Would like a little more aggressive care for my animal, such as old age care, kidney failure care, etc... I found the attitude is that “ oh well, it’s expected with age.” As well well I found lack of compassion when my pets died, most vets send a card or call to say something. We take our animals and trust them to your care for over 12 years. We like as customers, to know our animals were important to you as well. I

I have had Shar Pei dogs (9 total) for over 25 years and I have used at least 10 vet clinics over the years and Dr. Langill is by far the best vet I have ever met! I wish I had known about him a long time ago but I live in Ottawa so I only found out about this clinic when I adopted one of my Shar Peis from the Merlin's Hope Chow/Shar Pei dog rescue (I highly recommend this rescue if you are adopting a Chow or a Shar Pei). Dr. Langill so obviously cares for his patients and I trust him completely with the care of my furry dependants; he is very knowledgeable & competent. Not only is Dr. Langill the best, but his staff is also awesome. The drive from Ottawa to Montreal is well worth it in my opinion & my recommendation for Dr. Langill & his clinic is the highest possible...5 out of 5 on all possible counts!!

My vet was away so I went to this vet on a friends recommendation. I found him very rushed and abrupt. I was told my dog had an enlarged prostate and I needed to get him castrated right away. I was there because my dog wasn't eating and had been vomitting. I inherited the dog from my mother in law when she went into a home, otherwise my dog would have been neutered long before. He hadn't been neutered before because I was told he was too old. Dr Langill told me it would be fine and to pick him up in the morning. The next morning I was told the dog was in pain and suffering and they found a mass on his spleen. Dr Langill had to go so I could come get my dog or put him down. I didn't even get to see him or say goodbye because I couldn't leave him in pain. I was left in tears, regretting allowing him to be neutered. I never found out if he could have been saved. I feel awful that he was put in unnecessary pain and suffering. I was given false hope and that is the worst part.

Thank you so much Dr. Langill !
This is the best vet ever. The prices are way below average but the service is excellent. The staff is ethical and compassionate. The facilities are not ultra modern, but who need that ? The first vet we met told us it would be a minimum of 1200 $ for the operation. Since we couldn't afford it, we postponned the operation. How I would have like to know before this clinic would do it for only 580$ (everything included, night stays and all). Also, they offer the option to pay by installement which make a big difference for a lot of people out there. Yes, Mr. Langill can seems a bit in a rush sometimes because he is very busy but I think he is just the type of straight to the point man. I guess our dog had a good time there because when we got back for a follow up and she was just happy to go back ! I have no words to say how GRATEFUL we are. Thank you ! Thank you ! Thank you ! We sure will go back to this clinic.

I have visited Dr. Langill when my golden retriever was about 3 and a half months. I found that he really rushed into everything he did. He didn't seem to really care and when I asked him questions he answered them in an annoyed manner. I was a new dog owner and I had questions that needed answers. I felt as though I was annoying him so I stopped asking questions (which was dumb of me to do because I was paying him for the service). The reason I think he was annoyed was because he had many other patients waiting for him but it gives him no reason to rush. I was seriously in there for less than 20 mins and when I got to the counter, I had a bill of 150$ which I found ridiculous (for 2 shots!). I ended up still making another appointment but I never got a call back to confirm it so I didn't end up going to the appointment. Now my golden and I are happy, we found an amazing vet that is FAIR in their rates and cares just as much as I do for my pup.

I found Dr. Langill several years ago through this website and have had nothing but positive experiences ever since. I have taken my cat and my dog to the clinic on multiple occasions and both the doctor and the staff have always been extremely helpful. The prices are very fair, and unlike many of the other vets we've been to, Dr. Langill does not perform unnecessary tests just to inflate the price. In fact, the clinic waived off our fees several times when we went in for minor consultations. I am convinced that this is a clinic that puts its customers and their pets first. My family and I are very impressed so far.

I have been to see Dr. Langill a few times and every time has been a disaster. He doesn't seem to care for the animals, your pet is just another number. He's over booked and rushed and that's unacceptable. He's too quick to give a sedative to the animals before even really knowing what's going on. Anytime I've asked questions, he's always given a wishy washy answer. He never gives a straight answer. As for the rest of the staff, I never experienced any problems with them. They were always good to me and my animals. I would warn anyone who goes here! The prices are lower but so is the quality......you get what you pay for. If you love your furry family member, go somewhere else

I've brought my dogs to Liesse Animal Clinic for all kinds of health issues from routine annual check-ups to cancer. I love Dr. Langill's straight forward approach, especially when tackling the big problems.

Boxer ulcer eye operation in Ontario was quoted at $1500.00. Dr. Bob Langill is a wonderful vet who cares so much about the welfare of his animal patients and charges a fraction of the price of the specialists. Extremely happy with the surgery he did on my boxer.

Had an elderly dog and a cat euthanized, as well as some standard shots etc. and the service was excellent, we weren't gouged for extra tests. The euthanizations were done in manner that gave the impression that the staff genuinely cared about the animals (and their young human friends).

Wish there was an EXCELLENT rating. Dr. Langill is a wonderful vet who does not take advantage of people, on the contrary. He is a no-nonsense man and not there for social reasons, but he quickly realizes when someone really cares about their animal(s). Having had a vet just like him before (the good old no-nonsense clinic where $ signs are not all that counts), then the crazy new-fangled clinic type where you don't see the same vet twice and pay a fortune for ordinary care), I am so thankful to the friend who told me about how great he is. Doctor Langill's staff is absolutely great. The facilities are no more, no less than I want (am not looking for an expensive spa). Doctor is always available for emergencies. My shelter cat came with many problems and there were follow-up visits that were not charged. When the staff is not rushed, we have a great time. Doctor is not there to socialize, but when I can, I try to get him to smile or laugh - I just love this place.

We went to see Dr. Langill when we adopted our dog, because I've seen many good comments about him. But both me and my husband didn't like Dr.Langill. We told him beforehand that this is our first dog, and we have a lot of questions. But after 2 min he started to rush us out, saying "I don't have time for you". When I told him about the food our dog eats, his reaction was "Never heard about it, so it's not good". Aother note - his medications are overpriced - we paid ~$67 for the heartworms med, and later I've seen the same med for $30. Overall, we won't be going to see this doctor again. (But his secretary Linda is amazing!)

Dr Langill has been my Vet for over 20 years...He's all about the welfare of the animals and providing the best quality care at a resonable cost. He's available for emergencies (and in a multi dog household, trust me, there can me emergencies outside normal operating house) He tells it like it is, no sugar coating, doesn;t order unnecessary testing or lab work. He is always open to suggestions and really listens to concerns. I will not take my animals anywhere else

Dr. Langill is exceptional. I have had many vets over several years and he is by far the best and his costs are by far the least. I made an emergency visit at midnight on New Years to the DMV animal hospital because my dog was having trouble breathing. They did X-rays and found fluid around the lungs. I asked if they used lasix to remove it, to which they said this was not effective when the fluid was around, instead of in, the lungs. They punctured in three places to remove the fluid and 12 hours later I brought the dog home at a cost of $900. We were warned that the problem would return. When it did, we brought the dog to Dr. Langill and he gave the dog a shot of lasix and three hours later he was fine. The cost for the visit, shot and a week of lasix pills was $40.00 instead of $900.00. He has been our vet now for 20 years and he is excellent!!!

Dr. Langill & his father before him have been our families vet for over 50 years. Dr. Langill is EXTREMELY fair with his prices & Linda & the rest of the staff go out of their way to provide care to your pets. In December, my 4 year old Boxer had to be put down after Dr. Langill tried everything he could & he went above & beyond. I called every day & Dr. Langill himself gave me an update. Dr. Langill charged me the boarding rate for Sheba to stay at the hospital & NEVER did I feel like I was being taken advantage of. They were absolutely amazing & careing & gentle & understanding during a terrible time. You will NEVER have to worry if you pet is in their care!!!
