The exam room is nice, I enjoy the tall chairs which allow for an owner to sit and still be close to their animal. The tech left us after taking my cat's temperature, and we sat in the exam room for a good 40 minutes before the vet came in, and she apologized and explained that she was going over his files from our previous vet, so I was very happy that she wanted a thorough understanding of him. The exam was standard, she addressed all my concerns perfectly and even made some helpful suggestions about his care. Confident this will be our new family vet.

Receptionist told me when I booked first appointment that appt's with Dr Touret are booked for 1 hour long time slots. The price is 200$ per hour plus tax and I never got more than 20- 30 mins of the 1 hour I paid for. In addition Dr Touret cut corners in my pets care despite cancer diagnosis, and me requesting tests, and put me off on multiple occasions. It appears from her reaction in consultation she didn't read chart sent over from my pet's regular vet. Nor from the Centre Vet Laval where she works out of most days. She referred me to ER at Centre Vet Laval for a serious issue, yet didn't appear to have read the resulting notes then either. Despite the cancer diagnosis, she did not listen to my concerns and brushed me off . She is detached, and lacks urgency. She claims on her Cancer Vet Montreal website to guide and support you and your pet with compassion, and empathy, through this difficult time. NOT my experience at ALL with her. Very very dissatisfied. Be Careful!!!!! My experience was she was disingenuous, and she refused to answer questions about how she handled certain issues, and denied my request for imaging tests, and then at another appointment said she didn't do them because I did not want them which is completely false. I asked multiple times at multiple appointments for imaging, and she said "not needed". But for me, it was very important when making decisions for medical care. This is my choice to make, not hers, and she denied me that. Perhaps there was something else that can be done, perhaps, I would change my mind on certain choices in care that I was leaning towards. .However, this seemed not to matter to her. This is super alarming to me, that she thinks that it is ok. I had to go to another vet, across town to have imaging to ensure to make the right medical choices for my furbaby. I honestly felt she was not 100% interested at all in helping,. This is my beloved pet, and she should be understanding of the stress a pet parent is under, with cancer diagnosis and be more willing to recommend things or give pamphlets if is too much for her to explain. Never, will I ever recommend to anyone I know with a pet. If you love your pet, please, please, please, please go elsewhere.

The reception remembers Beanie every time he comes in as a kitten would give him cuddles before his appointment time! Bo just got neutered last week and the vets were, again, immaculate. I can't stress how wonderful the level of care is here. Reception is also spot on and the techs always call and are extremely supportive and informative. I live downtown but always take an Uber to this clinic. It's worth the extra time and money.

Finally land someone on the phone a week later, make a Saturday morning appointment specifying that I need to be somewhere by noon. Appointment time of 10:40 not respected. Multiple people with 11;00 appointments for both cats and dogs seen first, walk ins seen first (non emergency) I had to leave after an hour of waiting with my pets still not treated. I had to leave my pets to have their booster shots and send a friend to pick them up, not be able to complete 2/3 of the appointment as I am not there to be shown how to trim their nails (the only reason I was waiting to clip them) nor ask for the vet's investigation of a certain coughing/sneezing behavior that's been repeating (kept video of the incidents) nor provide any in person information relevant to their check ups and other issues with their diet. At no point did the staff advise us of any anticipated delay as we say there for an hour. The service has drastically changed since I last used their services and I will be looking elsewhere for my pets' needs.

I have had pets for about 30 years, and I'm sorry that it took me so long to finally write a…read morepositive review about one of them. To be honest, I've never met a vet I didn't like, but Dr. James Rassi at the LaSalle Vet Clinic goes above and beyond. I took one of my cats recently who had some blood in her urine for an x-ray. When I entered the room with the x-ray scan on display, the technician was still in the room. I took advantage to ask her if the scans appeared normal. She said something to the effect of "well looks like she has some stones..." This freaked me out as I was terrified of my cat having bladder stones and needing an expensive & risky surgery. A minute later, Dr. Rassi walks in smiling. To be clear, he was wearing a mask, but his delight was visible regardless. In my panicked state, I snapped, "why do you look so happy... she has stones!" He quickly reassured me that in fact it was only kidney stones, something quite common with mature cats. No surgery would be needed, and she'll be fine with some additional vet food. After realizing my mistake and absorbing the good news, I was so thrilled that I could have hugged him. As mentioned earlier, I've had great vets for decades, but none quite as passionate and kind as Dr. Rassi. He is truly one of a kind and your pet would be lucky to be in his care.

Wow... I can't believe I almost didn't give this place a shot because of the other reviews. So…read morepleasantly surprised and we have found our new vet clinic for Irie!! Will definitely be comin back here for all our pet needs. We called first. I asked questions regarding starting a new file fee (0$), consultation fee (65$ per visit), and how many vets they had (3...with a 4th on maternity leave until October). I explained we had heard bad things about the owner lady vet (as per other reviews) and preferred to have a different vet than her: no problem we were told and not the slightest hint of attitude or anything. That was impressive! And a good sign. After discussing and deciding we would take a chance with this place...we called back and got an appointment for within less than an hour with Dr. Teresa Sweet (it seemed like a pretty good omen). The place is close to us, so we had a nice walk over. Entered the super clean, well organized, tiny clinic and were greeted and sat to wait. There's help urself coffee and coloring books for the kiddos. The products are surprisingly decently priced for a vet's clinic. (Ex 63$ for a super quality hypoallergenic large bag of dog chow is totally reasonable!) We were called shortly after our arrival and the technician Isabelle was absolutely fantastic with Irie. She saw Irie was nervous so right away asked us if it was ok to give her a treat...that gained points with both Irie and us! She was friendly and helpful and explained so much to us, helping us feel better that we are not to blame for poor Irie's allergies n ear infection. She also patiently showed us how to clean her ears and made sure we felt comfortable doing it ourselves. Then we met with Dr. Sweet...Irie's new vet. She was just perfect! Young but knowledgeable and so super caring and thorough! She examined Irie with tenderness and was exactly as her name: sweet, the whole time. They had many, many, many opportunities to price gauge us ...but they didn't, not once. They even asked if we wanted to pay for the infectious material to be tested or just blindly give Irie a med which may or may not treat the infection (we obviously paid to have it tested being that Irie is so sensitive to meds!). We'll be back in two weeks for a follow up and are so appreciatively happy to have found these wonderful people to care for our pets!!!

Pour l'aider à traverser sa dernière étape sur cette terre, nous avons eu la plus belle rencontre que nous pouvions imaginer. La vie a mis sur notre chemin Dr. Véronique Parent. Elle est venue à mon domicile, permettant ainsi à Léo de partir doucement, sans stress, sur moi, assise sur son sofa préféré. Dr. Parent a démontré que la mort est aussi un passage qui peut être fait en douceur, avec le respect que mérite mon Léo, que de pratiquer l'euthanasie peut aussi être un "soin" donné à son chat, Un soin, un rituel de passage de cette vie qu'il a tant aimé, à qui sait où maintenant, il est. Malgré ce que j'écris ici, je n'ai pas les mots assez Grands pour remercier et partager l'honneur que nous avons eu de connaitre Dr. Parent. J'ai une gratitude sans fin pour son travail, sa dévotion et sa douceur. Elle est incontournable. Je la recommande sans aucune hésitation. Merci Docteur, merci Véronique!

I can't say I was impressed with their business. They…read morecharge less than other vets indeed for the 1st consultation but it seems to be a marketing thing...because on the 2nd and 3rd visit they found all kind of tests to carry out and prescribed way too many meds for a pet that has been stable since the last 3 years. Admittedly my pet requires regular follow ups but I was never asked to carry out so many tests where I previously lived. And meds were kept to a minimum for the pet's sake. The doctor was not overly friendly with my pet. Previous vets I saw took their time to reassure him and ear his trust but here they were in a hurry and I almost felt like they treated him like a car to repair. To the point where he was very stressed. A few times I asked some questions about his condition but the responses I got were pretty vague. Everywhere else I have been there was the option to pay in installments but not here. They expected $500 right away (this was not an emergency, just a regular check up).When I asked if it was possible to pay in 2 installments (as I did not expect such a high fee) they looked at me like I was trying to avoid payment and made them waste their time. I had to ask for a quote before all the tests were carried out because otherwise they were just proceeding oblivious to my presence. I have owned pets all my life and dealt with many vets. These were the ones who impressed me the least. I would not go back. I do not recommend them. There are many better clinics in Montreal where they don't deal with customers with attitude and take time to discuss options/interact with your pet.

(More days, more stars- I'm a tough audience) A few months ago took in my elder cat as she was having issues scratching. She was having a reaction to antibiotics given to her for her sneezing at another vet who I couldn't reach. So I called the newly opened clinic. And, besides, this clinic was just a couple blocks away. She saw Dr Gilmour and he assessed her and gave her steroids -for a short period of time-which stopped the itching. What a relief! Today my younger cat saw Dr. Lipari. Anyone who had been a client at the Animal Health Clinic (in the good old days) would recognize her as Vicky who had been a tech. She gave my cat loads of attention and she, the cat, was thankfully OK- her eye issues seem to be due to allergies most probably, nothing inherently wrong. Her eye pressure was taken, and her blood pressure (anything cuter than seeing the little band on the arm?). Chloe the tech helped and was a pleasure. (Not to be confused with Chloe who is a receptionist and great at getting back to you.) The clinic is lovely and neutral and calming. Highly recommend.

This is something I have heard from multiple clients. Make sure you always ask what something costs before you go ahead with it.
