Due to COVID you have to wait in your vehicle while staff takes your pet inside but I wouldn’t go anywhere else. I had just adopted a kitten from the Halifax Human Society (buyer beware) and a few days later this poor kitten was sneezing about 15 times in a row and I know that they need their sleep at this age but he was so sick that he was super lethargic and slept all day and night. I took him to Driftwood Animal Hospital mainly because of the location to my home and they had a same day appointment available. My new pet was extremely sick with a severe upper respiratory infection and an ear infection. The staff told me over the phone that they had been seeing a lot of sick animals from the Halifax Humane Society. The staff was very friendly and professional and the vet prescribed him an antibiotic, ear drops and something to help with his immune system. I’m going to be taking him there from now on and I didn’t have to pay an arm and a leg either. The wait wasn’t very long and there was about five other cars with their pets. Everything was explained thoroughly to me about how to give the medicine and after only two days he was playing and getting into everything like a normal kitten. Thank you so much for everything!

Dr Henderson is very knowledgeable about animal medical care. She listened to me about my concerns for my cat to ensure I was given all options for care and comfort. He is 15 years old. Every day with him is a gift.

*I had to take my dog in during the whole Corona Virus thing and they had precautions up so that we could not go inside, so my review is only what I experienced outside the office. They were able to take me at the last minute to get my dog, Bella looked at. She is a 12 year old pitbull that has not been herself lately, didn't want to walk, or do much, except lick her feet and knees. I thought she might be hurting, and we had just moved across the country and she had to travel for 4 days in our sprinter van (several weeks prior) and she just wasn't adjusting like i thought she should. They made us stay in our vehicles (under a big shady tree, thank God) and a clerk came out with a paperwork sheath, luckily I only needed to fill out one sheet. They came back out to get the paperwork and then came back out again to take Bella. A strong gal took her out of the car for me as I was wondering how I would get the old girl out by myself. They took Bella in and then about 15 min later a nice young vet fellow came out to chat and let me know what was going on. He suggested some meds for her for her pain, as she has arthritis, and some allergy meds as she is very sensitive to seasonal allergies. He also mentioned a bump on top of her heard that I knew had been there a while and he suggested doing a quick biopsy of it. I said go ahead and do it. So in another 15 min (I brought a book) they brought Bella back with a bag of things for me. The vet tech explained the use and frequency of the meds and presented me with a bill. The bill was so reasonable, I was surprisingly happy to have found this place as we are new to the area. I highly recommend this place from the perspective I have today, If I go back in, and the waiting room is a mess or I get treated rudely, then I will re submit another review. But I was as happy as possible during this stressful time to have found them. I saw another review that said "run don't walk away..." I am a real person who had not even read any reviews prior to using this facility. I normally read reviews first but I was in a hurry. I am glad I didn't read that review because I may have been biased a bit. I don't work at the facility, I am retired :)
