I take Bailey to Southglen Veterinary Hospital to see Dr. Sra. I am very happy that I found this vet, and if you are going to switch vets I'd definitely recommend taking your Rocky there for an appointment to check them out and see what you think.

In my experience, everyone who works there are very nice. They call back to check on how things are going, and one time Dr. Sra called me back to check on Bailey himself. Dr. Sra is very thorough, he would discuss x-rays, blood tests etc. in detail.

This clinic is now open 7 days a week until midnight every day. You can get in there right away, and they don't seem to charge extra for emergencies. I've never had any issues with scheduling appointments with them, usually the response is you can bring him in right away.

They are priced pretty much the same as the other vet I was using previously, I think it's average. I find it very reassuring to have a good vet that is open every day till midnight just in case something was to go wrong. If you decide to check them out, ask for an appointment with Dr. Sra specifically, because this is the doctor that Bailey has been seeing there.

I think that you should find a vet clinic that you would be 100% happy with and who is always open. There are few other vets that have good reviews in Winnipeg. You should go to Find Veterinarians - Veterinarian Reviews and Ratings - VetRatingz.com to check them out. Also you will probably find your current vet rated there, so you can read what other people have to say about him/her.
Thanks so much! Funny thing is - Dr. Sra is the doctor we took Rocky too now (he's the 2nd vet) and I was pleased with how he handled things. It's nice to know you like him so much, he's been recommended by two others to me from our dog group. Rocky is feeling better thank you! Today River doesn't seem to want to eat so we'll see what's going on with her now. Thanks for the website - my current (old?) vet wasn't reviewed but it's a great tool!

Thanks everyone for the advice. I think it's nice to hear that others have switched for various reasons, not always super-serious. I think we will likely end up switching to this new vet, but will let the other one know.
