A friend had recommended Fort Garry Vet Hospital. On that particular day, our dog needed to see a vet because of an upset stomach. I called thinking we would have to make an appointment for the following day since it was after noon. The receptionist said we could come right away. I was impressed. So the two people and two dogs went right over. The receptionist was very welcoming. The tech was wonderful, kind and very patient with all my questions and worries. When Dr. Bhandari came in I was very worried about hearing another Vet's opinion about my 17 year old dog. Dr. B was wonderful and very informative. He gave us medicine and we headed home. He was very, very comforting and very supportive. I happened to visit another vet hospital in the city about a month later. The friend I was with said her vet is the best. Of course, I had to go into the appointment and observe. Although the other vet was good, I would not change from Dr. Bhandari; besides the other vet hospital had charges that were twice more than the prices at Fort Garry Vet Hospital. If you have a loved one that has 4 legs, I would highly recommend that you make an appointment with Dr. Sanjiv Bhandari.

I absolutely love this place! I wouldn't take my fur baby anywhere else. The staff is very caring and friendly. I fully trust their judgment and guidance when it comes to my guy.

I called the Fort Garry Clinic today to ask a question regarding the tail docking procedure. Back story: We've had our dog since she was 2 months old, she is now a whopping 90lb, 1 year old beauty. The tip of her tail started cracking recently and we've been wrapping it for a few weeks now - she keeps chewing off the wrapping to get to her tail. She's since created more damage and my husband and I aren't sure what we should do beyond the constant wrap/bandage - clearly it isn't a long term solution. When I called today I spoke with the receptionist, I told her I wasn't sure but thought that the tail docking procedure was likely what is in store for our pup - not something I ever wanted to do but wasn't (still not) aware of our options. The receptionist ask me questions regarding the reasoning behind my thoughts - I explained the "back story". The receptionist then placed me on hold. When I was taken off hold I was now speaking with a technician who had ‘been filled in on my intent to have my dog's tail docked’. This technician explained to me that the tail docking procedure is considered an amputation as it severs vertebrae. I had no idea as this was the first time I had ever inquired about tail docking. "You wouldn't want your back chopped off would you", says the technician. Are you serious? Yes, that is what she said to me; and no she wasn't polite. I'm a concerned owner, calling in regarding my animal's health. I wasn't asking to have the tail chopped off for aesthetics, I'm not a veterinary, don't have a veterinary friend, haven't ever gone through veterinary training/schooling, have never worked in a veterinary clinic. How am I supposed to know what to do with my situation other than calling in and simply asking for answers? I didn't get any answers from her, I got attitude. Just some advice Fort Garry Technician; when a pet owner calls in for answers and mentions a procedure that you don't agree with - bite your tongue, pull your head out from where the sun don't shine and do your job. Give advice, suggestions and answers. Well done - you just lost a client.

I have been going to this vet for about a year and i was not aware that i was getting RIPPED OFF! After this vet, i went to 4 other vets, and found out that they charged almost half of what this vet charges. They charge to much for the checkups and make you get x-rays for the animal when its not really needed. Now i go to the Alpine vet clinic which is amazing! He charges about 30% of what this vet used to charge and handles the cases with way more care. This vet only wants to make money. Their rip offs. If you want to find a good vet, then do not go here.
