We came to Fairfield Animal Hospital because we had an after hours call ( 6:40 pm) at our standard vet and we were told to contact Fairfield for an emergency call. Our experience here was as good as could be, as it turned out our dog had aggressive bone cancer (something our regular vet missed after several visits) that night we had to put our sweet 13 year old dog down, due to a broken leg as a result of said cancer. The care we received here was amazing,it made an incredibly hard thing to do somewhat easier knowing we had gone to a vet that cared about Harley and us. They were thoughtful, kind and compassionate. I would definitely recommend this vet and am considering transferring our cat and new dog’s care to them. Read Less

Fairfield Animal hospital and their staff are truly amazing! Our Little Otis had to be rushed off at 3 am due to a very upset tummy. Laurel was there (chipper as a bird for 3 am, might I add!) with open arms and reassured us that everything was going to be okay. He simply needed some TLC (meds) to get him back to normal and he was in good hands. He spent 2 nights at Fairfield and they updated us every time there was an on hand Vet change over or he had progressed in any way. We even received great photos of him getting some much needed cuddles from Nikki and the other girls which reassured us even more!

Our dog started having seizures last week in the middle of the night and thankfully there was a fantastic and caring Vet able to treat our dog and get us started with what was needed to stabilize him before our regular vet could see him.

Not a great experience
I had to bring my dog in as in the middle of the night he started seizing. While the doctors were excellent at the clinic the front staff could not have cared less about my dog, my situation or me. Fast forward a month and I call to have my dogs records moved to my normal vet. Not only do they say they don't have them, but they suggest that I need to bring my dog in for another physical before I can renew his medications.
Call my vet to let them know this, and after some digging they find the records which Fairfield "lost". It is unfortunate that Fairfield is the only 24/7 emerg. option in Kelowna. Read Less

Terrible policies at this place. I took my cat in because he was not doing so good. Fairfield said he had liver damage and suggested putting him down. We took him home and gave him a few days. He started to get better so we decided not to put him down.
Fast forward about a month later and our cat goes missing. Turns out our neighbor stole him. Her cat and my cat got into a fight and my cats eye gets injured. The Neighbor takes him to Fairfield and declares that we abused him, packed up and moved, and abandoned him. Fairfield takes her word for it and doesn't even attempt to contact us, treats the cat and releases him to us after I found out from the SPCA where he was. The cat had a tattoo with our address and they had him on file from a month ago, but no, no attempt to contact us and they were prepared to release him to the person that stole him. Now today the police show up with the SPCA because we didn't take him to Fairfield for a check up. No phone call or email or anything, just "we call the cops if you don't do business with us". The Police and SPCA apologized for the inconvenience because the cat is clearly in a loving home, but I guess that's not good enough for Fairfield. Yeah, I'll take him elsewhere for a check up thank you.
Update: We showed the blood work to another vet and he said there is no way they should have suggested putting him down. Definitely get a second opinion when it comes down to the animals you love and pray to god that your pet doesn't end up at Fairfield if it gets stolen. This hasn't been a "bad customer experience" for us, it's been a nightmare!
Update: Just to be clear, they did offer the option of expensive treatment for his "Liver Problems" or to put him down if we couldn't afford it. I'm thankful I ignored their advice and my cat is still health, alive, and loved. Read Less

I have been a customer of Fairfield for a number of years. I have two cats and take them there for their check-ups. Both of our cats are on a Veterinary diet meaning I have to go to Fairfield about 3 times a month to pick up food. Most of my running around town is done on my pedal bike as Kelowna is a great City for this. Unfortunately there is nowhere to lock up a bike near this establishment and there are numerous homeless people hanging around the area due to the nearby Bottle Depot. On a few occasions I have mentioned that it would be very nice if they have a bike rack to lock a bike to. There has been no movement in this area even though a bike rack would not take up much space. It is very difficult to drag a bike into a veterinary office and not have it fall over or be disruptive to the other customers. So with some research I found another vet that had a bike rack near their door and will be getting my food from now on from this vet. I will still take my cats to Fairfield for regular vetrinary services, as I think they're great but unfortunately for now I will have to take my $150 a month business elsewhere. Read Less

Definitely get a second opinion when it comes down to the animals you love and pray to god that your pet doesn't end up at Fairfield if it gets stolen. This hasn't been a "bad customer experience" for us, it's been a nightmare!
Update: Just to be clear, they did offer the option of expensive treatment for his "Liver Problems" or to put him down if we couldn't afford it. I'm thankful I ignored their advice and my cat is still health, alive, and loved. Read Less

I have been a customer of Fairfield for a number of years. I have two cats and take them there for their check-ups. Both of our cats are on a Veterinary diet meaning I have to go to Fairfield about 3 times a month to pick up food. Most of my running around town is done on my pedal bike as Kelowna is a great City for this. Unfortunately there is nowhere to lock up a bike near this establishment and there are numerous homeless people hanging around the area due to the nearby Bottle Depot. On a few occasions I have mentioned that it would be very nice if they have a bike rack to lock a bike to. There has been no movement in this area even though a bike rack would not take up much space. It is very difficult to drag a bike into a veterinary office and not have it fall over or be disruptive to the other customers. So with some research I found another vet that had a bike rack near their door and will be getting my food from now on from this vet. I will still take my cats to Fairfield for regular vetrinary services, as I think they're great but unfortunately for now I will have to take my $150 a month business elsewhere. Read Less

I recently visited Fairfield under unfortunate circumstances, my senior cat was having breathing issues. Unfortunately I had to put him down, it was a very hard time- but everyone on the team there was so sensitive & kind. I was deeply moved that they also took the time to send me not only a sympathy card but also a paw print & poem for my cat. I would highly recommend their services. Read Less

Typically, I trust veterinarians about as much as I trust a car mechanic - not very much at all. I've been bringing my cats here for years and have been very happy with the professionalism and level of expertise. They don't strike me as the type who like to run up a bill for anything and everything, which is normally my experience with vets. Read Less

I've brought my dogs here since my 9yo Doberman was 8 weeks old... We have always had the best of care by the doctors, and the office staff are friendly and very accomodating!
