Lakeshore Road Animal Hospital

I feel confident and trust in their abilities to care for my pup! They are very trustworthy.

We have been bringing our sensitive little pup here since he was just 8 weeks old. Dr. G and his staff are fantastic. They are always kind, patient and willing to answer all of your questions. You absolutely should bring your pets here, they will be well taken care of!

The staff at Lakeshore Road Animal Hospital were so friendly, kind and knew what they were doing that it made my dog's visit so much easier. They took care of Jack and it put him at ease, and that alone is priceless. I would definitely recommend anyone to take their pets to them.

Great place to bring your pet in! My cat was well taken care of and it was a very quick and easy visit!

What a truly benevolent vet and his incredible team.
Our senior cat went for a critical surgery last week and we felt really reassured that she was going to be impeccably looked after. You really feel like your pet is valued and well cared for.
Highly recommended.

My car was sick and not doing well. We broguhbher here and they said she was dehydrated and gave us some medicine for it. They took 300 dollars for medicine and what not. This is without running any diagnosticslike X-rays etc. My cat did not get any better after trusting this diagnostic and giving the medicine they told us to buy. She ended up having cancer and this hospital failed to check her up. We took her to another one and are currently waiting for results on a surgery. Please save your money from this clinic they scammed us. We wasted one whole day which can drastically changed the situation for a disease.

Dr. G is knowledgeable, kind, and informative. I trust his advice implicitly and am so glad he is who I can entrust the care of my pet to.

I was very impressed with Lakeshore Road Animal Hospital. They were kind enough to see our dog urgently at 6: 30 PM and provided her with such thorough and expert care. Everyone I encountered was very kind and compassionate. I would not hesitate to return back if ever needed in the future. Thank you again!

Update March 2023
We couldn't be happier with the care we receive at Lakeshore Road Animal Hospital. They have seen us for two urgent medical issues and have taken such good care of our little dog. The high level of expertise, care and compassion they all provide is very rare. Thank you again!

Excellent care for my aging dog, Harley. Thank you for your kindness, expertise and all around great service.

Highly recommend lakeshore animal hospital oakville. Dr. G and his stuff are incredibly compassionate, patient, caring and dedicated. They went above and beyond to help my fur baby who was dealing with a nasty UTI blockage and depression. I simply could not trust any other hospital to provide my kitten with so much care and love! Thank you

Everytime I take my French Bulldog Enzo to them, he leaves smiling. Lakeshore Road Animal Hospital does a wonderful job with him each visit and I wouldn't think of taking him elsewhere!

We called LRAH as our pet had an emergency. The lady at the reception was very nice and immediately gave us an appointment. Dr. G took care of our princess with care and updated us throughout the day. Thanks to him, our girl is all better. Thank you

Our dog Tuco needed a skintag removed from his eyelid. The doctor & team did an amazing job! Everything healed up beautifully, and Tuco had zero issues or complications after the surgery. Doctor was very confident and made us feel at ease.

Thank you very much!

The Lakeshore clinic provided excellent care for my two cats. The staff are very friendly, and Dr. G is very knowledgeable. And I fell my two cats are in very safe hand. Thanks for all the work you do. I will recommend this clinic to anyone with pets.

Dr G and his staff are amazing. I had numerous emergencies and health issues with my 4 pets and Dr G and his staff went above and beyond to help them each time. He was there for us when we had emergencies at all hours and helped us at very trying times. The care and love they have for animals shows and it was so comforting to know I had a safe and loving place to drop my animals off for checkups or other issues. Thank you so much for everything that you did for my fur babies!

We have been going to Lakeshore Road Animal Hospital since moving to the area in 2018. Dr. G is amazing! Very caring and thorough. The whole team is amazing! They are all very caring and they are highly experienced with timid dogs. They are the only clinic we will take our girls to for all needs.

Dr. Gobriel provided quick and thorough medical treatment for our new kitten. The Dr. And staff are compassionate, patient and dedicated to outstanding care and service including follow up and reassurance. Highly recommended.

Romeo had a serious accident a few years back and I really appreciated the care and professionalism during that time.
They are always friendly and I’m very grateful for the way that take care of my dogs.
Romeo and Luna love to go there!

I was very impressed with Lakeshore Road Animal Hospital. They were kind enough to see our dog urgently at 6: 30 PM and provided her with such thorough and expert care. Everyone I encountered was very kind and compassionate. I would not hesitate to return back if ever needed in the future. Thank you again!

Incredibly caring doctor and staff. Very knowledgable and compassionate, which was just what we were looking for. Our cat loved being at this clinic. We had no doubt he is in good hands after seeing how excited and upbeat he was when we returned. Also, Dr. G took the time to walk us through every option and process which was really helpful when taking hard decisions. Could not have chosen a better clinic!

My 15 year old dog had an accident and her tail had to be amputed. I was worried that her tinny body would not be able to tolerated the anaestisia. Due to moving, I have been to many Vets before but this place feels and operates very differently from the rest I have been to. Started with welcoming and a sweet smile from Cloe, which immidiately reduced my stress about walking in to an unknown place. After that all other staff were all friendly, courteous and kind. The cream on top of the cake was the doctor who is kind and very knowledgable. I entrusted my best friend on to his capable hands and he gave her back to me safe and sound. This was not the first Vet for us but will be the last one because even if I move I still will bring my dog back to this hospital.

Dr Gobrielle is the best saw my pet first in Eglinton Mavis my dog needed ugrent care due to issues from previous surgery dr treated and took the best possible care for my havanese puppy recently my dog had some issues with itching and a small lump treated my dog on the same day and provided medications and diagnosed issues immediately best clinic ever highly recommended Dr Gobrielle and the lakes shore clinic team

Very professional and super kind. They don't try to take your wallet away at all. They really care about their furry clients. They even called to check on Maple after her shots to see how she was feeling! Hi Paw!

Lakeshore Road Animal Hospital is an amazing pet clinic! Dr. G.and his staff provide professional, knowledgeable, and friendly service. Dr. G, always provides detailed information and treatment options, which we truly appreciate.

My dog swallowed a sock and Dr. G.successfully removed it by using a procedure that was less invasive than surgery

-thanks Dr G.and team!

First thing I have to say is, If you are looking for someone trustworthy, who cares for animals probably just as much as you do.

Go see Dr G.and the team at Lakeshore animal hospital!

My dog was suffering from an open pyometra, a scary and possibly dangerous diagnosis.

From the very beginning Dr. G and his team were responsive to my needs and educated me on all my options.

After a stint on antibiotics - I opted for the emergency surgery to have her uterus and ovaries removed.

Dr. G and his team did everything in house:
- x-rays
- complete blood work
- provided me with meds for my dog
- blood transfusion
- IV and antibiotics
- surgery
- post surgical overnight care

I highly recommend Dr. G and his team for your pets care and needs. His experience as a vet and the team’s ability to communicate with me was exceptional.

After asking around, we decided to take our new puppy to the lakeshore road animal hospital for a check-up and to get the first shots. The staff were very warm and welcoming. Dr. G put us at ease and took the time to answer all our questions without making us feel like we were uninformed. We never felt rushed or like we were taking up too much of the Dr’s time.
Dr. G had a very professional, relaxed manner. We were surprised when things that we had not even thought of were discussed and explained in detail until we had a clear understanding. All the staff are professional, kind and very informed regarding current treatment and vaccination plans.
By far, this is the best clinic in Oakville.

Amazing vet and staff. My dog was panting and coughing the night prior to my visit. It was suggested by the emergency hospital that I monitor him (ensure he slept) and bring him to my vet the very next day. My original vet was nowhere near equipped with the necessary equipment to care for my dog. This is where I decided to try Lakeshore Road Animal Hospital. I was so surprised that Dr. G was able to read my dog’s X-rays himself (it required a specialist at my previous vet and took 2 weeks to get my results, Dr G had my results within 3 hours). He also informed me that he can do an echocardiogram as well! I’m now bringing all of my animals to them.

Everytime I take my French Bulldog Enzo to them, he leaves smiling. Lakeshore Road Animal Hospital does a wonderful job with him everytime and I wouldn't think of taking him elsewhere!

After taking my cat here under dire circumstances and in the middle of covid (after I had unfortunately lost my job) the ONLY opinion I got from these vets was a $3000 overnight stay for my cat “to see if she’s okay” after many tears and feeling this was financially unviable, I took her home. Only to call elsewhere for second/third opinions and be given plenty options that were medically and financially available. Other vets actually couldn’t believe I was never given these options here and it’s honestly heartbreaking to think other people may have gone through the same situation. I was basically told I couldn’t afford, so I should go home and see if my cat makes it.

I absolutely LOVE the Lakeshore Road Animal Hospital. I tried several different vets and was never completely happy with the service. It's hard to compare Lakeshore Hospital to everywhere else I tried because it's honestly just so much better. You can tell everyone who works there sincerely loves animals.
Dr. G is amazing and always answers every question I have. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my puppy. Highly recommend to everyone.

The care and service with Dr G and the team is unparalleled. They are so passionate and treat every animal as if it was their own pet. They go out of their way to ensure the comfort and safety of the animals, as well as of the pets' owners, and they follow up after every single visit. Dr G never pushes unnecessary costs or procedures, is always honest and is incredibly kind and compassionate. My cat is alive today because of Dr G and the team at Lakeshore Road Animal Hospital. You won't find better care for your pet anywhere else!

There is nothing I can think of that would have made it better. I have brought my pets here for several years and I am always happy with the staff and appreciate there is always a follow up call to make sure everything is alright. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. I always feel my cats are in good hands when left there.

This clinic is simply outstanding.
I took my new puppy there, and all the staff were friendly, professional and truly caring.
Dr. G was incredible and all his assistants working with him were amazing especially Taylor.
Me and my little puppy felt relaxed throughout. Dr.g is very knowledgeable, friendly, definitely loved his profession, gave very sound advice, very personable, the best vet I have seen in the 30 years I have owned pets. He took the time to listen to all my concerns, and answered every question I had. Even he was so nice on how he pointed out all the good qualities of my puppy.
The location is great with ample parking lot.
Can’t say enough about the lakeshore road animal hospital!

Great care of Co Co. Easy to get an appointment. Always follows up to see how he is doing. They help us manage future appointments and provides great care and advice. Highly recommend

My puppy had an allergic reaction on a Sunday and the clinic made time for us right away - within the hour we had an appointment and got the treatment needed. Professional and kind, caring service. 5 star treatment. Definitely reccomend!

To say the least, Dr. G is a Phenomenal doctor and his medical team are exemplary!
After a friend of mine referred me to lakeshore hospital, I brought my dog, who suffers from serious disease, and in critical condition. We had given up hope, having been turned away from other clinics or given grim diagnoses. But Dr. G and the nurses welcomed me and my senior dog with open arms and devoted their hearts and experience for a solid hour and a half to treat her and figure out the best long-term treatment plan for her. They reacted swiftly, demonstrating impeccable knowledge and practice.
Dr. G gave me several options for treatments, keeping in mind the financial aspect, which is so thoughtful as well, few days after out initial visit he called me to explain the test results he run and to plan our next steps. In other words, me and my dog have never been treated with so much care, support and professionalism as in lakeshore animal hospital.
They saved my dog life, and now she is happy and healthier more than ever before! My deeply heartfelt thank you, Dr. G and his outstanding team!
Our Oakville community is blessed to have such a great vet who truly cares.

We recently switched to the lakeshore road animal hospital and we are really glad to take this step.
Nothing to improve, you guys have ALWAYS been extremely professional and so kind. We love that you have on-line appointments and we also can receive text messages too! Dr.g and his team truly care about the well being of the animals in their care.
Thank you so much!

I was recommended this vet through my best friend whose dog had a good experience there. They are very understanding and compassionate for my dog who gets very nervous at the vet and had a bad experience at another office. They care very much for their patients and it shows every time I visit and when they call to check in after the visit. Thank you

We go here for all of pets, 2 dogs, 2 cats and and African grey parrot. Very professional, great with the animals and the cleanest vet clinic I have ever seen. Totally recommend!

The care and concern showed by Dr. Gobriel and his entire staff is unparalleled. I know that whenever my pets have an issue I can trust Lakeshore Road Animal Hospital to do everything they can to find the problem and treat it effectively. My dogs love visiting the team too, because of all the love and affection they receive when they’re there.
I highly recommend them if you want excellent service and care by professionals who genuinely love animals.

Dr. G and his team has been amazing for all of our pet needs. From emergency surgery to checkups we can't say enough good things! It's obvious the whole team sees great value in keeping their skills up to date, and keeping the environment clean. Thank you for taking the time to connect with all of our pets so there is never any resistance when it's time to visit.

Dr. G & staff provide amazing care for our pets. We feel like family.
I'm very happy with treatments. Staff always address my concerns. Staff spend time when I call to ask questions. I drive my furry four legged girls from Ancaster to see Dr. G and staff.

I honestly will never go to another vet for my kitten or any future pets! With covid I was very skeptical about taking my pet to the vet due to the no contact or entry policies, but I have never met such welcoming and kind staff who walked me through the entire process as they took my little baby in!
I also was able to have a phone call while my pet was being examined and after, allowing myself to feel as if I was inside and comfortable enough to ask as many questions as I wanted.
They are so kind with my little furry son, and i could not ask for a better team to take care of him! Dr. G truly is an animal whisperer and any pet would be lucky to have him as their vet.
15/10 would recommend!

I initially chose Lakeshore road animal hospital because it is close to my house, however after taking my dog there for over a year now I am so glad I did. The staff is incredibly kind, generous, patient and considerate of myself and my dog who is a very hyper energetic little monster. Dr G have taken great care of her and taken every step to make sure my questions are answered and I know what else to look out for to take care of my dog.the staff consistently calls after visits to make sure my dog is getting better and never pushes me to come in if I don't have to. I highly recommend them to all my Oakville and Burlington friends.

We are very thankful to Dr.gobriel and all his wonderful staff for saving our little puppy, Sissy. We definitely love to share our story with everyone living near this hospital. We were a big group visiting from Quebec, our little puppy was running around and suddenly fell down on a big rock and she became unconscious, we panicked and called many clinics around, they all turned us away to the emergency clinic, luckily one of us called the lakeshore hospital and they advised us to bring her in right away. Since we brought her in, we have received nothing other than excellent care and compassion.
We couldn’t believe that she made it out safely in few hours.
They even followed up with us to check on her the day after and emailed us a copy of her radiographs and blood tests.
These people are truly awesome ️

I’m not here to cause a fuss. But its been 3 years since my puppy daisy passed during surgery. And i just cannot understand why your vet didn’t blood test her beforehand. I’ve spoken to so many that are ADAMANT on pre surgery blood work. But your business chose to skip out, why? To save a buck or two? My angel is gone for good because of negligence. For anyone reading this, PLEASE throw a fuss and ensure that your dog has bloodwork before surgery, there’s a slim chance they could be a hemophiliac. I would never wish the dread i still feel upon anybody, shame on the vet who we TRUSTED with her life, just to brush her off for a quick dollar. Sarah was the sweetest girl I’ve ever met, and i know she felt just as terrible as we do. But I pray you’ve gotten a better vet, someone who actually cares about animals.

I want to give praise to an amazing Vet named Dr Safwat Gabriel. I recently took my 10 year old lab to him for a growth that was growing under her eye lid. Our previous vet had given us two options to fix this problem after a biopsy confirmed that is was negative for cancer. Option one was to lose the eye lid whereas she would never be able to close her eye again and option 2 was to lose the eye completely.we were heart broken to hear this and said we would discuss it and get back to them. Their recommendation was to lose the eye completely. For months prior to this I have seen pictures and stories of this vet in Oakville on Facebook, that had done very difficult surgeries and posted pics of it. I had never heard of this place but had mentioned it to my husband that I would like to go and see him for a second opinion. I felt if he cant save her eye then we don't have a choice and it was interfering with her vision and was bothering her. I made the appointment, saw this vet and right away he laughed and said there was no reason to lose the lid or the eye which would do more damage to her mental health and she would go down hill. He said he could save her eye with a 20 minute surgery. We were so excited and booked right away. She has had the surgery and is doing very well. I give our heart felt Thanks to ALL the staff at Lakeshore Animal hospital and would Highly recommend them to all. We have now switched all our animals care over to them and I cannot be more pleased. Dr. Gabriel is now helping her with stiff joint issues and I have all the faith in him that he will do right by our Furbaby. Thank You again Dr. Safwat Gabriel and to all your staff who are amazing. Carole and Norm Braun and Zoe.

This is my unbiased comment about the Lakeshore Animal Hospital. And its only natural you would be skeptical when you read my review. However I felt compelled to put the word out about this clinic. I was recently a drop-in client with a very, very sick dog. I desperately needed a 2nd opinion given my last visit to another vet proved unsatisfactory leaving me with the instinct to not go back there. I needed someplace nearby my place of employment and quickly did a search for local vets. What first grabbed my attention was the fact that this clinic is shown as being accredited. The minute I stepped into the clinic after getting a same day appointment up until my last meeting with the staff, I can only comment that I was met by professional, knowledgeable, kind, caring and emphatic staff. They truly care and go beyond to make ones pet feel as comfortable as possible. I am forever grateful to Dr. Gobriel for his expertise and for explaining in detail the outcome of the tests that were done inhouse. I wish I could write more. But as is previously mentioned, you will not be disappointed.
