    Dr Hodge and Tabitha are the best! My husband and I have taken our cat and dog there for years now. They are so caring and compassionate. Tabitha the Vet Tech is absolutely amazing. She is so personable , her caring and friendly demeanor really makes you feel like your family. My dog absolutely loves her and he gets so excited every time he sees her, which is a sure sign of their amazing care. I recommend Dr. Hodge and Harbourside animal clinic to everyone!

    My pets have been seeing Dr. Hodge for over 12 years now! We started going to him at Cross Creek Animal Medical Centre and then moved to Harbourside. He is always kind and compassionate even with my spicy kitty! He always offers the best suggestions to help keep my babies healthy!

    Sharing my own experience, as I want people to be aware of perceived tactics to corner you and make you pay exorbitant amounts of money on nothing while initiating mountains of worry & fear for nothing. I brought my cat and dog in as new patients a few months ago, as I recently moved to the area and was looking to get them established. My dog was kind of written off, but I brought my otherwise totally healthy cat (she does eat special food for her urinary condition, so I wanted to get her checked up) and was told by the vet something along the lines that she “possibly has a 50% chance of having cancer”. Nearly $4,000 later, the vet kept saying that they needed to do more (and more invasive) tests, yet I didn’t see anything wrong with her nor were they ever able to give her an official diagnosis…just a “need” for more tests. Based on my experience, I believe this vet preys on the hearts of animal lovers by assuming they’ll pay anything just as long as they keep using very vague, very scary medical terms to try and insist your pet *might* have a serious condition. I cried and cried for weeks thinking my cat was going to die, but then I started noticing a pattern that another comment mentioned — I never actually got to meet the vet, the vet would continuously use jargon and scary-sounding terms to get me back in, even when nothing was wrong. They bombard you with phone calls and emails trying to get more money. It’s really sad. What’s worse, they said I would have to repeat the tests at least every 6 months…I’m sorry, but I rescued my cat years ago and she’s never had a problem beyond what her prescription food is able to fix. I’m not paying +$8,000 annually for her to “maybe have a problem, maybe it’s nothing.” I will be changing vets happily, as I did not sign my cat up to be a test subject for this facility. She’s elderly and going to live the rest of her life as happily as possible, and I am disappointed with the “care” received from Harbourside.

    Wonderful, caring staff will make you feel welcome from the moment you step inside. They saw my dog same day for a broken toe. If you are anywhere in the city I'd look no further. Lovely loft style decor.

    My dog has some health and major anxiety issues so I was concerned when moving about finding a good vet but Dr. Hodge put my mind at ease with our visit to him. He and Tabitha could not have made it a better experience, they were both wonderful with my little Maltese and spent ample time going through her issues (previous history and current concerns) with me. Many thanks to both of them for taking the time with us to be so thorough and answer all of my many questions!!
