It's a lot to think about with these two! Also kidney disease cat doesnt use a litter box, so picking up random poo and pee pads is done without complaint. She also recently squeezed us in at the last minute on a holiday long weekend for a night away, our big thanks for that! We are beyond pleased, and happily recommend Petra for your cat sitting needs.

A bit of background - this review is based on 8 years spent finding a GOOD vet for my GSD Service…read moredog who was finally diagnosed with Lupus and Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency after FIVE other vets failed him, so I have some experience with truly GOOD vets, vets who just want my money, bad vets, and everything between. I didn't love my first experience with this clinic, but I don't judge on first impressions. A second visit resulted in no diagnosis but basically a 'throw-spaghetti-at-the-wall' approach, and a running stream of condescending comments (and I found the solution myself). I have 2 pets that saw them, and they got their immunizations mixed up, so even now I don't know if they gave the right ones to the right animals; when I questioned it, more condescension. Called to book a spay after my female went into heat. Brought my female in for spay, (5 & a half months old) and was told it was impossible for her to have gone into heat. If anyone's ever seen a cat go into heat, it's impossible to miss. At any rate, after being berated for not knowing that cats 'don't go into heat before 6 months of age and never at this time of year,' surgery went well, sent home w/o pain meds, but seemed to be on the mend, sleeping almost constantly. 2 days later threw up and stopped eating. It was a weekend so took her to an urgent care clinic. She got fluids, anti-nauseant shot, and appetite stimulant. Called Crossing Bridge next day. Was told she needed to be admitted for four days of care, that she must have eaten non-food item. Explained that she'd had fluids last night, had been sleeping constantly, and there wasn't anything in my room for her to get into. Was then told I could syringe feed her (as the vet the previous night had said) and if she was no better the next day, she'd need to be admitted, and if I didn't admit her, she was going to take my cat. I don't know if she thought I was young and naive (people mistake me for a teenager even tho I'm 47) but I was shocked by this very forward, flippant comment. Final straw. I'm not an outspoken individual, and am only posting a review because of my concern with a vet that's this condescending and berating; my experiences with a dog that literally cost me tens of thousands of dollars in surgeries and vet visits have taught me to question when things don't sound right - I don't mind spending money on my animals when it's essential, but we weren't at the point of admission yet. With the urgent care clinic also questioning several of the things Crossing Bridge did/did not do, and the threat to 'take my cat from me,' I became concerned about this clinic. A less informed individual could spend a small fortune with the throw-spaghetti-at-the-wall approach; I need a vet that listens to the whole story, and tells me the whole story, and one who takes a more systematic approach to diagnosis and treatment. I'm sad to have to post this review. Oh, and we just came back from a second visit to their new vet (the urgent care cinic) where an x-ray revealed that she was just badly constipated. *next morning update - all better - she had a long night in the cat litter, but she's eating again and back to her normal happy self!

I brought my Chow, Mei-Ling (baby) there since she was 8 months old. She had some medical problem threw her life which expertly looked after by everyone at this Clinic. When Baby (my best friend) had a stroke in September 2015 they were very compassionate and didn't rush my decision. I receive a hand written sympathy card with everyone's comments which really helped my grieving my best friends passing. If I decide to get another dog (best friend) I'll be bringing her to The Crossing Bridge Veterinary Clinic!!

It's not a huge place but I like the selection. Price is.. well, on par with every other pet place as our fur babies are not cheap! Love the parking/location, huge lot and in a plaza where there are many other useful services.

I toured 3 other places before choosing Dragonluck. My dog was rescued from a puppy mill and has severe separation anxiety and housebreaking issues...It is hard to put into words what Dragonluck has done for his rehabilitation! Dawn spent a lot of time teaching him to stay close to her when off-leash (greyhounds tend to take off so this is an accomplishment). After we had been sending him three times per week for a couple of months, we noticed an incredible difference In his behaviour and confidence. Dawn is very flexible and happy to take the dogs whenever is needed and with little notice. She has a tremendous amount of knowledge and is happy to share it because she really loves all of her clients. The property is large and there is a place for them to swim and play, and it's all well fenced. My dog loves going here and starts dancing in the back seat as soon as we turn into the driveway. The price is very reasonable! I don't hesitate to recommend Dragonluck to anyone. Dawn and her helpers are wonderful!

Having never been before we decided to make a holiday of it and take our motorhome and of course Cooper(our puggle) came with us. After searching for a kennel online we happened to contact Dawn at Dragonluck Kennels. Not only did she help us with our questions and helped make our choice to use dragonluck, she went above and beyond. We emailed back and forth with her replies being quick not leaving me waiting. Originally Cooper was going to just use the daycare for a few hours the day of the wedding, however plans changed and he ended up on an overnight. In order to allow us to sight see the next day before leaving Ottawa, she offered to deliver Cooper to us at our campground, saving us a trip back out to the kennel (at least 1/2 hour away). Cooper was in fine spirit and didn't seem to have any anxiety over being away from us. And he ate!!! That is incredible in itself. As he is 11+ years, he has developed some separation anxiety when in strange environments. Apparently not at Dragonluck. Dawn and the staff get a huge thumbs up from us, Great experience. The location is A-1 also - cant go wrong with the country feel!! Needing a kennel for your furry pet for a few hours or overnight, call them up - you wont regret it!! ~Sheila & Lonney~
