If you're thinking of switching vets or are doing your research in to what vet to take your animal to, I think this review can help you a bit. We have a wonderful dog, Roxi (5), and a mischievous kitten, George (1). We have visited a few vet offices over the years. We were originally clients of another vet clinic in Charlottetown, and although the vets were wonderful and knowledgeable, they had a lot of clients and it began to feel a bit rushed when we had exams or it was har...d to get appointments. We actually had to schedule an emergency appointment elsewhere when Roxi was about 3 because there was just no availability. The reason I bring this up is because we made the switch to Abegweit shortly after, mostly due to the above issues and location was more convenient. BEST. DECISION. EVER! We had only ever been seen once for vaccinations and a yearly exam for my dog and 8 months later, I found a stone she had passed. Roxi showed ZERO signs or symptoms that anything was wrong until about 24 hours before this stone was passed. I called Abegweit to let them know that my dog had this issue and I was quite concerned. Lisa told me that she could be seen right away even though there wasn't any availability that day. I spent 3 hours at the clinic that day with Roxi as she had tests done and we found out she had 2-3 large stones and hundreds of tiny ones. I was completely devastated. If you aren't aware, stones in large breeds are not common at all and thus started our lengthy journey of getting Rox healthy. Dr. MacDonald is amazing in every sense of the word. She sent off our stones for analysis, she researched personalized treatment plans geared towards Roxi's issues with other veterinarians at Royal Canin along with consultation from other educational institutions. A specially formulated diet was recommended with the help of Royal Canin and we started it shortly after our first appointment. It has been over 4 months now and Dr. MacDonald is still giving me updates and reviewing her file frequently. I really can't speak more highly of the work Dr. MacDonald does. She truly is meant to be in this profession. Everyone in the reception, the vet techs, the other vets I've dealt with, are all fabulous. PEI has great vets and you have plenty of great clinics to pick from, but as someone that has experienced other clinics, this one is clear first choice. Thank you guys for everything you have done and continue to do for us <3 See More Read Less
