Toronto Veterinary Clinic

One Saturday morning this past summer, my dog must have found a wasp nest buried in the dirt when he wandered into the bushes. I had no idea this had happened until we got home and he broke out in welts from the numerous bites he had received. He was in some distress! I immediately loaded him into the car and brought him to our regular vet - only to find out there was no vet on duty on the weekend. I went down the street to another vet clinic, and found the same thing - no Saturday vet. I was getting desperate and googled local veterinarian clinics and found Yonge St Clair veterinarian. After a quick discussion on the phone, they understood it was a serious situation I was dealing with, and even though my dog wasn't a "patient", and they weren't an emergency clinic, they told me to come by anyway and they would help me. Long story short, they took us in right away and provided the needed medication to help calm my dog's reaction to the many wasp stings he received. They gave us instant relief, and quite possibly saved my dog's life! I'm forever grateful to this place and it's staff, and I can't recommend them enough.

Wonderful experience. I was impressed by the amount of time the vet took with us, not rushed through like other clinics, and I loved that they let my cats stay in a private room to avoid contact with dogs. There is clear care and thoughtfulness here, which is refreshing to see! It’s not cheap, but is comparable to other vets I called. I feel they are worth the cost.

Our dog had a peritectal fistula and was prescribed some meds here (ketoconazole, atopica). As he was having negative secondary effects, I asked Dr. Gelman several times if a prescribed food, a raw food or even handmade recipe could improve this. The answer was always negative, so I trusted the Dr and we continued with the pills. Months later I decided to change to Yorkville clinic and on the first visit they changed his food (hills w/d) and the problem was solved within 2 days. He has been totally fine since then and hasn’t had fistulas ever again, but still carries side effects (swollen gums) derived from the medication, that have nothing to do with the initial condition.
