  Four paws is an excellent vet. We had to put down our beautiful lady and they were so kind and compassionate. We now have a puppy and they continue to give great service. I definitely recommend this business. I love that they are 24 hour. We have visited late several times. It's a comfort when you have a sick pet to know someone is available for consultation; even by phone.

  4 Paws, overall is a convenient and good vet clinic. That is to say, for routine check ups and general care of your pet, they would suffice. However in the event of an emergency, do not let the receptionist make you believe that their service can replace those of Metro Animal Emergency Clinic. Unfortunately, when you google Halifax pet ER, this is one of the top results that comes back, and if you ask "is this the vet ER" the receptionists has been told to tell you "we are a 24 hour hospital and can see your pet right away"

  I made that mistake earlier this year, and they were grossly unqualified to care of my dog whom sustained a relatively severe arm fracture. As stated by many others already, the vet is also never on time, my minimum wait for the vet was 30 minutes, some up to an hour, and there is frequent communication error either due to confusion, or their system is down ... which oddly enough happens a lot.

  Have been taking my pets there since this place opened. In the first year they had a few administrative wrinkles to iron out, but it all runs very smoothly now. I particularly recommend Dr. Slater and Dr. Vicky (sorry, I don't know her last name), as they bring extensive experience to challenging diagnosis or treatment situations. Once or twice I have been disappointed in the technicians, therefore the 4 stars, but 95% of the time everyone there is incredibly kind to my pet, making sure she is comfortable and not stressed. The 24-hour service is so great, and if you have to leave your pet overnight, you know that there are people watching over her. I have used the housecall service as well. Great vet!

  They cannot do emergencies. A friend called because she needed a c section and was told that they couldn't do it as the Dr would be tied up for other emergencies. Really?? This is disgusting. Don't advertise that you are for emergencies then turn away emergencies. As a vet tech and breeder, I can't believe they said that.

  Excellent service and they really care for the well being of for animals. They recommend the best options but also consider that not everyone can cover the costs. They are upfront with the costs during their discussions so you can make realistic decisions on the care for your pet. 24 hour service means you can always bring them in when something comes up.
