Dewdney Animal Hospital

I absolutely love Dr. Crawford! We just finished with the yearly checkup and vaccinations for my cat Aurora who was terrified. This was our first visit to Dewdney Animal Hospital after getting all records transferred over from the old vet and Dr. Crawford made sure to go over everything with us. She advised us of new knowledge, practices, etc. and explained why things have changed. She spent about 30 minutes getting know Aurora and allowing her to become more comfortable in the room before even touching her or starting the exam. Once Aurora was more relaxed she very gently guided her out of the sink and onto the table for a very fast but thorough exam and immunizations. She was very soft spoken, polite, and thorough with everything she did. The prices are a bit more than other clinics, however, I found that the politeness and thoroughness of the service was well worth the price paid. I will definitely be returning to see Dr. Crawford for all appointments in the future. Read Less

A really great experience! Dr.Crawford was so gentle and caring with my dog. My appointment was on time. I went in worried and found out that I had nothing to worry about. I also had his vaccinations updated while I was there. It was really affordable and I felt like we were in good hands with a caring and informative vet. Thank you! Read Less

I took my beloved cat here to be euthanized today (Monday). They were able to book us this appt quickly with the focus on relieving suffering. The Dewdney team were professional and proficient. I felt that we were well cared for. We are not clients here. My own Vet office that I have been going to for over 10 years could not/would not fit us in until Wednesday late afternoon. So I was so grateful that the Dewdney team was able to help us out. Thank you. ❤️ Read Less

I've been going to this clinic since I got my kitty back in 2012. Since then I have brought my boa constrictors, my pupp, my lizards. Dr. Walton is very knowledgeable about reptiles which is great and he is always willing to help us out and educate us every time we visit him. Staff is also very lovely to deal with. And their office cat is a gentle beauty! Read Less

This is the best veterinary clinic in Maple Ridge. Our animals have always been treated with loving care. Our dog had major surgery and was looked after so well. As well, the staff is friendly and professional, always making each visit wonderful. Read Less

Everyone here is wonderful. My little kitty Mordecai was sick for a while, and I couldn't figure out what was up, and the staff tried many tests to diagnose him. Adrian let me know exactly what he found, what was wrong, and how we could help him. We found out what was wrong, and my boy is healthier and happier than ever! The staff are very friendly and work hard :P Mords says thanks <3 Read Less

Dr Adrian Walton is truly the most amazing vet that my husband and I have ever met. He was so caring for our little kitty cat, he truly went above and beyond for us and did everything he could for our kitty cat. He took the time to explain all the issues to us so we could understand the condition our kitty was having. I will never forget everything he did for us. It is so hard to find a vet who truly cares about you and your animals. Highly recommended Adrian to anyone. Thank you adrian! Read Less

With 3 dogs and three horses, I spend a decent amount of time around vets. I am beyond impressed with the staff at Dewdney Animal Hospital and with Dr. Crawford. Our dog Sophie had surgery there on Friday. She is an older, cranky little dog and the staff were so good with her! She ended up having a couple of complications due to her old age and they were so great about seeing her super quickly! We felt really well taken care of, Dr. Crawford was amazing, very caring and really willing to go above and beyond for us. I will, without a doubt, be going to see her with our dogs from now on. Her love for animals, compassion and care made a scary time for us so much easier. The staff here are all great, warm, understanding and very good at what they do. Thanks again!!! Read Less

My cat was taken to Dewdney Animal Hospital when it was hit by a car. I received a call while at work in Vancouver saying that my cat needed to be taken to an emergency hospital but that he was being kept comfortable. The closest emergency hospital was Langley. I was going to have my daughter jump in a cab and take her cat to Langley but I got a call back from the doctor who graciously offered to drive him there herself. I was very grateful. The doctor at Langley told me that it would be over $8,000 for my cat to have the surgery he urgently needed and there were no guarantees that he would have any kind of life let alone make it through the surgery, my best option was to have him put to sleep. I made that stressful decision. I had to pay nearly $400 for this. In the middle of October I received a call from Dewdney animal hospital telling me that I owed nearly $500 for my cat. I had not received an invoice and this was my first phone call. She quoted me an address that the invoice had been sent to which I had not lived at for two years. My veterinary clinic where they originally got my phone number from has updated my file. I gave her my address. She advised that she would send out a new invoice and I said that I would make a payment at the end of October. I never received an invoice. Mid November I received a notice from a collection agency. I still to this day have not received an invoice. I called and asked why they would send to a collection agency. Normally people get first and second notices before this happens, or so I've been told. The first woman said she didn't know she was just a "stupid receptionist" I said you're not stupid! She said I will get someone that knows. Then a woman came on the line and I was told it was send to collections because I didn't come in and make a payment at the end of October. I said I wasn't going to pay for something when I don't even know what it is I'm paying for and that she said she would send an invoice. She said you could have seen the invoice when you came in to make a payment. Perhaps the original conversation she got her wires crossed and thought that since I was going to make a payment she wouldn't have to send me the invoice. She was extremely rude. "I'm not going to argue with you" was all she kept saying, not letting me get a word in edgewise and then hung up on me......I'm sure the doctors there are great but the office practices and the staff are despicable just like any business the front line is who you encounter first and I would NEVER bring my pet there.

Dr. Walton and his staff are wonderful people. I was having the most difficult time finding a vet that would look at my mini pig, but Dr. Walton was extremely open to helping us with his tusks and feet!! I have never had such an amazing experience at a vet clinic. Pigs are extremely sensitive creatures and Dr. Walton had patience and kindness for both my pig and I! Thank you! Highly recommend. It was definitely worth the drive and we will be coming back here next year for his next check upRead Less

Dear staff, Thank you all for taking such great care of and showing such compassion towards Seven. Because of your dedication, I was able to spend one last glorious summer with my best buddy. I am grateful for all that you have done for Seven. Read Less

I can't say enough good things about this place and everyone in it! My dogs are my kids and I have never felt more comfortable with a vet and the entire staff and confident in their work... Everyone is honest (which is number 1 for me) happy, has a sense of humour, and genuinely cares a lot. On top of that, first vet my girl has been to that she hasn't barked at all at the vet.... I was shocked when I had to leave her there and she just left into the back with them without hesitation and didn't look back haha- she trusts everyone and that spoke volumes to me as well.. if she likes you so do I! We've had our fair share of visits there and I always leave knowing my dogs have had the best care. Read Less

We absolutely love the service we get from Dr. Walton, Dr. Crawford, and all of the other vets that we see at Dewdney Animal Hospital. They truly care for the health and well being of all the animals (and owners) that come through the door. The staff (front and back) are so caring and love what they do - it really shows! Keep up the great work guys, we really appreciate it! Read Less

So beyond impressed with this clinic. We have only been here twice but in those times they have shown us that they really care about the animals. Not just their physical health but mental health as well. They welcomed my terrified dog with so much love and gave him as well as myself and children so much reassurance that not every experience has to be as bad as what we had else where. By the end of the appointment my dog refused to leave and I needed help dragging him out of there. Both visits were super informative about everything. Even things we weren't there for but may come up down the road. Dr Walton even offered to let my girls listen to their dogs heart. Even though too shy to this time haven't stopped talking about it. We are a bit of a crazy group with two toddlers and two big dogs and they never once made us feel bad when I needed some help controlling my gang lolRead Less

We are so grateful for the care and attention we always recieve at Dewdney Animsl hospital ! They all make sure you are well informed and educated ! I honestly wouldn't take my animals anywhere else ! All the doctors technicians and staff are so well trained and personable ! Thank you Dewdney Animal hospital you are all so wonderful Read Less

My husband and I could not me happier with the care and service we've received from the staff and vet at Dewdney Animal Hospital. We had a bad experience with our kitten at a different vet, and expressed our concerns to the vet at Dewdney at our first visit. Dr Crawford took our feelings and concerns into consideration, and more importantly she took AMAZING care of our kitty, and even went the extra mile to ensure our girl wasn't scared during her exam. I was so impressed by her and the rest of the staff there, and felt very comfortable with the care our kitten was receiving. Our kitty is a feisty little thing, who will definitely let you know when she's not very happy, but Dr. Crawford and the rest of the staff were always very gentle with her, even when she got a little scared. I recommend this animal hospital to everyone I know now, and will continue to take my pets here. Read Less

My dog was diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure last July 2014.Dr Hunter and staff have been excellent looking after my dog's care and have been very accommodating. Its been well worth it when I see my 130lb dog looking out the living room window for my arrival home from work. Read Less

Finding a vet that is trustworthy, knowledgable and compassionate is the ultimate trifecta. Dr. Walton encompasses all of these things and more. I drive in from downtown Vancouver to bring my pets here and it's worth every minute of the commute. I can't recommend this animal hospital enough. For emergencies or regular check up's, bring your pets here to ensure they're treated properly! Read Less

Dr. Walton and his staff are renown throughout the Metro Vancouver area for their impeccable care for not only client animals but also shelter animals.  His clinic is my back-up clinic when I can't get out to Granville Island and I can't say enough good things about them.  The only thing I can say that's a con about them is that they are not specialists in the pets that I own but (dog and cat) but rather focus more on exotics.

Dr. Walton and his team are well worth the drive from Vancouver to Maple Ridge. Dewdney Animal hospital will not recommend services that are not necessary as many other clinics do to pet owners. Dr Walton is a key part of Without Borders Boxer Rescue, providing medical care to injured boxers that come from California. He is donates his time for the local SPCA. As I was picking up my dog yesterday, I overheard him offer to provide care for come chihahaus that had been removed from a hoarding situation.Dewdney Animal Hospital is amazing thanks to its care and staff!
