Be careful with this vet clinic

To all pet owners,

I hope that before you visiting this clinic and decide to take your pet to their practice, you can take one minute to read my story. I took my cat (as showed in the picture) last Nov to this clinic for an emergency situation, the vet called Nicole Tan, gave my cat a check for around 10 mins and asked me to do a series of tests (cost me around $1600) to check whether my cat got a lung cancer. Before I even got to see any test results, on the same day, she suggested that I should euthanize my cat as curing him will cost me a fortune and still won't save him. All discussion was taken place around the area near reception.

I didn't believe that my cat is dying so I rejected her and requested to take my cat home to wait for results before making any decision. She rejected to discharge my cat and insisted to put him into a 24 hrs animal hospital in Collingwood. I have no other options but sending him there for overnight caring. However, when I received those results from CARE, no one can diagnose what has happened to my cat and they agreed to release my cat home.

Since then, my cat is still perfectly happy and alive. I have raised my case with Vetboard and pending for their review.

I put this review in google after almost one year is simply because I suffered PTSD after what has happened and I don't want to make emotional comments last year. Secondly, I put 5 stars in this review is just simply hoping more and more people can see this before I am forced to delete.

Hope your pets will be fairly treated and be your company as long as possible.

Approximate cost: $2500
