Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / December 2007Vets in Toronto?
I vaguely remember that someone here lives in Toronto, but I'm afraid I don't remember who. A friend of mine is living there at the moment. She has adopted two cats from the HS. One of them, Keissa, had a bout of vomiting that lasted a few days and Eva took him to the vet. The vet gave an estimate of what all the testing would cost and Eva and her husband were appalled at what he said. She also got the feeling that he was running a lot of unnecessary tests. He also insisted on keeping the poor cat at the surgery for several days. If anyone here can recommend a good vet in Toronto, we'd be grateful. It's not the money, but she just didn't feel like she could trust the vet to have the best interests of the cat at heart. This Keissa apparently was given up by his previous family because they couldn't pay his vet bills.  SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. > I vaguely remember that someone here lives in Toronto, but I'm afraid I > don't remember who. A friend of mine is living there at the moment.

There was just a study on Market Watch (CBC consumer news) about vets across the country. Ontario was the worst for hosing people. I can't recommend my vet either. >I vaguely remember that someone here lives in Toronto, but I'm afraid I >don't remember who. A friend of mine is living there at the moment.

Hi there - I've lurked here a couple years, & post from time to time on the health & behavior group. I live in Toronto & have always had cats, 2 right now, Coco & my monster tuxie, Little Devil. I can highly recommend the vet practice I've been using the past 6 years, The Cat Hospital - a cat only practice with 2 vets - Drs. Susan Thomas & Dale Foley located (for those in Toronto) in the Yonge/Bayview/Finch area , tel # 416-225-8851. My gentle sweet Coco was given up 3 times by diffferent families who wouldn't pay his vet bills - for ear mites & skin allergies ! On my vet's recommendation, he gets DermCaps (some kind of supplement with ? Omega 3 oils? ) everyday & I've never had any trouble with him since I got him 5 years ago. There are all kinds of people out there who are happy & quick to dump their pets at the first sign of problems. Lots of pictures of my cats on webshots, http://pets.webshots.com/album/547068108fIJykY Good luck, M. >> I vaguely remember that someone here lives in Toronto, but I'm afraid I >> don't remember who.

Someone who takes as many pictures of their cats as I do! ;) They are both absolutely gorgeous. And thanks for the recommendation! Sounds like just the right kind of place.

If your friend lives in the east end of Toronto or the suburb of Scarborough, there's the Scarborough Animal Hospital on Kingston Road a few blocks west of Midland Avenue. We've been going there for years, and a family member worked there part time when she was going to school. They've changed ownership recently, but we still go there for shots and checkups for our three girls. > If your friend lives in the east end of Toronto or the suburb of > Scarborough, there's the Scarborough Animal Hospital on Kingston Road > a few blocks west of Midland Avenue.

You're the one I was thinking of - I didn't remember that Bill Stock also lives in Toronto. I'm sending her this recommendation, too. She just mailed me that they live in Annex, Bloor and Avenue. I don't know where that is in relation to this animal hospital. SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban.

The Cat Hospital is in north part of the city, in Willowdale while the Scarborough Animal Hospital is in the far eastern end of the city in Scarborough. The driving time from your friend's location is more or less the same to both - about 25 minutes. M.
