(copy of email sent to the clinic Dec 31, 2020.) At the end of the year I like to give thanks for all my blessings and plan for the upcoming year. You and your boss and everyone who works at the clinic are a great blessing. I cannot imagine a nicer more caring Vet than Dr. Brar, nor a more caring team.
He always acts in the best interest of the client and not out of self interest, avoiding unnecessary or premature tests or treatments. And everything you do seems reasonably priced.
Dr. Brar listens carefully and respectfully, so always reaches a well considered diagnosis. Even when our own theories may be incorrect, they are well considered before being assessed.
His honesty and caring for both owner and patient is shockingly refreshing.
The staff are always so helpful and careful in everything they do. It is a most wonderful clinic, and we are blessed to have you in our lives, even if we wish the need was not so frequent with Lulu.
Nicole and Lulu and I wish you all the best in 2021 and thank you for all you have done.

This is by far the very best veterinarian we have ever had in 40 years of being dog owners. I like that Dr Brar has his own OR, so we know exactly who is looking after our dogs, and that they are not in a high stress environment with lots of other patients. Excellent alternative therapies, such as acupuncture, which have proved to be great alternatives to surgery. Can’t say enough good things about this practice!

We are so grateful for Dr. Brar's excellent care for our pets! We lost our beautiful Sheltie, Lola, recently and Dr. Brar couldn't have been more compassionate and caring. He went above and beyond in helping us. Now we have our new wee 'Coco', a Shih Tzu puppy, so we'll look forward to having him as our Vet for her, as well as for our Himalayan cat, Chantilly.

So our daughter had just rescued two rats from being euthanized. She noticed that both were sneezing quite a bit. One of the rats is blind as well. About 2 years ago she brought her 2 other rats to see this Vet as they both had tumours. We were with our daughter at the time, so maybe that changed his demeanour but he was pleasant, informed her one had a benign tumour and one malignant. We paid somewhere between $60 for that visit. Back to this visit where our daughter was... alone. The vet entered the room, did not say hello or any introduction. He bluntly asked why she was there, she started to explain and he cut her off. He left the room, didn’t say why and came back with the receptionist to help hold the rat. He listened to their lungs, looked at their teeth put them back. Went to his computer and was looking up rat info. Told my daughter it might be this... something my daughter had already looked up online herself and left the room. She waited and waited, thinking he might come back, like last time... he did not. She stuck her head out the door and asked are we done? He said yes, she went upfront and the receptionist was trying to figure out the cost. She just handed her the debit machine the cost was $168!! For 7 mins, that $1400 an hr!!! Disgusting!! I truly believe he took advantage of the fact that she was young and by herself. All in all her experience was awful. The front end staff was not friendly at all, only one of the girls was pleasant to my daughter. The main receptionist was miserable. We will never go back there or recommend them to anyone. See More

I have been to this vet before a few years back with two rats that had benign tumours on their sides. My visit was quick and costed around $80 for both of them. I have just recently adopted two 1 year old rats that were showing signs of a respiratory infection. I decided to go back to lifeline animal clinic to get them check out.

I wasn’t sure if our appointment was done or if he was coming back. I was in there for 5 minuets and was charged $170. This is an awful vet, they do not care about their clients and are only interested in money. I was shocked that I had to pay such a steep fee for 5 minutes of his time when I payed $80 last time. I do not recommend them and honestly if I could give negative stars I would. See More

Dr Brar is a very knowledgeable and caring vet. He has been caring for my two cats for five years now and I trust his judgement. My senior cat developed kidney disease and I'm confident that Dr Brar's understanding of the disease and quick acting saved her life. The clinic itself is basic but clean, the vet assistant is gentle & kind and the front staff are very nice. Highly Recommended.

I'd absolutely take my cat or dog, good vet with a good heart! But I'd never take another rat to him, unless he personally wrote & assured me he learned from my StevieJoe's death after a neuter in Oct'06, and my Alfred's 2 mo's of suffering after his Dec '06 neuter. Not every great cat & dog vet is rat-capable without experience, Be aware of that when you have exotics! When I picked Alfred up he assured me he'd done a different procedure on him than he did on StevieJoe (wh...o died), but Alfred suffered multiple issues after and didn't eat solid food for 2 months. Dr. Brar was very giving & caring thru Alfred's after-neuter issues, but he shouldn't have done either procedure at that time as he obviously was uncertain how best to do it (by his own admission). I expect (hope) he's learned from my boys. It's been 11 yrs, I still ache over Alfred's suffering, but moreso StevieJoe's death, he went into spasms minutes after I got him home, then died.. I JUST wish Dr Brar had told me what he learned from the necropsy (if he did it) when I took StevieJoe's body back to him, he said he found nothing, He & I know that's not true, StevieJoe bled to death internally, but he denied me that closure. We all make mistakes and we learn from them, any honest mistake can be forgiven, unless you have someone else carry it for 11 yrs when it was your onus. An excellent vet. An A-1 human being. He's the only one who knows what I say is true, but that's all that matters to me. That I speak for my StevieJoe, and Dr Brar knows why.We all just Need answers to move on sometimes. See More

We've been going to Lifeline and seeing Dr Brar for over 10 years. He has always been extremely compassionate and amazingly knowledgeable. The blend of Eastern & Western medicine has been so successful with both of our dogs who have hip/knee issues. You can take your fur kids to this clinic and know that they will be well taken care of and unnecessary treatments or tests will not be recommended!

I recently had to have my dogs hind leg amputated. Not a surgery done at this clinic but Dr Brar was amazing. We were quoted between $3000-$5000 just for the surgery in Victoria. Dr Brar was able to find us a clinic who he trusted with its knowledge and experience with this kind of surgery at considerable less cost. Yes it required a bit of travel but total cost of surgery including X-rays and medicines $2300. I appreciate him taking the time to do this for us as it was only days before Christmas when money is already being stretched. I 100% trust Dr Brar

Dr. Brar is a vet whom I trust to offer only what my pet needs. In my 8 years of experience bringing him my 2 cats and 2 dogs for everything from broken paws to feline infections, there has never been any of the b.s. I experienced previously with other vets in town (Fort Street, Keating Cross and the Old Island Highway).
There's no fancy talk, no fancy office, and no fancy wool pulled over my eyes. He does not leverage extra dollars out by playing on the vulnerability of heightened emotions that often come with concern over an animals' well-being.
In my opinion, he offers the very best care for my animal friends I could find.

Knowledgable staff, not complaints with how they treat their animals and the Vet seems to know his stuff no problem. But a few of the staff have personalities that I find a bit stand offish, including the Vet, he's a nice guy but he's in and out and doesn't explain that much. I've tried to get them to explain to me multiple times how many shots my kittens need or how many they have had and what not. No matter how many times I ask I keep getting confused and they run in circles and don't fully answer me. I know it's not their intent to be confusing but it's frustrating. The first time I took my kittens in I tried to get the Vet to explain how many shots and the prices and what they needed I I kind of got brushed off as he gave my kittens their shots without fully explaining what the shots were. NOT OK. I understand it is a busy clinic but everytime I call them they are putting me on hold 3 or more times. It's not completely their fault as people in the clinic should honestly be letting them finish on the phone first but its very annoying. Hold once is fine until you are done with customers but when you pick the phone back up please focus on me. I find this odd as every time I've been in there has inly been 1 other customer in the waiting room every time. They gave me photocopies of their records which I cannot understand very well at all. I have two kittens, same age and siblings, and one record is missing a bunch of stuff but because they come during the same appointment they only filled out one completely, which I find sad as I like having proper records at home. I probably will be moving Vets after my kittens are done all their 1st year shots and boosters. In summary there's nothing wrong with their knowledge or treatment of the animals, but I'd like to be somewhere that is also focused on the pet's owner understanding what's going on.

I'd absolutely take my cat or dog, good vet with a good heart! But I'd never take another rat to him, unless he personally wrote & assured me he learned from my StevieJoe's death after a neuter in Oct'06, and my Alfred's 2 mo's of suffering after his Dec '06 neuter. Not every great cat & dog vet is rat-capable without experience, Be aware of that when you have exotics! When I picked Alfred up he assured me he'd done a different procedure on him than he did on StevieJoe (wh...o died), but Alfred suffered multiple issues after and didn't eat solid food for 2 months. Dr. Brar was very giving & caring thru Alfred's after-neuter issues, but he shouldn't have done either procedure at that time as he obviously was uncertain how best to do it (by his own admission). I expect (hope) he's learned from my boys. It's been 11 yrs, I still ache over Alfred's suffering, but moreso StevieJoe's death, he went into spasms minutes after I got him home, then died.. I JUST wish Dr Brar had told me what he learned from the necropsy (if he did it) when I took StevieJoe's body back to him, he said he found nothing, He & I know that's not true, StevieJoe bled to death internally, but he denied me that closure. We all make mistakes and we learn from them, any honest mistake can be forgiven, unless you have someone else carry it for 11 yrs when it was your onus. An excellent vet. An A-1 human being. He's the only one who knows what I say is true, but that's all that matters to me. That I speak for my StevieJoe, and Dr Brar knows why.We all just Need answers to move on sometimes. See More

We've been going to Lifeline and seeing Dr Brar for over 10 years. He has always been extremely compassionate and amazingly knowledgeable. The blend of Eastern & Western medicine has been so successful with both of our dogs who have hip/knee issues. You can take your fur kids to this clinic and know that they will be well taken care of and unnecessary treatments or tests will not be recommended!

Kam Brar (Veterinarian) is rude, non-communicative, does not look at you when he does say something. He gives hurried cursory examinations and does not listen to you when you state your concern for your animal family member (pet). I would not give even a one star rating but you have to to post

Weird vibes from Brar,really slow and the establishment isn't clean. It's the same price as a clean / good vibes place so won't be going back.

Dr. Brar is awesome! Friendly, very knowledgeable, and takes the time to listen. The front desk staff are also great, and the follow-up phone calls are nice too.

I recently had to have my dogs hind leg amputated. Not a surgery done at this clinic but Dr Brar was amazing. We were quoted between $3000-$5000 just for the surgery in Victoria. Dr Brar was able to find us a clinic who he trusted with its knowledge and experience with this kind of surgery at considerable less cost. Yes it required a bit of travel but total cost of surgery including X-rays and medicines $2300. I appreciate him taking the time to do this for us as it was only days before Christmas when money is already being stretched. I 100% trust Dr Brar

Dr. Brar is a vet whom I trust to offer only what my pet needs. In my 8 years of experience bringing him my 2 cats and 2 dogs for everything from broken paws to feline infections, there has never been any of the b.s. I experienced previously with other vets in town (Fort Street, Keating Cross and the Old Island Highway).
There's no fancy talk, no fancy office, and no fancy wool pulled over my eyes. He does not leverage extra dollars out by playing on the vulnerability of heightened emotions that often come with concern over an animals' well-being.
In my opinion, he offers the very best care for my animal friends I could find.

Knowledgable staff, not complaints with how they treat their animals and the Vet seems to know his stuff no problem. But a few of the staff have personalities that I find a bit stand offish, including the Vet, he's a nice guy but he's in and out and doesn't explain that much. I've tried to get them to explain to me multiple times how many shots my kittens need or how many they have had and what not. No matter how many times I ask I keep getting confused and they run in circles and don't fully answer me. I know it's not their intent to be confusing but it's frustrating. The first time I took my kittens in I tried to get the Vet to explain how many shots and the prices and what they needed I I kind of got brushed off as he gave my kittens their shots without fully explaining what the shots were. NOT OK. I understand it is a busy clinic but everytime I call them they are putting me on hold 3 or more times. It's not completely their fault as people in the clinic should honestly be letting them finish on the phone first but its very annoying. Hold once is fine until you are done with customers but when you pick the phone back up please focus on me. I find this odd as every time I've been in there has inly been 1 other customer in the waiting room every time. They gave me photocopies of their records which I cannot understand very well at all. I have two kittens, same age and siblings, and one record is missing a bunch of stuff but because they come during the same appointment they only filled out one completely, which I find sad as I like having proper records at home. I probably will be moving Vets after my kittens are done all their 1st year shots and boosters. In summary there's nothing wrong with their knowledge or treatment of the animals, but I'd like to be somewhere that is also focused on the pet's owner understanding what's going on.
