What Our Clients Say

For over 50 years, families across Niagara Falls have trusted us with the pets they love. Here is what a few of them have to say.

We brought our puppy Chop here for his second check up, the veterinarian was Dr. Angus Milne , we were so impressed with the professionalism and care Dr Milne gave Chop. The staff here are all so compassionate and friendly as well. The kindness shown from Dr Milne and the staff was truly amazing. I can't thank them enough.

Chop's Family, Pomeranian

I can’t recommend this vet office enough. I have had the unfortunate luck to have to not only rush both of my dogs in on short notice, but also most recently, all of my cats due to a bat getting into my unit and needing emergency rabies vaccines. I’m so so thankful they were accepting the vouchers from public health. The vets there, Dr.Mergl and Dr.Angie’s both out so much attention into my animals. My one dog slashed her paw open and I had rushed her to emergency in Hamilton and the called me to check in and see how she was doing and check her paw when it seemed to have not been healing well. They are so unbelievably attentive and I know if it wasn’t for them, on numerous occasions, I would have had more loss than I can manage. They have accepted my personal pets and those who come into my rescue and the rescue I’ve partnered up with. They do whatever they can to save lives and I’m so grateful for everything they’ve done for me, my animals and the animals in the community we work hard to save. They don’t just care for you, they care about your story, how much your baby means to you, the grieve with you and care about the quality of work they do. They are and will be my NUMBER 1 recommendation. Thank you to the whole team for their amazing dedication and kindness.

Great first impression with this vet. After searching around for a new vet because of a bad experience my senior cat unfortunately had at our previous vet that has now left him extremely anxious with going to the vets now, I ended up finding Niagara Falls Animal Medical Centre and decided to give them a try. Cannot say enough good things about this vet and their team here, from the moment you walk in you and your pets are made to feel extremely comfortable and cared for. The vet techs and Dr. Taztel were amazing with my senior boy Barney and made the entire appointment as stress free as possible for him. I'm very glad I found a new vet office here with them and will be bringing my other cats here as well.

Flexible Payment Options for Your Pet's Care

From routine wellness care to unexpected emergencies, we now offer payment plan options to help make managing the cost of your pet's veterinary care easier. Call us today to learn more about available payment options.

Personalized Veterinary Services

If you’re concerned about your pet’s dental health, diet, or energy level, you can speak to our veterinarians to get personalized recommendations. Even behavioral concerns can sometimes be caused by underlying medical issues. For example, if your friendly dog has started to nip whenever he is touched, he may be in pain due to a medical condition. Treating the underlying condition should help correct the behavior. That’s where we come in. We’ve served the Niagara Falls Region since 1974.

Visiting the Vet

If your pet behaves badly in stressful situations, a vet visit can be an ordeal. Being surrounded by unfamiliar animals and strange smells and sounds can be scary. However, regular veterinary checkups are important, and there are things you can do to help your pet cope. Encourage your pet to associate our office with good things by bringing him in from time to time just for cuddles and treats.

Celebrating 50 Years of Care and Community

On October 19th, Niagara Falls Animal Medical Centre proudly celebrated 50 years of serving pets and their families with an Open House and Fundraiser event. The day was filled with joy, gratitude, and community spirit as we honored our incredible journey.

Highlights of the event included a visit from Mayor Jim Diodati, MP Tony Baldinelli, and a representative for MPP Wayne Gates, who presented us with certificates celebrating 50 years of excellence. Special recognition was given to our dedicated staff members: Stacey Parisi for 42 years of service, Dawn Marshall-Young RVT for 38 years, and Heather Mayer, our receptionist, for 26 years.

The event featured delicious food from a food truck, giveaways, apple cider, chocolate paw prints, and fabulous baskets for auction. Thanks to the generous donations of our clients and community, we raised $3,000 for the Farley Foundation, which supports pets belonging to low-income seniors, individuals with disabilities, and women in crisis.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who attended and contributed, making this milestone truly unforgettable. Here’s to another 50 years of compassionate care and community connection!
