 12/9/20   5     5     5     5   Best decision taking our dog to West Brant. Staff are very kind and Dr. Harkness is amazing! . Due to COVID, we had to remain outside, which was hard but felt reassured after speaking to staff before they took him in. After examination Dr. Harkness came outside, on a damp and drizzly day, and spent at least 20 minutes talking with us. He has even called to follow up. Excellent care from this veterinary hospital.

 9/3/20   5     5     5     5   We have been with other clinics before and the West Brant Animal Hospital surpasses them all in friendly caring staff who treat your pet as they would their own family. Services are top notch and we've never felt over charged or pushed into any procedures. I recommend them to anyone with feline or canine children :) RID: 69508

 9/3/20   5     5     5     5   Cost is hard on me although I would say they are probably par with other vets. I almost feel like family here at West Brant RID: 69507
Click to report rating    7/8/20   5     5     5     5   I’ve visited the clinic twice, with both my cat and dog. I brought my dog is as an emergency after another vet struggled me off. My dog received amazing and immediate care (just like my cat did the first time I was in). When I called I was told the new ER appointment wasn’t for another 4 hrs but to come in right away and I would be a ‘sit and stay’ meaning they would get to him when they had a chance. I expected to have to wait for awhile but upon arrival he was taken in right away and within 15 minutes they had called me to discuss care. I’m extremely happy with the staff and treatment my dog received. RID: 69376
Click to report rating    4/8/20   5     5     4     4   Excellent care, great staff. Money wise I guess all vets pricing are the same or close to it. I would recommend West Brant to anyone. My dogs like them as well so we will remain clients. RID: 69165

We are never rushed when asking questions about my senior aged dog.He checks up after a few days by phone and will always return a phone call with more questions from us. He always tries to find a way to keep cost down and never recommends procedures, meds etc that arent needed. We completely trust Kevin with our dog. He is very knowledgeable!The girls at the front desk are friendly and helpful.The vet techs have also been great!Do not hesitant about bringing your pet to this clinic. RID: 68954

 12/29/18   5     5     5     5   The staff at West Brant Animal Hospital were exceptional. They took good care of our fur baby and were very patient with us as we had several questions for them. It was a difficult experience for us bringing in our cat, but the staff and Dr. Amy Butler especially made it bearable for us. I Would highly recommend this animal hospital to anyone and everyone as their dedication and car is unmatched. RID: 67164
Click to report rating    12/13/18   5     4     4     5   We have been going to West Brant for many years and have visited many times for both routine checkups and vaccinations to more major issues. Every time we have had the best care given our dogs. The care of the vet techs is outstanding and the knowledge and care of the vets cannot be beat. once instance was one of our dogs "ate" something while on a walk and developed a stomach issue with vomiting and diarrhea. It was a serious issue but our little Sadie came through just fine. Highly recommend this vet clinic/hospital. RID: 67114

 9/13/18   5     5     5     5   We came to the WBAH after a very bad experience with another local vet clinic. We have always been impressed with how great they treat our scaredy cats. They are calm and patient with the pets and excellent with the owners too. Most vets just push the food that they sell but WBAH was very understanding of our desire to feed as holistic and species appropriate as possible, which is huge to us and rare to find. RID: 66782

 8/14/18   5     5     5     5   I cannot say enough good things about this animal hospital. By far this is the most compassionate, caring and patient hospital I have ever had the pleasure of treating my animals. You just know some hospitals are there purely for the money and other are truly there for the pets. This hospital is not just there for the animals but just as caring towards the owners. Unfortunately I recently had to have my cat Duck put down. We came in at the end of Dr Amy Butlers work day and at no time did we feel rushed. She took her time with us, explaining everything. She did not pressure us in any way. Dr Amy Butler than gave us all the time we needed to say goodbye. I would never go anywhere else. Not only are they extremely invested in the pets and owners but their prices are the most reasonable I’ve seen anywhere. If you need a life long caring vet and staff look no farther. The Techs are just as wonderful as the vets. I’ve dealt with Dr Butler and Dr Donna Ho and am beyond pleased with both. RID: 66643

The vets are genuine and honest and they give a discount for bringing multiple pets in at a time. I trust them all and after a decade of going to another veterinary clinic I had no idea what good care was until I came here. RID: 66575

The only small complaint I have is that when arriving at clinic to reception desk, sometimes the reception staff do not acknowledge with a hello or smile. Heads are down at computers.I believe in customer service, it is alway important to acknowledge customer and make them feel welcome. This is not a reflection on all staff, they have been mostly friendly, zccomodating and willing to help. RID: 61917

When I took him in the vet determined his problem very fast. Even though it was a very rare problem the experienced vet knew what it was right away. My boy is doing so much better now. The vet himself also personally called me a couple days later to check up on his condition, which to me was awesome. Extremely happy with them. I would strongly recommend this vet clinic to anyone and there 4 legged companion. RID: 61895

Yes, it is a longer visit; on the other hand it was not a struggle; vet did not need an assistant in the room. So I did find this be an overcharge. RID: 60488

 12/30/15   5     4     5     4   I had an emergency during Xmas holidays. Our dogs had been to a dog show and contracted kennel cough or some canine influenza which lead to Pneumonia on a couple of them ... the clinic made time for me to bring my kids in ASAP to see Dr. Donohue, to receive treatment and medication, very last minute appointment and the Vet was willing to go over treatment options and explain everything to me (a few times). The next day I was still worried about a couple, so the vet techs even got in touch with the same vet, at home, to answer my question, so I would not worry. This clinic is also "breeder" friendly. Prices were comparable or better than most area vets. I'm happy to say my kids are recovering nicely, as a result of the care they received. RID: 59368

 11/19/15   5     5     5     5   My puppy needed to be neutered. I am from Oakville but am moving to Brantford next month so I decided to try a new vet. I have been with my vet in Oakville for over 10 years with prior pets and have nothing bad to say about them. Except the price. I can't believe the difference in cost for the same operation. Well, being Oakville, I guess I can. So we tried West Brant since we were looking to switch once we made the move. What a GREAT choice. I never realized the service I was missing in Oakville. There I would drop my pet and pick him up. At West Brant I was welcomed by friendly smiles and was involved in the whole process of what was going to happen over the next 24 hours. I not only spoke with the front desk, but also the technician and the vet! What a concept! They made us feel right at home. They have a new client going forward. I don't know much about Brantford but if this service is indicative of Brantford life and its people then I can't wait for the move! THANKS RID: 59008

They were just awesome, and weren't judgemental at all (which I know can sometimes prevent people from bringing their animals in altogether, as I've visited many a vet who made me feel awful about things that were out of my control). Hands down the best vet experiences I have ever had, even when it's just a trip to get his nails done. RID: 58916

 10/29/15   5     5     5     5   When my vet of 35yrs retired. The new owners changed a number of things, that were not to my satisfaction. The deal breaker was my waiting for fifteen minutes, while the receptionist determined whether I could have Advantage for my dog! My first visit to West Brant Animal Hospital was by referral of a friend. The friendly, on time, visit with Dr. Kevin Harkness, and the staff, was more than I expected. The bottom line cost, was less than expected!! My first impression couldn't be better, and I won't hesitate to recommend them to others. RID: 58831

They also advised us of what options we had when our cat developed an eye ulcer, as well as the approximate prices. We had a ton of questions about his condition, and Dr. Jessika answered them all very patiently and was very informative. A great clinic with convenient hours for people who work weekdays - you can't go wrong with this place! RID: 58627

We didn't wait long in there either. A vet tech came in and gave Squeakers a quick once over, and then we had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Carol. She examined him and gave him his shots. She was quick doing so and I even wonder if Squeakers noticed. Best comment I can make is from Squeakers himself...he purred the entire time Dr. Carol has handling him!

The Doctors and staff there have always given my pets the best possible care and service. I have been required to part with 2 of my dogs during the last 7 years and both I and my pets have been afforded the greatest care and consideration during these most difficult times. The Doctors and Staff go above and beyond with their professional treatment. I now have a new addition to my family, a Border Collie pup and she just loves all the Doctors and Staff at the Hospital and they have all fallen in love with her. I simply cannot state in a few sentences how much I appreciate the people at the West Brant Animal Hospital. Doctors Harkness and Donohoe are the best.I have recommended them to all of my friends and family who have animals. RID: 56946

 2/20/15   5     5     5     5   I’ve been seeking health care for my dog at West Brant Animal Hospital for years. The Veterinarians are very knowledgeable on a wide range of subjects as I found out when my Golden Retriever was diagnosed with a very rare skin condition. The clinic is kept orderly and clean, and although they take their positions very seriously, they provide a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere for the owners and pets. Their non-invasive as possible approach to surgery and treatment is also a huge plus. (They use laser surgery when possible, and no unnecessary testing or medications.) At WBAH, animal health comes first, providing additional programs such as weight loss challenges and dermatology referrals. The clinic also routinely takes part in fundraising activities for the SPCA. Although I cannot put a price on my dogs’ health, I do find the prices very fair. If you are in the market for a Veterinarian, consider giving West Brant Animal Hospital a call. RID: 55956

They have bent backwards to help my pets. Facilities are up to date with the latest diagnostic equipment and they are affiliated with an after hours clinic that provides 24/7 veterinarian support. I find their costs to be fair. We have used other vets in other cities and their prices are in line with what other vets charge. We shopped neutering for a stray cat and found their prices were similar if not better than other vets in Brantford. My husband and I highly recommend West Brant Animal Hospital! RID: 53562

Click to report rating    3/14/14   5     5     4     5   I have been dealing with this clinic since they opened! My 9 year old Rotti has been a patient since she was 4 mos every year faithfully for her annuals+ and I have always had the same treatment despite the upgrades the clinic has recently undergone. Yes, sometimes I wait a bit longer in the room when they are busy, but its WORTH THE WAIT! The Staff are welcoming and remember who I am and my pets. The prices are FAIR and I truly feel that Dr. Richards and Dr. Harkness are true animal lovers. I trust they would always do what is best for my pets, even if it means referring to Guelph for a surgery. In July I lost my older dog, a lab x, 14.5yrs to heart failure and Dr.Richards was so compassionate about her euth, she even came outside to my jeep because my old rescue girl was scared of the clinic setting. I will ALWAYS remember her compassion. I love the wonderful relationship I have with my vets and I send anyone who asks me in that direction because I would trust them with my own life. RID: 50491

It might not be Dr Jesika's fault our cat died, and she did try to help her, but we just felt she pushed for money. Dr Kevin Harkness always keeps cost in mind and is awesome with our pets.

Click to report rating    4/14/13   5     5     4     5   We went to West Brant pretty much from its opening day. Dr. Kevin Harkness, Dr. Carol Richard, and the rest of the staff are really genuine, wonderful people. Dr. Harkness never ordered or charged us for unnecessary tests. He treated my Scooby, Mr. Grey, Murphy, Schultz and Ella (dogs and cats). I can't say enough about how much I respect Kevin, and he will honestly refer you if there is nothing he can do. They've expanded, and I am happy they are flourishing. Vet tech Kim is really nice, too. I don't know some of the newer staff, but Linda at the desk was always nice, as is Sharon and Whitney. Sometimes they are running behind, but I don't mind if it means people's questions are getting answered and patients aren't being rushed. I like the nail clipping service, too. We'd drive back to this clinic from our home 45 minutes away. Only reason we ultimately left the clinic is because we moved across the country to BC! I miss Dr. Harkness' sense of humour and honesty. Highly recommended! RID: 41752

He will make sure you have all the answers you need.

Click to report rating    6/4/12   2     2     1     1   I've been using this clinic for two + yrs now and I find the Dr's to be great! On the other hand, the staff and the way I've been treated over the last few visits have left me discouraged. Two visits ago I was left in a treatment cubicle for over 40 mins with my 2 yr old son and a 1 yr old dog. This was very stressful! When I asked why things were taking so long they said they were behind and apologized. I most recently went to the clinic with the dog for the annual visit and arrived 10 minutes late. They told me I was too late and would have to wait until the dr was done with the next appt...hmmm? Do they really book their appts that tight? If so, do they really care about my animals if this is the case? Not to mention the tone and lack of presence of the front desk receptionist who really could care less about me or my dog. I agree with the other writers. This clinic has lost sight of their purpose by getting too big too fast. I'm moving on somewhere else! RID: 34716
Click to report rating    5/25/12   5     5     5     5   I have taken my lab to WBAH since they opened the doors. They treat him like a son instead of a dog. From the moment you walk through their door, they make you feel like family. My do will be 11 this fall, but acts like a 2 year old (he eats nothing but food from the clinic). If you are looking for a vet, I would not hesitate to recommend Kevin Harkness or any of the other vets at the WBAH as Dr. Harkness does an outstanding job finding caring and knowledgeable doctors to join him in his practice.

Click to report rating    5/6/12   1     2     1     1   In the beginning they were awesome; they had after hours for my dog who had allergies and reactions to many things. A few years later my dog had a lot of pain. So it became at least a monthly visit to the vet; each time they would say "arthritis, maybe just pulled something, nothing seems to be wrong" ect ect. I knew in my heart there was something with my dog; I could see the intense pain he was suffering. I felt like they listened to what I said but did not put enough effort into finding the problem. I was constantly going for so many months trying to figure out what was wrong with my baby, and all that they did for me was not diagnose him accurately. I strongly believe if I was going to a different vet they would have caught what was wrong with my dog before it was too late. RID: 34049
