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.

The vets are kind, knowledgeable, caring and do what needs to be done, without recommending or charging for more procedures, medicines, etc. that may not be necessary to maintain a healthy pet.

They have a shuttle service from Horseshoe Bay from Vancouver pets coming to Nopawblems Care, so book early always! The best is worth it. Reasonably priced, excellent staff, good food or bring your own. I have trusted her with several daycare 11-4 p.m. Just to see her getting used to the other dogs, kennel and owners. She's highly sensitive husky mix. It took a few visits. We got to a weekend, a week and one ten day stay. When the last thing you want to worry about on vacation, on a tight budget, is your dogs well-being ... I trust Nopawblems. She's is a little highly stimulated each time. She prefers home. But she's not upset or frightened. I am secure with my choice. If anything comes up she is in the best hands.

I have taken my dogs here for 9 years. to this exceptional kennel. It is a large and beautifully…read moremaintained facility in a rural setting. My pets have always received the best care possible. I took one of my young dogs to a session with Joyce for help with his aggressive behaviour. I had sought help previously from a series of recommended trainers and vets. In one session,Joyce provided me more help than all the others combined. One of my very old ( 16+) dogs refused to eat one day. Realizing that this was not normal for him, and knowing his age, and after trying unsuccessfully to reach me, they took him into their home and sat with him. He passed away peacefully in a few hours, in the company of loving humans. After speaking to me, they took him to a local vet and had him cremated and gave me the ashes. It was a hard sad time, and I cannot imagine a better way to end a long life. This is absolutely the best place for a dog to be. The only drawback is that they are so good- and it is not easy to get a space.

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!
