This review is long over due as I was here over a year ago. However, I have not stopped thinking about how incredibly grateful I am for the staff and the service at this vet. My dog Gracie ended up having a Pyometra infection which they diagnosed right away. She was in very bad shape and had to stay over night to get IV fluids, antibiotics and a blood transfusion. They took such good care of Gracie, they called me through the night to update me and were very transparent that she might not make it. They recommended I book her into another vet the next day to get the emergency surgery that was required

Fantastic service during a terrifying time. My youngest rat was in respiratory distress late at night, and we found this hospital after a frantic google search. They took my ratty in immediately and had her on oxygen quickly. The staff and vet kept me up to date and showed compassion for our pet and my husband and I. The fee was extremely reasonable considering the time of night, the quick service, and nature of care provided.

I came in with my Husky puppy kekashi who had some roundworm issues. Not only did they do a full examination for the stomach they also, notified me he had a heart murmur and the precautions I can take to help him. Love the service and the proactiveness of the staff. Would come here everytime I have a pet emergency. Only wish they also did general practitioner because over all great experience. They really put my mind at ease in the middle of the night at 3 am.

I have had to (unfortunately) visit here several times for after hours emergencies for my cats across several years. I only have good things to say about the vets and staff who have helped me and my family in emergency and end of life care for our pets. It is great to know they are here and staffed 24/7 in case of emergency. Always kind, thorough, patient, and compassionate in the most stressful and difficult of times. Thank you!

Our dog was referred here with an intestinal obstruction after eating some rocks (I know, right?). Grade A care and a great surgical outcome with no wait considering the urgency of the situation. Our dog is doing great one week later and the techs are still providing phone advice because our regular vet clinic cant quite figure out post-op care. ER care costs money..the overhead of a 24/7 clinic cannot be appreciated by everyone but this clinic went above and beyond the call of duty for our dog. Thanks guys!

Not enough good things to say about this place! They helped us with an emergency with our kitten who had gotten something stuck in his mouth and we couldn't get it out ourselves. They were amazing with everything from our phone call on our way there to the end with take home instructions. They took our scariest night with our kitties and assured us that everything was going to be just fine. Exceptional animal hospital with exceptional staff.

We had several wonderful experiences with the Animal Emergency Clinic of the Fraser Valley this year. Sadly today, we brought our almost 12 year old Greater Swiss Mountain Dog in for an assessment as she was really struggling to walk. Dr. Lavely was so kind, understanding and open about options for us and our dog Kaia. She, and all of the staff, helped us make an extremely difficult day a little easier to bear. Thank you for your compassion and expertise.
