| - I am so pleased to have discovered the kind and caring team at 401 Warden Pet Hospital.
We rescued a dog from a home in our neighbourhood and had a very interested potential adopter for her, however we didn't feel comfortable letting her leave our home without being fixed. I asked for a recommendation from the wonderful folks at Speaking of Dogs Rescue (http://speakingofdogs.blogspot.ca/) whom we got our dog from, and they recommended 401 Warden. It's the vet they take the dogs in their care to. 401 Warden also extends a generous discount to the rescue - which I thought was a good sign.
Kara, the receptionist, is very lovely and helpful. The pace is not rushed and she had time to talk with us and answer our questions regarding our little rescue's spay. We dropped her off at 8:45 and she was ready to go at 5:00 pm. One thing that some people have told me is that they would prefer the dogs are kept overnight, but I think that adds to their stress and unnecessarily to the cost. The vet who saw to her was very kind and was there to speak with us when we picked her up. (I forget his name, but if anyone wants I can look at my file and find it.) I was very impressed by the cost - which included the spay, vaccines, rabies and cutting her nails - it was much less than I paid a couple of years ago for another dog's spay only! Also - the scar was impeccable. They had used stitches on the inside layers and adhesive on the outside. It wasn't even red or swollen and she didn't need a cone at all. She never licked the wound as I think it's usually the stitches that make it itchy - and there were none!
All in all, it was well worth the drive from Davenport to Scarborough. They seemed genuinely concerned about our pup and were very kind to us. I would make this my regular vet if they were local.
** An added bonus is there is an A&W across the road that serves a great breakfast.
( I want to extend my condolences to the first person to write a review for this clinic. It's very hard to lose a pet, and I do sympathize. However, I think the review was written in a moment of grief and does not accurately reflect the experience one might have at this business.)
