"My 9 year old cocker spaniel was one of their first clients on the opening day. They’ve now treated her for two issues that we put off over covid, including a surgery. Dr June, Tina and the rest of the team clearly adore animals. They are patient, have a strong attention to detail and my dog adores them. Highly recommend."

“Compassionate, understanding and knowledgeable.
In a world where we all care dearly for our little furry friends and would do anything for them, it is extremely refreshing to have an experience where your vet listens and makes a decision with you (not for you) and in your best interests (not their bottom line).
Dr Chan took the time to listen to our concerns, offer insights and present our solutions with logical risk assessment for both the condition in question and the impact on our pet (who does not do well in social environments).”

"Our first visit to Fraserview Vet was great! Dr. June Siu and the staff treated our dog Momo with care, and were happy to answer all the questions that we had about Momo. I would highly recommend future and existing pet owners to come here or their sister hospital, Point Grey Vet, if you want your pets to be professionally cared for."
