Gentle and kind with my older dog; able to cope with my younger, fear-aggressive dog. Helpful advice, receptive. I do prefer to be asked before having wormers, etc, prescribed, however.

My cat wasn't feeling well and I called and managed to get a same-day appointment! At my old vet's office it would likely have been weeks to get in. The techs and the vet were kind, helpful and thorough. My very anxious cat was the best behaved I've ever seen him and they even had to take a blood sample so that's saying a lot. It was a welcoming place with kind, friendly staff. I was very impressed with North Van's pet hospital.

This morning, my 11 month old puppy ate a toxic flower and needed immediate medical attention. Most of the vet clinics I called on the north shore either had their doctors in surgery, or their only response was to have me drive over town to try and get her into an emergency clinic. I called the staff at North Van pet hospital and they instantly got Dr. Mehdi on the phone with me and he got Gracey and I in within minutes. The staff was very patient with me while I was mid-panic, they took action right away to help Gracey, and at the end Dr. Mehdi came out to explain the process and to give me more

When our regular vet couldn't see our cat because they were too busy, the staff at North Van Pet Hospital, did everything they could to squeeze in our very unhappy cat and did a great job taking care of her.

Starting from the 1st phone call I made to book an appointment until they said goodbye after my visit with my 11 year old cat Zoey, I found exceptional service at North V Pet Hospital. Consideration, compassion, no long, endless waits. Professional and courteous. I would highly recommend them.

I've been really happy with the quality of care, thoroughness of their questions & investigations about my puppy's health, the staff are experienced + caring, and they follow-up with a call/text after each procedure or vaccination to see how the puppy is doing. Dr. Mehdi is professional & knowledgeable, very personable and provides amazing care to my puppy.
