While visiting family and friends in Montreal over the holidays from San Francisco, our 13-year-old Labrador, Duchess, suddenly and unexpectedly lost the use of her hind legs. With the holidays approaching, we had difficulty finding a veterinarian in the city who could see her, even for an emergency. We found Centre Vétérinaire Montréal online and were very grateful that we could bring Duchess in without an appointment. The staff were friendly, the wait time was short, and the overall experience was reassuring during a stressful situation. Our veterinarian (I wish I remembered her name) was warm, caring, and very knowledgeable. She clearly explained Duchess’s condition, our options, and the associated costs. Although Duchess required more specialized care than they could provide, it was clear they genuinely cared about her well-being. They even provided us with the names of neurologists to contact. While no neurologist was available before our return to the U.S., we left with a clear understanding of Duchess’s condition and the next steps which we will be bringing back to her vet back home. They even called and emailed to follow up to see how Duchess was doing which demonstrated to me how much they cared. I would highly recommend CVM to anyone, including visitors traveling from afar with their pets.
