Took my dog there who was falling down and had nystagmus. They saw him quickly. Didn't try to order a bunch of useless tests. Provided a good explanation of his illness and plan. Overall good experience.

Warm welcoming staff from receptionists to the Vet that care for my cat. Highly recommended as they have a large storefront to accommodate space for animals, especially a cats only section.

After working in veterinary medicine for years I’m quite picky with where I take my fur babies for care. Burnside vet has exceeded my expectations. Even when they are busy they make every effort to provide the… best care possible. My dog is very sensitive but absolutely loves the whole team! They are accommodating and very considerate to each pets needs. Thank you burnside vet! Levi thinks you’re the best and so do I ♥️

The veterinarians and staff have always taken great care of our dogs (with a variety of needs and personalities). Current treatment options and preventative care. No issues having a raw fed dog.
