Dr. Large and the staff at Benson View took such wonderful care of our precious aging kitty to her…read morelast day, always taking the time to answer any questions or address our concerns and always helping our sweet girl feel safe. We started with Dr. Large at another clinic but once we discovered she had moved to Benson View, we followed her there very quickly where we found the ladies at reception always kind and helpful over the phone or in person. Dr. Large was not only wonderful with our cat but also caring about us as pet parents, recognizing that we would do almost anything to keep our girl as comfortable and as happy as can be for as long as possible and there were times we could have been charged much more than we were. We will be forever grateful that she introduced us to Solensia to help with a very difficult paw problem (and to the kind techs who administered it for her) and that she discovered hyperthyroidism as a cause of severe digestive upset when another clinic did not even test for it prior to the surgery that seemed to trigger it. Dr. Large was very kind when it was discovered a few months ago that our girl likely had GI lymphoma, supporting us in our choice to not putting our fragile kitty through another surgery to definitively diagnose it when we knew we could not put her through chemo. The steroids (that would help either condition) worked very well for a few months until came the time to make the very difficult decision in a pet parent's life. We had been rather traumatized by the euthanasia of our previous kitty in a different city and were very apprehensive. We and our sweet little girl felt very supported by all of the staff at Benson View on her last day, having our own quiet room to go through the process of her passing, giving us time and privacy and it was a much more gentle experience for all of us. It may be some time before we are ready to have another special kitty enter our lives but when we do, we will definitely take any future pets to Benson View for care!

My husband and i just moved to Nanaimo in the past year, and searched for a pet food store where we could be advised re best diets, treats, and feel a connection to Owner/Staff who are very knowledgeable and helpful with any questions we have! I explained to the staff that my dogs over the years really did well on a Solid Gold Diet, the owner was so knowledgeable re the distribution and told us that the distributer actually went bankrupt! They then went out of their way to help me research with their own i-Pads comparable foods and suggestions as to what food I could try!! 5 Star service above and beyond! Thank you Ladies

Extremely surprised to see him immediately sit down on the floor to handle the dog (beagle-ish) - no other vet I've been to ever did that and I've had dogs and cats for decades. He gave the impression he was connecting with her at her level as much as he was examining which, of course, he was doing. He also explained what he diagnosed (possible spine issue) in term I could understand. He didn't bat an eye as the dog was drooling on his pants. My previous vet would have been displeased to have her expensive clothes soiled. Expected a huge bill, as I had come to expect from my previous vet in Ontario. Nope. Certainly not free but shockingly reasonable. Although we are in this South Nanaimo area only temporarily, I see no reason to find a different vet when we move to a Central Nanaimo location.
