Went there after days of problems and was treated so kindly by everyone in Emergency. I was admited to the hospital quickly too and stayed for 4 days. All the nurses on the 4th floor (Marge and Rachelle are amazing and so kind). Hospital did all the tests to rule out what was going on with my brain in the timeliness manner. Dr Hunter checked in routinely and listened so intently to my issues. Honestly a very well system there. Clearly there's still issues with the healthcare in BC but for it being so backlogged they really did a lot and I appreciate it. I have health trauma from being gaslit for so many years (chronic illnesses) and no one made me feel like this once. Men and women there. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

I booked a spay appointment for my kitten at Peace Arch Veterinary Hospital and the experience was very disappointing. The appointment was booked the week prior, was confirmed again by email a few days prior, and yet when I arrived I was made to wait, had my kitten taken for an exam, and then waited again. After wasting approximately 40 minutes of my time and putting my kitten through an unnecessary and stressful vet visit, I was finally told that the clinic had overbooked and could not perform the spay. This failure in scheduling exposed my cat to unnecessary handling, stress, and potential exposure to illness in a veterinary setting — all for a procedure they never intended or were never able to provide. If the clinic had even minimal respect for their clients’ time or their animals’ wellbeing, this overbooking should have been communicated before the appointment or at the very least, immediately upon my arrival, not after an exam and extended waiting period. When they finally informed me they could not accommodate my cat and saw how upset I was (I had rearranged my work schedule to ensure I could be there for her recovery), they said, “Of course we won’t charge you for this visit,” as though charging for a service they did not provide was ever an option. This comment was both inappropriate and dismissive. This was not an isolated incident. There were several smaller issues during previous visits, when I brought my kitten in for a health exam and again for vaccines. One vet was wearing the same pair of gloves in between clients and using hand sanitizer on top of the gloves which is not an appropriate form of hand hygiene. When I asked for a copy of the health report for the visit, I was told the by the vet he didn't have time to complete it today and it would be emailed to me, which it never was. They want to take your pet away from you to the back room to administer the vaccines, which I find very odd and have never expereinced before. I stated I wanted to be present for the vaccines and they accomodated this, but this practice does not make sense to me as most pet parents want to be present with their pets for appropriate procedures such as vaccine administration. The other vet I saw did not appear confident in his surgical skills and they use outdated practices such as non-dissolvible sutures in their spay and neuters - apparently only one vet who is there once a week at this practice has the surgical skill to use dissolvable sutures! On all visits, I was never seen on my appointment time, but alwasy had to wait. Taken together, these experiences point to a consistent lack of organization, accountability, not maintaining new and updated standards of practice/care and hygiene and poor basic customer care. There are many veterinary clinics in the area that prioritize clear communication, responsible scheduling, and animal welfare. Unfortunately, Peace Arch Veterinary Hospital does not. I would strongly advise pet owners to think carefully before trusting this clinic with their animal’s care.

I recently took my kittens to Peace Arch Veterinary Clinic for a check-up and their round of vaccinations, and once again, I was thoroughly impressed. The staff were amazing — incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to provide plenty of helpful information. What really stood out was how kind and affectionate they were with my kittens. It's clear that everyone there genuinely cares about the animals they treat. The clinic itself is always clean and well-organized, and I’ve never had any concerns about bringing my pets in. I’ve been a long-time client of Peace Arch and can confidently say they’ve consistently provided excellent care. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate veterinary team.

i had brought my cat Bean here for vaccinations and they suggested for me to get pet insurance because he was still young. ended up being a life saver because he ended up coming in for a vomiting issue and we did further diagnostics and found out he had heart issues. they were diligent and always so informative and helpful. they explained everything and went over an estimate with me before anything was done. i wouldn’t trust anyone else with Beans care besides these guys 💛

Brought my beautiful 8 month old British short hair here to get fixed. Took him in a couple days before hand and payed several hundred dollars to make sure he was healthy and good to go for surgery. They told me he was so strong they had to sedate him to get the blood work. Said he was super healthy and good to go. Took him in a couple days later and he got fixed. Three days later I got home from work and he was breathing really strange so I called the office and they had me come in. They were so rude and told me I had to take him to emergency and that whatever was happening with him had nothing to do with the surgery. Took him to emergency and he was coughing up blood and it was coming out his nose. He died. My beautiful healthy baby just died. They never contacted me and passed it off as if he had an underlying condition. Why did I pay all that money to make sure he was good for surgery??? This place is a joke. They don’t care about you or your animals.
