We have 3 cats, and a dog that all go to AVH; we've always had a good experience with staff. They're efficient in responses/booking you in; the vets and technicians are attentive to my pets and informative on the care needed for home. I trust this clinic with my pet; for both quality physical medical care, and the emotional needs of the animal.

I had the best experience ever when I had to take my kitty there on Monday(my veterinarian was closed in Pictou and emergency calls were being sent to Halifax) I called and they said to take her right up. I was met by Dr. Youe, who is one of the most amazing and compassionate people I have had the pleasure in meeting. Tests and x-rays were taken and costs explained upfront. All my questions were answered. The next day, Bella had underwent life saving emergency surgery for a blocked bowel caused by a HAIRBALL.(She is an excessive groomer and an older kitty) Surgery was performed by Dr. Harrison, who again was amazing and answered all my questions with a full explanation... read full review

I need to take some time to express how truly greatful we are to this clinic! We had to put our baby boy down today and it was so bloody hard! The staff was so respectful and so kind to us throughout the process! They even have a room at the back so we did not have to come in through the waiting room and we had full privacy to navigate this emotional experience. Thank you all and I hope you all know how truly appreciative we are for the kindness and respect we received today. Bowie was able for cross over in the most calm environment we could have hoped for.
