Harbourview Animal Hospital

If you want the best possible care for your beloved pets then I would highly recommend Dr. Lahey. The facilities at Harbourview are very impressive. Dr. Lahey and her team truly care about their patients. Dr Lahey has treated my senior dog Winston for the past year. She has even gone the extra mile when she made an after hours house call to attend to Winston. When Winston needed boarding she brought him to her own home for the weekend to make sure he had company. I value a veterinarian that cares for my pet as much as I do. That is a priority for me.

Extremely disappointed! Be aware... all they care is how much money they can get from you! They tried so hard to do an unnecessary procedure on my kitty . Please get a second opinion before doing anythung there.

Absolute rip off! In my opinion, this is the financial office and not a Veterinary. Due to entry you have to pay 2 or 3 times more than you should. She quotes me $1,800 plus tax for a few stitches. Two blocks away other vet did it for $550, tax included. She always finds a way to charge you up. NEVER GO TO THIS PLACE AGAIN. (one star is only for reception)

I'm very surprised about the reviews on here. I either find reviews to be very positive or negative however I'm somewhere in the middle. I actually went to Harbourview due to the great Google reviews and the location. First of all, the front desk staff is fantastic and I have nothing bad to say about them. Julie Lahey is another story. Our dog went there for various check ups, shots, procedures etc. and my husband and I found Julie to be a bit cold and direct. Having said that I do think she gave out dog good care which is why we stayed. After my husband went a couple times he suggested we look else wear as he found Julie rude and in a rush to get us out. We also started to feel like she was pushing us for more procedures to get money out of us. I spoke with an acquaintance who brought her cat there and she said the same thing. Our most recent experience involved our dog jumping into a cactus with over 200 spikes in her and then she went into heat early prior to her spay date. I called reception and Julie actually answered so I explained what happened and said I assume we can't go forward with the spay date as she will be in heat for 2-4 weeks. I also mentioned I did a lot of research and most people suggested waiting 3 months after her heat because her hormone levels will return to normal. Julie was very short and told me to bring her in on her scheduled date which was less than 2 weeks away. She very clearly told me I was wrong and that she's the vet. She then said she has someone else on the line and would be hanging up. I proceeded to call 4 additional vets on the North Shore including Mosquito Creek, Lynn Valley, and Ambleside and ask their opinion in the waiting time. Every single one said 3 months no questions. That combined with her lack of empathy and rudeness was enough for my husband and I to change vets.

Dr. Lahey and Mantler are great. The oral hygiene program is exceptional. My dog's teeth cleaning was so well done and the post care home program recommended works is an easy routine to follow. I highly recommend this clinic.
