  The next day I phoned my regular vet to ask if they were aware of the pricing charged by KVEC: Indeed they were NOT aware of this, and they were quite shocked and surprised. They assured me that their own prices are NOT anywhere near that, had I been able to wait until the next day, and that they would now rethink where they refer after hours emergencies to (presumably they now recommend Cavan Hills).

  I must say I was surprised at the low cost of the emergency service I received. Emergency veterinary care is a specialized service that uses many expensive pieces of equipment, expensive drugs, requires talented and highly trained staff, and a state of the art facility - none of these things listed are inexpensive. The price I paid was below expected, and I would confidently refer any of my clients to KVEC in the event of an emergency.

  Unfortunately, indeed, hours later I did not feel that we could wait through the night ... and at 11 p.m. I recalled having driven past a 24 hour vet clinic near Cavan (on drives to/from Port Perry). Sure enough Cavan Hills Animal Hospital is open 24/7 and I called them: Their price was $150 for euthanasia (less than half the price of KVEC) and cremation costs were also less than half the cost. We drove to Cavan shortly after midnight - and while it was all very sad, we felt the staff were caring, kind and gentle .. and, also importantly, we didn't feel we were taken advantage of financially in order to make a quick buck off of our pets' suffering and our desperation to get help for her.

  I was simply not prepared to pay $350.00 just for an injection to euthanize the cat - and I certainly wasn't going to pay hundreds for cremation (we would bury her ourselves). I decided that we would have to wait until the next day to go to our regular vet.

  We were attended to by Dr. van den Mulen who quickly and confidently liased with the Poison Control Center using our reference number. The care offered to us at KVEC was second to none. Howie was safe and well cared for. KVEC forwarded records promptly to my home veterinarian for follow up.

  Perhaps I WOULD have been pleased with the actual service/care, however ... I contacted KVEC upon the recommendation of my then regular vet whose office was about to close when I called regarding my 19-year-old cat needing to be euthanized. I was calling at 4:45 p.m. and they close at 5 and had hoped that they would stay a bit late, but they were not able to. I asked if they thought the cat might just pass away peacefully during the night or if I should wait until morning and bring her in - they said that more than likely things would not go well and I would have an "emergency" situation on my hands late at night with the cat suffering, and family panicking. I phoned KVEC and was quoted $350.00 to euthanize the cat, and something in the range of additional $300 - $700 for cremation, depending on whether I wanted her cremated with other pets, or a private cremation.

  I attended KVEC on 01/23/2018 with my 2.5yo Bedlington Terrier named Howie who was suffering from suspected poisoning from an ingested substance.

  My Boston Terrier received excellent care back in April, however, the bill was astronomical $1700 for overnight stay, meds, and testing. She had pancreatitis with showing of diabetes. Our regular vet took it from there. Just know that it is great care but costly.

  A happy ending, though: When at Cavan Hills there was a small kitten in a cage in the waiting area - he had been abandoned in the parking lot. We came back the next day and took him home with us. So, while sadly one kitty's life was over (after a long life for a cat - 19 years) there was another kitty in need of a home.

  We used the KVEC clinic when it first opened and were very pleased with the care that our Morgan received. I am so grateful to the women vets who started this much needed service in our area and just wish it had been there years ago. I cannot say enough good things about this clinic and its staff. Thank you.

  As a professional groomer there are many things I look for in a pet care facility and KVEC checked all of my boxes. Dr. van den Mulen also offered to fill out any necessary paperwork for his insurance.
