Having dealt with many vets in both Canada and the US, I can honestly give the vets and techs at St. Francis a perfect score. They are knowledgeable, kind, thoughtful and compassionate. They are also highly proficient clinicians. Cost-wise, they are no more expensive than any vet who provides comprehensive care to your animal. In fact, our cat's surgical cost included absolutely everything - medication, checkups - EVERYTHING. Every cost is always estimated at every step of the way, which I really appreciate. We have dealt with St. Francis for 3 years now and have recommended them to other VERY happy clients. I would not take our cat to anyone else in the Kitchener area.
A small note to folks complaining about cost:
Please consider that a good, reliable, conscientious veterinarian is, actually, even more knowledgeable that a doctor for humans. A vet must treat several species, unlike human doctors, who deal with just one, and a vet must do a lot more work with a lot less information given by the patient. They run the risk of being bitten, kicked, stepped on, peed on (or worse) - and that's not even mentioning the diseases carried by un-vaccinated or neglected animals. They deal with all of this so that they can make your pet feel better - and do so only on the strength of your description, their own observation and whatever tests YOU authorize, because your animal can't TELL them what's wrong. And that's on top of being able to relate to the owner and make THEM feel better too. And I'm not even talking about the large-animal vets, here. And by the way, I have seen some incredibly compassionate pro-bono work from many vets who understand a particular situation. One more thing - although I have seen plenty of tired vets, I have never, ever-ever, seen a millionaire vet. For animal care in Canada, you're not overpaying for anything.

Well they have a great team but service compare to their prices is ridiculous! Today was our absolute last visit with Pasha! They re missing 2 of our last reports! Last time we got on a scale I saw with my own eyes that scale showed 95 pounds! Me and Pasha were in today and my 1 year old growing monster scaled 76 pounds! Im told their scale wasnt working properly and thats why they got a new thousand dollar scale!! Thousand dollars is what you guys make in 4 clients that come in! And you waited that long to buy a new scale and you just wanted to yell at our face that it was a thousand dollar scale ! Instead of a apology you wanted to yell out the price of your new working scale!I dont care how much you paid for your scale thats very unprofessional to yell that to a clients face! This was absolutely our last visit and I will be making sure no one I know steps in there. Ridiculously unprofessional

I'm happy with the service the vets and staff at St Francis provide. I like that I can book appointments, follow up on treatment, and request refills for ongoing prescriptions by email. The vets and technicians are gentle and kind with my dogs, including one who is very nervous and not the easiest to deal with.
I've been happy with the dentistry that they've done on my dogs.
Some reviewers have mentioned thinking that they are mostly interested in money and I disagree. They're keen on veterinary food that I think isn't high quality (4 of the 5 first ingredients were grains) but didn't have any issues when I decided to stick with my normal pet food. And, as with any vet, you can always ask what they hope to learn from a particular test or what the risks and benefits of a particular treatment are before you decide whether to accept it. I've said no to tests I didn't think were warranted, again with no issue.
