Dr VJ booked a scheduled Frenchie c-section and then left for vacation. Not impressed, this was my second expedite poor service, a past vet here botched an emergency c-section and left the puppies on the floor to get cold. Dr VJ was told of this and assued me that he would do our next c-section! LIARS. DO NOT TRUST THEM. I already had ptsd from the first surgery and them treated like crap for the second.... shame on me for trying them again! Don't do it! read more

Clearbrook Animal Hospital - Bella relaxing after they cleaned out an ear infection and anal gland issue. - Veterinarians Near Me - Abbotsford, British Columbia

I cannot say enough about this animal hospital. My dog needed to get xrays quickly. I explained the problem with my dog, and I was told to bring her right in. Everyone there are amazing, caring and compassionate. They explained what needed to be done. They worked with me regarding money, they did what needed to be done. My dog and I are so relieved, we know if something goes wrong, all I need to do is call or go in. If your pet needs help in any way, staff at Clearbrook Animal Hospital will take care of your pet and will ensure you know what is going on and what you need to do. Your pet is in good hands at Clearbrook Animal Hospital. Thank you so so much! Sincerely, Joanne read more

Critical: Professionalism, Quality, Reliability, Responsiveness, Value I foster dogs for a Rescue organization that had been using Clearbrook Animal hospital for 14 years. During these years there have been many issues such as administering wrong dosages of medication, prescriptions with hand written labels, infections and wrong diagnoses. Since the Rescue director had a long-standing relationship with the clinic, she sat down on many occasions to voice these concerns . However things have deteriorated even more over the last couple of years to the point of serious negligence and service to clients . Recently, extremely negative experiences have destroyed my trust in the vetting process at Clearbrook Animal Hospital altogether! I am a very involved & committed foster and a representative for the Rescue. I felt it was time I spoke up. The staff and vets have been rude to the fosters for asking questions, and It has been extremely difficult to get clear answers; messages are not responded to; office calls are often not returned; and any update on a dog's condition is provided only in a cursory and minimally explanatory manner. This behavior has all led to a recent tragedy. One of our dogs has died after not being treated properly after a major surgery . The dog had a major lump removal surgery on July 27 /21. The lump was attached to the outer uterus as well as the kidney. Floofus the dog was initially treated with pain meds ,& antibiotics for 3 days after the surgery that was performed. After she was released, we told them she was not having bowel movements for days and not doing well. Aug 6 /21 we insisted that something was very wrong & we took her back into the clinic. We were told that she had a bladder infection and we needed her to stay on antibiotics and IV a few days . On Sunday Aug 8/21 we were told 3 different stories saying that she was eating, drinking and going to the washroom just fine and even playing with another dog in the back room. We were told to pick her up & she was sent home with some more antibiotics and stool softener. That night, as the dog's suffering continued, the Rescue director tried to contact the vet over and over again by calling and texting . He saw the messages of concern but he did not respond . We could not reach anyone at the clinic at all after many attempts. Monday Aug 9/21 Floofus was still straining to poop and there was some blood in her diaper. We were finally able to get hold of the Clinic front desk and they told us she is absolutely fine and just needs to finish her antibiotics and some blood was just fine ....not a problem. Floofus did not make it . It was determined by the autopsy done by the animal emergency clinic vet to which she had to be rushed, that our vet who did the surgery was not equipped to handle such a major surgery . Plus, their evidence points to the surgery done by our vet as having been done in non-sterile circumstances ! How could something like this go undetected and misdiagnosed 2x as a simple UTI ?! Well, we would say because of minimal hurried examinations plus incorrect follow up and treatment despite the fact that though we came back and continually let the vet know that the dog was still suffering ! Maybe because of the horrible circumstances of trying to get hold of the vet by phone or messages indicating: urgent , dog is suffering, please call back we need help - and not receiving any follow up at all, no call backs and the final straw ..... A message from Dr. VJ, the vet, saying simply "we did what we could - find yourself another vet" THIS CLINIC HAS BECOME ALL ABOUT THE MONEY - Trying to get as many people in and out of the clinic as possible in one day with untrained staff . Not only have dogs suffered, but we are all dealing with the stress, heartbreak, and pain of this whole horrible situation! Unconscionable! Disgraceful! If This is your dog's Doctor : Where is the accountability ? The compassion ? The ethical treatment? ..... read more

Please don't take your loved animal here. They killed my cat. She went in with a small infection on her back side and came out with a 8 inch badly sewn incision that tore open a day later. She was very sick. Took her back and they said oh yes she needs to be sewn up again and proceeded to charge me again. Took her to another vet whom stated she most likely wouldn't make it from the two back to back surgeries and being twice put under so close together. She never recovered. Please if u love your pet as we did avoid this place. Terrible terrible service and disgusting treatment to our baby. read more

I took my poodle / chihuahua cross in to get her leg examined after she had injured it. She had also been unwell recently, but I thought that she was better. It turns out that she had multiple issues that needed attending. The vets were helpful in explaining everything in a detailed fashion. I appreciate how they went about presenting the information clearly. Before, during, and after the operation, great care and attention was given to ensuring that everything went smoothly. My dog was in great hands. Thanks to these great vets, my dog is well again. read more

Money hungry and unreliable. Said they can't tell if my dog had a stroke "because dogs can't talk" overall came across uneducated and overpriced. No clear answers even after $1800 bill, got a second opinion and had a 20000x better experience at the mission Vet. Would never recommend this vet read more

I took my precious 2 1/2 yr. old Chihuahua, Sweet Pea, in to see Dr. Vijay today for a routine exam for pet insurance purposes. I was extremely saddened to discover that my little girl has a heart murmur and possible congenital heart failure but the doctor was absolutely wonderful and explained everything to me very clearly. He also went so far as to make payment arrangements with me for the necessary blood tests and ultrasound that is needed in order to find out exactly what her heart problems are. Being on a very fixed income, this was an absolute blessing for me. The staff are warm and wonderful and very kind. I'm so glad that I found Clearbrook Animal Hospital and I am proud to say that Dr. Vijay is my little girl's new doctor. I have every confidence that she will receive the best possible medical care here. read more

We needed to euthanize our dog due to an acute illness. That went well, but after that the gong show ensued. They misspelled our pets name on there database and didn't correct it after being instructed to do so...along with other misspelled items on the application form. They were suppose to complete and send a form to the insurance company, which they failed to do for two weeks after our pets death. I had to go into the the clinic after several phone calls to get this done just to find out that the form was incomplete,incorrectly filled in. To top it off, when I inquired when my pets ashes would be ready to pick up, they informed me that the ashes had been there for a few days and that they had already called us. But when the vet checked his phone records it was clear that no phone call to us had been made. Of course the ashes were labelled with the misspelled name. What a disgraceful way to operate a clinic. This prolonged our closure in this matter. The staff and the vet simply stood there looking hung-dog with no sincere effort expected to never do this again. Now that I see other bad reviews, I can see that this business simply is content to run as a shoddy vet clinic. DISGRACEFUL. IMMORAL. UNETHICAL. read more

I love this vet! Ive been bringing my pooch in there for the last 2 years. She has horrible allergies and when Albatross sent me to a dermatologist it cost me over 1000$ to get her checked out. When I went in to Clearbrook Animal Hospital it cost me 300$ to find out what she's allergic to and get her on some meds that helped her out. Great and friendly staff, very knowledge and everything is reasonably priced. I will continue going here with my dog and will be bringing my new pup in as well! :) read more

I took my precious girl kitty in to see the vet at Clearbrook Animal Hospital in late March. She was very sick. The girls at the front desk and the vet, Dr. Vijay, were all amazing! They were all so gentle and kind with her (and me! frantic kitty-mom...). Dr. Vijay examined her thoroughly and diagnosed her problem quickly, got her on antibiotics to get her well, and then booked a free follow up appointment. I also booked a complete dental exam and cleaning as her teeth and gums were in a very bad way, part of the reason of her acute infection back in March. The dental work, including removal of 1 rotten tooth, took place April 24/17 and I can't believe how well she is today! Happily playing and eating like her old self! I highly recommend this place; they are caring, kind and explained everything to me in terms I could understand. read more

I live in Abbotsford but my vet is in Coquitlam. I needed some meds so my vet faxed over my prescription to the Clearbrook Animal Hospital, so I wouldn't need to drive to Coquitlam to get them. I had been waiting all day for their call, but they never did call to let me know that they received the order. I called over to Clearbrook Animal Hospital at 5:00pm and at first they said they knew nothing about the order, then they did, and it was ready. I drove straight over to get the meds. They knew nothing about the order again, and it took them forever to find the prescription that my vet sent over. After a long delay, they asked my last name a couple of times. I spelled it for them, then had to spell it again. Then they asked my first name, then my dog's name. I told them my RABBIT'S name; for the second time. Then they needed the help of one of the doctors to process and fill the prescription. None of this really is critically important, but was quite unprofessional and I found it very annoying. Finally they put the meds on the counter. It says to take 4ml once a day. I questioned the amount and the vet tech, without checking, said it was right. I said that at that rate, the 6ml bottle would be out immediately and I'd be requiring a refill; she agreed. When I got home and researched the internet, I found that the dosage they printed was for 10 times the prescribed amount. This could easily create a serious life-long problem, if not kill my pet. I called my vet to confirm the dosage the next morning and they told me that it was for 0.4ml once a day. Okay, it's a simple, careless mistake, that should never ever happen, but I questioned it; twice, and they never so much as bothered to re-check the prescription that they were given. Why would I be given a prescription that states the daily dosage, but there isn't even enough to give twice; more than once but not twice? I questioned this, but the vet tech did not, nor did she care to. Moreover, they seemed to be really annoyed with me that I was doing business with them. They were unfriendly and discourteous and certainly didn't offer an apology. Maybe this is part of a work creation program that this vet participates in. I might have showed up on a slow day and they were trying to generate some new business. The Clearbrook Animal Hospital need not worry, I will never trouble them with my business again. A drive to Coquitlam is easily worth the well-being of any of my pets. read more

Clearbrook Animal Hospital in Abbotsford was 80% cheaper than my vet in Maple Ridge and they have been so good to our kitty! They warned us that the bill may get bigger once they're able to look around in kitty's mouth, and just called to say they would give us another reasonable price! Their staff is very professional and were so good to us from the moment we walked in, even when kitty was scared. They really took the time to make both of us feel comfortable and calm the cat down until he felt safe again. read more

I highly recommend this clinic! Kind and caring staff. Reasonably priced, which is a bonus. I found Dr VJ to be courteous, knowledgeable, professional and efficient. He is a good guy and it is obvious that he really cares about animals. Thank you all for taking such good care of our dog Sherman! read more

(i just spent 40 minutes writing a review and my computer shut down so this one is not as in depth as the last one) i took my 5 and a half year old dog(boss) in to get his nails cut. Hes a bit of a freak with his paws so he has to be sedated a little bit. i put a muzzle on him when we got there and they gave him a shot of sedative to the muscle(.WITHOUT weighing him) it didnt seem to be working so they gave him another shot, this one to his vein. they told me i could go back up front i said ok but didnt move. the sedative kicked in and trimmed his nails then the vet did an "exam". flicked his lip, said he had nice teeth i looked at the vet and lifted my dogs lip up and said yeah except for the broken tooth in the front and the indents in a couple of the other ones. His response was to check them again or should i say for the first time cause he obviously didnt actually look at them. the vet walked away after he was done the physical. Im going to admit im a bit of a weirdo so i had my hand on his chest, cause i couldnt see him breathing. I asked he vet "am i suppose to be able to feel his heart right now, cause i cant feel it" He was so cold while i was moving my hand around tying to find it the vet came over checked with his stethescope and tried to tell me hes fine mean while he went and got a shot with the reversal in it and proceeded to give it to my dog all with in ten-fifteen sedonds after i said i couldnt feel his heart. it took about an hour after that for him to get up on his own, with the nurses rubbing his ears to get the circulation going again. it took 12 hours after that for him to get up and eat. i went in there on a friday so had to wait for the weekend to be over before i could get in there and ask them what kind of sedative was used and asked them for my dogs file they said legally they have up to 24 hours to get the file to me. so to come back tomorrow. Why would they need 24 hours with that file if that vet didnt f*ck up somewhere? i had to pay $143.00 for them to almost kill my dog. Im saying any of this for the money back but i do want his veterinarian license. Just because you have a "reversal" for the sedative doesnt mean you can pump them full of the sedative. "oh its ok weve got the reversal" is a messed up way to think. I keep thinking if i had actually listened to that vet and gone up front while my dog was in the back, would he still be alive. Cause there was no one but me near my dog. read more

I live in the fraser valley and I took my dog there because she was limping. The guy took urine samples without any consent from me. We realized it after we noticed she was covered in urine. They didn't ask and just did this and didn't even wipe her off. He charged me for this and also charged me for 3 Xrays but only actually took 2. He was extremely unfriendly and did not give us any info unless we specifically asked about it. I did not realize this on my bill right away because we were so worried about our dog. His diagnosis was that she had a tumor in her shoulder and that she would have to get her leg amputated in a year or so. WELL her limping got worse very quickly within a week and she stopped eating. We took her to a different vet (mission vet) and they told us she had osteosarcoma (bone cancer) and that it had spread to her lungs and heart. This was very clear in the Xrays they took. We were told she had maybe 3 weeks and would have to be put down due to the pain. The clearbrook animal hospital vet didn't even give her any pain meds! He was completely clueless. I would never bring my animal there again and would recommend nobody else does either. It was very clear he just wanted to be paid and not help. He literally rolled his eyes TWICE when my dog barked. Makes me wonder if he even had a license because he obviously did not know how to read an Xray. I am furious with this place because we had to put our dog down after him telling us we had at least a year before just an amputation. Horrible horrible vet and should NOT be in business. I would give them zero stars if I could. If you care about your pets health, go somewhere else. read more

I'm very happy to have them caring for my pets and wouldn't hesitate recommending they care about the animals not the money that's hard to find I had a sick rat that had a terminal cancer that took over his head and they were honest about it I even asked about a $200 surgery and the vet said it wouldn't be worth the risk for him to have plus won't fix the cancer, that really shows just how honest and caring they are, they did everything possible for my rat to live comfortable until he passed and all the staff was so nice to him they knew him by name lol he liked visiting all the techs and it was nice of them to bypass his face and treat him so well since half his face was a massive cancer tumor with an abscess he looked like a monster and this was my choice to let him die naturally and at home he only lived about a month from getting cancer to it ending his life and he died very peacefully in his sleep, so if they can care for a situation like this it shows what wonderful people they are. read more

I am indebted to this animal hospital. I had to rush there after a quick call, they took my cat on immediately following a serious injury and helped keep me calm. They treated my cat as well as I treat him and have kept him comfortable, safe, and on the path to healing; 6 weeks of appointments, xrays, wound care, splint, and medicine. They made it easy for me, and offered to assist with anything I needed help with, 7 days a week, before and after work. They treat my cat like the loving family member that he is. The doctor is so calm and knowledgeable, and his educated decisions saved me thousands and were always in the best interest of my pet. I feel like my cat is with a family member when he is there for the day. They are so attentive and caring and made great economic decisions knowing I had weeks treatment ahead of me. Out of a sad and tragic accident they completely turned it around and I have never felt like I was alone in helping my cat heal. They gave me confidence and great advice. read more

Although I have not taken any of my pets to this animal hospital...I can tell you due to my experience with the "manager" on the phone...I will NEVER take my pets here. I received a phone call from her (I believe her name is Carrie) at my place of employment regarding my co-worker. Apparently my co-worker had an outstanding bill. The manager left a message telling me to tell my co-worker that if she didn't pay her bill by closing then she would be sent to the collection agency. Personally I do not think that is the kind of message you leave with anybody about somebody else's account. After we hung up, it just didn't sit right with me because this is absolutely NONE OF MY BUSINESS!!! I called the office back to speak with the manager (which turned out to be the person who actually called me in the first place - Great managerial skills!!!). When I told her that I didn't think she should be telling anybody else about her account...the manager told me to "mind my own damn business" & then she hung up on me! Funny thing is...THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS TRYING TO DO!!! Maybe they should think about another training session for this"manager" on dealing with the public?? read more
