Shaughnessy Veterinary Hospital Ltd

If I could give more than 5 stars I would!!! Shaughnessy Vet Hospital has taken such excellent care of my labrador since he was just 8 weeks old. The staff is consistently caring and kind, and make you feel welcome and valued. I have never had a bad experience, and I recommend them to all my friends and family who have pets. I have found that they are thorough, and hold your pets health as a priority...what else could you possibly ask for. A big thanks to Dr. Leah Hestrin Montgomery and to Dr. Sylvia S. Huang for your loving care today with my pup Sailor! He loves you guys and all the hugs and treats! I simply would not trust my pups health and well being with anyone else.

I previously worked as a behaviour consultant in the lower mainland of British Columbia, and I was always confident in recommending Shaughnessy Veterinary Hospital to my clients, who were typically afraid to take their dogs to the veterinarian. The staff there are fantastic, and they offer exceptional and compassionate veterinary care and low-stress visits for pets and their guardians.

We just switched Vets due to my dog having some issues with his legs, needing surgery, and we wanted to feel comfortable at our vet. Shaunessy is our new place! Dr.Nevin is amazing and cares about my dog. She was absolutely great. If your looking for a vet that has friendly employees, is easy to get into, and has just an all around great attitude as a business, Come here! I'm so happy we switched.

Customer service is good however there is lack of communication. I brought in my daughter's puppy Kooper to be spayed and they went over the procedure and cost of it and left. Within the hour I got a call saying that her blood cell count is low and that we will have to postpone which is fine. When I came in to pick her up I was charge $198 for an examination bill that I was not aware of. I have no problem paying for service but I should have been notified of this before hand. This experience has left a bad impression of the Clinic. How would you feel if this happened to you?

Don’t go unless your pet needs antibiotic. They most definitely like to dish them out. I brought my little friend (6yr old) dog in for a possible UTI, after chasing him around the yard to collect a urine specimen, I was told it was too old and a catheter needed to be inserted. Both specimens showed the same result. So, antibiotics were prescribed. After about 2 weeks, went back as he continued with the same problem. So another antibiotic was Rx. This continued every 2 weeks, without getting better. They just kept checking the urine, no other tests. Finally, enough is enough, I changed vets. First visit at new vet, a full head to tail assessment done and walla, a diagnosis was done, with a poor prognosis. My little fella succumbed to Prostate cancer (that was diagnosed with an xray) within 4 months. If you really care about your 4 legged friend, seek out another vet, but research them out too.
