​The Animal Hospital of River Oaks always supports all emergency and referral hospitals. Without these facilities our beloved four legged family members would not have their emergency needs dealt with during after hour needs. With this in mind we are reminding everyone how important it is for blood donors, even in the canine species. If your family pet fulfills the requirements please consider donating blood, it may just save another families pet’s life.
Canine Blood Donation Day
Location: Burlington Veterinary Emergency & Referral Hospital 775 Woodview Road, Burlington, ON

​Baby it’s cold outside…even if the temperature says zero add the windshield factor and we are still in the minus! Bundle up with booties and if needed a jacket and please wash the salt off the paws at the end of a walk! Anyone else build a snow person yet this year?

The Animal Hospital of River Oaks would also like to thank all of our clients that donated to our food drive over the holiday season. It was such a great success and we were thrilled to be able to donate to a local charity drive. Food for Life helps numerous shelters in our local area and better yet one of our very own River Oaks Family, volunteers their time to the cause. With an huge thank you for your dedication we would love to show appreciation to the Pellowe Family. Food for Life is an ongoing food bank and takes in donations year round. It is important that we think of the less fortunate all year round not just on the holidays. The Animal Hospital of River Oaks will keep a donation box available all year and you are more then welcome to drop off canned and dried goods which will be passed on to Food for Life

Dr. Gold and the team at the Animal Hospital of River Oaks are excellent and very thorough. They have always done a great job taking care of our cat.

 by Joan Kirby on 2017-12-09
simply the best...they make you feel part of a family....I have been going to Dr. Gold for well over 25 years. His staff is very caring and although there have been a few times I have had to go another Vet....I have always come back home to Animal Hospital of River Oaks...

 by Keith Milner on 2017-10-18
Always a pleasurable experience when we visit River Oaks. The Doctors and staff are fabulous, caring and helpful. If it wasn't for Dr Gold we would have lost our beloved Roo. His insight and experience saved our dogs life. We live over 50 miles from the clinic but will never use any other vet. Thanks again Dr Gold.

 by Sharon Liu on 2017-09-29
Really glad I found this clinic within walking distance from my house! Both the doctor and the staff are warm and welcoming. They took the time to answer my questions and were very patient with Summer who can become nervous at the vet. I enjoyed my experience and would recommend to anyone who’s looking for a caring team.

 by Anon on 2017-09-28
Jennifer and Ebony were excellent!

 by Sally Adams on 2017-09-16
I came in to get cat food. The receptionist was quick and efficient. My preferred brand and size were readily available.

 by Ken & Valerie Smart on 2017-09-15
We have an old 14 year old chichauhua with bad nerves The staff at river oaks were great with him in particular Jennifer So loving and kind to the animals Thank you We will be back soon Ken and Val Smart

 by Jan and Chas (Charles) Wynn on 2017-09-01
Dr. Mac and the staff were wonderful with our two pups - Maeve and Zak. We arrived for our appointment and were seen to immediately. Zak had to stay back for a small operation that was done quickly and efficiently. Overall, we couldn't have asked for more. Thanks!

 by Ashley Bojeczko on 2017-08-25
Absolutely love the staff!!! and Dr. Mac is amazing!!!!!

 by Lorraine Green on 2017-08-19
My experience was great, however, Mia was in for grooming and one of the things I would have thought this included was clipping her nails. This was not done. When asked I was told as I hadn't mentioned it, it wasn't done. No one was in the office to do this when I picked Mia up.

 by Mike Arndt on 2017-08-18
The team is extremely helpful and professional. I always leave knowing we are getting the best care possible.

 by Rodolfo Esteban on 2017-08-09
I came in for a rabies shot, but the doctor did not feel comfortable with giving it because my dog was showing aggression which I had given a lot of notice ahead of the appointment. We decided it was in both parties' interests to not give the shot. The issue I had was with the fee. I paid $70.40 to bring my dog in for nothing. Had I known the doctor did not feel comfortable with giving the shot or that the shot might not be given because of aggression, I would not have brought Kira in to waste my time and money. Someone from the clinic should have informed me that shots may not be given to aggressive dogs.

 by Ivana Gustin on 2017-08-09
Thorough first visit and even though the appointment went longer than expected, I wasn't rushed out. Both me and my puppy had a very positive visit

 by Debbie MacVoy on 2017-08-03
The doctors and staff are so good to my Jemma!

 by Anon on 2017-08-02
Nice, very friendly clinic, with family like charm. Dr. Mac thoroughly looked over our new furry family member, and took great care in ministering her needed vaccines, as well as in obtaining her blood sample. She also gave us her straight and honest opinion on what was best for our dog's health, with regards to food, and oral hygiene, so that we would enjoy her for many years to come. Addressed all our concerns and questions, and it was clear that keeping pets healthy is her passion!

 by Andrea Gleeson on 2017-08-01
Best care anywhere. Personal, thorough, bang on. I've already send a friend and her long search for an superb experience is finally over. Dr. Gold is simply wonderful.

 by Nancy Burnison on 2017-07-21

 by Jill Howe on 2017-07-19
As always, the staff was polite, friendly and extremely caring of both the pets and the owners. Always enjoy my trips to the vet, my cat not always quite as appreciative though.

 by Joan Kirby on 2017-07-11

I have been visiting Dr. Gold now for 20 years plus. I just have the utmost trust and comfort level one could have visiting. I'm sure my pets can feel that as well.

 by Kelly Penman on 2017-05-26
Callie had some blood taken for testing, and as usual, care was outstanding. We've been taking our pets here for years and we are always treated with respect and kindness. I highly recommend Dr. Gold and his amazing team of professionals.

Friendly knowledgeable staff who love animals

 by Judith Hunter on 2017-03-07
Care given to my dog was excellent. The staff truly love every one of the animals in their care and treat them as "one of the family".

 by Anon on 2017-02-28
Wonderful so far. Had an initial puppy check up and Dr. Gold took his time answering all of our questions. He also engaged our daughter and gave her lots of good advise on how to be a parent to a new puppy.

 by Anon on 2017-02-17
Both my Mom's cat and my cat have been visiting Dr. Gold for 14 years now. Dr. Gold and his staff are all very friendly and professional. They love what they do and we feel very welcome here!

 by Bill & Sheri Van de Laar on 2017-02-11
The attention and service received are always top notch. Wonderful staff and Dr Gold is the best!

Great staff and great vet. Dolce loves Dr. Gold even though my cat hisses...lol

 by Lisa Harding on 2017-02-03

Everyone is so nice, like a family environment. The staff go above and beyond to make sure everyone is well taken care of! Thank you everyone Lisa Harding

 by Anon on 2017-01-27
I really appreciated Dr. Gold making a space to see our new kitten at very short notice, being a new Pet owner it is so reassuring when everyone at the Animal Hospital of River Oaks is so friendly and caring!!

 by Roy Grant on 2017-01-21
excellent except for the 30 minute wait

 by Robert Rankin on 2017-01-18
It is always a pleasure to visit the Animal Hospital of River Oaks. Doctor Gold and the staff are not only super caring and professional; they are also like old friends. I've been going there for years and I wouldn't take my dog to anyone else.

 by Yelena Filippova on 2017-01-05
Really liked the atmosphere, as well as very friendly, attentive, knowledgeable staff. It feels like a family. I am glad my friend recommended it to me and my newly adopted beagle/dachshund mix. We will definitely stay with this clinic.

 by Anon on 2016-12-16
Great people, excellent care for pets. Waiting in an empty exam room for 20 minutes not acceptable. Emergencies or patient back up is one thing; no obvious reason is another.

 by Brad & Mary Porter on 2016-12-15
We are very thankful for the wonderful care you provide our dog Shiya. The entire team is great and caring. We have referred our friends to you in the past and would again without hesitation. Thank you for all you do.

 by Phil Gemmell on 2016-12-08
Always friendly, professional and courteous.

 by Ron & Sue Herman on 2016-12-07
Everyone in the office is very pleasant and professional. Gracie likes going and is happy to visit with all. We have always felt that Dr Gold is thorough and caring and we like that he uses the least invasive treatments possible while helping us to stay as low cost as possible. Gracie has been going for 11 years to Dr. Gold's office and we feel that she is well cared for.

 by Anne Moniuk on 2016-12-04
Wonderful as always!

 by Debbie MacVoy on 2016-12-03
Dr. Gold and Ebony were great with Jemma!

 by William And Christine Apted on 2016-11-25
Dr.Gold is wonderful and I actually think his dog, Schooner calmed our dog in the office. Ebony was very engaging, pleasant and efficient. Great experience and on time!

 by Rick Marszalek on 2016-11-24
20 years of experience with Dr. Gold qualifies me to say that there is no better doctor for my pets. It's a true pleasure and if animals could talk and write, they would be saying the same as me.

 by Anon on 2016-11-07
Excellent staff---very caring and knowledgeable. I never think twice about the advice or the level of care my pet will receive at this clinic. I am very happy with the service and medical care!

 by Anon on 2016-11-07
Very caring and friendly staff....we completely trust in their ability to provide excellent care for our dog!

 by Daisy Yu on 2016-11-01
My two dogs are always very happy to board at Dr Gold's office. This is the only place I feel comfortable to leave my dogs there when I am away! I know they are under good hand no "surprise" during my vacation! We have been with Dr Gold over 12 years! Thank you!

 by Donna Rohrer on 2016-10-28
I have only had great service at the Animal Hospital of River Oaks I have been a client for. almost 20 years I have recamonnded the hospital to many of my friends Thank you foe taking great care of my pets

 by Ivan Bucci on 2016-10-27
Was exceptional

 by Mary Anne Danelon on 2016-10-15
Dr Gold and staff are always friendly, trustworthy, and professional.

 by Anon on 2016-10-15
I understand that things come up and increase wait times....but of the last few times I've been there I've had to wait way too longood with my cat in the carrier. The last time I went we didn't even get to see the vet because there was an emergency. It would have been nice to have been told to leave rather than wait for over an hour then chose to go home. Bringing our cats is never easy as they don't travel well. That being said the staff are very friendly and remember us. The girls at the desk are the best part of this vet clinic.

 by Jackie Dinatale on 2016-10-14
The service was amazing we would definitely bring our pet back

 by Robert Mayeda on 2016-09-27
Staff are always very helpful and kind. They continually provide superior care for my cat and we could not be happier about the staff at the Animal Hospital of River Oaks.

 by Amy Johnson on 2016-08-15
We are very grateful to have such excellent care for our cat Brie.

 by Bill & Sheri Van de Laar on 2016-08-13
It's always a pleasure to see all of you there. Wish I saw you more often, but I still would like to get another dog!! Sheri

 by Rose Marquis on 2016-08-13
Very thorough. Answer any questions you have. They care about your pet. Very organized with emailing you about your upcoming appointment. They take time with you and your pet. Just wish I had been going sooner. Very happy we are now patients!

 by Laura Moeth on 2016-08-13
Our experience with Dr. Gold has always been excellent! He has been our Vet for 12 years.

 by Anon on 2016-08-04
My cat was well taken care of and the techs were really nice with her.

by Connie Quintieri on 2016-08-03
It was my first visit and the service was exceptional. Thanks for taking good care of Riley. We will definitely be back. Connie

 by Nibal Slim on 2016-07-12
Great place, Oscar enjoyed his stay

 by Anon on 2016-06-28
Dr. Gold was very attentive and thorough with the entire process. He addressed all my concerns and questions with a thorough checkup of my pet. However, the biggest downside is the wait time. I usually anticipate some wait, but I arrived 10 mins early for my appointment and I didn't see the doctor until 1.5 hrs later. I have never waited that long for a veterinary appointment before. Please take some care in scheduling new patient appointments to accommodate for this as it can sour an experience at a new vet for many. Overall good experience but I am left wary as I do not always want to be waiting 1+hr just to see Dr. Gold for my pet.

 by Anon on 2016-06-23
We received a lovely, warm welcome. Dr Gold was attentive to our concerns. And he always provides detailed explanations for treatments and procedures. Our dog actually loves visiting the vet, and that's saying something!

 by Carol Rivers on 2016-06-12
Very friendly and accomadating. Dr. Gold is very good with explaining the medical stuff. We are always confident that our cat is getting the best care . I higly recommend this animal hospital.

 by Anon on 2016-06-12
As always, a pleasure to deal with......professional, courteous & very very accommodating.

 by Anon on 2016-06-08
On time. Through. No pressure selling optionals, but information and advice given freely. They obviously love the pets they care for.

 by Henry Roeser on 2016-06-08
I just picked up food for Tyler. So nothing special during this visit, but pleasant as always.

 by Michelle Hallam on 2016-05-14
All the staff are very accommodating and friendly. My dog receives excellent care and she loves going to the office.

 by Kelly Penman on 2016-05-10
I love the treatment Dr. Gold and his staff provide. They are always friendly, courteous, and professional. They make feel great about having chosen them to care for my pet. And, believe it or not, my dog LOVES being there. As did my previous pet.

 by Anon on 2016-05-10
Hospital staff always pleasant and friendly. Love Dr.Gold...reasonable, and explains things so everyone can understand the medical stuff! Would recommend this vet to anyone looking for animal care :)

 by Mike Santos on 2016-05-03
This place is everything you can want. Friendly knowledgeable staff Dr Gold is great with Sox and is extremely honest and caring. I recommend everyone to them!

 by Steve Pontet on 2016-04-29
Great as always

 by Anon on 2016-04-23
Couldn't wish for anyone better than Dr. Gold! Excellent care and attention, extremely knowledgable, and a very calm demeaner with my dog. I would have given 5 stars except that I had quite a long wait time. Worth it for me but schedule more time than you think. All in all very happy and satisfied with the care we received. Highly recommend this veterinary clinic.

 by Mary Hawthorne on 2016-04-22
Excellent, friendly and knowledgeable care for the past 12 years.

 by Alison Weir on 2016-04-19
Great people.

 by Lorraine Green on 2016-04-12
Our pets have always been very well looked after and Mia was fussed over as usual.

Very friendly service. Professional and clean environment. Fair prices.

 by Vicki Hill on 2016-04-09
It was great as always. For an overprotective Mom it's nice to get updates and see photos of him whole I was missing him during his day surgery.

 by Nancy Burke on 2016-04-09
Thanks for taking such good care of my baby Riley. His teeth look amazing.

 by Maureen Lotito on 2016-04-09
I love the welcome, I get from the ladies when we walk in, the smiles. We conversation nicely and politely with us, knowledge about what I need for my animal. Love the fact we can interact with animals when they are out. Overall, nice happy environment. Dolce loves his vet.

 by Adrianna Pearce on 2016-04-02
IT was great. Bangles, still does not enjoy having her nails cut... but it was all good. The love and affection one's furry friends get, is really wonderful, and then the personal welcome is a comfort. Adey

 by Julie James on 2016-04-02
My rescue dog (Ernie) desperately required Dental Surgery (cleaning, x-rays, extractions) which I have been putting off for the past couple of years due to the cost. I decided to obtain 3 quotes from 3 different vets and also to find a vet with a 'Dental X-ray machine' that would more accurately diagnose dental issues. First of all, Dr. Gold did not charge me for the initial consultation (the other 2 vets did). Secondly, Dr. Gold was the only vet that has the 'Dental' x-ray machine (was so hard to find). Finally, Dr. Gold took the time to explain the whole process in great detail (including drawing diagrams and reviewing pictures of dental surgeries that he had previously performed). These 3 factors (in addition to the quoted cost of surgery) helped me to make my decision on which vet I wanted to perform the Dental surgery on my dog Ernie. I found the staff at Animal Hospital of River Oaks very professional, efficient and friendly and would highly recommend their services.

 by Laurie Pfeifer on 2016-03-18
Its always a pleasure seeing Dr Gold. I know Sylas may feel differently lol, but it is always informative and comforting to know I can bring my pets to the Animal Hospital of River Oaks and know they are getting the best care. I have been bringing my pets to Dr Gold since I was a little girl, he has been a part of all of my pets lives throughout the last 25 years at least. I appreciate knowing that I have a safe and helpful place to turn when it comes to my pets health.

 by Amy Johnson on 2016-03-15
Dr. Gold and staff provided excellent service

 by Cynthia Woods on 2016-03-12
Dr. Gold provided very thorough information to help with our new puppy.

 by Jennifer Hewitt on 2016-02-26
Dr Gold and his staff were great. My experience was great he took his time to clearly explain things to me and gave me more options for treatment for my dog than any other vet has. So I would definately refer him.

 by Paula Willis on 2016-02-19
Thank you all for your kindness and care of our beautiful Prince. Even in one of the worst moments of my life (saying goodbye to my sweet boy was one of the hardest and most painful decisions I have ever had to make, I am still feeling so lost without him) you maintained a professionalism and respect for what we were going through. Thank you for that and for always caring about his health and well being.

 by Bill & Sheri Van de Laar on 2016-02-14
Our pets have been looked after by Dr. Gold and staff for over 25 years. They are totally dedicated to the animals and we have always received wonderful care from them. The most difficult part of pet ownership is end of life care. Dr. Gold and his wonderful assistants have been there for us during these times and we appreciate the compassion shown to our beloved pets and to us. Thanks to all!

 by Anon on 2016-02-13
Your hospital is a blessing for us. Not only is your facility the only one which cares for small animals such as my bunny close to my residence but also the staff and Dr.Lorie are pleasant and provide my bunny with such tender care. Thank you from Bunny and I.

 by Leighann Rankin on 2016-02-08
Excellent as always

 by Anon on 2016-01-30
Dr. Gold and his wonderful staff provide veterinary care that is unparalleled. As a lifetime pet owner who has had many vet visits with many pets of all kinds I can't say enough about the personal attention, empathy and professional care they deliver. My family physicians office should aspire to do as well as this team.

 by Rick Marszalek on 2016-01-26
Hello. It's always a pleasure to visit the good doctor. The comfort of knowing that your pet is looked after by such an animal friendly person is comforting. I believe the animals sense it as well.

 by Tina Cheng on 2016-01-24
I would recommend Dr. Gold and his staff to anyone. Both my cat and my parents’ cat have been with Dr. Gold for 12 years (and counting) now. Dr. Gold is very knowledgably. I knew someone who rescued a cat with health issues before. They
took their cat to different vets trying to figure out what the problem was but no one had any answers. Eventually, I suggested trying my vet. We took their cat to see Dr. Gold and he immediately diagnosed the source of the problem at the first visit. He informed us with the options we have and his opinion. We really appreciated his help in solving the mystery.

 by Peter Kufner on 2016-01-21
I would not hesitate to recommend Dr Gold and his staff.

 by Anon on 2016-01-19
Dr. Gold and his staff are extremely knowledgeable and provide excellent service.

 by Peter Kufner on 2016-01-17
Pleased with the care Ellie is getting both from DR Gold and his staff.

 by Robert Rankin on 2016-01-15
Everyone at River Oaks makes you feel that they really love your animal and call them by name, and come to pet them as you enter. Dr. Gold is not only a competent, thorough and knowledgable vet., he also is kind and sympathetic to both his patients and their owners. Tessa is the third dog of mine that has been in Dr. Gold's care. My Son and my nephew also take their dogs to Dr. Gold. We wouldn't take our pets anywhere else. Bob Rankin

 by Cathy & Chris Metcalfe on 2016-01-12
Always friendly to us and exceptionally caring towards our pets. We would highly recommend Dr. Gold and his staff for any of your pet's health care needs.

 by Daniel Martins on 2016-01-07
Doctor Gold was patient and good with my cat, and had excellent suggestions. His staff are friendly. Everyone I dealt with clearly loves working with animals, even the messy bits.

 by Mary Barbiero on 2016-01-06
I cannot say enough about Dr. Gold and his team! I have been a client for over seven years with my old dog and now my new puppy and they have provided us with outstanding, caring and when needed, much compassionate care. I highly recommend Animal Hospital of River Oaks to anyone!

 by Rick Boroviak on 2016-01-06
Before we joined Animal Hospital of River Oaks, we would dread having to take our pets in for a checkup, but it is always a pleasure to visit the office, Dr. Gold & staff are simply the very best. I have recommended the clinic to my associates many times now.

 by Brad & Mary Porter on 2016-01-05
Dr Gold is very knowledgeable and I appreciate all the time he takes to discuss options and provide advice.

 by Anne Moniuk on 2015-12-27

Taking Josie to the vets office is always a very positive experience although not so much for Josie. The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable I would highly recommend their services for your furry family member

Great care for Macey--always had the most thorough information provided to us and all options presented well. Macey was very comfortable during visits! :)

We have boarded Buster for many years and although Buster is always excited to come home he is always well taken care of by your staff. Buster has been looked after by Dr Gold for over 13 years and we appreciate his kindness and keeping Buster happy and healthy.

Previous to my dog's appointment, the staff had just been through a very upsetting one and as always, they were wonderful and caring to everyone.

Amazing with the animals, answers any questions or concers you have regarding your pet. Everyone is so friendly and is always interacting with you or your animal. Couldn't get any better.

Dr Gold always has excellent practical advice and genuine concern for what is best for our pets and their humans.

Tasha loves to visit the Animal Hospital of River Oaks. She likes to see all her friends and is quite annoyed if another animal gets to see Dr. Gold before her.

 by Josh Gallant on 2015-11-17
As always, it is a pleasure to have Dr Gold and his staff look after our dog. He is very personable, explains things thoroughly, is great with our kids, and offers the right amount of advice when it is asked for.

 by Rae & Barbara Townsend on 2015-11-15
Great service as always .

 by Chris Thompson on 2015-11-14
Our dog loves to visit his friends at Dr. Gold's. Sometimes we just pop in to say hello and give lots of doggie hugs. We went to purchase some treats and had excellent service! Lesley & Gordie

Always friendly service and love how much you all care about my doodlebug Prince.

 by Katie Ouellette on 2015-11-13
I needed to see a vet that day any was accomodated. I really appreciate that and my dog was well cared for, the staff was kind and friendly and the prices are fair. Im definitely making this my regular vet.

 by John & Noreen McKechnie on 2015-11-13
As far as I am concerned this is the BEST animal hospital in Oakville! We have lived many places and been associated with many Vets, we've had lots of experiences both good and bad but nothing compared to Dr. Gold and the rest of the wonderful employees. When we park at the clinic all I have to do is open the car door and my dog is already at the door trying to get in, that must tell you something about the quality of care she gets there.

 by Tamara Brogan on 2015-11-13
My visit to pick up food and meds for Bean was pleasant, as usual, thanks to the wonderful staff who are always smiling and friendly. Keep up the amazing work!

Once Tyler arrived at your office, after constantly complaining on the trip, he become his own sweet self during the entire stay, including the nail clipping, the physical examination and vaccination. What is your secret? Can one take a cat whispering course? I'm sure Dr. Gold and the entire staff would be eminently qualified to teach it.
