These guys are really wonderful. The front desk staff were kind and responsive (I've never been offered a cup of coffee at any other vet office I've been to, and I've been to more than my fair share), and Dr. Trish Wendell, who treated our dog, Scout, was great. While our dog's ailment turned out to be minor in the grand scheme of veterinary emergency practice (a voracious beagle who may have gotten hold of a piece of a corn cob), Dr. Wendell was thorough in her examination, intelligent in her assessment, and solicitous in her explanation of our treatment options and concern for our worry. One of the things I was most struck by is how carefully they explained the financial considerations at play. They are clearly alert to the realities of pet owners who love their animals, but also may be struggling financially. We've had ample exposure to vets in our dog's eventful history, and our experience at Huronia and with Dr. Wendell definitely ranked with our most positive experiences. I recommend Huronia without reservation.
We had a terrifying and stressful emergency with our precious kitty, and the folks at Huronia were so wonderful! They stayed calm, cool and collected while I was freaking out, explained everything to me (and patiently re-explained when I needed them to repeat things) in lay terms, and walked me through all treatment options (including prices) before asking my consent. The staff did everything they could to comfort both me and my cat in such a stressful time. Yes, they are a little pricey- but this isn't your average vet clinic. Also, it was appreciated that they are up-front with their prices before you have to commit to any treatment, and I never felt pushed- the vet was excellent at trying to help me decide what was necessary given the situation, giving what I felt was very objective medical advice. For quality & compassionate veterinary care at 9pm on a Sunday night, there is no better place for your beloved pet than at Huronia!
We had to take our dog in on the weekend. It was really busy but the receptionist was very helpful and reassured us about our dog. Even though we had to wait for about an hour to see the doctor one of the other staff, a nurse i think, took an initial look at Pumpkin and checked her heart and temperature so that we knew she was ok to wait. Turned out that she'd eaten some pot from the dog park and needed to be in the hospital getting it flushed out of her system. We were nervous about leaving her overnight but the doctor sent us a picture of her looking comfortable in her kennel and that made us feel better. Thought it was a nice touch considering how busy they were. Didn't seem much more expensive than the time I had to leave her at our regular vet. Glad they were there!
My baby, best friend and heart got cancer after only 9 and a half years together and past away. One of the worst and Hardest things I had to go threw. I wish I could remember all the names of the three staff ladies that helped us. Never the less they know who they are from the pics of my Sunni. They were honest, positive, showed sympathy and most importantly for us were very confident with there verdict. They made our hard experience a easier one. Thank you Dr. Armstrong and staff for everything. You are our new got to place for when fur babies get sick. Thank you.
Unable to assist with Reptiles. All I needed was medication injections and they don't have anyone qualified to do it, I told them I can supply the medication. I needed somewhere to get injections for my animal on Sundays when all other vets are closed as part of an ongoing treatment. I cannot condone an "emergency" Vet that entirely disregards entire classes of animals that are commonplace as pets. I did not need any information or veterinary help, just an injection that takes less then 5 minutes everywhere else that happen to be closed on Sundays. I guess your emergency is only important if you own a mammal.
