Friendly compassionate staff
We have only had positive experiences at Fairview Animal Hospital. Each staff member is kind and caring. Our dog has been seen by two of the Vets there and we were impressed with the time they spent answering our questions. They truly care about the animals they see. We appreciate their follow up calls if our dog has had to go to an emergency clinic, for medication reminders or to follow up after our dog has been in to see them about a specific issue. A trusted animal hospital.
Really friendly, clean and professional throughout the visit. The veterinarian was very clear when he communicated with us and gave a fair and thorough breakdown of the costs for a minor operation on my Guinea pig. My animal was taken very good care of. Overall I would definitely recommend this place to bring your pet to.
The staff are absolutely incredible. Everyone seems to love their job and always give top notch treatment to my pets. I wouldn't take my pets anywhere but here. Thanks for everything you do!
They are amazing with my fur babies ❤
Amazing service!!! It was 9 pm when we called, they were closed, we drove from mission and he met us there to help our dog at 10 pm!!!! He was kind and courteous!!!! Thank you so much for helping our Jasper girl!!!!
Excellent vets and staff!!
Another great appointment with Dr. V. He cares so much about our family and our dog. Couldn't be more happy with this Veterinarian!
Great service, very friendly.
Unprofessional and unethical...!!! Website not even working
Very friendly staff.
Very kind, caring and gentle with my pet. He was extremely comfortable and at ease, which is not the norm for him. Thank you for your excellent care.
Thank you for helping me fix my goats with antiseptic. You're a very kind man!
This was my cat's first time at the vet since I got him and it was amazing. The staff is EXTREMELY friendly and professional, and the space is clean and organized. When I arrived for my appointment time, they were ready for me and I got to head straight to the examination room with my cat. Dr Ramey tested my cat for a few things she thought may be related to his symptoms and we ended up with an explanation. She got him set up with proper medication and he already seems to be feeling better after only a couple of days. They were very gentle with him and even helped me out with shaving his fur mats. I will never go anywhere else. It was suuch a positive experience all around. Thank you Dr Ramey & the Fairview Animal Hospital Team :)
We have had our dogs wonderfully looked after for various injuries, problems, and a surgery and they have always gone far above and beyond with their care, attention, and helpfulness. Their work and facility is fantastic and they are very accommodating and reliable. Even one of our sick goats was diagnosed and treated here when we were in a tough situation. We're grateful for our amazing relationship with Fairview Animal Hospital and Dr Varinder. With all the pets and animals we have, we'll be making regular visits!
Great staff. Understanding and patient when my cat was super upset with them/me.
Friendly staff
A difficult cat!!! But they certainly did what had to be done and they did it with compassion and care.
The team at Fairview have been so kind every time we have come for a visit. My dog has diabetes and sometimes needs a quick check to make sure his sugars are in line. They squeeze him in if I call and need him looked at. They also worked with me on his food to help control the diabetes.
The best vet I ever brought my pet to. Brought my pet guinea pig here as they had a good reputation for exotic pets. They lived up to their reputation. The doctor was very knowledgeable and explained our options very clearly.
Excellent service all around.
Very satisfied with services. No clinics were open on Friday night, but I called and the Dr. came in to help my Beagle Noah who was howling in pain. Dr. Varinder cared for Noah overnight and made an action plan to take care of his painful tooth right away. Surgery went well & all my questions were answered. Very reasonable pricing. No gauging for emergency services. Thank you Dr. Varinder
We love the whole team at Fairview Animal Hospital. We always feel listened to, our dogs enjoy going there and we respect our vet , Dr. Suzette Dibblee, implicitly. Best vet in town!
I was very impressed with how caring all the staff was, from the receptionists, to the assistants, to the doctor. Everyone was dedicated to providing the best care possible for my cat.
Me and my pet family have taken many pets here over the years and always had a very positive experience. I took my cat Matilda here recently to have her nails trimmed and they did a great job and helped my furry baby feel calm the whole time. Great vets.
Very clean, staff are polite and clear.
Thanks for helping with our hourse and goat!
Fairview Animal Hospital is one that I will continue to recommend to any in the area; the friendly, knowledgeable staff make for an amazing experience for both owner and pet alike. On-top of having some of the fairest and cheapest prices around, they treat their clientele like family; always ensuring your pet receives the treatment it needs all the while trying to find suitable plans that you're able to afford. The hospital building itself is very clean and well maintained ???? staff are always there to greet you and ensure you're looked after
I have nothing but wonderful thoughts and a grateful heart for all the fine People at Fairview Animal Hospital.We are generational family-having lived and in this neighbourhood for so very long.Within the last 25 years alone.the staff at Fairview Animal Hospital have taken wonderful care of our beloved critters.That list includes --Sara Wee-Wox- MollyK--Tasha-Nugs Canute and just recently--Meara. At this time Nugs and Meara are the only ones still with us.The staff has made a huge contribution to the fact that Nugs still is with us.She is 9.5 years old and many people never would have given her those extra 9 years.The Drs were and still are amazingly wonderful. Nugs is the Golden and Meara is the little white kitten. Special Thank You to Drs Dibblee and Harris ,both of whom have been there always for Nugs,Canute and yes Meara also.Final word goes to Nugs --she insists that these wonderful Ladies and the Staff at Fiarview Animal Hospital- receive their Official Golden Woof of Approval
Very very very happy. Very professional, knowledgeable and caring of hamsters. Thank you Fairview Animal Hospital :)
Pricey
I take my cats here and the staff is very knowledgable and absolutely wonderful. Convenient location and open a little later then most clinics I looked at which was super helpful.
Dr. Harris took care of my Golden Retriever from his first vet appointment until his last. She was with us the entire time (11 years), making sure he got the best possible care. I trust her advice over everyone else's. She has become a family friend and is truly a wonderful person who loves animals big and small. When my partner and I got our new rescue dog, a Rat Terrier, there was no question who her vet was going to be! Fairview Animal Hospital has also taken care of my family's cat for 11 years and counting. Couldn't be happier going here and won't be taking my pets anywhere else.
The staff here are absolutely wonderful at taking care of our menagerie of eight kitties! They care about our stress-aggressive cat as much as our easy-to-treat ones. They’ve helped us with basic checkups, vaccinations, a scratched cornea in our peke-faced kitty and chronic non-flea itching for another kitty. I can’t recommend them highly enough! They make taking cats to the vet a pleasant experience.
So far so good. Friendly staff..
I had to take my Bernese MD to a vet on a Sunday. My own vet was not open, and Fairview got us in, asap, without charging an emergency visit fee. Both Dr. D, and the girl who works with him, were SO amazing with my family and our dog. They went WAY over and above the call of duty, and didn't charge us near what they had a right to do. They loved on my girl as if she were their own, and even bathed her before returning her to me. I could tell that my dog so well cared for! This vet clinic is one to remember for sure. Thank you Dr. Dabir, and staff! Brylie sends big paw hugs and me too. <3
we took our dog to get spayed, it turned out to be the most devastating decision we've made. we were quoted a certain price for the procedure and when we arrived to pick her up it was the classic bait and switch,, he attempted to charge us double of the initial quote, i wish this was the worst part of my story. later that evening (after picking her up) she began bleeding profusely from her incision. we rushed her back to fairview animal hospital where he informed us she was bleeding internally and that he couldn't operate alone so he called in a second vet from the aldergrove area. a day later we were able to pick her up , when we arrived we were told she was weak from surgery , which is why she was struggling to use her back end,. when we got her home we realized that she wasnt struggling to get around in fact it appeared she wasnt able to use her hind end AT ALL, we took her back to faiview the next day to inquire about her hind, we were told this was normal for this size of dog after an operation. not convinced of this at all we took her to aldergrove animal hospital where it was confirmed he had paralyzed our dog!!!! aldergrove animal hospital also requested our records and when we were furnished a copy of them we realized that he completely lied on them. even so much as to say when we left from our final visit the dog was in good/fair condition!!!!! this man is dangerous and if you love your pets like we do TAKE THEM ELSEWHERE our dog will never walk again thanks to FAIRVIEW ANIMAL HOSPITAL our lives changed forever because of his negligence we've contacted the college of veterinarians and hopefully we can stop him before he cripples or even kills another families beloved pet * the back end weakness (you mean paralysis) is not part of the spay surgery....... and * and there are always complications in surgery.... which one is it bud? did the it have nothing to do with the spay or was it a complication? the sad thing about all the lies you tell people about your negligence is that your lies are actually being twisted up so much they are now contradicting themselves, the silver lining to this post is, every pet related business i have told my story too about you, has already heard bad things.... in a small town like this, if you don't start taking responsibility for your negligent actions that cause others harm you wont be long for this town, i am not done telling my story about you
Had our first visit with our pup and couldn’t be happier!
I've always had good interactions with the staff here and have brought my animals here for over 20 years.
I've always had good interactions with the staff here and have brought my animals here for over 20 years.
Amazing service. Just took my rabbit Celery to her first check up and the veterinarian was VERY knowledgeable and gave me so much useful information on how to properly take care of my first pet and even a small care package with lots of info! I am very grateful for her help since most vets don’t accept rabbits. 10/10 experience :-) ????
Always 5* service from the staff & Dr Mallock is awesome!
Got the feeling they care more about the money than the pets. got way more options at my new vet
First time at this clinic since moving to Halifax. Very impressed with the service, efficiency and kindness of the staff here. Harley was very comfortable with staff.
Absolutely horrible service. He had no idea what he was doing to our dog..Don't take a chance with him.
Very nice , caring and excellent place. Excellent care for all animals and they're awesome with people as well. They go above and beyond for pets plus their humans. And they're very caring for after care when pet gets home too. They phone you make sure everything's going great.
I was extremely satisfied with the care and the cost for the services to our little poodle. Highly recommend!!!
Amazing clinic with very knowledgeable professionals. They have always come through for us and for our pets. Highly recommend.
Great staff, convenient location.
Great service, Dr.Varinder Dabri took his time to explain everything. He was very thorough but didn't do unnecessary tests. Very good prices. Our cat Harmonious is a healthy, happy boy now. We would recommend bringing your animal to Fairview.
Great staff. Freddy approved.
Very friendly and helpful,never felt more comfortable at a veterinary hospital.First visit was yesterday and this will definitely be where we go for now on.
Great staff and response !
This clinic is so wonderful! I love how they send me reminders, email and phone, and they are always there to trouble shoot issues with my senior furbabies. Dr. Adrienne Harris-Dain and the vet techs are so wonderful with my cats!! They are so empathic, helpful, and caring that I always feel fully supported in the care and treatment planning and making sure my pets are as happy and healthy as they can be in their elder years. A great team that will always greet you with a smile ????.
The clinic is a fantastic place to bring your animal. They have looked after my dog Maximus since we got him over 6 years ago, they are very knowledgeable and extremely friendly. The staff greet you with a smile and always make the dog feel comfortable, he actually loves going there. I would and have recommend this clinic to many of my friends. Thanks for the care you provide to Maximus
I appreciate that they care about our pets, follow up with calls after an appointment, and give options for saving costs.
Kind, caring and flexible veterinary practice. We take our two young cats (one with special needs) and the staff couldn't be better. I even received a thoughtful email about treatment options from Dr. Harris-Dain this weekend. The office is clean, well located, and stocked with treats and a wide selection of special diets and other pet supplies.
I have a dog who has suffered with allergies for several years. We had been to different vets trying to figure out what could help her. We had tried many products, medications, and foods, and she had little to know relief. She had taken all of her hair off her legs and paws and she had hardly any energy (she was living her life like a cat; sleeping all day). One day I was out for a walk with her and someone stopped me and told me her story. Turns out she had 3 of the same breed of dog and two of hers appeared to have same issue (an untreated allergy with hair missing). This kind stranger told me about Fairview animal hospital, and what they did for her two, and how they are so much better. I went home and made an appointment, and wow, my dog, now less than a year later, has her hair back, her energy back, she's back to being a dog! We visit Fairview animal hospital every 25 days for a quick and painless injection, and it's done the world for my wee doggo. Can't say enough about this place.
Staff are always friendly and helpful. Happy to keep taking my pup here!
The stuff there is very friendly and always there to help you out. I am very pleased with the stuff. They take time out to look you pet over very well to see what's the problem is. I am always bring my pets back there.
I love going to and entrusting my pets to Fairview Animal Hospital because they are knowledgeable, professional and they care. This is consistent throughout all of their staff. I have taken all of my pets there and no matter if it’s a cat or a ferret, they treat your animals with kindness and love. I highly recommend this vet clinic, especially Dr. Dibblee. She is one of the best veterinarians we have ever seen (we have seen a lot). She is thorough and doesn’t rush, very knowledgeable, professional and kind. She is also very practical and gives solid advice, which is helpful for pet owners. It’s evident she loves her job and animals.
Won't be back, front desk staff argued with me over the breed of my (purebred) dog, and still marked him under the wrong breed after arguing. Staff communication is horrible, when I went to get my dog's stitches removed from his head, the vet was looking under my dog and asked if he had been neutered? To which I replied no, you're removing the stitches in his head...would have expected the vet to know what he was doing... Id rather drive into Langley or Abbotsford to go to another vet in case of emergency again. Will never be back.
This was only the second time I've had to come to FAH. I've brought two of my snakes to see them and both times we had a great visit! Our most recent vet appointment went better than expected and the vet was super great and friendly! She was able to fix up my oldest snake! Highly recommended for your reptile needs!
Very friendly and helpful staff!
Sharon and Dr Harris are two of our dog (Ryker's) favorite people. They are always super friendly, knowable and professional. They take their time with Ryker and answer all of our questions. Ryker loves his visits to the vet.
I brought my dog to Dr. Dain-Harris at Fairview Animal Hospital for the first time last week, and the experience could not have been improved. The staff were welcoming and very quickly took us to an exam room, a great bonus for my reactive dog - some vet offices have very crowded waiting rooms with lots of animals, and this is hard on timid ones. Dr. Dain-Harris did a very thorough exam and explained the issue very clearly. Both she and the vet tech were both competent and warm, making me feel that we were in very good hands. I have no reservations whatsoever in making this my new vet clinic.
Heard Great reports
I appreciate that they care about our pets, follow up with calls after an appointment, and give options for saving costs.
They are very welcoming and my cat enjoys the attention they give
This is the most amazing Vet I've ever taken any of my pets to! I've had ongoing issues with my cat over the past few months and have needed multiple ongoing visits and treatments and they have been so reasonable and fair to deal with. They're so reliable and responsive, always available any day or night to take your call and extremely accommodating for emergencies and short notice visits. Their facilities are always very clean and their staff is extremely polite and professional. Dr Varinder D & Family, Prince and I can't thank you enough for your ongoing dedication and care! Thank you so much!!
Very very very happy. Very professional, knowledgeable and caring of hamsters. Thank you Fairview Animal Hospital :)
The staff here are excellent. They are extreamly helpful when answering questions and providing support to families when it comes to concerns with their fur babys. I have taken both my cats and dog to this location and they treat them as If they are their own. If you are a new pet owner looking for a vet or just looking to switch I recommend this place highly.
Kind and really try to do their best to take care of your pets. Always follow up, to check in to see how your pet is doing. I will continue taking my cats here as I trust they will do their best and their rates are reasonable. Both my cats have anxiety and they have that noted so that they always provide them with a room that has feliway.
Everyone there is so knowledgeable and kind - both to us and our animals. They take excellent care of our ferrets and cats. A few of our pets need daily medication and regular check-ups; the staff always makes the process so smooth. If you have ferrets, I HIGHLY recommend Dr Dibblee!
Dr. Micaela Das Gupta was amazing with helping my rotties skin issues. She made both of us very comfortable and was kind, calm and very intelligent. Vet tech Kate was also wonderful! They got me in within an hour of calling too!
Warm, friendly, knowledge staff. Took their time examining my kitty, making sure she was comfortable and tried to reduce her stress
This clinic & it’s staff deserve a round of applause! Thank you FVAH! I have been a client of Fairview animal hospital for over 12 years. We see Dr Harris for my bad cat & Dr Dibblee for our prized chinchilla! Dr Harris also treated my childhood cat until it was her time, (9 years ago) the professionalism & compassion shown during that time was more than above & beyond! Miracles happened & I spent almost an extra year with my beloved Kitty thanks to the optimal care! I swear Dr Harris loved my Molly almost as much as me & the love kept her here longer ❤️ Dr Harris is beyond patient with my naughty boy who has had issue after issue (temperament, gastro, bladder, eats things he shouldn’t) over the last 7 years, I don’t trust many people with my special boy. She has done a remarkable job! When my chinchilla came into my life I was so happy to find out an exotic vet was at my local clinic, and she was able to see Dr Dibblee! She had taught us so much about our little sweetie & she had been living her best life since being seen! We unfortunately were not feeding her the proper diet back then & they got us back on track without judgement! I would highly recommend anyone taking their beloved pets here! I would see the doctors here myself if I could! ????????
They took wonderful care of our cat when he needed an operation. They explained everything to us, did a quote for the bill and were very caring and knowledgable.
Everyone was friendly, kind and compassionate - I felt like my kitty was in good hands and that his well being was actually cared about. Excellent vet clinic.
Nice staff. Quick to see my kitty. Visit felt rushed but then again they had more emergencies. If you have an emergency with your pet this is the place to take them. 3 star rating only because the item I ordered wasn't in the pickup box even when I called and stated I'd be picking up in half-hour.
Every visit here has been positive.Clean upon entry, well organized,and welcoming. Chris extended his greetings to us into the waiting room and used the computer to verify our personal info,and address the issues at hand.The veterinarian was welcoming first and foremost, with her animal patient.Our pet was properly assessed and i was provided the appropriate medications and advise to me
The worst experience He said I had to see an eye specialist and then says he can do it himself and cut out a piece of my cats eye And he didn't even need it He could have made my cat blind And the room was far from clean He just my cat Thank god I went to country grove cause so was not the case Just eye drops and a pill If your reading this just shut your doors and walk away your no good
Great staff
I took my ragdoll kitten for booster shots excellent service great veterinarian honest and not over priced . I Highly recommend i will be bringing my dog here and my cats from now on.
Unfortunately my only experience with this hospital was when my rabbit Pippin was extremely sick, I took him there. They were very straight forward and let me know that no matter what they did he might still pass away, they explained everything very clearly which I really appreciated. They let me know as soon as he passed away everything that happened, and were very sympathetic. They explained my options and helped me a lot. When I went in to say my final good-byes everyone was giving me their condolences. They even went above and beyond and sent me a card expressing their sympathy. Even though my experience was very sad they were extremely helpful and very caring.
Took my baby kitten there and was told to pay for for my next appointment in advance so I did and when I arrived to my next appointment I was told to pay more for things they didn’t explain. I was told he needed one needle at first but then ended up finding out he needed 4-5 to be spayed and neutered there. All at $92 per needle. For someone who is a first time cat owner it was not clear what he needed and found the costs were always increasing as well as the treatments he needed.
We called around to get one of our rats, Zeus, in for treatment for an eye issue and Fairview was very quick to get him in and took great care of him. He's an old boy but is doing quite well. I would definitely recommend this clinic!
Great clinic. Friendly staff. Highly recommended!
I'm always happy with my visits to the Fairview Animal Hospital. All the staff genuinely care. I greatly appreciate the time they take to answer my questions and explain different therapeutic options and outcomes. Everyone has always been compassionate and accommodating when my dog is ill or needs emergency care - which is incredibly helpful since I'm also in distress when my dog is not well. Lastly, they follow-up! They always give me a call following any treatments to make sure my dog is responding well. Even after I took my dog to the Metro Emergency Clinic in Burnside (outside Fairview Animal Hospital's operating hours), the Fairview staff still called me the next day to follow-up and make sure he was doing ok. I would highly recommend this vet!
Wont Recommend .No payment done of the work .
I have been a fur baby mama since 1980 and have always been extremely happy with the care of my kids. When I met Dr. Harris in 2009 I knew she was the Dr. for my pets. I always request an appointment with Dr. Harris. I think my 2 cats remember her and feel comfortable with her. All of the staff are great!
I find the Fairview Animal Hospital staff to be compassionate, caring, and very honest. There have been several times when I was expecting an expensive procedure for my dogs and they have told me it wasn't necessary. They keep my dogs healthy and happy, and don't try to take advantage of pet owners who will do anything for their animals.
Is this the same vet that owned The Dear Animal Hospital in Richmond? If so, i would like a copy of my cats records. My new vet tried to get his records but we both just found out that its been closed down. Would really appreciate a copy of my cats records. Thanks!
Amazing staff and the best help! I bring all my pets here. I find that they are very caring, and they are very fixable with appointment times. They always make sure to have my pets food readily available.
As a first time puppy owner filled with constant panic, Fairview Animal has been AMAZING every step of the way. All the staff are absolutely lovely, especially in those unfortunate stressful situations that you come across as a pet owner. They are super kind and compassionate. Dr. Kenney and Peyton are absolute rockstars, and my puppy gets so excited for vet visits (but that could also be the delicious treats). 100% would recommend them to anyone looking for a new vet (and have done so!). A big thank you to the Fairview Animal Hospital team. You are awesome! :)
Not preferred
I own a 3 year old "rescue" dog who can be reactive, especially with men. He could not be approached by the vet safely at his first appointment for his needles so she perscribed medication to be taken before his next appointment. The vet and her technician were extremely patient with him and persisted until he was successfully given his needles. I will be training to use a muzzle so the dog can go out in public for walks safety. I feel supported by the staff as I undertake this challenge
Good service, quite expensive.
Great hospital and staff!
I just want to thank everyone at Fairview Animal hospital. They are very compassionate and caring. Dr. Micaela Das Gupta made me feel very comfortable and gave Peaches the best care she needed, even up until the end. I thank you all very much! The only vet i will go to!
Very caring and attentive staff and vets.
I am ever so grateful and a big thank you to Dr. Darvinder D at fair view animal hospital. A very kind, genuine and gentle man. Our kitty, Calli, went missing on Dec. 6, he told us we could put a poster of her in his window. Cali was found 12 days later, just a week before Christmas. She was too skinny and she had been bitten on her ear. We took her to this wonderful Doctor for an exam. He had her fixed up quickly; stitches in her ear, spayed, caught her up on all her shots, antibiotics and pain medications for a super unbelievable reasonable price!!! It’s a Merry Christmas for us! Highly recommend their services!
Took my pup in for a first visit for shots. Dr. Dibblee was fantastic! She was super supportive and knowledgeable. Tricky in Covid times to feel like you are getting good care sometimes but this was a really great experience. Went back the next day with a few concerns about my pup’s reaction and saw Dr.Harris. Again, amazing care and support and I felt very reassured everything was ok. I highly recommend this vet clinic.
Awesome! Staff is friendly and very helpful.
Dr. Harris and Vet Tech Sharon were great with Spice and Smudge (cats). Caring and compassionate, the cats were at ease as they could be at the vet. The clinicians provided non-judgmental advice and tips for weight management and care for my mature kitty companions. I will continue to return to Fairview in future.
Great experience, covid safe protocols in place, attentive and thorough staff.
Recently had to bring my cat in and from walking in the door to when we were walking out I felt comfortable and like I was in good hands. The staff and doctor were absolutely amazing and I wouldn't hesitate to return. :)
Caring, attentive staff.
The staff and doctors of the Fairview Animal Hospital are top notch, caring people. Who have always taken impeccable care of my four-legged family members over the past 15 years. Especially Dr. Suzette Dibblee
My puppy, Bella has been a patient of Fairview Animal Hospital since she was just a couple of months old. Now, at 8 months old, she gets excited as soon as we pull into the parking lot, she knows she's going to get a lot of cuddles and belly rubs. Every Vet, every assistant and every admin person we've me there has been helpful, forthcoming, friendly and encouraging.
Our Labrador retriever has has serious medical issues since she was 6 months old. Fairview animal hospital gave her excellent care and is still going strong at 9 yrs old. Thank you to the staff!
My girl Jade has been diagnosed with cancer...it’s in her tail...I had scheduled a surgery for two weeks from the diagnosis but wasn’t feeling confident about this decision...I called and asked for Dr. Harris to call me so we could have a conversation...she called and we talked and decided to postpone the surgery so she could see her (it was a different vet we had seen for the diagnosis). Dr. Harris was fabulous and walked me through all my options and I now feel so much better moving forward!
They staff are wonderful
Took my puppy to get sutures removed after ear cropping and Dr. Varinder Singh Dabri had no clue what he was doing. He even forgot one suture in the ear.
I have been taking my pets to the Fairview Animal Hospital since they were on DVR. I have always gotten excellent service, the staff is always very helpful and knowledgeable. In particular, my dog Grace had several visits over the years, and I am thankful for all the help, advice and sensitivity that I received for her. Great service, and products as well! The most recent patient I have brought in is my cat Ani, a rescue who suffers from arthritis, among other things. I did not want to treat this with with drugs if possible. I was guided to the "Mobility" formula of the Royal Canin pet food, and have been rewarded as Ani has steadily become more mobile and playful. I will always prefer to take my pets here, and would recommend the same to anybody.
Amazing people
I have 3 Doberman’s and a Rat terrier. All had different problems and I went to Fairview animal hospital. Was very happy with the the service I received. The prices were very reasonable and the staff were gentle and caring with my animals. 2 of my dogs had surgeries and the vet called every morning for the first few days to make sure they were doing well. As a pet owner it’s very refreshing to see a vet so passionate about his work and at the same time , not hand you a bill that’s going to break the bank. Where ever you live this clinic is worth the drive. Very happy to have found this vet !!! 5 stars
My partner and I have had really great experiences with Fairview, we take our ferrets there and all of the staff are really great with them!
Wonderful and caring staff!
Very professional and loving with your pet. Great team.
The care we have received from Fairview Animal Hospital has been great. We have been with the clinic for over 15 yrs. Our dog is at the end of life and the staff have been great. They are caring and empathy with our struggle to make that final decision. Thank you to Dr Dibblee who took the time this week to discuss and provide support as we struggle with the decision that our little pup is coming to the end of her life.
We have been bringing our dogs to Fairview for quite a few years and I can only say that EACH and EVERY time we have been treated professionally and with care and genuine concern and interest in whatever dog is/was presenting what issue(s). And believe me, I have had dogs with ISSUES!!! The whole team is AWESOME and even one day when maybe we no longer have dogs, I shall still want to visit once in awhile to soak up the caring atmosphere and the smiles. Fairview ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!
Best vet I've ever been too.
I brought my dog in and Dr. Varinder and his staff were amazing with her. I would definitely continue to return.
Went above and beyond to save my bunny Thumper on such short notice when we couldn’t figure out what was wrong with her. He kept her overnight and monitored her, kept me up to date with everything he was doing. Would highly recommend coming here! :)
I took my senior cat into Fairview Animal Hospital the other day and was seen by Griffin and Dr. Mika (?). I had had my cat into the Hospital a number of years ago but this was the first time I met this medical team. They were both very professional, knowledgeable and compassionate about my cat's situation. They recommended the best procedure to be followed explaining the benefits, cost and otherwise, of doing certain tests at this time rather than having to return for another consultation. They also explained when I would receive follow-up information. I am very pleased with their service and would not hesitate to visit them again should the need arise. I took my senior car into Fairview Animal Hospital in preparation for traveling into the US. Victoria, the vet assistant was very helpful, weighed and documented Winnie’s particulars and told me what the doctor would do in Winnie’s appointment. Then Dr. Harris came in and examined Winnie. They were both very gentle and compassionate. I received what I needed for travel and Dr. Harris even suggested an alternate medication to relieve some of Winnie arthritis discomfort. I would highly recommend Fairview Animal Hospital.
Brilliant Service! Took Crumpet here last week for a teeth clean and the Dr was excellent with him! Really knew his stuff and even gave Crumpet a complimentary nail clipping!! Friendly family business that I would definitely recommend.
Very friendly I felt they really took the time to explain and answer any of my concerns. As well as provide information I didn't even know I needed
Don’t bring bearded dragons They said they worked on bearddd dragons so I brought my dragon when she was a little off a couple months ago They recommend a X-ray charged me 180 ish dollars all together and told me there not familiar with dragons At the simple request to at least have a copy of my $180 X-ray appointment they would not give me a copy
Our cat needed surgery wich Dr Varinder performed. He did a great job and he doesn't overcharge. We have also taken our dogs there for their shots and he was great. We will definitely continue to use Fairview Animal Hospital for all our pets medical needs.
EDIT Feb 2019 The reception desk you see at the office was sold to Fairview Animal Hospital-Dr. Varinder and he has chosen to ignore my phone calls and not pay for it. Take your chances, if you use a vet who cannot afford $650 for a desk, you may want to think about what else he is skimping out on. I would never take my pet here. Also the other posts look like they are from people who know the owner. I can go on and on about this guy. April 2019 Update: as a result of me posting this on Google review, and weeks of asking for the money, he has finally paid only the basic amount, not the interest that is still due. Payment came only after months of asking him to pay, and listening to the countless excuses.
I could not recommend Fairview Animal Hospital more highly. They take such excellent care of my cats and I can tell they genuinely want what's best for animals. Even during Covid precautions when you can't go inside be with your pets, I'm confident that they're providing incredible and compassionate care. I'm always impressed with the thoroughness of the appointments and the whole teams willingness to answer questions, give recommendations, and accommodate appointments/schedules. Truly the best vet practice I've been to. My cats have seen Dr. Kenney and Dr. Das Gupta and they are both wonderful. Thanks FAH.
Had Merry my rescue dog in for her Cushing Disease 3 month checkup. Merry loves to go there which is really nice. Dr Dibble is always excellent with Merry and everyone is SUPER great with her. So very reassuring to know from entering the door to closing it on the way out Merry is in fabulous hands.
I bring my dog here such a good services,she was so ill Dr gave her full treatment, staff was so nice, they were so professional, prices are also reasonable as compared to other vets, hospital is so clean, highly recommend to visit this clinic if you do not want to waste your money and lost your pet .thank you
Always helpful kind and compassionate
I have been taking Indie (dog) here for the past 12 years. During this time Indie's issues have been dealt with lots of care and efficiency. The Doctors and staff are very friendly and make me feel like we are one of the family. If you need an animal hospital to get help with your pet, this is the place you should go. So happy I decided on Fair view Animal Hospital and will continue to do so. Many thanks to everyone there that has helped us over the years.
I love this vet I take both of my dogs lily and Jesse here and they take such amazing care of them I couldn't ask for a better team. When we first adopted Jesse we went thru a couple terrible vets before finding Fairview animal hospital and have never looked back these vets and there teams are the most amazing and knowledgeable people and will take the utmost respect and care when dealing with you and your animals.
The staff was very friendly and helpful with dealing with my dog. They seemed down to earth and very kind. I appreciated their honesty and prices.
Friendly and quick
We went in today and for the first time my dog wasn't freaking out. He was very good with him and very informational. The prices are great and make it easier for us to get our dog the care he needs. Good job would totally recommend
I recently started taking my cats here and I am so happy I made that decision. Dr. Mica is awesome and all staff members are truly amazing too. They do not try and rush you and give you the time and attention what you need. I will continue to bring my babies here and will highly recommend them to my friends. Awesome place and staff. And their prices are great compared to the place I previously went. Keep up the great work. It’s a pleasuring bringing my babies here
Went to Fairview Animal Hospital this past Sunday as my dog was having a flare up of his pancreatitis and our regular vet was closed. We saw Dr. Varinder Dabri and I told him my dog had pancreatitis that had been diagnosed a month before by our vet, and I was looking for antibiotics and fluids to help him. He told me he had to run a blood test to be sure and to come back later to get him after he got fluids. The entire time during the exam I did not feel like he was listening to what I was telling him about my dogs health history, which proved to be exactly the case. I had to call the office to get an update when he was supposed to call me, and it took an hour for him to call me back. When he did finally call, he avoided answering the questions I had about about the tests that were done and all he kept saying was that it looked like my dog has Cushings but that I needed to pay for another test to confirm it. I told him I was not going to do that and had to ask three times what time my dog could be picked up at. The entire phone call seemed like he was just trying to push for more tests. I arrived near the end of the day to get my dog per my instructions and Dr. Dabri was not even at the clinic any more to talk to me about my dog or answer any questions. The tech had no idea what was happening with my file. She processed everything and when I asked about the missing antibiotic I was supposed to be getting, she had no idea what I was talking about and had to call (presumably) Dr. Dabri to see. She then gave me amoxicillin (which is for something completely different than treating pancreatitis- my vet even told me to stop giving it to my dog and prescribed the proper antibiotics). I called my regular vet the next morning to tell them what happened and to book an appointment for a second, because I just didn't trust what I had been told. My vet contacted Dr. Dabri's office to obtain a copy of the records prior to my appointment the following day so they could review what had been done and the test results. When I arrived at my appointment with my vet, I was told Dr. Dabri and his office never sent the records. Thankfully I had asked for a copy of the bloodwork that was done when I picked my dog up, and my vet was able to review that. He advised the other markers were nowhere near indicative of Cushings, nor does my dog exhibit any symptoms of Cushings. I would not recommend Dr. Dabri or his clinic, even in an absolute emergency. They seem to not care about the animals and only about gauging you for money to run tests. I found them evasive about my questions and he offered no explanation about the test results whatsoever, so I don't know if he was trying to hide the fact there wasn't a true concern but was looking to get more money out of me, or if he genuinely doesn't know what he is doing. I was HORRIFIED when I saw the search results when I googled his name. These are common complaints dating back almost a decade. Please do your due diligence for the sake of your pet and research who you take them to before going to Dr. Dabri.
I could write a long, sad novel detailing the series of poor experiences we have had with this veterinary clinic. In the interest of efficiency, I will simply say that this vet has consistently failed to be competent, honest or responsible with the health of our pet. I acknowledge responsibility for continuing to patronize this business for so long; I wanted to believe there was some equity in their history with our pet. But from bungled prescriptions to misdiagnosis, unnecessary and inappropriate testing to unprofessional communication, this vet has missed every conceivable mark. There are have been a couple of doctors that have been nice to deal with. Sadly, the bad so vastly outweighed the good, here. I would strongly recommend against using this clinic.
I’m beyond sad that it’s come to the point where I’m having to post a negative review about this clinic. I’ve been taking my dog here for 6 years and spent a good chunk of money at the clinic over the years due to her health conditions and have never once questioned a bill. We had always had great experiences up until this summer. Dr.Mica unfortunately was unable to appropriately address our growing concerns re our dogs chronic diarrhea. I had to suggest a diet change and specific food which is something I feel she should have done from the beginning. Even more frustrating is their unprofessionalism when it comes to handling a complaint. The reviews stating they only seem to care about money appear to sadly be on point. I was essentially double charged for something and it took an unreasonable amount of effort to get this addressed and refunded. Finally, after having them transfer my dogs file to another clinic I spoke with Charlene the manager who stated she felt it was best I take my business elsewhere. She was aware I had already transferred my dogs file so her saying this was unnecessary and used as a way to put the blame on me which was beyond unprofessional. Instead of making clients feel like their concerns aren’t valid she could have apologized for the inconsistency I experienced with charges, communication, and ultimately care within the clinic. Had this been the approach taken I feel I would have never felt the need to escalate my complaints. I was refused information on how to escalate my complaint multiple times when asked as well. This experience heavily outweighs the good over the last 6 years. I urge people to seriously consider choosing another vet clinic. This clinic needs to do better as people and their pets deserve better.
We had to put our dog down and the Vet and support staff were wonderful and very understanding. They arranged everything on very short notice and allowed my family to focus and dealing with our grief. I thank them for their efforts and kindness. We will definitely be using their services in the future and recommend them to others as well.
Very professional staff as well as knowledgeable. Always follow up clinic visit with phone call to see how your pet is doing. Very relaxed atmosphere wouldn't take my kitty PC any place else. Thank you guys you rock !!!!!!
Thanks to the vet and staff, for treating my cat Ginny. she was ill in last couple of days he put her on hospitalization under IV fluid and medication, i thought bill gonna be more then $400 he charged me less then i thought. thank to You
I did not get my cat’s problem resolved at a vet I went to because all vets are very busy. She would not even look at the pill pockets, and never has. The cost of the pills was a waste of money. Fairview Animation hospital gave her a needle for the medication which is what she always gets. I called the other vet to see if I could bring the pills that had not been opened back for a refund, and did not get a response.I have been going there for 39 years, I highly recommend them. They responded as soon as I called. THANK YOU
I needed to get my dog's nails cut, I tried over and over to do it myself. She fell off my lap the last time. I took her to Fairview Animal Hospital, they cut her nails in just a few minutes. She allowed them to clip her nails because they provided her with treats. The best part of all was all they wanted for payment was a donation to a charity that helps out people pay for vet appointments who are financially challenged. How wonderful is that?
I hate vets. I dread going to them because I have had several negative experiences. Saying my experience with this one was a pleasant surprise would be an understatement. They fully explained their findings, gave me options for treatment, offered advice for things I could try on my own, and did all this for a very reasonable price. If I had one complaint, it would be their automatic suggestion for Royal Canin food, but they had no issues with me preferring another brand. Lifetime customer.
this so-called vet got my cat really sick his paws so infected I actually had to go to another vet after paying $450 and hes it was fine please do not bring your pet to this vet
This veterinary office is amazing! Very well priced compared to others! I was quoted $2500+ for a surgery from other vets offices while Fairview saved my cat for half that price!! Not to mention he was able to answer my nervous/panicked questions in t middle of the night. He was always easy to get a hold of and very straight forward.
Called in an emergency after regular opening hours and the Vet was there in under 40 minutes. They took fantastic care of our kitty and gave us regular updates on her status and their procedures. We couldn't have asked for a better emergency vet, thank you Dr.Varinder for your exceptional care and expertise, you saved our cat and we are so grateful.
I have been a client of this clinic for well over 25 years and have always received the best service and advice from all staff members and veterinarians. In particular, I have taken many pets to Dr. Adrienne Harris-Dain over the years and found her to be interested and caring with great advice. Dr. Harris-Dain has always treated my pets like they were her own animals and I would recommend her and this clinic to anyone who has beloved pets.
Fairview Animal Hospital were with us throughout our first dog's life, and we are delighted to be back with our new puppy, experiencing the same care and friendliness and genuine love for animal welfare.
They have always been amazing with my last cat and they're just as incredibly loving toward my two kittens now. I highly recommend this place. They truely know and love working with animals. Your fur babies are in good hands!
I have a bunch of dogs. The vets and the whole staff are fantastic with all of them. And they've been great through this Covid19 time
Doing a great job during Covid.
Amazing staff, beyond helpful and compassionate. Would recommend anyone who is looking for a well priced vet without sacrificing quality of service or care. Will go to great lengths for you and your pets needs. Would rate higher if possible. Thank you for everything, made a terrible time in our lives go as smooth as it possibly could.
i brought my cat Tiger here, he has some problem in the eye, before i came here, i took to other vet in the area but they did not even look at it then i brought him to Fair View animal Hospital, Doctor took a sample from the growth and sent to the lab, it came to the bad Tumor then he did surgery and removed the piece from eye lid also he gave me estimate up front , he did really good job, i highly recommend to go to him and his charges are also fair, staff is also knowledgeable and clinic was really clean as well.
Staff are very professional and caring and the office is always very clean. My nervous kitty is always well looked after! Thanks
My beloved 15 year old dog took a turn for the worst rapidly over thanksgiving weekend. Shes 90 lbs and a car ride would have been impossible. I tried all 3 palliative home care euthanasia vets, and called many others. Sadly i read, we are “closed for holiday” and others told me new west was “too far” of a distance to go for a dying animal. Sigh.... thru a friend of a friend i was graciously hooked up with Dr Varinder. He came to our aid in less than 24 hours. Hes was kind , compassionate and professional . If i lived in aldergrove i would use his hospital for all my future dogs due to the simple fact that he cares. Forever grateful for his service.
Beware from this doctor and clinic.
The directions for Reba's after care were clear; a follow-up call from the hospital came the next day to see how Reba was doing and a number given should any emergency arise after hours..The staff and Dr.Harris-Dain answered all my questions in a caring and professional manner. I couldn't be happier with the quality of the service to Reba.
I brought my dog Molly yesterday due to a very bad ear infection and she had a lump on her tail that was bleeding. Doctor Varinder cleaned out her ears and removed the lump and cleaned her teeth. I'm a senior citizen and due to lack of funds he has given me the opportunity to come back and pay. I was very impressed with his work as well as his prices are very reasonable.
We cannot say enough about the wonderful staff at Fairview Animal Hospital! They always accommodate our needs for our fur-girl, Georgia! Thank you for all that you do!!!!
Have been going to this vet for our dogs and cats since 1996. Dr. Adrienne Harris-Dain is a remarkable vet, always showing empathy for us and our emotional and financial concerns regards treatment.
Dr.Dibblee is a really special vet. She's done so much for my family, both furry and human. If you have an exotic pet, go visit her for medical advice; you won't be disappointed.
We know our ferrets are always receiving the best possible medical care at Fairview Animal Hospital. There are no words we can give to express the appreciation our family has for the care, compassion and expertise we have experienced as patients of Dr. Dibblee.
I worked here for a short period of time and I can say that the front desk staff are not professionals and do not have adequate training. As for Dr. Dabri, he is rarely actually in the hospital (leaving early) only spending a few hours in the facility for necessary procedures or being in his office. The animals being held are not appropriately monitored. I would not recommend bringing your pet here.
Buddy had his first trip to the vet yesterday and got spoiled with treats and pets! Great reminders and follow up. Also gave us a very informative new puppy package!
Unfortunately all they care about is money!!!!
Expensive and useless.
The vet is shady. He waited until I left the room to supposedly inject my dog. Prescribes extra medication and is prone to the bait and switch. Understates prices to bring you in then upcharges like crazy
Amazing vets! My guinea pigs are extremely well looked after here.
I honestly would recommend them to anyone. Very friendly and professional, they care about the animals, and they are very informative. Highly recommend.
Vet was amazing came In early my dog had got into a dog fight the night before and needed surgery their prices were really good to better then any other place I called thanks again to the staff at Fairview we will definitely be back
Amazing service, so much attention and care for our fur baby
Our local vet recommended Dr. Dibblee and Fairview Animal Hospital after an eye infection made it necessary to remove on the left eye of our African hedgehog, Rosie. From the very beginning I was impressed with the thoroughness of the team as well as their willingness to accommodate us as we do not live in Halifax and had to travel for the surgery. The facility is lovely and very clean and all of the staff are friendly and, attentive, and caring. The vet tech who oversaw the anesthesia was very kind and thorough and made sure that we understood everything the procedure would entail and our options. Dr. Dibblee is an incredible doctor who explained everything to us and our options while being very sensitive and did everything possible to ensure that we and Rosie were as prepared for the surgery as possible. The surgery itself went incredibly well; the eye socket is very neat and closed up and looks clean and healthy and Rosie is back to her happy self only days after treatment. I honestly can't believe how well she looks after such a major surgery. Fairview provided clear instructions and easy guides for after treatment and the dosing of medications. They have been consistent and thorough with follow ups since the surgery via phone, email, and text which I really appreciate. Overall, I cannot praise Fairview Animal Hospital enough; they genuinely care about animals and do everything in their power to ensure the best outcome for pets and their families. I would recommend Fairview to any pet parent and I am very grateful for their assistance.
Fairview Animal Clinic is the best veterinary clinic in all of HRM. The staff are all caring, professional and courteous. And they go above and beyond to help you and your pet. I cannot say enough great things about FAC. Change vets and take your pet there.
I've been taking my pets to the Fairview Animal Hospital for many years now. The staff is always very friendly and welcoming, it is always easy to book appointments (I usually request online and they confirm right away), and their prices are very reasonable! They also really care about your pets and will follow up after your appointment to see how your pet is doing, if necessary, and they send reminders for the next time your pet should be seen. A few times, I have also emailed them about my pets problem (with a picture if possible) to see if they recommended me bringing the pet in or not - it's nice to be able to save a trip to the vet and some money if possible, and they also give as much advice through email as possible and don't try to talk you into taking your pet there unnecessarily to make a few bucks. I appreciate their service very much!
Took care of my little dog for me.
Great care for Abbie, our 6 mths old Kouvasz. Had day surgery and I was given update and follow up care plan verbally from physician immediately post procedure. Also given same instruction on paper to refer to. Next day contacted by clinic as to how Abbie was doing. Was given take home medication to control her post op pain and allow her to remain calm and rest and sleep.
I had a shedding issue with my leopard gecko and needed her looked at asap. I called Fairview Animal Hospital and even though they were booked up, they managed to squeeze her in. They were very helpful, super nice and sweet. They truly went above and beyond. I recommend for anyone with exotics and any pet in general. They will be in good hands!
I had a very good experience at this vet clinic. The staff and vets gave my pet excellent care.
They saw that my cat was stressed so they recommended another way to get his nails trimed.
This was me first time taking my previous puppy here and they ladies at the front and the vet and assistant were all lovely.i had all my questions answered and their prices are very reasonable. Thank you ...
Thanks to the staff and vet for the treatment to my lilly ????????
Our current dog is the third rescue we've had cared for at the Fairview Animal Hospital. Over the past 15-plus years we've always found the doctors and support staff to be compassionate and thorough. We've never felt rushed during the appointments and have always received detailed explanations to help us make good decisions. Thank you!
I just want to start off by saying WOW! The team at Fairview is so caring, kind, gentle and they really are there for the pets health vs. money. My baby (kitty 3yrs old) had to stay for two nights due to a blockage... I took him home and sadly I had to bring him back.... you would think most pets would have a freak out going back there.... Not my little babe, he was so happy to be going back because he knew when he was there he felt better, that he was left in good hands... P.s. the first day I left him there I felt so much guilt I bawled my eyes out for 5 mins before I could drive away..... so worried about how he would be treated. Seeing how they are with him and how he is with them makes my heart so warm. They treat him as he is part of their family. If you have a chance to use them as your vet, you'll never want to find another! I hands down recommend Fairview !!!
We made his website and all IT stuff but he never made payments. Even cheque was bounced . Even tile guys and other trades persons did not receive any money for work. So We are alos unpublishing his website .
Excellent management and great staff!
Dr. Harris is our dog's vet and we have always been pleased with her demeanor and knowledge. There have never been any problems in the years we've been going there. The staff is always cheerful and competent.
We've been taking our Shiba Inu pups, Ringo and Kami, to Fairview Animal Hospital for several years now simply because the clinic, it's front-of-house workers, and particularly veterinarian Dr. Suzanne Diblee have always provided superlative compassion and care. Our latest visit, just days ago, just confirmed our confidence in Dr. Diblee and the clinic. Ringo is already showing distinctbsigns of improvement. Thanks Suzanne! John & Laichan H.
Snowball was very sick and meowing loudly while walking with a arched back trying to go to the bathroom. She had some urine drop our several times. I saw some on the floor which looked like it had blood in it. I tried two emergency hospital, but the wait was about ten hours at one and five to six at the other. She was freeking out so I went home. I called Fairview hospital the next morning and they called around to see if I could get her in that day. While on the phone a cancellation call came in and they booked her for that. A couple of hours later she was seen. X-ray and Antibiotic shot later she was home.Doing better. Most of all for them, she did not give the doctor a hard time! Thanks to Doctor Dibblee and staff.
I've trusted Fairview vets with my pets for over 20 years and the experience has been consistently positive for myself and my pets.
Overall awesome people.
Fantastic care and awesome staff. Couldn't ask for more
I bought my little buddy Stacy here she was not eating, throwing up ,this happened last night i called emergency to vet he gave proper treatment without over charging, hospital so cleaned, staff is so friendly,i highly recommended this clinic,they were so familiar to us thanks to you to saved my child.
Well qualified doctor with great experience
They really cared about my bearded dragon and did everything they could for her.
I have a six year old labradoodle and I've really liked the care he has had at the Fairview Animal Hospital. We don't have to wait long for appointments and the advice is carefully considered and accurate.
I recently switched from 4Paws to Fairview Animal Hospital so Zoey could have Dr. Micaela Das Gupta as her vet. Really happy with our experience here!
Friendly phone receptionist was attentive, asked lots of relevant questions, and seemed as interested as I was to get my pup in to see the vet ASAP. Very kind. Although my contact with the vet was via phone, the appointment was very positive. Thorough report by the vet, not rushed, answered all my questions. My dog is always happy to go in to the clinic.
Bad doctor.
Excellent vet, thanks for the help with my horse! Would recommend to all my friends
The staff are amazing at doing nails. My animals enjoyed it
