For the past five years, we've had the privilege of having Dr. Paunovic as Bella's veterinarian, starting when our Goldendoodle was just three months old. Dr. Paunovic's commitment to Bella's well-being has been evident since the very beginning.
We appreciate Dr. Paunovic's kindness and patience in addressing our concerns, always going the extra mile to answer our questions. His care has truly exceeded our expectations. It's evident that he not only possesses the necessary professional skills but also a genuine love for animals, which makes a meaningful difference in the care provided.

I am forever grateful for Coquitlam Animal Hospital for all the compassionate, amazing care they are providing for Garfield, our Maine Coone fur baby who came to us as a rescue a year ago from an abusive home. He came to us very overweight and on the cheapest cat food available with lots of signs of trauma. Fast forward a year to the present date, we brought Garfield in because he was vomiting, dehydrated, and panting. Through their experience and ubundant knowledge they were able to determine using blood tests, radiologists, and what was required to pin point the problem was that our precious furbaby was diagnosed with pancreatitis. (Cats can vomit for a wide range of reasons so they were patient and kind in explaining why they needed certain tests to get to the diagnosis with the symptoms that Garfield was going through) He is receiving love from everyone who works there; everybody from the receptionists, to both of the vets, to veterinarian assistants; they are all making sure Garfield is taken care of with lots of pets, love, and outstanding medical care and attention. It's rare to find a place that everyone who works there, shines with great customer service, expertise, and integrity. I would highly recommend this animal hospital to anyone, with confidence in their abilities to do what is best for our precious furbabies (who are definitely part of the family.) My boyfriend and I have no children, so our pets are our babies. I have a passion for rescuing animals and make sure my precious pets are taken care of by fellow animal lovers. This place is full of beautiful fellow animal lovers, we will be lifetime visitors of this place with our future fur babies, such a relief and blessing to find such phenomenal care in our own city, Coquitlam. Thank you for absolutely everything; everyone at Coquitlam animal hospital! You are truly one of a kind and animals and their owners are blessed to have a place to go that is trustworthy, extremely knowledgeable, and empathetic!

I want to thank the amazing team of dedicated and big hearted people that work at this Animal Hospital! Everyone here is so helpful and genuinely care for the well-being of your pet. My family recently welcomed a new puppy to our crazy life. So far its been an amazing journey but as responsible owners we got all our pup her shots, deworming, rabies etc. Our Penny was reaching adult puppyhood and we wanted to get her spayed, as there are enough dogs in the world. They doctors and vet techs here, made extra precautions that Penny was healthy and ready for her big surgery. Blood work was done and we had to wait some extensive time to make sure her liver enzymes were back to normal before another blood test. Fast forward to a few months later Penny has her first heat and we has to wait by doctors orders until that was well out of her system. Its been a rollercoaster of a ride and each tech and both Doctors have been amazing for support. Penny had some minor complications due to her activeness, simple due to her breed and age! Dr.Briggs and Dr.Paunovic were accommodating to any extra treatment to help her recover. If we ever had any questions they were more then willing to answer them. We were never once charge extensively and each time we brought in Penny for a check up during that time it was always very accommodating. Our Penny LOVES coming to this clinic and bounces off the walls with each person working here. We always recommend this Animal Hospital! Thank you for being amazing people!

The doctor was horrible. Didn't even examine my dog physically. Said his blood test were normal but they weren't so I waited longer to see my own vet. Said they'd send my dr his test results but they didn't. Dr had a huge ego ... and there fees are outrageous considering they did nothing. My dog was bleeding from nose and mouth and he never even looked in his mouth or up his nose. Worst experience I've ever had at a vet. And don't say test were normal when it clearly said 2 of them were not. MONEY GRAB

Staff and doctors are so nice. We had an emergency this morning and they immediately helped us, without being a patient or knowing us. They did everything possible to save our pet and unfortunately we had to euthanize him after hours. It was a terrible moment and everyone there was so nice with us, we really appreciated it and in those moments thank you is not enough. We will for sure go back with our pets from now on. Me and my girls wanted to let you know how grateful we are for the kindness received from you and the professional care from dr. Briggs. Thank you

I needed heart worm medication I always give my 2 dogs, was told by staff it would cost me $240.00 for both dogs ... no flea meds either, so just the worm prevention. Told my dog would also need to visit the Vet as well.
I had BOTH dogs there for teeth, over $1000.00 last September, my small dog this year for an infection.... still told I would need to bring in the dog!
Went down the street to Blue Mountain. What a difference! Got the meds, didn’t pay a fortune.
NEVER going back to Coquitlam! Worst Vet experience I have ever had.

Dr. Paunovic has been my Schnauzer's vet for his whole life. Dexter is almost ten years old. He was diagnosed with Gall Bladder issues about 7 years ago, which before and after that diagnosis he was given fantastic care by all staff members. I struggled financially for a a few years and that was taken into consideration by Dr. Paunovic. He believes in other treatments besides prescriptions and my dog is healthy and happy now. We use some herbal supplements and we have had success with Dexter's condition. The Dr. is gentle and kind and I would not hesitate to recommend him. The staff have always been helpful and they all seem to love animals. I now live in a different area than Coquitlam but I still go back for his inoculations etc. I would not hesitate to recommend Coquitlam Animal Hospital.

They called me the day before my cats appointment as a reminder, and provide extra information about the procedure.
The assistant called me a few times throughout the day to provide updates, and let me know how my kitty was doing.
When I went to pick my little guy up the nurse explained all about the medications and teeth cleaning techniques. It was clear and helpful.

I would highly recommend this animal hospital to anyone, with confidence in their abilities to do what is best for our precious furbabies (who are definitely part of the family.) My boyfriend and I have no children, so our pets are our babies. I have a passion for rescuing animals and make sure my precious pets are taken care of by fellow animal lovers. This place is full of beautiful fellow animal lovers, we will be lifetime visitors of this place with our future fur babies, such a relief and blessing to find such phenomenal care in our own city, Coquitlam. Thank you for absolutely everything; everyone at Coquitlam animal hospital! You are truly one of a kind and animals and their owners are blessed to have a place to go that is trustworthy, extremely knowledgeable, and empathetic!

I want to thank the amazing team of dedicated and big hearted people that work at this Animal Hospital! Everyone here is so helpful and genuinely care for the well-being of your pet. My family recently welcomed a new puppy to our crazy life. So far its been an amazing journey but as responsible owners we got all our pup her shots, deworming, rabies etc. Our Penny was reaching adult puppyhood and we wanted to get her spayed, as there are enough dogs in the world. They doctors and vet techs here, made extra precautions that Penny was healthy and ready for her big surgery. Blood work was done and we had to wait some extensive time to make sure her liver enzymes were back to normal before another blood test. Fast forward to a few months later Penny has her first heat and we has to wait by doctors orders until that was well out of her system. Its been a rollercoaster of a ride and each tech and both Doctors have been amazing for support. Penny had some minor complications due to her activeness, simple due to her breed and age! Dr.Briggs and Dr.Paunovic were accommodating to any extra treatment to help her recover. If we ever had any questions they were more then willing to answer them. We were never once charge extensively and each time we brought in Penny for a check up during that time it was always very accommodating. Our Penny LOVES coming to this clinic and bounces off the walls with each person working here. We always recommend this Animal Hospital! Thank you for being amazing people!

This was my first time coming to this clinic, and the staff (particularly Eric) were very patient and calm with my two cats. I really appreciated that Eric took the time to listen to my concerns about my cats' health. I'll definitely be recommending this clinic to other pet owners, and coming back in the future with my own pets!

The doctor was horrible. Didn't even examine my dog physically. Said his blood test were normal but they weren't so I waited longer to see my own vet. Said they'd send my dr his test results but they didn't. Dr had a huge ego ... and there fees are outrageous considering they did nothing. My dog was bleeding from nose and mouth and he never even looked in his mouth or up his nose. Worst experience I've ever had at a vet. And don't say test were normal when it clearly said 2 of them were not. MONEY GRAB

Staff and doctors are so nice. We had an emergency this morning and they immediately helped us, without being a patient or knowing us. They did everything possible to save our pet and unfortunately we had to euthanize him after hours. It was a terrible moment and everyone there was so nice with us, we really appreciated it and in those moments thank you is not enough. We will for sure go back with our pets from now on. Me and my girls wanted to let you know how grateful we are for the kindness received from you and the professional care from dr. Briggs. Thank you

I needed heart worm medication I always give my 2 dogs, was told by staff it would cost me $240.00 for both dogs ... no flea meds either, so just the worm prevention. Told my dog would also need to visit the Vet as well.
I had BOTH dogs there for teeth, over $1000.00 last September, my small dog this year for an infection.... still told I would need to bring in the dog!
Went down the street to Blue Mountain. What a difference! Got the meds, didn’t pay a fortune.
NEVER going back to Coquitlam! Worst Vet experience I have ever had.

We were referred to The Coquitlam Animal Hospital last week. Even though we have just met them, we felt we should let others know how good our experience was. Everyone was extremely helpful and very polite. We felt a genuine heartfelt care towards us and most importantly towards our dog that had severe liver disease. Thank you so much for your kindness.

Dr. Paunovic has been my Schnauzer's vet for his whole life. Dexter is almost ten years old. He was diagnosed with Gall Bladder issues about 7 years ago, which before and after that diagnosis he was given fantastic care by all staff members. I struggled financially for a a few years and that was taken into consideration by Dr. Paunovic. He believes in other treatments besides prescriptions and my dog is healthy and happy now. We use some herbal supplements and we have had success with Dexter's condition. The Dr. is gentle and kind and I would not hesitate to recommend him. The staff have always been helpful and they all seem to love animals. I now live in a different area than Coquitlam but I still go back for his inoculations etc. I would not hesitate to recommend Coquitlam Animal Hospital.

I've gone to Coquitlam Animal Hospital for 20 or so years and i wouldn't take my animals anywhere else. Even though 'wonderful' Dr. Lam is no longer with us, he has been replaced by 'wonderful' Dr. Paunivic, an equally experienced, understanding veterinarian. The staff are caring, attentive and professional and always loving to our "Dave" and he loves going to "visit". Want the best? Coquitlam Animal Hospital are it!

The doctor was very reasonable and fair. I went to him as a second opinion because i felt like I was being ripped off at another clinic with unnecessary tests.I didnt mention to him that it was a second opinion. He only recommended what was needed and gave plenty explaination as to why. Would recommend to friends and family.
Staff is friendly.

We have been bringing our pets to this animal hospital for over 30 yrs (previously named Austin Animal Hospital). The care for our pets is kind patient and compassionate and honest. I never feel that they are pushing medical services that are not necessary. The new extended hours is a huge convenience for us as well.

Took our cat in for some dental work. Everyone I spoke to on the phone or in person was friendly and helpful.
They called me the day before my cats appointment as a reminder, and provide extra information about the procedure.
The assistant called me a few times throughout the day to provide updates, and let me know how my kitty was doing.
When I went to pick my little guy up the nurse explained all about the medications and teeth cleaning techniques. It was clear and helpful.

I can't say enough good stuff about Dr Paunovic and the staff at the Coquitlam Animal Hospital. I have been going there for 4 years and can't imagine going anywhere else. Dr Paunovic is kind, smart, and gentle. He knows how to balance medical intervention against my geriatric cats' comfort, all while keeping my budget in consideration. The staff are knowledgeable and accommodating. Not only are these people amazing pet caregivers, they're fellow pet-nerds and friends.

I was helped by Dr Chan who took care of my black pom for his Bordetella vaccination. The front staff was fairly smooth to take care of papers and payments. They gave a follow up call for good measure. Fees seem reasonable and it's not too far from my place and has parking.

I took my dog into Coquitlam Animal Hospital in order to bring her vaccinations up to date. When I first called to book the appointment, the receptionist (I think Danielle) was extremely friendly, thorough and accommodating while booking the appointment on the phone. I also received a friendly and professional greeting when I brought my dog in on the day of her appointment. The vet, Dr. Nenad Paunovic, took extra care of her with great patience, when she was slightly distressed with the shots. I'm so glad to have found an amazing vet in the area.
Thank you Coquitlam Animal Hospital!

Had to get our dog in to get looked at due to an injury to his ribs, and Coquitlam Animal Hospital were amazing at finding time to look at him - even though they were completely booked for the day, they took him on site so that the vet could assess him between appointments. I am so impressed with the care and attention that these people have for my pet.

Such a friendly and accommodating staff. We just moved to the lower mainland and were in need of a vet for our newly rescued dog. We were so pleased with our visit to the Coquitlam Animal Hospital and would highly recommend it to anyone in need of a good, trustworthy vet. The prices were completely reasonable and the vet was knowledgable and friendly. They were happy to thoroughly explain the diagnosis and treatment plan for our pet and took the time to ensure we understood our dog's condition. Thank you to the wonderful staff for a great experience and easing the difficulty of an unwell pet!

I called a whole bunch of Vets in the area this Saturday am as my cat was very sick and nobody would fit me in. I called Coquitlam Animal hospital and they fit me in right away even though they were booked up. They really care and have been calling me quite a few times this week to check on Lynx. Dr. Paunovic has called me twice himself and explained all of her tests to me and didn't rush me off the phone. Lynx is so mych better now thanks to Dr. Paunovic and the great staff. So happy to find them!

I needed a vet quickly and was turned away by 10 other clinics who said they were either full for appointments today or that their doctors had gone. Dr. Paunovic was off, his reception called him and he came back just to see our little cat. Both he and his team were amazing and our kitty is so much better tonight. The dedication and care is second-to-none.
