Don’t take our word for it – see what our satisfied clients have to say:
“These folks are something special. Our pup is equal parts anxiety and excitement and he’s nearly impossible to keep still and calm around most people. The vets here have set us up with everything we need to help him be calm and happy at every appointment and he actually loves going because they’re so sweet! Their advice is solid, the care is incredible, and our dog loves them. Their pricing is a little higher than normal but it’s worth it for our little dude to enjoy a usually scary experience. ♥️”

“Having had dogs most of my life, Fraserview is the best vet I’ve been to. My boy Bucky had a traumatic experience at a previous clinic and has a nervous disposition in general – all of the staff at Fraserview have been so kind and patient with him that every time we go, he improves drastically in his anxiety, and I couldn’t ask for more than that. Dr. Carmen Chan is a wonderful veterinarian—she is open and approachable whilst being efficient and kind. I have never felt rushed or pushed into anything, and she takes great care of Bucky – all of the staff do. I can’t recommend Fraserview enough. Thanks for all that you do from Bucky and me.”

“The team at the clinic were exceptionally caring and attentive to my dog’s needs. After a previous awful experience, I was relieved to find that they were able to make my dog, Ramona, feel calm despite her discomfort in veterinary clinics. The doctor and nurse sat on the floor to create a more relaxed environment helping my dog become less agitated. Their approach to gathering Ramona’s health history was thorough, they listened carefully to all details. They asked questions and took the time to ensure that every concern I had about her health was addressed and validated. This level of attentiveness and empathy truly sets them apart from other clinics. Based on my positive experience, I highly recommend Fraserview Veterinary Hospital to anyone seeking compassionate care for their pets. I’m looking forward to returning soon for Ramona’s next health check-up.”
