Dr. Annie Lin is fantastic. I’ve never experienced a vet who took so much time to care for our pup and explain his test results. All the possibilities. She was kind and gentle, very caring. Put us at ease. Very grateful for her patience in handling all our questions and bear is doing well!

I asked my veterinarian to refer me to Canada West for oncology diagnostic services for my cat who was in a critical state. She was diagnosed with renal carcinoma at 11 years of age and otherwise healthy her whole life. Canada West rejected her and told me over the phone they saw her report but chose to not take her on. They only told me that after I had called when my vet said they didn’t have any spots available. I was told my cat had days, maybe weeks to live. But she was never a priority to Canada West. The person on the phone said, “renal failure is common”. I had to put my cat down shortly after. I also learned Canada West Veterinarians work on commission. Thank you for adding to my heart ache, Canada West.

We are really impressed with the amount of care and knowledge from every person we have dealt with here. Our puppy Winston took a fall on Sunday and fractured his arm. We are so happy we took him to Canada West for his hospitalization and surgery. We could rest easy knowing and trusting he was truly being taken care of by professionals. We will not say enough good things about this hospital. It really does make a difference to take your pet to the best place around. There is nowhere else we will take our animals if we ever (hopefully not!!) have any kind of emergency again. Thank you Canada West and everyone involved in Winston's care and surgery.

My dog has been admitted here four times in his 12 young years. Twice for CCL and twice for pneumonia. I am waiting for him to be discharged as I write this review. Each visit, the nurses and specialists have been knowledgeable, kind and caring. They call me with updates and they’re extremely thorough with the treatment given and what they plan to administer with treatment moving forward. It’s difficult to see your pet in pain because they’re a part of the family. You want the best for them. I know my pup is in good hands at Canada West and will receive the best care at their facility.

Some observations first. Scanned through the negatives. The 2 doctors mentioned by name aren't on the roster - so that's something assuming the site is updated. They let you bring your own food & meds. They don't have a policy requiring sedation for ultrasounds. Easy cash grabs. 4 years ago they cleaned out both elbows. He went from being lame for the better part/year to having 3 very active years. My mistake was waiting too long to escalate things. This week, they removed a kidney stone & apparently it couldn't have gone any better. They had a couple of options going in. They contacted my family vet, reviewed our history & made an informed decision. My mistake here, forgetting they're also a 24/7 Emergency option (went Vancouver Animal Emergency first). IMO, they did a good job of explaining everything & answering my initial questions & follow up questions. Coincidentally, we had Dr. King both times. If time is on your side & you're a skeptic... hit the forums. Do some research. Fact check them. I'm a very happy, satisfied dog owner.
