Dr. Black is a skilled vet who has taken excellent care of our dogs for years. He is also a lovely man.

Love Dr Black and his staff!!! Kind, compassionate, knowledgeable , and honest. I have called and they gave me advice over the phone. My dog loves going to see Dr Black and I feel they can sense a good person. Ive gone to other vets when Dr Black was away, my dog hid under the chair in that office. My first impression was old and outdated but its not about the fancy machines , its the knowledge and the experience Dr Black has that cannot be compared to any new vet !!!

Not fancy, just excellent quality, affordable, caring vet care. My dog is almost 14 years old and has been under Dr. Black's care for many years. Recently had his teeth cleaned there, what an outstanding job they did!

He is a wonderful vet! has always helped my creatures, and never overcharged or did anything that wasn't necessary. He understands how much creatures mean to their people. I have been his client for over 15 years. I have gone to other vets when he wasn't available and was always disappointed with the service and outlandish costs. He cares about people and their pets.

Dr Black is one of the greatest vets in Toronto if not in Canada. It will be a great loss to the community when he retires as the loss if his knowledge and wisdom cannot be replaced. If you are looking for someone who places the health and welfare of your pet above the almighty dollar, he is the care giver for you. What a knowledgeable and caring man!

Have been a client for over 20 years and have never had a bad experience. From my vicious cat (she bit him) to my current 110lb lab/shep cross (who LOVES going there) my babies have all been taken care of with compassion, kindness and reasonable prices.

Dr Black is great with my dogs he has been my vet since i moved from California and he is the best - saves me money by sharing all options. My dogs love him and I call him Dr Feel Good.

I brought my cat in to draw blood and it shook me how afraid the doctor was of my cat when she started to growl. She swatted at him once and he leaped back ten feet. I think I'll only continue coming here for shots and flea preventive. I'm not very confident in the way they handle more serious things such as drawing blood or surgeries.

Dr. Black is an awesome vet...Have been with him 19 years and hope he never retireds. BarkBusters is a great training system IF you do the work the trainers leave! If you're not happy then speak with the individules you are not happy with.

Dr Black and his assistant Barb are amazing if you need to get anything taken care of get in touch w Barb the compassion and care this team show for our family pets is amazing. His other assistant we find not so helpful and does make some mistakes. But nothing that can't be fixed. It sounds like a previous reviewer might have dealt w her. After spending years at other vets and being charged ridiculous amounts of money for bad care it is a relief to deal w a clinic that cares about our animals and knows all our pets names just by our surname when call. If your looking for a hands on Vet Dr Black is the guy. He has a more practical approach that a lot of these new young vets are missing. He can actually diagnose without doing a battery of tests. As for vacations I believe Dr Black goes on vacation for a week in the Spring and a week at the end of the Summer. Given he's been practicing for 50 years I think he deserves 2 weeks a year.

Doctor Black and his assistant Barb are wonderful. They take a personal approach to all their clients and the money motivation so common with other vets just doesn't exist here. Best vet I've ever had.

I'm shocked at the lack of handling skills Dr.Black and his techs have. Recommended that I see Bark Busters because my dog was nervous at his recent visit. One 3-hour visit with Bark Busters and $800 later, I'm told to BARK at my dog and throw a bag of chains on the floor to stop him from nipping while being handled. I'm sad that they don't know anything about dog training and that the vet actually recommends these people. It goes to show how little they actually know. He may be a good vet, medicine-wise, but when it comes to knowing the basics about dogs and behavior, he and his staff are about 30 years behind and for that reason I can't go back. I'll find a vet who has a clue and recommend crazy-bad services to "fix" my dog.

Avoid Dr. Black. His assistant makes mistakes and he is frequently on vacation. For this, you will pay top dollar.
The assistant does not fix her mistakes gracefully, and you will have to check EVERYTHING she does before you leave the place, from paperwork to appointments times to prescriptions. Otherwise, you'll be on a corrective trip later. And you will pay a premium for the privilege of this exhaustive double-check.
Should your furry baby have a sudden and unexpected emergency, and you call for Dr. Black, you will often find that he is on vacation. So you'll have to have a back-up vet at the ready.
I switched to a younger vet, a recent graduate, and the difference is astounding. Her energy is fresh, her ideas are up-to-date, and her staff is extremely professional. It's a relief to trust the staff's attention to detail. Oh, and this vet is actually around. Not gone all the time. For this, I pay less!
