  • “I am so grateful for Galaxy Vets when our little dog, Blaze, needed help. Everyone was so good to Blaze, and to me. They were very understanding and also gave options for me to choose. After I made a mistake with the medicine, they were very professional, helpful, and considerate. Blaze is well now, and we have to thank Galaxy Vets Urgent Care. We highly recommend!”

    “We were worried about our cat and were able to see a vet quickly. The emailed summary report after the appointment was a great added touch since you don't always remember everything discussed during the visit. Our girl is doing much better and we appreciate the kindness.”

  • “The staff were wonderful with my Trixie. They went above and beyond and I would definitely go there again if I needed help with a pet of mine.”

    Beverley OF September 2026

    “I called Galaxy Urgent Care Vet in Truro on September 9th. My dog Rosie had an encounter with a porcupine late in the afternoon. I was told to bring her right over. From the time we entered the building until the time we left, I never left Rose. I was able to stay with her during sedation, quill removal and coming out of sedation. We were treated SO well, professional and caring and these people love animals! . I highly recommend this urgent care facility to anyone that has a very sick or injured pet after hours when all the other vet clinics are closed. Wonderful place, amazing people, caring professionals.”

    Barb parker September 2026
  • “We just took our very reactive dog here and although we were very nervous, the vet and vet tech on duty were so incredibly kind, patient, and professional. They were able to quickly diagnose and get treatment ready; and they explained everything thoroughly before we left the clinic. The vet tech plainly explained the costs upfront, and showed us an estimated bill before we did any treatments beyond the initial consult. All in all, we're very grateful to be able to access an emergency vet clinic without having to travel into the city.”

    Brandi Harvey August 2026

    “Galaxy Vet is the only vet I trust to look after my family. From the very first intake I felt at ease and that they really did care about the health and well being of not only my fur baby but also me. Their doctors are incredibly knowledgeable and go above and beyond in determining the best route to health for your pet. The staff genuinely cares about you, your feelings and the pet you’ve brought in for care. During my cats visit the staff sent pictures and updated me on his care. Totally above and beyond! I would not trust another clinic with my animals. It’s Galaxy Vet urgent care going forward.”

    Paula Duke August 2026
  • “Called Galaxy Vets late in the afternoon on Saturday August 15. They were willing to see Marty Saturday afternoon or evening. 12:30 pm the following day was fine with me, as the matter could wait. Very caring and professional staff. Looked after our cat’s issues promptly. Very easy people to talk to and deal with. This will be my vet of choice from here on. Thank you very much!!!”

    Steve Hansford August 2026

    “Dr. Danielle and veterinary technicians Taygan and Karleigh were absolutely wonderful with my sweet Ollie. He is a very challenging and complicated case, but they welcomed us immediately and truly treated him like one of their own. They were incredibly compassionate, thorough and willing to do everything they could to help us. Their ability to provide excellent medicine and a thoughtful spectrum of care, while remaining honest and taking the time to explain everything in detail, was so impressive. They patiently talked us through every option and made an extremely difficult situation feel more manageable. We are so grateful for the care Ollie received and so glad to now have Galaxy Vets available to our community!”

We are visiting from Toronto & Galaxy vet , made an appointment for my French bulldog to come in to have his eye tested ! Thank you 🐾❤️ I give you all 5 stars”

    Bev Casey July 2026

    “Amazing experience with this urgent care clinic yesterday! I was able rush Velvet in for a CBD toxicity (we still can’t figure out where she would’ve gotten it) and got into a room right away. Zero waiting for a vet and Dr Marco was absolutely amazing with Velvet. She tends to be nervous around new people when normal but add the toxicity, she can be even more nervous. He took his time and zero rush to get her out. I’ve been through this before with another dog of ours in the past and the cost was the same compared to our regular vet but the service from start to finish was A1 and left a great impression on me! Very well ran and clean! Very happy that Truro has this to offer us in an urgent time of need with great quality of vets and staff!”

    Nicole Boucher July 2026
  • “Thank you to the amazing staff at Galaxy Vets. I had to take my kitten, Sunny in to see them over the weekend. They diagnosed him quickly, laid out the different treatment plans and where upfront about the cost of each treatment. After we got home they even texted me to check on Sunny and give me tips on ways to give him his medicine. All the staff we came into contact with were so friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Galaxy Vets.”

    Kristen LeBlanc July 2026

    “We had a great experience with Galaxy Vets! All of the staff were fantastic! My dog was able to be seen within a couple hours of calling. They were prompt, we took it step by step to find the root of the problem and we were fortunate enough to be able to have treatment. The communication was great in all aspects including finances, there were no surprises at the end of our visit. I love that they followed up after our visit to see how our dog was doing. Would highly recommend!”
