VCA Canada Kortright Animal Hospital

I trust that my 2 cats are in the best hands possible with the staff at VCA Kortright Animal Hospital. I appreciate the staff's dedication to learning as much as they can about my pet and that they provide the best possible care. I feel they treat all the animals in their care with the same love and affection that their owners do. If you are looking for a great local vet, I would recommend the team at Kortright for your pet's care.

We had great experience with VCA for years and always have been pleasued to work with them and have our pets taking care of!

Writing this review after my cat being a patient here for many many years now.but I just want to say that works here are all so kind and welcoming. They are extremely accomodating and are always pleasant to see!

This vet clinic is one of the best around. They love you little fur babies just as much as you do. The staff are amazing and the veterinarians are incredible I couldn't ask for a better place for my fur babies.

I have never dealt with more professional and personal vets, rvts, and reception. Everything here is quick, painless, and easy. They care so much about your pet and email reminders about appointments and food orders, etc. Thank you Kortright!

Lots of great care and excellent attention to detail and pets and owners' needs. Lovely team of caring people.

Kortright Animal Hospital is the best place to go in Guelph. The doctors, technicians and front line staff are all fabulous! I highly recommend!

The vets and staff at Kortright Animal Hospital have cared for my dog since 2008. I originally brought her to them seeking a vet who could answer my questions about vet medicine in terms I could understand. I stayed because I have seen visible improvements to my dog's health issues over the years.

The vets at Kortright (I've seen them all over 11 years!) have treated Olivia for three chronic conditions: bad teeth, a liver disorder, and kneecaps that slip out of place. They successfully slowed the progress of all three conditions, giving her a great quality of life as she has aged.

I am happy to give them 5 stars for their teamwork, professionalism and willingness to focus on my pet as if she were one of their own.

We receive great service and care from the whole staff at Kortright. As does our girl Mia. Everything is explained and followed up by an email from our vet. A very welcoming atmosphere.

Great experience with Dr. Kraft, but they wanted to charge $25 for a printed report of my pet's visit and CBC results. I wanted it for my records to keep my pet's health file updated and track her progress with an ongoing problem. I've never heard of a clinic charging for a copy of blood results/ visit notes, especially after a $500 visit, the results are usually a given. It seems unreasonable to me to charge clients for a copy of their records. I'm still giving 3 stars because Dr. Kraft was attentive and I had a good experience with him, but as a vet student I'm disappointed in the service regarding charging for a copy of results. I offered to come to the clinic to pick up a print out or to have them emailed. All other clinics I've ever visited have e-mailed and forwarded results without cost.

We take our dogs Gus and Tilly to Kortright Animal Hospital and it's a wonderful place. Engaging, caring staff and the best care you could want for your fur babies. Tilly and Gus love it there too - lots of treats and love:)

What an amazing group of people to trust with my best friend – friendly, knowledgeable, dedicated, caring, and on and on and on! You are welcomed with smiles and greetings the minute you walk in the door by a veterinarian staff who are professional, thorough and genuinely care about animals. The Kortright team has been part of our lives since Abby Rose was 8 weeks old! Dr. Kraft, Dr. Hunter, Dr. Jones and staff, offer a preventative, multi-faceted approach to healthcare service that includes veterinary evaluation of your pet’s overall health and risk for disease. They provide recommendations specifically tailored to your pet’s needs, including nutrition, dental care, vaccinations, and heartworm/flea/tick prevention. Dr. Kraft is an empathetic vet who takes the time to design and explain a comprehensive plan of care to ensure my Bichon Frise has the best possible care as she enters her senior years. The team will listen to all your questions and concerns, and treat you with respect and patience (especially with an anxious mom like me!) Quality, compassionate care is what you find at Kortright Animal Hospital!

Dr.kraft and the crew at Kortright Animal Hospital are beyond amazing. While, I understand every animal and health situation is different, my example is purely attuned to the experience with my dog. My 4 year old chocolate lab has been suffering from hip and cruciate issues for some time and after only 3 sessions (1/week) of acupuncture and comprehensive counselling of proper diet and weight loss practices, Charlie is showing impressive improvement in his mobility but importantly has his happy personality back. He went from behaving like a senior dog to a vibrant puppy again! Plus, He loves the general vibes at KAH which means the world to me! I honestly can’t say enough about my appreciation to the staff at this facility. Your care for Charlie is so personalized; I’m in awe of his improvements. The professionalism and overall impressive operations of this animal hospital leave me feeling fully confident in the care my pup is receiving. The hospital has a diverse range of services (I’m using acupuncture right now) and the small but impactful touch of personalized service (ex.welcome signs on doors for animal patients) is a warm but authentic nod to the consistent experience you can expect. Lastly, I feel I’m better equipped to care for charlie’s well-being through the guidance and advice offered by Dr. Kraft and his team during each session. He takes time to discuss all my questions and concerns and I truly appreciate the honesty, transparency and most of all choice in making decisions about charlie’s long term health. If you’re looking for a trusted, professional and genuine experience, I highly recommend this clinic! Charlie and I are so grateful - THANK YOU.

I am a veterinary student studying at the OVC, and Dr. Jones has been caring for my senior dog for the last year or so. I am so glad I found Kortright Animal Hospital. The staff are so lovely - they are always friendly, follow up regularly, and seem to really care. Dr. Jones is awesome. She really takes the time to explain things and she humors my MANY questions. She helps me work within my student budget, and I never feel judged or pressured. Thank you Kortright Animal Hospital!

Always fair and willing to work around your schedule as best as possible. Willing to work around money as well and you can tell they genuinely care about pets.

We have been going to Kortright Animal Hospital for almost 18 years and I can't say enough about the quality of care they provide for our girls. The knowledge they share so we can make informed decisions on our dogs care together is always so helpful. The acupuncture service Dr. Kraft provides helped our older dog (who has since passed) and one of our current dogs with her back end issues. Everyone at Kortright are amazing and are our extended family. We wouldn't go anywhere else. Thank you Kortright Animal Hospital for everything you do!:)

The best veterinary care in Guelph. The entire staff goes above and beyond any expectations I had walking in. My girl is an especially unusual case, and they all go out of their way to offer outstanding care.
If you want a group of trained professionals to care for your pets as much as you do, come to Kortright animal hospital

Our Great Dane, Lucy, has had her share of issues. Dr. Kraft, Dr. Hunter and Dr. Jones have worked as a team to try and find the best treatments for her and their team is constantly checking in to see if she is doing well. We appreciate how much effort and time they have contributed to helping keep her comfortable and happy. We can tell they have Lucy's best interests at heart.

No joke, this is our dog's favourite place to be!

I have been so happy with the care my pet receives at Kortright Animal Hospital. They know my dog as soon as he walks in the door. He has never been excited to go to the vet but drags me from the car to the front door every time we go.

I took my dog here for the first time after his nail was cracked from playing in the back yard. After having not the best of luck at another vet, Kortright was recommended to me by a friend. They were absolutely amazing and fixed my puppy's nail without him being in any pain. They treated him so well and they were very understanding about my budget. Dr. Tammy and Vet Tech Carly were amazing! Would recommend them to anyone. Clyde is feeling much better after his visit.

Very nice staff at the Kortright Animal Hospital! A couple days ago, we went in as an emergency; however, they were able to treat Murphy as soon as possible despite that they were booked in until probably 5 pm. Dr. Kraft was very thorough and made me feel assured about Murphy's status. I loved the picture of Murphy that was printed on the back of our instruction sheet to take home as it was very touching. What touched me the most was being able to see Murphy back up and happy the next morning I walked him, it was definitely a big relief, and therefore, I am very thankful to the Kortright Animal Hospital team!

We absolutely love Kortright Animal Hospital! We recently had BOAS surgery done on our 4 year old Frenchie, Mirabelle, and we could not have been more pleased with our experience and the outcome. Not only did the surgery go very well and our girl is finally starting to feel better, the way the staff treated us and our dog from our first consultation to our follow-up visit was more than worth the 90 minute drive each way to their clinic. The staff at Kortright are an incredibly friendly and compassionate group of people, but they are also very considerate and empathetic, and add little thoughtful touches throughout each visit to make their clients feel welcome and cared for. Surgery is a scary event no matter how routine, but Kortright made us feel as comfortable as was possible during the entire process. We were absolutely blown away by their accommodating attitude and their focus on customer service. They reassured us at every stage - pre, during and post surgery - answered all of our questions and invited us to ask more. They are very professional and knowledgeable, but are also considerate and respectful of how we choose to personally care for our dogs. Mirabelle doesn’t automatically like every vet she visits, but she absolutely loves everyone at Kortright - especially Dr. Kraft who performed her operation. We could tell that the staff treated Mirabelle as though she were their own, and it was clear that she was very well cared for while she was there. My husband and I are so grateful that a friend recommended we try Kortright Animal Hospital. Based on their excellent customer service and our wonderful experience with them, we will happily continue to take our animals there. If you are looking for a positive veterinary experience, I honestly cannot recommend them enough.

My boyfriend and I recently got a puppy and were looking for the perfect veterinarian and clinic. When searching all the other clinics were very brief with me and didn’t really give me the details I needed to feel comfortable with putting my puppy’s health in their hands. I contacted Kortright Animal Hospital and they gave me all the information I requested in order to make me feel at ease as this was such a new experience. Our first appointment was great. They gave us a warm welcome, a tour of the facility and a great consult with Dr. Jones who is so kind. She was fantastic with our pup and gave us so information on everything we were questioning. Even after our appointment the vet techs followed up with me to see how she was doing and again answered all of my questions with things I was worried about. I couldn’t have picked a better clinic.
Thank you guys for making us feel so welcome.

We took our very ill Edith, our nevertheless feisty guinea pig, in to meet the Kortright Animal Hospital crew for a fresh opinion just a few weeks ago. The staff were all incredibly friendly and welcoming and seemed genuinely interested in our little one. Dr. Jones even brushed aside the fact that her medical jacket was liberally covered in Edith. "anointing". After she had spent time with her during her examination! Sorry again, Dr. Jones!

We took Dr. Jones' advice to seek medical assistance of Edith's condition at the UofG animal cancer centre where, unfortunately, her terminal condition was confirmed. In the future, I wouldn't hesitate to make Kortright Animal Hospital my first and only choice for vet care. I wish I had known about this group of vets far earlier.

I owe a big thanks to Dr. Hunter and all the other wonderful ladies who helped me at the clinic today.

Long story short, my kitties munched on an unlabeled tropical plant. The plant turned out to be a peace lily, with no blooms. Not good for cats, but not on the same level of toxicity as genuine lily's.

The potential for my pets being poisoned was taken very seriously, they began treatment soon after I walked in. And before the plant was identified one of my cats had already been induced to vomit. Though the vet cleverly chose a reversable method.

Despite having begun to treat one of my cats, Dr. Hunter did not charge me any additional fee's upon the base emergency vet fee. Which I thought was incredibly kind.
Throughout my whole experience everybody was extremely kind, accommodating and respectful.

I feel very grateful that I have such a convenient and reliable clinic accessible to me. And I'm happy to report that my two little trouble makers are both contently lounging on their favourite chairs.

My next plant will be plastic.
Thanks again Kortright Animal Hospital!
