I have been taking my 2 dogs to North Shore Veterinary Clinic for about 2 years. I have a 3-year-old lab/pit cross and a 4 lb. Yorkie. We have seen 2 of the vets. Both were wonderful, caring, competent and gentle. The vet techs and office staff are warm, welcoming and helpful.I've noted a couple of reviews complaining about this clinic's pricing but they are more reasonable than my previous vet. One of my dogs requires a prescription diet. Her food costs 25% less at North Shore than it did at my previous veterinary clinic.I trust these folks. They listen carefully to my concerns, they respect the knowledge I have and take what I say seriously. I highly recommend North Shore Veterinary Clinic.

I come to this clinic to buy cat food - the staff are all pleasant, and having been a pet owner for 40 years I'd like to say something. A few of the reviews here are clearly laughable. This isthe problem with social media - anybody can say anythingand so many people are just hanging on to every word as if it were gold.#1 - someone 'in law for many years' who had any legal credentials is unlikely to say 'I'd sue their sorry asses".Instead you come across as an ignorant person, and likely to not approach an emotional situation with common sense.#2 - to the reviewer who called the vet tech a 'nurse' who had to give a pill to her recalcitrant Yorkshire: A lot of dogsdon't like pills. How else would you like your Yorkshire terrierto have the pill? Come on! Vet techs go into their field because they love animals - that's why they choose it as aprofession. And it is a profession - serving the animals isfar easier than serving owners who expect the impossible to happen. Your hesitant Yorkie is not about to have its neckbroken - you only appear hysterical when you post commentslike that. Vets aren't perfect, and being a dog (and cat) lover, I see nothing wrong with prying a dog's mouth open to give it a pill. The dog forgets it in 1 minute, and the most important thing, the medication is allowed to exert it's therapeutic affects. It's better than letting the dog suffer and bemoan how cruel life is. I think you need to get a reality check.

Please do not go here. It must be more about the welfare of the animal than the money generated. A wonderful website that was very helpful to me was 2nd Chance by Ron Hines. If you are a pet owner, put that on your desktop. You will use it many times I promise. Without this website I probably would have agreed to 3 different tests, 3 different drugs, x-ray, ultrasound and a 3 night hospital stay. Two tests had been completed by the time I deciphered the geriatric panel using the 2nd chance website. When I spoke to the vet and said that my dog had stage 2 kidney failure she corrected me and said actually stage 4. My wonderful dog died in less than a week so I question the motivation of doing all the tests as she already knew he was terminal. Sadly the veterinary profession has a poor reputation but there are very caring ones out there. Please do your research. I feel that I let my beautiful dog down by not doing mine.

My dog is fearful and aggressive with strangers but the team here was very accommodating and gave me options to help lower my pups stress levels prior to having an exam and vaccination done. I really appreciated their patience!For an exam and a rabies vaccine it came to $90. Definitely on the steep side as I think this is $10-$30 more than some other clinics but if they're willing to spend 30 min with him to wait for him to calm down then I guess it's money spent for less stress and headache for me!

A friend of mine highly recommended this clinic and it worked for him because he has pet insurance. Unfortunately I wasn't impressed with the recommended amount of additional tests for my dog. After the initial blood test, the clinic recommended a follow-up test a week later. They were willing to give me a discount but I didn't proceed. My impression is they care about the pets but they care more about the $$$. After all it is a business but it has to be affordable for regular non insured people. I give them an average review because of this. We had our vet previously in Kamloops. Not only did they care tremendously about your pet, they were never out to gouge customers, took extra time and never overbilled you.

Fantastic clinic, wonderful staff.
I can always rely on the veterinarians here for good honest advice.
All I can say to other pet owners is invest in good pet insurance that offers Preventative or Wellness based coverage that will help cover the costs for diagnostics IE imaging, blood work, urine analysis, stool examination; vaccinations, and dental. The cost is comparable to our health insurance, but it's good coverage.
North Shore Veterinary Clinic does not do direct billing; however, they usually have the insurance forms printed out and will fax the claim/receipt for you. It is an absolutely wonderful clinic. :)

They are very accommodating and took my kitty in to be checked out on a moments notice, in between their appointments. Because they didn't have an appointment available. It was clear to me that they put the needs of our furry friends above the convenience of their work day.
They have all been very caring in my experience so far. Based on my experience of 3 other vets on the North Shore, I wouldn't trust my girls with anyone else now.
I also appreciate that they don't shame you when you simply want to be clear on what the expense will be, as other vets have done on the North Shore. Of course my animals come first AND I want to know what I'll be looking at.
Also and this is big: they are partnered with VOKRA (Vancouver Orphan Kitten Rescue Association) and I believe subsidize the costs of shots, spaying/neutering etc. Respect!

I took my sick yorkie yesterday to treat her eye infection. The veterinarian doctor checked my dog for about 10 min. Rarely mentioning about the eye infection, this person started to elaborate about dangers of fleas, and sold a pill for $50 per pc which has nothing to do with my visit or my dog. She called this heavyweight champ. nurse to feed my dog a worm killer pill. This nurse started to wrestle with my listless 3kg. Yorkie to push the pill into my dog's mouth, holding her neck to the point of breaking it. After failing opening my dog's mouth, she asked " Do you mind If I take this dog to another room?"

Took all 3 of our dogs to be seen here. They were very accommodating in spreading out the appts (2 at same time & the 3 half an hour later). We had the same vet, Dr Sang, she was very good with all 3 of our bully breeds (an American Staffordshire Terrier, an American Bully & an American Pitbull Terrier). Before their exam she asked if there were any concerns. She addressed my concerns during her assessment & suggested options. Billing was very straight forward, only what I asked for was on the bill & it was all labelled correspondingly. Fees were the same for all 3 dogs. Only difference was on the medication charge for the dewormer as one received a diffident dosage & her meds weren't as much as the other 2. The front desk staff was helpful in weighing & providing the medication clearly marked as to not mix them up between the 3 dogs.

They aren't upfront with extra charges. Each visit for both of my dogs ends with different charges for the same operations each time. Their consultation charge is bogus. 75$ to stick a thermometer up the dogs butt. Awesome thanx for asking if I even wanted it. They just charge first and don't regard the owners wishes whatsoever. DONT GIVE THEM YOUR BUSINESS. They are crooks.

I'm so thankful that I did my research prior to taking my 8 year old pup to the clinic. I wanted to ensure I found a place with top notch DR's and excellent staff! This Vet clinic definitely exceeds all the core values for providing superior service. The professionalism starts at the from counter when your greeted by the administrative staff. They have properly educated vet techs and vet assistants which is extremely important! There are no corners cut here which is extremely important to me.

Finally after thousands and thousands of dollars spent ELSEWHERE, I have a diagnosis and now we can work towards recovery.

Terri Clemett has been the vet for my family for, I'd venture to say, almost 25 years. She is in this business for all of the right reasons. She provides compassionate, knowledgable care, and I trust her implicitly with the care of our four legged family members. Her love for her work, and the animals she treats is evident- and the absolutely wonderful support staff she hires are lovely and helpful, a real pleasure to deal with. I couldn't trust my pet to anyone I felt was more capable, and caring.

What kind of place charges a $75 consultation fee when I only came in for a $10 booster shot? They gave me NO heads up on how much the consultation fee was or even that there was one. And what is the consultation fee even for? All she did was weigh my cat and that was it. The whole process took only 5 minutes. I was completely shocked when I got to the front desk. I am a teenager, I don't make much money. I feel completely robbed. My other vet that I usually go to doesn't charge a consultation fee and they are a great vet. I just feel cheated and robbed. I will never be back to this place and I suggest shopping around for vets before going here because this is the most overpriced vet around.

I normally don't write too many reviews, but after having consistently good service, I have to! Both my own (2 year old corgi) and my parent's dog (13 year old lab x) go to this vet and we have had great experiences. All of the staff are friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Their prices are fair and their exams are thorough which I don't find at too many other vets. On each side of the reception desk there are waiting areas-- one for cats and one for dogs. There isn't a long wait to see the vet with an appointment which I really appreciate. A combination of great staff that provide excellent care and a comfortable experience for me (comfy waiting area where you don't have to worry about your dog scaring cats in carriers) makes going to the vet much easier :)

When I spoke to the vet and said that my dog had stage 2 kidney failure she corrected me and said actually stage 4. My wonderful dog died in less than a week so I question the motivation of doing all the tests as she already knew he was terminal. Sadly the veterinary profession has a poor reputation but there are very caring ones out there. Please do your research. I feel that I let my beautiful dog down by not doing mine.

My dog is fearful and aggressive with strangers but the team here was very accommodating and gave me options to help lower my pups stress levels prior to having an exam and vaccination done. I really appreciated their patience!For an exam and a rabies vaccine it came to $90. Definitely on the steep side as I think this is $10-$30 more than some other clinics but if they're willing to spend 30 min with him to wait for him to calm down then I guess it's money spent for less stress and headache for me!

A friend of mine highly recommended this clinic and it worked for him because he has pet insurance. Unfortunately I wasn't impressed with the recommended amount of additional tests for my dog. After the initial blood test, the clinic recommended a follow-up test a week later. They were willing to give me a discount but I didn't proceed. My impression is they care about the pets but they care more about the $$$. After all it is a business but it has to be affordable for regular non insured people. I give them an average review because of this. We had our vet previously in Kamloops. Not only did they care tremendously about your pet, they were never out to gouge customers, took extra time and never overbilled you.

Fantastic clinic, wonderful staff.
I can always rely on the veterinarians here for good honest advice.
All I can say to other pet owners is invest in good pet insurance that offers Preventative or Wellness based coverage that will help cover the costs for diagnostics IE imaging, blood work, urine analysis, stool examination; vaccinations, and dental. The cost is comparable to our health insurance, but it's good coverage.
North Shore Veterinary Clinic does not do direct billing; however, they usually have the insurance forms printed out and will fax the claim/receipt for you. It is an absolutely wonderful clinic. :)

They are very accommodating and took my kitty in to be checked out on a moments notice, in between their appointments. Because they didn't have an appointment available. It was clear to me that they put the needs of our furry friends above the convenience of their work day.
They have all been very caring in my experience so far. Based on my experience of 3 other vets on the North Shore, I wouldn't trust my girls with anyone else now.
I also appreciate that they don't shame you when you simply want to be clear on what the expense will be, as other vets have done on the North Shore. Of course my animals come first AND I want to know what I'll be looking at.
Also and this is big: they are partnered with VOKRA (Vancouver Orphan Kitten Rescue Association) and I believe subsidize the costs of shots, spaying/neutering etc. Respect!

I took my sick yorkie yesterday to treat her eye infection. The veterinarian doctor checked my dog for about 10 min. Rarely mentioning about the eye infection, this person started to elaborate about dangers of fleas, and sold a pill for $50 per pc which has nothing to do with my visit or my dog. She called this heavyweight champ. nurse to feed my dog a worm killer pill. This nurse started to wrestle with my listless 3kg. Yorkie to push the pill into my dog's mouth, holding her neck to the point of breaking it. After failing opening my dog's mouth, she asked " Do you mind If I take this dog to another room?"

Took all 3 of our dogs to be seen here. They were very accommodating in spreading out the appts (2 at same time & the 3 half an hour later). We had the same vet, Dr Sang, she was very good with all 3 of our bully breeds (an American Staffordshire Terrier, an American Bully & an American Pitbull Terrier). Before their exam she asked if there were any concerns. She addressed my concerns during her assessment & suggested options. Billing was very straight forward, only what I asked for was on the bill & it was all labelled correspondingly. Fees were the same for all 3 dogs. Only difference was on the medication charge for the dewormer as one received a diffident dosage & her meds weren't as much as the other 2. The front desk staff was helpful in weighing & providing the medication clearly marked as to not mix them up between the 3 dogs.

They aren't upfront with extra charges. Each visit for both of my dogs ends with different charges for the same operations each time. Their consultation charge is bogus. 75$ to stick a thermometer up the dogs butt. Awesome thanx for asking if I even wanted it. They just charge first and don't regard the owners wishes whatsoever. DONT GIVE THEM YOUR BUSINESS. They are crooks.

Terri Clemett has been the vet for my family for, I'd venture to say, almost 25 years. She is in this business for all of the right reasons. She provides compassionate, knowledgable care, and I trust her implicitly with the care of our four legged family members. Her love for her work, and the animals she treats is evident- and the absolutely wonderful support staff she hires are lovely and helpful, a real pleasure to deal with. I couldn't trust my pet to anyone I felt was more capable, and caring.

Just a question Yelp. Why are current good reviews not posted or remain posted, while you leave older negative reviews up? There have been more good reviews than bad ones, but for some reason you continue to only post the bad reviews. Something doesn't seem on the up and up. Shame on you Yelp, thought you were a legit site until experiencing this. Clean your act up.Husband of the ownerJohn

What kind of place charges a $75 consultation fee when I only came in for a $10 booster shot? They gave me NO heads up on how much the consultation fee was or even that there was one. And what is the consultation fee even for? All she did was weigh my cat and that was it. The whole process took only 5 minutes. I was completely shocked when I got to the front desk. I am a teenager, I don't make much money. I feel completely robbed. My other vet that I usually go to doesn't charge a consultation fee and they are a great vet. I just feel cheated and robbed. I will never be back to this place and I suggest shopping around for vets before going here because this is the most overpriced vet around.

I normally don't write too many reviews, but after having consistently good service, I have to! Both my own (2 year old corgi) and my parent's dog (13 year old lab x) go to this vet and we have had great experiences. All of the staff are friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Their prices are fair and their exams are thorough which I don't find at too many other vets. On each side of the reception desk there are waiting areas-- one for cats and one for dogs. There isn't a long wait to see the vet with an appointment which I really appreciate. A combination of great staff that provide excellent care and a comfortable experience for me (comfy waiting area where you don't have to worry about your dog scaring cats in carriers) makes going to the vet much easier :)
