Click to report rating    2/19/16   3     3     3     1   Friendly and quality care, but they tried to sell us everything under the sun. I'm not sure I could trust our dog was getting the care he really needed or just what they wanted to sell us. RID: 59832
Click to report rating    12/16/15   5     4     5     4   We've been using the services of this clinic for approximately 25 years for 5 different pets & never had a bad experience with them. A few years back they did have the system of being seen by a tech first & 'sold' a list of preventative tests. That appears to have stopped. Perhaps since Dr. Korver took over full ownership. Their level of service & care is high (e.g., pain management) so I guess you pay for that but to be honest I have checked prices around this area & never found a great difference. They are certified wildlife vets so can treat (free of charge to you) any injured (save-able)wild animal you bring in(& then arrange for it to be released into the wild). 'Human' doctors could learn a lot from them about supporting the loss of a loved one. I've always found everyone there to be caring, compassionate & knowledgeable. RID: 59278
     12/1/15   2     3     2     1   If you're looking for impersonal service and lack of knowledge combined with a cash grab atmosphere, this is the place! Brought our dog in for an incontinence problem. After doing a simple urine test Dr. Kosech suggested doing $500+ worth of additional tests for no reason (X-Rays,Blood, etc). Essentially a cash grab if you don't put your foot down and say no. We put our dog on antibiotics, and another ($140) urine test had to be done. Got a call back from a different vet who informed us more tests would be necessary before putting our dog on hormones (which was never mentioned the first time by Dr. Kosech, so another cash grab IMO). Dr. Kosech said the treatment would only be 5 days long, then turns around a week later and says it's a lifetime treatment, and denies ever saying it was a 5 day treatment. Clearly the vets here are too busy to care about looking after your pets individual needs. The conflicting opinions between all of them is also concerning. Go somewhere else if you can RID: 59133

Click to report rating    2/1/14   5     5     5     5   Brought my African Grey to the clinic for the first time on recommendation from a friend. The vet was very knowledgeable, they gave me a folder full of info on birds, answered all my questions and never rushed me. Really great visit :) I am so glad I found them. RID: 49591

Click to report rating    11/22/13   5     5     5     5   Have been bringing my dog here since he was a pup and they have always given good service and told me what my dog needed. They spend lots of time with you and never rush. I trust them. RID: 48389
     10/22/13   2     4     4     1   Very disappointed, my dog had fleas and they pushed for medicine he did not need. And suggested there is no medication that kills fleas. Went to another local one in Newcastle amazing vets. Very attentive and great with my dog go Newcastle go RID: 47778
Click to report rating    6/6/13   5     5     5     5   Had my first visit at Bowmanville Vet Clinic after being referred by a friend. My expectations were high and they did not diappoint. The staff (and there were a lot of them) were all friendly, informative and spent so much time with me. I also got a nice puppy kit full of information. Great experience and great value for the money. Looking forward to my next visit. RID: 42964
Click to report rating    5/10/13   5     4     4     4   Staff are friendly and all are very competent. They provide all options for my pet but they are costly. However you do get value for the money. RID: 42404
Click to report rating    9/14/12   4     5     3     1   Staff is very competent, warm and caring.. TOO caring.They have too many people trying to sell fancy food and tooth brushing etc, making one feel guilty if they just want shots. I found them very costly. RID: 37187
