We switched after an emergency visit for our cat. We were blown away by the empathy and level of care we received so we decided to switch vets, even though the location isn't the most convenient for us. Unfortunately, the vet that we originally saw no longer works here but the other vets we've seen have all been good so we'll continue coming here. Furthermore, the facilities are always spotless when we come in. The staff are all friendly and accommodating. I also love that the clinic is open on Saturdays, which makes things so much more convenient! Parking is easily found at the lot out front. I honestly can't recommend this clinic enough!

We met Dr Andrew under the worst circumstances. We had a severely injured kitten that needed to be…read moreeuthanized. Despite not knowing us from a hole in the ground or the kitten, and it being very late at night, they came back in from their home for me. We were desperate. All the other clinics" we had contacted....despite it being obviously the kitten was mortally wounded and suffering...said no. Of course during our call to Oriole Road clinic we were crying our eyes out and bawling the entire time. This of course continued through out our visit when we go there. Despite that Dr Andrew patiently and thoroughly examined the patient in a kindest most gentle way. We felt he cared for that kitten as much as if he had known it a long time. We were horribly embarrassed at our blibbering and blowing our nose into a kleenex every 5 seconds, entirely grateful they would not only see us, but were patiently translating the blibbering into coherent English....and despite the bad news we got we were treated with utmost respect and kindness. The kitten was put out of its suffering as was needed. As a purebred Ragdoll Cattery we truly rely on our vets expert advice. They teach us stuff every time we are there...and of course we want absolutely the best care for our fur babies. Its a bit of a trek out to Valleyview, but well worth it. ALL the staff are extremely helpful every time we are there. All the staff are open, honest and caring. Unlike other places, we have never had them pad their bill or try to fear monger you into things that really are not necessary. In fact.... they will try to find ways to save you money. You always get enough info you can arrive at an informed decision and you leave knowing your cat got absolutely the best care and you made the right decision...even when its an awful decision. At Oriole Road their care extends to their Forever Mom and Dad's as well and we thank them for that. Dealing with an obsessed bona fide old cat lady- we know - can be a challenge...They do it with the utmost care and attention.

Zero care here!!! The worst vet I've ever come across and I've seen them all, from cattle to cats…read more I brought my dog here because I called my regular vet that had been closed for unforeseen circumstances and they recommended twin rivers in their absence. I am ashamed I didn't do much research on these degenerates as I was worried and wanted to get my best friend looked at as soon as possible. I had already started my beloved 9 year old boy on antibiotics for an open wound on an enlarged elbow callous and wanted to know if the growth had any other underlying issues... needless to say I left there with no answers, just awaiting the results of an aspirated biopsy and $800+ bill. Four days later the vet called back to tell me the biopsy results showed nothing cancerous and to continue the antibiotics... thanks tips... as my buddy finished the course of antibiotics he showed marked improvement. In about a week I saw him decline very quickly, he wouldn't eat or drink one evening and in the morning started to show symptoms of laboured breathing. I called the twin rivers vet immediately asking for emergency callback (9am on workday). After 2 hours of waiting I found an alternative emergency care clinic and brought him in right away. I had him at Phases' on an IV before lunch and devastating news of fluid around all his major organs with cancer as the most likely cause. After having to carry my listless 100 pound boy into the clinic, seeing him not able to breathe without visible discomfort and realizing I couldn't put him through any more painful surgeries for my benefit of having him around a tiny bit longer I made the heart wrenching decision to let him go to sleep painlessly in my arms (thankful to the veterinarian at Phases for a very emphatic and professional procedure). That mother f@&$ing vet at twin rivers had the gall to callback the next day after 3pm when I was out of the house to ask what I wanted??? He is very lucky I was out because I WANTED to cause him pain... as much pain as I think my poor baby boy went through for over a week because of his absolute incompetence or deliberate negligence to do his job!!! He should quit before someone else who doesn't have as much constraint and family obligations to deter them from getting revenge on this POS! PS. just so everyone knows this was not a money motivated review; I have never had pet insurance before nor have I had such an extensive medical experience with any pet prior to this... my beloved boy had TPLO surgeries on both hind legs in his adolescence and an enucleation by a veterinary ophthalmologist just a year ago. If these are foreign surgeries for some, we are talking $15,000+ I love him dearly and would happily pay to have him here with me today!

In Kamloops when you need a vet after hours, your call is routed to a central line and forwarded to whichever clinic is open that day so I had no choice where I had to take her. The vet and the vet tech who were working that day were fantastic. Rabbits are very finicky pets and it can be difficult finding a vet that will take them on as a patient. The vet here was great with her and put many of my concerns at ease. He gave me lots of advice for what I could do for her once we got home. This particular visit was quite expensive but that was mostly due to the additional emergency fee that I had to pay for coming in on a Sunday. Otherwise their rates were comparable to what I've seen at other clinics. The thing I appreciated the most was how the vet tech called me the next day to follow up with how things were going. I really appreciated the caring and concern. Next time I need a vet I will definitely be bring my rabbit here!

If you own a cat, or cats, this vet clinic is the ONLY one that you should ever think about going…read moreif you live in Kamloops, heck even if you have to drive a little from out of town to get here, its well worth the trip. I have been a cat owner for almost 20 years and I have been to countless vets during those years, some of those experiences have been horrific, others I would have called very good until I went to this Vet Clinic, and they have completely raised the bar at what a great experience at the Vet actually is after experiencing the absolutely amazing customer service, kindness, caring, consideration and the genuine love for felines that everyone who works at this Vet Clinic has. You can tell as soon as you walk in everyone who works there absolutely loves cats, you can tell they want what is best for the animal and the Vets as well as the veterinary assistants are all extremely knowledgeable and I have never once gotten the feeling as if they were unsure or perhaps didn't know what they were talking about (which unfortunately is a feeling Ive gotten many times in the past at other places) They also have extremely fair pricing and they don't add on extra items that are unnecessary in order to line their pockets. The thing that made me really really love them was the was things were dealt with after having to sadly have my best friend, my 14 year old Siamese put to sleep. They were beyond empathetic and helpful, both emotionally as well as practically, helping to figure out all the final arrangements without feeling at all rushed. I was absolutely shocked and surprised to get a lovely card in the mail from their office about a week later losing my cat. This card was not some generic, computer typed message that they send to every pet owner who loses an animal, but literally signed by at least five or six different staff members with genuine with messages of sympathy for the loss of my cat. It made me cry and I will keep it forever. As if this wasnt all great enough, I just now got an email saying that they have my cats paw prints and I can pick them up anytime...That wasnt even something I was aware that they did, but Im beyond thankful that they did and I can have something else to remember him by. Seriously, if you have a cat go here don't even think twice, you and your cat(s) thank me later. My hairless cat, Butter Chicken actually loves going there. He gets sooooo much love and attention every time he goes there, Im pretty sure he thinks hes a superstar at this point. :) Thank you so so much The Cat Hospital of Kamloops for your caring and compassion.

The vet that looked at my dog did not do it in front of me and I had no clue exactly what kind of examination was given all I know is I had paid for an exam and had paid for the toenails to be cut and also the dew claws to be cut and they were not done as I had taken my dog for grooming and the groomer told me and showed me that the nails were not done. The communication at this Clinic is terrible. I asked to have my prescription for my dog refilled and they are holding my dog hostage basically by saying he has to come in for an examination. He had just been in allegedly for an examination. I do not trust those vets at all and I would never ever recommend them and now they won't even see me because I'm letting them know how I feel about them. Yes I used the freaking word not the actual f word but I was very upset and could not control my anger towards them.
