Reviews of Aberdeen Veterinary Hospital (Veterinarian)

D'Ann Faint

Awesome place. They treat your pet very well. Very personable staff who always are GENUINELY interested in your pet.

AARON LADD

We got a new puppy they were amazing. My daughter is interest in being a vet so they spent an extra 30 minutes showing her around. The care our animal received was superb. I understand why all of my friends recommended them.

Rae Foster

I took my cat in (Pandora) and she was treated very gently. I was a bit nervous, so very chatty, and asking a lot of questions, and everyone answered thoroughly and promptly, nobody made me feel bad for not knowing things. The place was clean and bright, and easy to get to from the highway, which was good. I did have to wait a little after my appointment time to be seen, even though it didn't seem busy, but i really didn't mind since everyone was so nice. Pandora ended up needing 3 or 4 vaccinations (my fault, it had been a while) and the vet was very gentle with her, she didn't meow or object to any of the three pokes, and she's very vocal. Overall a very pleasant and kind experience, I'm glad it was recommended to me.

Brad Bartlett

The best bet out there

Gerri Hall

Dr. Diane persisted in helping us find solutions for the symptoms of Pandoras syndrome in our 2 year old cat. She led us through some of Chester's extremely challenging behavioral issues. Thank your Dr. Diane! He is finally calm and content - and adores being in his catio in the early morning.

Sue Gray

Excellent service and very caring people

SUPERB SERVICE & ???? AMAZING VETS ❤KUKWSTSÉTSEMC[THANK YOU] FOR THE NEUTER❤❤

Robert Hale

The people at this Vet Hospital are amazing. We recently suffered the loss of our dog (he was very old and passed away on the way to the vet). They were kind and sympathetic. Very professional. Offered us a private room to say good bye and provided options for the dogs final remains.

Sujit Nair

A Very friendly and prompt clinic for your furry family members.

Alexis S

They were very helpful, helped my rats with short notice, didn't overcharge, and saw 2 rats when I had initially only called about one. Did a very good job cutting and filing the nails of my problem rat. The vet was very knowledgeable

Sean McKenna

Always friendly and informative.

Michelle Mccready

Both Vets at this clinic are excellent doctors who pay attention to details. Also, one of the most reasonably priced clinics in Kamloops.

jordan dick

Experience is great for our high stress cat with their specialist. They don't try to sell you vaccines that are not necessary unless your cat is outdoor. Would highly recommend over other veterinary clinics in Kamloops!

Brittney Purdon

I just had my first appointment here and I cannot begin to explain how happy I am with the staff and office here. My boy is epileptic and also a pretty big guy and with back leg problems the staff were so helpful to carry him in for me which was honestly a life saver. The vet was absolutely great at explaining the issues with my guys legs and going over the diagnoses after doing x-rays and explaining everything in great detail. I most definitely will be coming back to this office again both for the care and for the cleanliness and access to great medical imagining and care they showed for my boy. Over the years I have lost faith in vet care and today I finally feel like I found an office that will take care of him how I would so I appreciate that more than I can explain. If you aren't happy with your current vet or need a second opinion I suggest Aberdeen they won't try and price gouge you they are very clear with their costs and I find them to be very fair. I left feeling like they care about my boys success as much as I do and that is something you can't buy. Thanks to everyone there today.

took my cat to get shots and check up, the staff are very friendly and will tell you everything they know and are willing to help you any way possible. i would highly recommend going here!

Arthur L

Professional, personalised and experienced veterinary care. I have taken my dog to Dr. McKelvey and Dr. Gummeson several times over the past year and was treated to prompt, accurate service in a modern and clean environment (not smelly like some other clinics) - and all at a reasonable price. I really appreciated that my dog was being treated with modern diagnostic equipment as well. The experience and knowledge that both of the doctors possess really put me at ease knowing he would be looked after with the best care possible in Kamloops. Highly recommended.

Courtenay Watson

Doctors are great there.

Alex Passini

The best vet in Kamloops. Dr McKelvey has been so nice to deal with, my cat had some mouth surgery here and was well taken care of.

Emma McKechnie

I came from Ontario and the vet's there are money hungry, and in a rush to get to the next appointment. Aberdeen Veterinary clinic has been AMAZING with me and my two dogs. They are fair, they take their time and they even get right down on the floor with my timid little girl to allow her to get comfortable with them. I have never seen Veterinarians like these and I wouldn't take my dogs ANYWHERE else.

Celeste Giguere

Always takes great care of my pets, very knowledgable and caring staff. I always recommend this place to family and friends. Thanks for all you guys do!!

Jaime and Tara Johnson

Amazing service and cost when our large dog needed TPLO surgery on his knee. Happy dog!

Kat Penner

Such amazing care and service ❤

walt penner

Kind and Compassionate vet.

Jennifer L

even during COVID19 times the staff has gone out of their way to make a vet visit pleasant. caring folks. very knowledgeable vet. took the time to write up instructions on medications, provide background info on diagnosis, consult with a colleague. very thorough.

Bobbi-Jean Millwater

So good they looked after my baby girl Ginger so well.

Darcelle Lehmann

Best Vet in town. We almost made our cst toothless for nothing with a diagnosis from a different vet. We brought her here and she is amazing and still has all her teeth!!!

Chelsea Schlueter

Knowledgeable staff and decent prices ! My dog goes for his dental work today, we will see how nice of a job they do. I'm sure they will do great! ????

Flavio G Viola

Very helpful and friendly staff

Duncan Kennedy

Friendly, efficient, and fast. Everything I want out of a visit to the vet.

Celina

This is by far the best vet I have ever been to. Owning a pitbull is often challenging; there is a lot of stigma around the breed and in my experience, even vets can get nervous around my big guy. Not at this clinic! Every appointment I've had at this clinic the vet techs and the vets have done an amazing job making us feel welcomed and well-cared for. Recently my dog underwent extensive surgery at this clinic and I cannot get over what a good job they did bringing him back to good health. 10/10 would recommend this clinic to anyone.

Amanda Bischoff-Hepworth

Kind and compassionate staff. I've never had a bad experience here, even when going through loss.

Debbie Smith

Such caring staff and vets. My dogs actually get excited when we pull up to.

Elizabeth Todd

I have been taking my two senior cats here for several years. The staff is incredible. The vets are knowledgeable, caring and companionate. I highly recommend.

Anna

We came to Aberdeen Vet Hospital on an emergency basis when our dog, Zeus (@zeuswildadventures) slipped between some slate rocks and ended up with a 2 inch laceration on his left front leg. Teresa called me back immediately and we were booked on the spot despite us being 1h away in Anglemont. When we arrived, we were greeted and checked in within minutes. Dr. R. Campbell was sweet, gentle and efficient with the situation. Her and Teresa make a great team! Zeus was all stitched up and 1h later we were all done. THANK YOU for helping our fur-baby!

Richard Bugera

I take my two cats here, the Dr's are so good with them, are very cost conscious, and promote preventative medicine for the pets instead of surgical procedures.

adrienne baker

The staff and the doctors are excellent. The staff are all kind compassionate people. The doctors are both amazing. I highly recommend this vet clinic.

Stewart Erdis

Professional and friendly service. Greats vets

Valerie Wilson

I've had to take several animals here. The vets are both fantastic, very knowledgeable and the staff are all very friendly. The place is very nice and a calm environment to bring your stressed out animals to. One of the docs is even a cat specialist so if you have a worrisome pet with ongoing medical issues this is a great place to bring them.

Rhiannon Nachbaur

They have one of six cat specialists in all of Canada! Dr. Diane McKelvey is Board-certified in Feline Medicine (ABVP-Feline). She diagnosed a rare condition with my cats without huge costs and helped us avoid surgery. Her bedside manner and rapport with my fur babies clearly shows she both loves cats and what she does. HIGHLY recommended and I will never go back to my former vet.

Meg Polier

So knowledgeable, but I felt pressured into decisions without being told the cost of things. I like to have time to contemplate especially when treatment costs a lot.

Lorraine Westman

Been coming to this clinic for years, they are always friendly and call back to check on your pet. Personalized service and they don't pile unnecessary tests/procedures on you.

Garrett Niessen

Very caring doctor and staff. They always take the time explain thing and answer any question.

Madhukar iyer

We were not sure about Veternary facilities in Kamloops when we moved from Mississauga,ON. Dr.Diane and her team treated our German Shepard with absolute professional care and love for animals. Tyson and we could not have asked for more. Thank you AVH for steering Tyson back to good health. We went to the right place the first time.

Amber Drach

Dr. Diane was amazing with my cat. I have been to a lot of vets due to my cats health issues, and this is definitely the best vet experience I have ever had! Thank you so much!

Angie MC

Awesome vet. All our family pets go here. Love Dr Gummeson he is so kind & caring. He listens to everything & goes the extra mile when you have a pet that is afraid of men as my rescue was. He sat on the floor & waited for my big boy to come over to him instead of pushing in his face. When the dog didn't want the Dr looking in his mouth I said don't worry just tell me what you need done because he will allow me to do anything, so Dr G just explained what he wanted to see & I did that with no problems, no muzzles required. I also have to say it is the most affordable vet, Dr G spent over an hour with us & it was only $79 and pocket change, you just don't get that anywhere now-a-days especially a vet.

Chad Michell

Very happy with the staff and professional service. Nelly is in good hands here at AVH.

Bradley Munro

Timely and polite but only purchased dog food so far

Taylor Rae

DO NOT USE THIS VET!!!!! I am so disappointed and mad with this vet. My sweet beagle got into poison and I got her to the vet within an hour of her ingesting it. They made her puke it up and told me to come back Monday for a blood test. I did and they said she was fine and good to go. I asked about activated charcoal and vitamin K which should help counteract any poison in her system. They said she was fine and didn't need any further care. The Saturday afterwards she passed away at 3 a.m. I did everything they said and tried to get extra support. Money was no issue. They treated me poorly and my dog got poor care and now she is dead. DO NOT USE THIS VET!!!!!!!!

Leeann Neisner

Nice friendly and clean

Fred Legace

Caring vets and staff. Patiently explain everything. They love animals.

Ryan Ferguson

The most caring staff I've encountered personally. Choose to put down our sick dog there, and they helped to make it a beautiful goodbye. They even sent paw prints that make a great tattoo idea.

Cindy Bremner

GREAT clinic, front desk girls are lovely. And Dr Gummeson is the BEST! Definitely would recommend bringing your furry friends here! ❤

dawn forsey

Fabulous veternarians.

Debi R

Super friendly and accommodating of my dogs needs - he's scared of vets but they are always able to calm him and perform their duties!!

Mike Graham

Great care for our dog

Krysten Merriman

Excellent experience at this vet. Would definitely take my cat here again.

Brock Nanson

"Dogtor" Ken listens and explains very well. Gives you the time you need and doesn't rush you out. I have confidence in his knowledge and abilities.

Danielle Charles

Had the best experience with both Dr's at this clinic but specifically Dr Gummeson saved my dog's life. He was available any time we needed him and explained every test and every medication. Could not have been more pleased.

Doug Peters

Very caring ❤

Brittany Butt

Such friendly staff. (Even with my dog who likes to bark at everyone ☺️) you can tell everyone here really loves animals

Ronetia Branch

Great service.

Sara G

This is hands down the best vet I have been to for all 4 of my animals. 2 cats, 2 dogs. They are very accommodating, and the doctor (Diane) is incredibly down to earth and doesn't push things you don't need for your pets if you don't need them, or there are less expensive alternatives available. I have been going here for years, and have never had a poor experience at all.

Steve Peters

By far the best veterinary clinic i've been to. Diane is fantastic!

Susan Phillips

I would give a 10 star rating..care and concern for both patient and owner. Beautiful people..

Renate Junge

Good Staff did a great job whit grooming my Cat.

Theresa Eckersley

If your looking for a Vet clinic - look no further - This clinic is outstanding !

Dietmar Nothdurft

Professionals

Jamie Ushko

Dr. Campbell and the entire team at Aberdeen veterinary hospital are incredible. From the way you are greeted upon arrival, to getting your pup a checkup, the entire process is friendly, compassionate, and professional. I feel like we are very well looked after and on top of that they regularly order and have medications on hand so you aren't waiting weeks for something your dog needs right away. Above all, they make my nervous dog feel more comfortable than she's ever been in a Vet setting. Thank you team! Love, Pancake

Pat Fadenrecht

Great experience for my dog. Knowledgeable and caring staff

Danielle Rochette

I was as nervous as my kitty for meeting a new vet. Walking into the reception area we were greeted, asked our names for the appointment. They were very kind. We met with Sarah (Vet) who immediately seemed to understand my cat. Spoke and treated him as I do. This put me at ease. She was awesome, very descriptive, informative, and helpful during and after my cat's exam. She was gentle when giving him a vaccine. She answered every question we had and taught us very much. We are very happy to have brought my cat here, and will return. (My cat did have a secondary ear infection possibly from the previous case of ear mites he had, we thought the ear mites were recurring. After the course of medication prescribed by the vet, he has fully recovered. The vet did call to check up between appointments to make sure things we going well.) TLDR: Highly recommend, gentle with cats, informative, kind with people. Average pricing. Cat is better after vet diagnosed/prescribed treatment.

Sam Rossetti

Truly Amazing and professional people who were great to my puppy Bryndall

Massacre Kitten

The only place in Kamloops that has an actual veterinarian trained in dealing with cats! Don't trust that place downtown. This place is the deal deal. All the staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. I will trust this place with my current and all future pets and will recommend them for everyone else as well.

Yu Yansong

(Translated) The doctor is very caring (Original) 医生非常贴心

Pat W

Great service and my cat even likes it there. Very knowledgeable staff.

ivan adolph

Outstanding office for care and compassion for our sick pet very quick emerg. service ,very informative

Morgan McBeth

Worth my 1.5 hour drive into town! They were so kind and caring towards my dog and I really appreciated that since I had a bad experience at a previous vet! With the Covid restrictions I was concerned about not being allowed in with my dog but the moment I met one of the staff members outside I knew my fur child was in good hands! The Doctor was very informative with the results for him! Thanks again guys!

Bonnie Mobley

Aberdeen Vet is the best in Kamloops. Ken Gummeson and his staff are very caring and great people. They don't over charge like other vets.

Timothy Finlay

Excellent caring staff!!!

Jack Reid

Very friendly and professional.

Francisco Le Roy

Great place to bring your pet and the staff are always nice. Never had any issue at all.

S Mcindoe

Fantastic professional informative caring.

Debra Peters

Diana is a very good cat vet gives you lots of information

Kyle Gillich

They take great care of my dog. Been going there since he was a pup. Neutered, vaccinations, they even diagnosed panostisitis which saved me hundreds of dollars if someone else had told me to get x-rays. Excellent diagnosis.

B H

I was absolutely blown away and extremely pleased with the care that Dr. McKelvey provided for my diabetic cat. After being very disappointed from 3 other vet clinic's in Kamloops, it was so nice to find a Dr. who is Board-certified in Feline Medicine. Highly recommend!

Rhi Favali

We absolutely love this clinic for our fur baby’s. Dr. Diane McKelvey has been amazing for our cats, and she’s the only person we trust to look after them. We recently got a dog who will be coming here as well. I can’t say enough great things about this clinic and the staff. Everyone is so friendly, helpful, and gives our babies the best service.

Mike T

They take very good care of my little friend LOL awesome place

Meaghan Atchison

Highly impressed! Dr Ken Gummeson was gentle throughout the visit with my dog Boulder. The way Dr Gummeson approached Boulder helped him remain calm and accepting of treatment. He was very thorough and shared so much educational pieces on how I can continue to help Boulder. On top of all that, our bill did not break the bank. This was the best Veterinary visit Boulder and I have ever had. Dr Ken Gummeson is very professional and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend him for you and your pet!

Julie Ondang

I have known Dr. McKelvey and Dr. Gummeson for many years. They have always provided excellent medical and surgical treatment for my pets. They explain any concerns very well and are both fantastic teachers! The hospital staff are friendly and very helpful. I trust everyone at Aberdeen Veterinary Hospital to care for my furry ones.

Kathy Baethke

Helpful, courteous and caring.

Cindy Burroughs

Best vet in kamloops

Jennifer MacDonald

We moved to Kamloops almost 2 years ago with a dog and cat and Aberdeen Vet was highly recommended to us. The vet Diane is so caring and compassionate towards both of our animals. Our cat has very high anxiety and it was important we find a vet who knew how to examine her and handle her in the least stressful way and Diane is fantastic with this. Our cat became quite unruly at the vet today, knocking the keyboard and computer mouse off the counter and creating quite a ruckus, Diane was able to calm her down, pick her up and do a full exam. I apologize to the computer mouse which took quite a beating. All the staff are friendly and love animals. Highly recommended.

Dawn-Amber Kennedy

The staff at Aberdeen Vet Hospital offer wonderful, compassionate service. When I had to take my pet rat in to be put to sleep, they treated both me and my pet with dignity and caring. They treated Bob like the beloved pet he was and sent him off very peacefully. They've earned my business as long as I'm in Kamloops.

Liv Bowser

They are affordable, and extremely courteous. One of the only day doctors and super friendly!

Shar Campbell

Very honest and trustworthy staff with my furbaby.

Cindy Valhalla

Awesome experience! You get to be in the room with you pet and the vet, not like my previous experience elsewhere! Diagnosis and treatment were successful! I highly recommend!

Louis Mallet-Paret

We are very happy with the competent and compassionate care that we get for our furry family members at Aberdeen Veterinary Hospital. We never feel rushed with our vet Sarah Colborne.

Sandra Waugh

Dr. McKelvey is wonderful vet and an even more wonderful person. She is extremely knowledgeable and truly cares. She has gone over and above for my family and I on too many occasions to count. I feel very lucky to have both Dr. McKelvey and Dr. Gummeson back in Kamloops.! Lyle, Amy, Hannah, Jennifer and all the staff are great to deal with and always welcome The Cat and I with a big smile and lots of pets (for The Cat, not me)!! I recommend Aberdeen Vet without any hesitation.

Steven Hurst

Awesome service ..excellent care of all my pets

Katherina Gountas

Dr McKelvey and the team are amazing! I have one cat with chronic issues and one who’s had a few surprise issues pop up recently, with both she’s always been very caring, thorough, and informative so that I could make the best decisions for my pets’ treatments. During every visit I’ve been greeted with smiling faces and a friendly atmosphere, I feel very confident trusting my furbabies with this team.

Samantha Boulton

Dr. Gummerson is one of the best!! Very kind and caring!

Scott Mackenzie

We brought in our lab who was in distress on a emergency visit. All of the staff and the vet were excellent with her they took the time to help settle her and me as well they aren't our regular vet but they are now. The prices for testing and other things offered are fair the environment is clean and welcoming. Even though the results were not what anyone wanted to hear they still came up with a plan going forward. They did not do any unnecessary things and worked with in my budget. I would highly recommend this vet clinic to anyone. I gave them five stars because they earned it. Thank you Aberdeen veterinary clinic from the Mackenzie's.

julie finlay

Friendly informative staff ????

Braeden Millar

came in after hours for an emergency while on vacation in Kamloops when our dog was attacked. dr campbell and the tech who was in that evening with her both went above and beyond to make us and our little senior dog feel comfortable in an otherwise traumatic situation. Everyone is home and happy now after surgery. Thank you so soooo much!

Lisa Ross

Aberdeen Vet is THE BEST, hands down! You know it's time to switch vets when your more stressed going to the vet, then the darn cat is! They completely blew my expectations out of this world. The last vet wanted to pull all of my cats teeth quoting thousands of dollars. And no lab tests before surgery only during surgery. (We figure he is about 16 years old. I didn’t know much about his health records.) Aberdeen agreed and let me get lab tests before surgery. They day of the surgery, they were fabulous! They were so good with him. I’m NOT a trusting person however, I do trust Aberdeen Vet. I get compliments ALL the time on how awesome my cat looks. And that is completely due to Aberdeen’s Vet care/treatment/honesty. I got a puppy recently. So naturally, I’d give Aberdeen vet a call. Again, they blew my expectations. They showed me how to hold her to get her ready in-case they ever have to do blood work. (We very much appreciated that tip.) They were VERY careful & picky about what flea & tick medicine to give her. They only wanted to give her something that wasn’t harmful, and proven safe for her age. I will never be able to express how thankful I am for the team and the care they give. Thank you!

john or peggy spruce

Nice people who care.

Shirlee Browett

Wonderful with pets & owners.Shirlee

Arlo ACD

Aberdeen Vet Hospital is an amazing experience every time! We’ve made quite a few visits to this office and each time have been treated with so much compassion and patience. Arlo the cattle dog is extremely high energy and easily overstimulated, but the staff and doctors always take extra time with him to ensure he is getting the best care.

Nancy Hexemer

Dr McKelvey is the very best cat vet!

Brittony Lang

We saw Dr Colburn (might be spelling that wrong) for an emergency with our dog and she was fantastic. Definitely will be going back.

Teresa Hughes

We normally go to another Vet but had an emergency with our 13 yr old Jack Russel having trouble breathing and they were the on call vet so we took our boy there- they were so helpful over the last months of his life, they were understanding and worked around our budget. When our dog couldn’t make it anymore I called our regular vet to help with euthanasia and They upset me with extra fees and questions and no empathy and so I hung up and Called Aberdeen Vet and they were so nice and fit us in right away. Our boy actually died pulling into their parking lot and we didn’t need their assistance but they were so caring and empathetic and they even sent as a sympathy card after. When the time comes for another puppy - we will definitely be back. Thank you.

Deli Frechette

Very friendly and efficient. Staff are wonderful to the animals

desiree ursulak

Took our precious little baby here today and it was one of the best experiences we’ve had! They were great with him, he was so calm and didn’t even notice his shots were being done! Afterwards he had a small reaction and they set us up with medication right away to make him feel better! Will DEFINITELY be back.

Marilynn Mitchell

Aberdeen Veterinary Hospital is the best! We have complete confidence that our pets get the best care possible when in the care of Dr. McKelvey, Dr. Gummeson and their staff. We highly recommend this veterinary hospital!
