Grant Park Animal Hospital

Now this is ABOVE and BEYOND! Had to change vets after many years with the same vet. When making my initial phone call to book an appointment with Dr. Watson, the front office staff were amazing! Unfortunately I had to reschedule my initial appointment which allowed me to speak with a couple of the front office staff. Each and everyone of them were so sweet and accommodating. When I had a concern with my dog that I thought needed to be addressed prior to my appointment they asked me to email the details. Little did I expect Dr. Watson to call me directly and speak to me at length about my concerns and put me at ease. I can’t wait to meet everyone at our first appointment – what an amazing first impression!

Had an appointment for my dog with a heart condition, he was not doing well. Staff knew this. Waited 25 minutes in a tiny airless room. Dog extremely stressed. NO ONE came to say vet is busy, running late, etc. I left and told them why. Not a phone call, nothing. Very upset and angry. Been going there over a year.

I was super impressed with all the staff! I’ve brought my puppy in other vets for itching and I’ve attended many vet appointments for family dogs but I’ve never received vet service like this! Even over the phone! It’s unfortunate that due to Covid I haven’t been able to attend any appointments with my puppy but I’m so happy with the communication I received over the phone from our vet. She was so lovely and walked me through everything and answered all of my questions. I’m confident to say that this is where my pup and I will continue to go for all appointments and I will highly suggest Grant Park Vet to all of my clients as well! Thank you to the team you made us both feel so comfortable in such uncertain times! “11/10” – Rooby

Can’t recommend Grant Park Animal Hospital enough! They provide AMAZING care for my two pets, I am always able to call them with questions or concerns and am greeted with a friendly response and caring tone. They also are great about providing you with multiple options for care emphasizing what they believe needs to be done and other items that can wait, it really helps me financially and I appreciate that they don’t try to sell you on things that your pet doesn’t need. Amazing care. Friendly staff. So grateful to have them as our vet 🙂

Great experience! Was welcomed by great reception staff ( I believe her name is Sadie) who was friendly and helpful. Dr Carey was very thorough in her examination of our cat who has been having some issues. She explained everything and worked with me to make decisions. Very much appreciated.

I took 3 of my barn cats to Grant Park Animal Hospital to be spayed and neutered. Dr Watson ( no relation ) and staff were very kind and compassionate. Dr Watson even came out and spoke with me after about the surgery and aftercare for the cats. Highly recommend Grant Park Animal Hospital. We will be taking our dogs there for care from now on. Thanks so much.

I was with them for an year. The reason I decided to leave them was professionalism. I found some errors from just date typo to mixing the note between my two dogs. I think the accuracy is one of the top requirement for this job, since the small error could change the lives.

Dr Watson and his team have done amazing work caring for our 2 dogs. We highly recommend them.

Short version: I’ve owned exotics & namely fancy rats for over 8 years, so I’ve been around. Great exotic vet here (Dr. Watson). Depending on what you need done and size of the animal, the prices are in the mid to lower range. Long version: There’s only a handful of exotic vets in the city. Dr. Watson was closer to where I lived, so I decided to skip the longer commute and bring in one of my sick rats to see him a couple years ago. He prescribed some antibiotics for Sawyer, who was young at the time w/ respiratory issues. Sawyer stayed on the antibiotics for life and I was able to continue to refill his meds without having to run him back for more visits. No trouble, easy to refill over the phone, and SUPER appreciated since repeat vet visits for the same issue can really start adding up financially. Anyway, Sawyer went on to live 3 excellent quality years (comparable to roughly 100 years old in human years). I brought Sawyer in yesterday to see Dr. Watson for euthanasia. All staff were professional & sympathetic. I had a very negative experience in the past with another practice in the city whose front staff handled small animal euthanasia with terms like “Oh, they go into a tub and we gas them”. How could you use such jarring language when someone is right there in the office getting ready to part with a companion? Cat, dog, rabbit, fancy rat, they should all be treated with respect and dignity, and I’m happy that the staff at Grant Park did that. Anyway… Dr. Watson took the time to actually explain the method of euthanasia used, and could articulate WHY it was the standard used, and why the alternative method I’d considered may not be the best choice. My only critique: it would have been the cherry on top for Dr. Watson to pop in afterwards for just one minute to give a little “hey, everything went smoothly, your pet didn’t seem distressed, I’m sorry for your loss”. That’s not worth a star deduction though because I’m very happy with the service otherwise. I’m happy to bring any of my other exotics and future pets in to see him.

I switched vets because I wanted something less commercial and more personable than my old clinic and something closer to home. BEST decision ever. Dr. Carey, Dr. Drain and Dr. Watson have all been amazing as my three cats have all had random unfortunate medical issues in a short time. They’ve always been able to get me in quickly when the cats are really sick, and have taken amazing care of my kitten who has an unusual medical issue. I would recommend them to anyone!

The staff at Grant Park Animal Hospital were really friendly, helpful and took great care of my senior cat, Midnight. He just had some ingrown nails, but they did a good job taking care of it and they were quick.

Wouldn’t take my pets anywhere else! Dr. Watson and Dr. Kraemer are fantastic! Knowledgeable, personable, and always have you and your pets best Interest at the forefront! Highly recommend this clinic!

Not a pleasant experience. It left everyone wondering why the vet at Grant Park Animal Hospital would behave so strange. My dog’s ultrasound was withheld and not forward to his surgeon who has been waiting for it all week without a clear explanation why this was happening. This has delayed treatment for Bentley (my dog) as we were waiting on the ultrasound information to be able to do his surgery (my dog has major liver issues). What we do know is that there was a huge communication error made by someone in the grant park animal hospital front desk staff… because they were not aware of the services they do and do not offer and booked Bentley for something they are unable to perform. From the beginning….the appointment for the ultrasound and biopsy was researched, booked and confirmed with grand park animal hospital’s office on more than one occasion via phone (by myself and Bentley’s main vet),.. and again by me in person right before Bentley went in for his appointment. Following Bentley’s appointment, after I paid for the services I noticed it was much less than I was expecting so I asked if they did both procedures. I was told no, they don’t do that procedure here. I asked if they were sure because their office had told us many times that they do and booked us for it. The next reason they gave was that my vet didn’t ask for it in her requisition (it was included we checked). On my way home I got a call from their office and the receptionist apologized for the misinformation we had received and for wasting our time… said she spoke to the vet about everything and they are going to refund my money and again she was very sorry for the mistake and she wished she knew who we had spoken to. I thought that was a rather nice sentiment. When a week went by and the information didn’t arrive at the surgeon’s office I called grant park animal hospital to check when the surgeon could expect to receive the information and was told that their vet said because I was refunded he is not going to provide myself or the surgeon (who requested the information and did not receive a reply) with any information about the ultrasound. I was shocked and confused as to what was going on. I told her at no time did I request a refund, I was simply told that the vet was refunding me and that they were sorry for their miscommunication. I said I would head down to their office to resolve things in person and was told I didn’t need to. I guess we will never know what caused that bazar behaviour so all I can say is that I do not recommend this animal hospital and hope that you can find an alternative vet and receive better treatment than we did. Best of luck.

Thank you to the staff at Grant Park Animal hospital! Today we made the never easy decision to say goodbye to our 17 year old cat Mocha. It was heart breaking, truly devastating but Dr. Drain as always (she’s been my rock a few times before) has helped us to allow Mocha to pass away peacefully & without pain. She was warm, kind and offered us as much time as we needed, we were never rushed. Erin was also so fantastic, warm and helpful! It always amazes me how such a quiet animal leaves such a loud void when they’re no longer there 🐈♥️

I had been looking for a new vet for my guinea pig, Winnie. I booked an appointment here and I’m so happy I did. The staff are unbelievably nice, caring and gentle with animals. Janelle, a vet tech I believe, showed me unbelievable kindness. I was given bad news and she and the other staff talked with me, hugged me and told me over and over that Winnie is so lucky to have me as an owner. I really needed that more than anything. Thank you Grant Park animal hospital. – Shuli

Very nice staff and took good care of my kitten. Highly recommend

when there for the first time yesterday with my cat and dog, very impressed Dr.Kraemer is super nice and the front staff very nice this will be my place from now on.

I would provide 10 stars if I could. I have personally had many experiences with several vets Manitoba wide, and Grant Park Animal Hospital is by far the best place I’ve taken my dog. They took such good care of my old girl until her final goodbye. Thank you for being so compassionate and caring. They even sent me a sympathy card in the mail. Highly recommend and will always return.

Great service! Very professional and knowledgeable staff. Our dog Penny is in good hands there.

Dr Kramer has been our vet for the last 7 years. He has always provided exceptional care to our dog, Logan. He explains the treatment required in a detailed yet easily understandable way. His easy going, friendly manner put us at ease right from our initial visit with him. We feel so fortunate to have found such a competent, knowledgeable and wonderful vet. Elaine & Randy Delavau

I had called 9/2/2021 when the clinic opened to bring my dog in, and they were able to get me a same day appointment. Grant Park is not my normal vet clinic, but the staff were wonderful, and my dog Benji was more than happy to take treats from the vet tech! The dr who called me during the appointment was just as wonderful. Awesome staff, covid-19 protocols in place, and very clean facility.

Switched over from another vet due to service issues. Was pleasantly surprised by friendly helpful staff, was greeted promptly and was happy to hear the staff knew what breed of dog I had and that it was there favourite, context my dog is an uncommon breed for Canada. Vet my prompt and very helpful, encouraged the way I handle my animals. Coming back to pick up due to COVID, staff where helpful again and stayed with my dog when he refused to go into a crate since this was a new environment with people be didn’t know. Will be coming back in the future and have made this my regular vet moving forward.

We have been with Dr. Watson for probably 10 years. He has always been very good with our babies (dogs) and us for that matter. He is very thorough and his care for animals shines through. We have never met a veterinarian we trust our babies with more.

Dr. Watson is the best vet we have come across. He recently opened this clinic with a few others veternarians. We are so happy for him, and grateful for the wonderful care of both the technicians and the vets themselves. Highly recommend.

Dr. Tim has been our vet for many years & will be for many more. Always thorough, his balance of empathy, expertise & pragmatism is perhaps what I appreciate most. When we recently had to let our 10yr old golden go, Tim was incredibly kind & gentle – can’t thank him & the staff enough. They’re the best.

Had to take my rabbit Luna in due to her not using one of her paws and an amazing experience from them. from how they treated her to how the explained and made sure Luna was going to be fine would recommend anyone with rabbits here

*Best vet* I highly recommend and will be back again! Thank you for all that you do, & continue to do for my fur baby.

Kind, compassionate, amazing staff that will go above and beyond every time! Dr Kraemer has been our dog’s vet for years and has been nothing short of or excellent during every appointment, procedure, phone call etc.

I’ve always thought that to be either a doctor or a vet, you need to be passionate and friendly – or get the hell out of the business!! Grant Animal hospital exceeds my expectations on both fronts. Passion and friendliness was the first thing that came to mind when I was chatting with the receptionist – which made me feel more at ease when dropping off our cat

Our geriatric kitty, Peanut, was referred to Dr. Kraemer by our usual vet for an ultrasound to investigate a heart murmur. I was very appreciative and impressed by the kind, honest, knowledgeable and compassionate care she received by Dr. Kraemer and the staff of the Grant Park Veterinarian Hospital. My sincere thanks.

Ecstatic that this new Vet clinic has opened!!! Took one of my dogs on September 25, 2020 and was extremely satisfied with the service and the price. Have already have had my two dogs and one cat’s files from another vet office.

My dog required a check up due to pain- Covid 19 protocols in place. This is brand new animal hospital, but felt confident with our longtime vet, Dr Watson. 😊

Efficient front office staff and Dr. Watson is a great vet to work with. He’s thorough and gives practical advice.

By far my best vet experience and I’ve had lots!! Everyone was so great and the doctor/vet was even better. Quick, easy honest and caring

Dr. Watson is a knowledgeable and caring professional. We have followed him to his new location in Grant, because of that!

Hands down the best vet experience I’ve had. Dr. Watson is attentive, kind, articulate and professional. He clearly cares a lot.

Absolutely cannot recommend them enough. Very quick to see my dog, even for minor issues. The best vet’s in the city hands down.

Caring team, reasonable fees and great follow up. My pets are happy every time we go there. Highly recommend.

They spayed both our puppies. Very professional and informative. Both dogs are doing great and price was fair.

good vets, amazing staff, what more could you ask for when they care about the wellbeing of animals.

Wonderful service, cannot say enough good things about the doctors there. They are so caring for your animal.

Only vet in the city who sees exotics. The staff are extremely helpful and very genuine good hearted people.

Took almost 2hrs for 1 vaccine, waited in the car while my pets were likely in a kennel . Didn’t get a proper history, horrible experience.

These vet folks are good medicine 💗

Great vet clinic, Dr Watson is a extremely capable and caring veterinarian, the staff are very good, I highly recommend.

They were very compassionate and patient with my dog.

Very impressed with the service and attention we received. Highly recommend, just hope they don’t get so busy they can’t take care of us anymore 😉

Dr. Watson and his staff really care about animals. I would recommend Dr. Watson to all my friends and family.

Very important because I know my dogs will get the best of care

Honest, compassionate, and amazing team!

My buddy said he had a great experience, I was just standing outside

Thank you Dr. Kraemer for the excellent care of our little Katrina 🙂

Thank you so much Dr. MEGAN. I appreciate most.

Dr Kraemer is excellent.

Very clean, very professional and friendly staff.
