeling it was. I thought maybe it was just a bad day for their staff.... second and third time same thing. For people that are representing a company... you should be nicer to people. While having coffee in the area I would ask people that had dogs with them about vets... 3 of 3 said don't go here! WOW! All I know is walking threw the door so far. I have 2 beautiful cats. Troy is a Bengal and Melissa my Savannah. I want to pick a fantastic vet. Friendly staff means a happy place. They have their teeth and everything else done once a year and I won't be taking them here. That is for sure. Whom ever owns this place... should have a chat with their staff when new people walk in!

We've been taking our pets here as long as I can remember. We first found Lawrence Park Animal Hospital when I was about 3. My mom wanted a cat, and Dr Larry Wilder (Dr. Larry is the BEST) said a cat in their care had kittens. We got Simba. He had to have been one of the best cats ever. The summer after we got him, Simba attacked and ate a bee's nest. Dr Larry took us in, looked Simba over, and even gave us his own number in case anything happened in the night.Currently our dog has been having some medical problems and everyone at Lawrence Park Animal Hospital has been great. They've called to check on her, to see if the meds were working and when there was an emergency and we needed to book her in ASAP, they had an appointment ready. We've never felt pressured to run tests that weren't needed or medication that wouldn't help. Dr. Larry always takes it one step at a time (which for my anxiety is a huge help), trying the easiest/least expensive test first, before jumping to the worst case scenario. He told me not to worry until he told me to.I will always take my pets here. For a vet in the city, the pricing is great.Dr. Larry is my favourite vet there, probably because we've always gone to him. However, he's not always available. So we've had to have "emergency" appointments  with some of the other vets. They've all been exceptional!!! Read Less
