Our beloved dog passed with private home euthanasia service by our veterinarian in February 2022... as 3 times before we contacted Until We Meet Again to arrange service for private cremation... but it was 1st time after company was sold to new owner in Surrey. This time UWME tried to charge us $1000 for private cremation of our beloved dog (35kg)... For this price you can cremate 500kg horse!!! I was in disbelieve and shock! how owners of this important service can be so heartless. I still can't believe in this, it took me over year to be able to write about what happened. Shame on you UntilWeMeetAgain owner - you prey on people in the most vulnerable and sensitive time, it just shows you are only about money, nothing else. We found a way to service our boy with dignity and for normal price.

A few years ago my co-worker was complaining that her vet in North Burnaby charged $980 to get her cat's teeth cleaned. She didn't believe me when I told her I paid approx. 1/3 what she paid. Since I rarely clean out my purse, I still had my invoice which I showed her. She was shocked and took a copy of it to show her vet. Also, Dr Hans is not pushy about treatment. He discusses all options and the costs associated with those options. His long time staff are super nice too. I definitely recommend Metrotown Animal Hospital to anyone looking for a vet.

I would select zero stars if there was that option. My cat passed away at home, and I had to take…read morehim directly to Pets Furever. They told me I could pick up the urn in 4-5 days. Nobody called me in over a week. I finally picked up the box urn and left. I was an hour outside of home (Vancouver) and didn't want to wait to see the urn, so I went to a cafe and took it out from the nicely wrapped bag. I was horrified at what I saw. First, the urn was ridiculously oversized for a 3lb cat. Second, the engraving was crooked. Third, there were ugly flecks of gold paint all over the top. Finally, my last name was spelled incorrectly on the certificate. I was speechless and in tears. And because they had screwed the box closed, I couldn't even take the ashes out of the ugly urn. I returned the same evening asked for a refund. I wanted to take my kitty home, which was still an hour's drive back. They apologized, confirmed with the manager, and said the refund would be processed the next day. It was not processed the next day. In fact, I never heard from anyone. On the fifth day of waiting, I emailed them, demanding my refund the next day. I received the refund. But that wasn't the end. I stupidly took the manager's offer for a replacement urn. At the time of writing, it's three days late, and I'm too tired to write about the rest of the story. This is just a mere representation of my mental and emotional exhaustion and distress dealing with Pets Furever during a time of immense loss and grief.

Dr. Lang and Dr. Dalla-Tina came to our home for our 15 year-old sweet Golden girl and gave us the time we needed with her, no rush, no impatience whatsoever, just calmness and consideration. They outlined the process step-by-step, explaining everything. They truly KNOW and care how emotional and difficult this moment is. Our girl barely went in to a vet so we are 100% appreciative of the care she received and the opportunity to have the comfort of being at home with her family, the place she loved more than anywhere else. The choice we made to be at home with her was really the kindest, most loving decision we could have ever made for our beloved girl. No regrets.

We finally visited S.A.I.N.T.S. this weekend. Well overdue - for years! This animal haven for senior and special needs animals was just heart-warming and full of love. Founder, Carol Hine is a nurse during the day and a "saint" by night. She started this sanctuary in 2004 and it's grown into a beautiful home and 3-acre property to these wonderful animals. Some of the animals have ended up at S.A.I.N.T.S. as a result of animal cruelty cases, abandonment, extended stays at animal shelters, owners moving, owners not being able to afford looking after their sick or disabled animals any longer. Weekly tours happen at the facility on Saturdays and Sundays at 11:00am. Ours was led by long-time volunteer, Dawne. She did a great job providing background info and a thorough explanation of what S.A.I.N.T.S. is all about, how they care for the animals and the stories behind some of their furry residents. They currently have 130+ animals under their care including dogs, cats, horses, llamas, sheep, pigs... S.A.I.N.T.S. is always looking for volunteers, sponsorship (you can even choose which animal), and donations (monetary and non). There's a "wish list" on their site as to the items they're always in need of and you can easily donate and sponsor via their site too. S.A.I.N.T.S. has done an amazing job of turning a bad or unwanted experience into a happy sanctuary of love. Thank you for saving and caring for the animals!

The animals are so sweet and they are all very happy and friendly, I love those elderly dogs they are the most adorable dogs a group was a feeding and they were so cute all on their own pillow with their food and for the dogs that need help a helper was hand feeding one they are all very loved and it shows in their happy faces, and the farm animals are just as wonderful they are all gentle and friendly and everyone gets along, these beautiful animals are so special they are friendly and have excellent manners i really don't know their previous owners can not want them and unless it's an extreme circumstance such death or sickness of the owner how someone could abandon them and some in such cowardly ways i read the adorable pig we saw was dumped off in a mountain, that poor pig must have been terrified, for the animals here I think every single one of them is living the happiest days of their lives here they are treated like the treasures they are, such caring people who save them and love them. I've never met Carol but she's a very special lady to open up her home and create this sanctuary for elderly and unwanted animals she is a saint. It's so worth it to go on the tour even if your not an animal lover you will be by the end of the tour, I think they do tours on the weekends you may want to check their website but I can see donations are well appreciated it all goes for the animals I wished I had more cash on me to donate but will next time. If you have children they will love it people of all ages can enjoy a visit here. The Llama Carl will make you laugh he's so cute I love his personality.
