Went for the first time today with our new cat. Very attentive, very thorough, no rushing, very interested in the animal. We just moved to Collingwood, so we will be taking our 2 dogs to this office as well.

Great people. They were fantastic with my puppy, and the follow-up was nice to see. My son takes his dog there as well and loves it,

My dog was in dire straits. I was actually advised by a Floridian vet that the kindest action would be to have him put to sleep. Several of our vets in Toronto and Collingwood accurately described his condition but were unable to stabilize him with their course of various medications and advice. One vet positively aggravated his condition. Dr. Ardiel's diagnosis was in line with all the other clinicians' but took a totally different course of action. My once 'in extremis' dog is now positively thriving and loves going to see her both in Collingwood and Meaford. She is thorough , professional and kind, and has the knowledge and experience of how to handle a very sick dog. It is my belief that your dog couldn't be in better hands!

My wife Cindy and I have been clients with Balsam Veterinary in Collingwood for over 7 years now with our Labrador Retriever, Riley. They are consummate professionals and have always treated all of us with respect and compassion. We always say we never worry about Rileys' health due to the wonderful capabilites of Balsam Veterinary and Dr. Ardiel and her entire staff. We are always confident Riley is in excellent hands as a patient of Balsam Veterinary office and highly recommend them to take care of any of your pets. They also offer excellent grooming facilities so go ahead and work with them you are in "Great Hands".

Amazing and compassionate care from all the staff as they helped us to say goodbye to our beautiful chocolate lab - they were caring, professional & empathetic, helping to make that difficult experience special for our family. Thank you.

The team at Balsam is absolutely wonderful! Our elderly cat got sick suddenly and I desperately needed to take her to a vet. I called Balsam and Lauren was super understanding and sweet and arranged some time for that same day with Dr. Ardiel. From the moment I spoke to Lauren, I could tell that I would be taking my cat to a team that cared deeply for her well-being. Throughout the treatment, Dr. Ardiel was caring, informative, knowledgeable and understanding. Lauren was speedy at responding to emails and organizing next visits, as well as demonstrating genuine care for my cat. The whole team showed great expertise and true humane caring for both my cat and ourselves during a difficult time. I highly recommend Ardiel Animal Hospital and Balsam Veterinary Office to all pet owners in Georgian Bay!
