Dr. Marsig and the entire team is absolutely fabulous. They cared for both our dogs throughout their lives. Dr. Marsig is also Fear Free certified, which is great news for pet parents who don't want to use aversive methods with their animals. Read Less

This is an unfortunate review because it really shouldn't reflect the support staff at this hospital, but rather the disgusting excuse for a veterinarian, Dr. Marsig. I've been coming to the Animal Hospital of Unionville for the past three years - everyone at the hospital loves my dog and is always very excited to see him. He has been there a lot lately, he has had 2 TPLO surgeries on both hind legs starting in January. The surgeon who performed the surgery did an amazing job and I would highly recommend her. However, upon follow-up after the second surgery the veterinarian became very aggressive with my dog. 10 days after surgery we came in to have his stitches removed and the vet wrestled my dog (who just had TWO leg surgeries) to the ground. When my dog yelped with pain and tried to wiggle his way out of his grasp, the vet asked for further backup because he wasn't satisfied trying a more gentle approach (which is how we removed his first set of stitches). They finally got the dog calm and decided he needed to be sedated for another week to ensure he was healing correctly, I agreed. The vet prescribed my 39kg dog three, 25mg pills to be consumed all at once and only once per day. His appointment was late on Friday so I decided to give him his first round of sedatives early Saturday morning. My dog was sedated to the point of unresponsiveness and when I called the vet Saturday afternoon to express my concern I was told "he's fine" and "that's completely normal". My dog continued to be so drugged he was unable to stand for over 24hrs. He did not get up to eat or relieve himself in the backyard due to the fact that if he stood he would fall over from extreme dizziness. On Monday I expressed my concern with the vet and all he could offer was his apologies and stated that maybe that dose was a bit much. Today I took my dog for his four week follow up to ensure that his joints are moving well and everything is healing according to plan. Unfortunately Dr. Marsig continued to be aggressive with my dog who is still healing from a very extensive leg surgery. He, again, wrestled my dog to the ground while the nurse tried to hold him still. My dog, again, yelped continuously in pain, tried to escape from the vets hold and eventually nipped him. Dr. Marsig in a fit of rage grabbed the muzzle and again tried to wrestle my dog to the ground, I pled with the vet to get him to stop and try to give him a treat so he wouldn't get scared while he examined him and he refused. He continued to pin my dog down while he yelped in pain and tried to escape the vets grip. I ended up leaving in complete disgust while Dr. Marsig chased me out trying to apologize for the way things went down. I had looked past the first incident and complete disregard for my dogs healing legs and even looked past the fact that he drugged him past the point of coherence for more than a day, I wasn't willing to look past this incident. If this is the treatment animals receive in front of their owners, imagine the treatment they receive behind closed doors. In case this review isn't enough to deter you from this hospital - just ask the support staff that witnessed the owner of the hospital's behaviour with my dog on more than one occasion. Read Less

Have been dealing with them since they first opened their doors. Beagles, Airedales, Bouviers des Flandres and Lagottos with the occasional mixed thrown in. Spayed or neutered, repaired knees, porcupine quills to International Travel Documents they have done it all it seems in 30 odd years. What's best is the friendly family like atmosphere with dedicated professionalism. And if a bath and clip is order they arrange that as well. We are extremely happy and satisfied. Afterall, do you take your kids just anywhere. Read Less

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

Dr. Marsig is a miracle worker! Our little Righley cat is a handful, to say the least, when he has to go to the vet. We heard the comment "Remember the dinosaur on Jurassic Park? Yea...." haha Dr. M always handles him with care and respect. He knows how to handle difficult patients and always makes us feel comfortable even when our little monster isn't. I love this vet clinic and would recommend them to everyone! :) Read Less

Thank you to the entire staff of the Animal Hospital of Unionville for making my first appointment a positive experience. The receptionist was friendly and made my pet and me feel welcome. The doctor was knowledgeable and provided helpful recommendations for my pet. The veterinary assistant explained my options before proceeding with any procedures. My pet was loved and well taken care of during his first veterinary visit. :-) Read Less

We have been going to the animal hospital of Unionville for over 15 years. The reason we keep coming back (2 cats, 2 dogs over the years) is because they are sincerely interested in our animals and in our family. They care enough to tell you too when we are about to make a bad decision. Dr. Marsig told us when we should not continue trying to save our Tasha and as hard as it was, he was right. He was very compassionate on our last appointment with her. The place is clean but not pompous, they know their craft well, sometimes they are running a bit late, which we see as a good sign. They are busy. Fees arent cheap, but fair, because they never rush us and they are always thorough. They call us for all results and the doctors are spending quite a bit of time with us on the phone for free. You get what you pay for. Read Less
