Fauna Animal Hospital

Bringing my dog to Fauna Animal Hospital was a very educational and positive experience. The Vet is very knowledgable and knows exactly what to prescribe your pet without breaking the bank. He assesses the problem and provides the best treatment at an affordable price. If your pet is sick and you need to go to a vet, then Fauna is the place you want to go. My dog has been on allergy medication for over a year now, at Fauna the vet recommended to go get a blood test done and figure out what the issue is rather then just masking it, the vet's goal is to find a treatment to solve the issue not just hide it! 5 STAR EXPERIENCE!

Best vet ever, very friendly and funny :)

Kiko had her teeth cleaned and three teeth pulled. She had excellent care and has no more problems eating. Couldn't ask for better service

The pros: The doctor here is obviously a big animal lover. Also, not only did he see my kitty the same day I came in with a concern, he also did a dental cleaning the same day when she was having eating issues. He offered me a discount on the dental procedure as a new customer which I really appreciated (even though, never having done this before, I have no point of comparison on the usual costs).

The cons: I felt like he dismissed a lot of what I was saying. I said specifically that my cat is an indoor cat and had been dewormed as a kitten, but he completely ignored me and gave her a topical dewormer anyway, which (I feel) has caused her a lot of highly unnecessary discomfort as she's been foaming at the mouth with trying to get it off. He said it was for peace of mind but it's been anything but. The additional cost was seriously no picnic either considering I'd already spent a boatload on all of the other concerns. On top of this, he insisted that we buy specific food, Royal Canin, and that we stop feeding her Orijen. Even a cursory glance at the ingredients in both of these foods shows which is the superior brand. I've done a LOT of research and Orijen came up consistently as the most nutrient-rich food we could find. The whole thing felt really pushy and I definitely did not appreciate the upsell as I was already stressed out with everything.

All in all I really did appreciate him getting her in so fast for the main concern, and his cheerful manner in doing so, but I'm not so sure this place is the right fit for me and will be trying elsewhere for the next concern.

We took one of our cats in for it's regular checkup and the doctor showed us that she had very bad tartar buildup on her back teeth and cleaning would be required. He scheduled it for less than a week later. The price was fair and his compassion to animals is obvious. He explained the procedure as well as the required after surgery home care fully. We will continue to take our pets to Fauna and highly endorse this hospital.

I just don't understand how a practice can be run this way. This facility needs proper staff, proper training, and protocols. This animal hospital should not be practising medicine.

My daughter was looking after our pets while we were out of town a couple of years ago. The cat had an infection that was getting worse, so she took him in to see this vet. Our Yorkie also had twisted his leg that morning so she had him looked at during the visit. The vet said that he had to anaesthetize and X-ray both the cat and dog to examine them. He said he had to do that to the cat in case it had a bullet inside him (??), although it was a wound from a cat fight. He also tried to convince my daughter to allow him to do surgery on the Yorkie for the pulled muscle. She said it wasn't her dog, so she didn't feel comfortable doing that. The dog recovered within two days of the visit so clearly surgery wasn't necessary. A few days later I was home and took them in for a follow-up visit and found him to be rude towards the women in the clinic and had no regard for the pets at all. He examined them and then shoved them aside. He spent the whole time trying to convince me of the great work he had done, how he had saved my cat's life by giving it an antiobiotic and a couple of sutures. The guy just gives off a really bad vibe and we will never take our pets to him again.
