Before the ex and I broke up, she would always take Charlie to Richmond Companion Animal Clinic.
Since he's been in my possession, I decided to continually take him there, and the service is great!
He was recently neutered-  | |

I used to live in burnaby and I take my dog to North Burnaby pet hospital and even though I move to the killarney area now, I still take my guy there because of the great service and also knowledgeable vet

South burnaby veterinary hospital is where I go now. went to Killarney vet hospital before and they just don't seem to care at all, south burnaby vet on the other hand is all women vets and from my experience women vets just seems to care and want to help more. Great service and lots of info and options for your pet.

The only reason why alot of people still go to this shithole is due to their cheap rates.I still wonder how this place is still open and the doctor has not had their medical licence taken away already.
If I were a animal,I would want my gaurdian to take me to the best doctor possible when I'm sick,not some mickey mouse doctor that has more fuckups then they can count.

This part is a joke! What bias is he claiming? If he means seperating the good vets from the shitty ones,then yes it is biased,but it's a good way.
The sad part is,he will most likely move to a different province or operate undergrand and start this shit all over again.
I can't imagine what kind of damage this guy would have done if he practiced on humans.

No problem.If we could just convince one person not to take their beloved pet to this shithole,we feel like a job well done.
Since you're in Surrey,I highly recommend Newton animal hospital,I have one friend that lives in North Van and she takes her Pom there.I also got all three of my dogs ears cropped there too,I aslo know of many others who have been there for the same procedure.

as a general rule of thumb I avoid all brown vets. Most of them have their degrees from overseas and in india the way people treat animals in general is just horrible.
Killarney vet is not bad but I always call in ahead of time to make sure Vivian (I forget her last name) is there.
My friends yorkie had issues with having to have his ears cleaned, the other vet @ killarney kept keeping him overnight to put him to sleep then clean his ears. We did this a few times but it was getting expensive, out of luck one day we went to vivian and she told us straight up that it was just a cash grab to put the dog to sleep. She gave us a bottle of medicine and said to just clean his ears ourselves. Been going back to her ever since.

^ in regards to that comment about brown doctors, there's this one brown vet in surrey at a place called high point animal hospital. I've been reading a whole bunch of reviews on the place and everything has been positive. Actually he's rated as the best vet in surrey. Spykers comments on newton animal hospital seem to be inline with comments I've heard from others as well. I think I'm going to take my APBT named Knight there to get his ears cropped.

Yeah, I don't think all brown vets are all that bad....I dealt with one in Cloverdale...He wasn't bad at doing his job, but he was just a horrible people person....He got the job done, but didn't care so much to be friendly with the animals and whatnot and he wasn't all that much of a people person either...
There was a time when my dog swallowed rat poison when he was younger and I immediately took him to this Cloverdale guy. He got the job done, made him swallow a bunch of liquid charcoal to get him to throw up, but when he saw me crying about it he turned to my dad and told him that I need to toughen up and that it's "only a dog"......are you shitting me....only a dog? Your entire career is because of "only a dog"....
ugh, needless to say, I told my parents we're never going back there again...We now go to the Newton Animal Hospital that Teh Doucher mentioned...
Also, there's also a great brown vet at "186th St. Animal Hospital"....He's great with people and great with dogs as well...He seems like he was born here though, so that would make a difference too.
There was also another in South Surrey, Dr. Hair, and I've heard only good things about him as well. He's already retired now though.

my vet at metrotown animal hospital is brown as well, but i've had nothing but good experiences with him so the comment about brown vets is not always true, as backed by the previous comments.
my vet seems to know what hes doing, doesn't do unnecessary things and provides the proper medication. hell, he even gave me medication free because i saw him again about rashes on my dog, and he asked about the cream, and told him my dog chewed up the tube that he gave us. so he gave me another one and told me that its on the house and to not worry about it. if problems still persist after the 2 weeks, go back and see him.

All three of my dogs have had ear infections(cropped ears),not once have I had to put one under to flush out the ear,all it took was ear medication and ear flush solution.I found the best way to prevent ear infections is to flush out the dogs ears once a week.
I will not put a dog under unless I absolutely have to,when putting a dog under,there is a chance they may not wake up when the procedure is over.I 'm not willing to take that chance at all unless it's really neccesary.
