I work at a large senior living facility in the suburbs which has a pair of large mute swans. One of the swans was hooked by a fishing lure which caused its leg to get infected. We could not find anyone to treat the swan until we found Dr Durante at Algonquin Animal Hospital. The staff including Kaiya, Sarah and the rest of the team was extremely helpful and professional. Sarah called us the next day to check on the condition of our swan which was very impressive. I would highly recommend this practice for anyone that cares about their pets. From start to finish they were a joy and pleasure to work with which is very uncommon in this day and age. Our swan is doing much better with the antibiotics and meds Dr Durante prescribed.

dr durante has seen our rabbits and guinea pigs over the past two years and has been so helpful with education, information, and advice. he is open to offering suggestions if there is something we aren't 100% comfortable with or agreeable to, he will explain the "why's" and "how's" about the type of treatments that were discussed. highly recommend!

I was VERY disappointed with the way that this clinic handled my beardie's illness. They ran stool samples and found out he had parasites. That was treated but my bearded kept getting worse even after treatment and a second stool sample came back negative. They told to call if anything changes, and I did, numerous times but I kept getting useless advice on what to do next and was told, without any further testing being done, that "we could paper the walls with what it could be"! They did not listen when I told them the advice I was being given was followed previously and that my beardie got worse when I followed their advice. They told me to follow it anyway with a total disregard for the health and welfare of my beardie. I left feeling frustrated and saddened as I was forced to watch my baby deteriorate before my eyes. At that point he was not able to keep any food down, despite the medication that were given, and the clinic told me to call if anything changes. Like what?! He dies?!?! He was already on deaths door. The least they could have offered was to keep him overnight to see if they could treat him. Nope, instead he was sent home to die with little regard for how saddened I was or the health of my beloved pet. Thank God, I choose to get a second opinion from another exotic vet who ran extra tests and got my bearded quickly back on track. I would NEVER recommend this exotic vet for anyone that wants a caring vet and staff who will work to save their babies!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Algonquin Animal Clinic! I have 3 Guinea pigs who have all visited at one time or another. The entire staff is so incredibly kind, loving and calming. Not only does Ron Durante have extensive knowledge and experience, but he has always spent extra time explaining exactly what is going on (i.e. showing me photos in a book or letting me see through the scope first-hand). Everyone there has always been patient with me and so wonderful with my piggies. I would give them 10 stars if I could & I would recommend them to anyone in need of veterinary care. THANK YOU, ALGONQUIN ANIMAL CLINIC!! ???

Dr. Durante and the rest of his staff were extremely caring and helpful. As a long time owner of hamsters, it's been hard to find a good veterinarian for them, but I will definitely be coming back here in the future! it's worth the 40 minute drive.

It’s hard to find a good bird vet. We like Dr. Ron because he really cares about the health and well being of our parrot. Last winter our parrot became ill from an infection and Dr. Ron was instrumental in saving Sid’s life.

We took my daughters leopard gecko in to find out she was in grave shape. The medication, care and time spent explaining to us what we needed to do was so detailed. They saved her life. We are so thankful.
