Downtown Animal Clinic

Personally I could not say better things about this veterinary office. This clinic has provided comfort and kindness regarding our kitten Gimli. Dr.Joe is absolutely one of the best veterinarians I’ve seen and trusted with my cats. Dr. Joe is a phenomenal doctor and your animals are definitely in good hands with him. The girls at the front desk are so great very gentle and friendly and cared about my boy. overall such a great experience thank you so much to everyone at downtown animal clinic

My cat may not enjoy coming here, but I am so happy with my experiences so far. The veterinarians are very patient and knowledgeable and don't recommend unnecessary treatments that are expensive. Reception and the vet assistant are so great to deal with and I love that they do follow up calls. Another bonus is that if you adopt from the Meow Foundation, you receive a complimentary first exam. I would definitely recommend this clinic and will continue to bring my furbaby here.

I’ve had Labrador Retrievers my entire adulthood and when we moved from Toronto we found the Animal Clinic simply because it was close to where we lived. What an amazing stroke of luck this was. Our chocolate lab Jack, who was my best friend, my everyday companion and teacher to everyone to move forward always with love, and my absolute soul dog. He was about 9 years old when we first met Dr. Joe, and he guided us through the couple good years we had left, and then through the unbearable months when Jack would come in nearly every other week to get a status on how his breathing was going (he had inflammation in his lungs that made it difficult to breath). For the last two years of his life I pushed him everywhere in a cart and he walked when he wanted to and got a ride when he wasn’t up for walking, but mostly I pushed him to the river so he could enjoy his number one love, swimming. When it was time to let him go it was done with love, compassion and sensitivity; Dr. Joe made the hardest thing I have ever had to do as peaceful, respectful and as lovingly as he could for my great big hearted Jack. When I said goodbye, I knew he went painlessly, surrounded by love; there’s no one on earth I would have wanted with us more than Dr. Joe. When I left the clinic alone, I didn’t think I’d ever be able to have another dog. When I picked up his ashes, the staff gave me the most beautiful card with a sketch of a lab’s head on the front and everyone not only signed it, but wrote something lovely about their memories of Jack. They included clippings of his fur in the card. His ashes are now inside his favourite ball and the rest are in his favourite swimming hole. As it happens, I did move on (though I still miss Jack terribly) and now I take my Lab Finnegan to see Dr. Joe. This clinic was sensitive to my feelings, and memories of losing Jack, so they didn’t bring Finnegan and me to the room where Jack died when I brought him in. I can’t say enough wonderful things about Dr. Joe and his team. You will always be treated with compassion and kindness and will be charged fairly. I’m so grateful to have this clinic and Dr. Joe and wouldn’t go anywhere else, even though we no longer live close to the clinic. This is where you need to bring your fur babies; give them a try, you won’t regret it.

I have complete confidence in Dr. Joe and the staff at Downtown Animal Clinic. Dr. Joe’s gentle handling of my 2 cats is reassuring as is his expertise. I really appreciate that he does not push for unnecessary testing and lab work as I am on a fixed income and I must be careful to spend my money wisely. His kind demeanour helps my 2 nervous cats through their checkups. Highly recommend this clinic and Dr. Joe.

Joe is the best vet in this city. I have known him for 20+ years. We just lost our last dog and I’m sad that I will no longer get to see you. He is the most friendly, kind and companionate person I have meet. I would drive from any part of the city to bring my pets to him. Thank you Joe I will still refer you to all my friends

I recently took my cat Scooter to this clinic and had a fantastic experience. Dr. Joe was not only incredibly knowledgeable, but he was also very gentle and patient with Scooter. He took the time to thoroughly examine my cat and address all of my questions. I can tell that he genuinely cares about the well-being of his furry patients. The clinic itself was immaculate - very modern and the staff is very friendly. Five stars without a doubt!

I was so happy to visit DAC again for my cat Holly's annual checkup and vaccination! The doctors are professionals, the prices are affordable and the location is great! I really appreciate the polite, responsive and helpful administrators!
