I have taken my pomchi here since he was a puppy. He is now 7 years old and have had a great experience every checkup. Definitely recommend this veterinary and it’s staff.

They did a fantastic job on my Kitty

MISTY JONES (ButterflyOwlWoman)

Dr. Kennedy is the bestest Vet, in the world. She kind caring and empathetic. She truely loves each and every "child" that a pet owner brings in and treats them as well as her own. It still breaks her heart to have to euthanize any animal. She has been our vet for well over 25 years. And no matter how far we travel - live - in the lower mainland, we always make the trip to bring our pets to her. *She has even been known to make house calls - pre-covid19*

We have been taking our family dog (s) there for over 5 years now and we have always been super happy with the customer service, care and follow-through that the team at White Rock Vet has shown. When we had to put our first dog down they were so thoughtful and caring, and when we had a new dog join the family they were thorough in making sure the puppy was healthy, even going as far to call me a week after he had been on medication to see how the dog was doing.... a human doctor barely does that any more!! Sending a big thank you to all the staff there!

This place and its staff are amazing, I have a very bossy Pitbull who has not had a very good experience at vets in the past, she is terrified of them honestly (i cant blame her with this being her third surgery). Here at White Rock Veterinary Hospital she was completely fine, pre and post surgery, she actually really liked the staff was not skiddish around any of them at all! After her surgery the Vet called (same night) just to check up on how she was feeling and to make sure she was okay after her Surgery, they had me come back the next day to take the dressing off her ear and explain her aftercare in more detail. I have never had a vet that genuinely cares about my baby like i would expect and hope them to! I recommend this vet to everybody who is able to bring their pets here, it is expensive for sure but when it comes down to it, my Dog was comfortable and happy in their care and she is healing up very nice since her surgery, she was not scarred like she has been at previous vets and her problem seems to have been properly fixed this time; so in my opinion any amount of money is worth this! I highly highly recommend this Vet to anybody who can bring their pets here, even though i dont live in White Rock anymore i will always bring my dogs here. Its like a family Dr you would not keep going to somebody you are not comfortable with and my pets are the same, I will not bring them somewhere they are not comfortable and here they are more than comfortable! Thank you White Rock Veterinary Hospital, myself and my babies entire family appreciates what you have done for her and everything you do to keep everybodies pets in good health:D

Very informative staff

Jennifer Roach

Warm and welcoming front desk staff and doctor Ross was consultative and very thorough in his explanation about how best to care for our pet.

AJ Wonder (Outdoor Adventure Kitty!)

Dr. Ruth Kennedy has been the vet for my family for over 24 years, & I cannot say high enough praises. Dr. Kennedy & staff are unbelievably kind & dedicated to your fur babies. She is never rough, you will never have your animal mishandled here. I never want to go to any other vet. I'm also PWD & on government funding & Kennedy has been so wonderful in letting me make small payments when I cannot pay the whole bill upfront, so I never have to worry if I can afford emergencies or regular check ups. My animals is her priority. A long time ago she made a house call to put down our old dog so we didn't have to stress her by bringing her to the vet. She got to pass away peacefully in her garden & we are so grateful to Dr Kennedy for doing that for us, Mandy didn't pass away upset or stressed by taking her to the vet or car ride in general. The way Dr Kennedy handles animals & their wellbeing is second to none, she is the best.

Rick Muir

Welcoming staff with extremely good follow up on treatment of pets

Pat K

We took our puppy two cats and 4 kittens in at the same time and dr Ross handled them all and him and the entire staff were very friendly and made it a positive experience for all of our animals! Very good pricing and very informative. Not pushy or looking to take my money for no reason like other vets I've been before. Also a very clean facility and huge parking lot. Highly recommended!!!

Roger Sove

Always helpful I ve been taking my pet there for 30 years

Arrielle Koopmans

We got our dog Tek in November, and finally we got him to see a Vet! The experience here was amazing and I'm so happy with the patient care they have. Everyone is upbeat and friendly. We saw Dr.Hare for Teks first shots and vet check up with us. She was friendly and super knowledgeable. Amazing with his shots Tek didn't even flinch! Happy to say we have found our dogs Vet ❤️

Eduardo delavega

Great service and very friendly personel. My cat Luna enjoyed it very much.????

Alyssa Labrosse

We have been going to White Rock Vet for over 10 years now. Dr Jessie Hare has been absolutely amazing. She is upfront and tries not to do unnecessary tests or treatments. The dogs love her and she is so kind to them. The staff are polite and the clinic space is clean.

Alyssa Allen

Amazing service

Rosemary Harris

I had my lovely bichon put down a year and a half ago. Dr. Hare and her staff were very sensitive and kind. I have a new pup and would not go anywhere else. The staff are welcoming and all the vets are amazing. Dr. Hare is top notch she even takes time to engage with the pup before doing any procedures. Clearly the animals are loved and cared about and in turn they love the office and all the people. I trust them completely.

Christy Boyce

We see Dr. Wood as our primary vet. We find him to be thoughtful, kind, and thorough but not pushing us into care we don't want. Our sweet pup was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect at 6 months. She has lived beyond all expectations and Dr. Wood is guiding us through medical management. Will continue to go here in future for all our pets.

Liza Rader

Extremely high standard of care with vets who are empathetic and informative without being patronizing. My chronically ill collie loves Dr Guldie, and her expertise has greatly improved his quality of life (and by extension mine!)

Abby

I have 8 cats and 2 dogs, vets/staffs are friendly and professional.

Adrian M

Great friendly service

Lilian Bethel

Mandy Sheppard

Great staff. Very caring. Would recommend for anyone looking for a Vet that cares ❤ Been going to them for over 20 years

Caelen R

Lovely people

Andrew Maclaren

Best experience I've had at a Vet. The staff was friendly, helpful, informative and genuinely cared about my pet . Quality of care was top notch; they even allowed me to visit everyday (4days). Costs were much lower than expected too. My 4 day bill here was almost the same for a 1 day(!) bill at another vet closeby(whom wont be named). Definitely recommend. Made a hard time much easier.

Vicki Starfire

The medical care might be good here but the prices are astronomical. On top of the $250 bill I had to pay for an overnight stay my dog wasn't any better.

Amanda S (Amanda)

Would Highly recommend this Vet Clinic to everyone. Dr. Wood and all the staff are very caring and compassionate. Going to the vet is alway worriesome but they make you feel that your pet is in the best hands. They are ver informative and the follow up is an added touch.

Michelle m

Amazing staff so good to me and my cat. So comforting for the tough choice.

Sean Kusnir

Great service, good vets, patient and calm. Five stars all day

Faye Sheldon

When we moved to the lower mainland seven years ago a friend recommended Whiterock Veterinary Clinic. We have used them sonce that time. Over the years our poochie Dexter fortunately had very good health and our appointments with them wre typically annual. However whenever we had something come up they always helped. Sadly we had to let our pooch go last week. The staff were most kind and considersate and despite it being a difficult thing to go through we feel.they gsve us the proper guidance. Thank you from our hearts❤ we know that Dexter had the best care.

DonnaLee Bugden

I have been going to the veterinary hospital for the past 10 years. They are the best!

Dave Patterson

Friendly staff and very helpful. Doctors are really nice, sympathetic and understanding to your needs. Great with the animals.

Shona Houghton

The vets are all excellent with our cats. But I am sure our cats would rather be somewhere else.

Elif Munn

Dr Wood is very knowledgeable and genuinely cares for animals

Hector

Ive been going there for 14 years, they have been awesome.

Caring staff.

Kevin Marasco

After trying three different times during covid. They still won't see my dog. I give up. I have to go elsewhere.

Christa Lewis-Watts

The doctors arenowledgeable, easy to talk to, they don't overcharge.

Irene Horvath

White Rock Veterinary Hospital is a caring competent group of veterinarians and your pet's health is always their first concern. Their hours are very accommodating and appointments are easy to book. My senior dog needs gentle handling and their techs are so gentle. They are helping to keep his last few years comfortable.

Dale Cope

Take great care of my dog.

Kai Lam

I had to put my dog to sleep a couple of months ago. Chelsea's regular vet is in Port Moody and I was in White Rock, so I sought euthanasia service from Dr. Jessie Hare on recommendation from a friend. Even though it was the first time Dr. Hare met Chelsea and myself, Dr. Hare was incredibly caring and gentle. Administrative staff was very efficient and sensitive with the situation as well. Highly recommend White Rock Vet and Dr. Hare.

Lyndsey Armstrong

We have come here since I remember they have helped with many of our pets. Currently they are helping our guy with crystals and have been absolutely wonderful at getting him in when needed, and treating him.

loraie harlin

I would only recommend this hospital if you request to see Dr. Hare. I had a terrible experience here recently with a Dr. Ross and if it hadn't been that I had seen Dr. Hare previously ,and knew how kind she was, I would never have gone back there. Trust me ,when you make an appointment ,ask that it be with Dr. Hare.You won't be disappointed.

Jen Singh

Dr Ross is awesome and.the staff super friendly.

Family feeling

Best in town

Bobbi Pelletier

I picked up my friends dog from the vet while they were out of town. The vet and the staff were very kind and took the time to explain what was done, the results of the exam, and answer all my questions. I was so impressed I'll be taking my dog to them from now on.

Leonardo Laporte

Dr. Jessie Hare is amazing. She really understands the animals on a different level, almost "physic." So compassionate, knowledgeable and thorough. She takes the time to listen to you in regards to your concerns and doesn't force blood work on you off the bat (so you can save money). She is an excellent vet, one of the best i've ever seen.

Marcel Bousema

I have been using them for 30 years. Great people!

Junyi Fan

Nov23rd - they even forgot to tell me to fest hairball for the surgery !!!!! Arrange the surgery with Dr Wood and scheduled with Dr Kennedy on Monday Nov 26 Drop off Hairball at 8:00 Got a phone call from Dr. Kennedy for request sending cell tissues to the lab for more investigation Called the hospital around 2:00 to see if early pick up is possible Picked up Hairball at 5:20 PM informed about the antibiotic medicals and the pain medications informed 14 days to recover and go back there for removing the stitches Nov 27 about 10 drops of pink discharge came out from the problem eye Called the hospital and arrange the recheck for Hairball on the night (6 or 7 PM)Dr Ross checked Hairball and told us it looks like some infection so prescribed antibiotics ( after I told him Hairball has some very bad vomiting last time after the antibiotic injection he change to oral one) Nov 28 - Dec 9 Still has pink discharge coming out but not as much as before Dec 10 Took Hairball for recheck and taking out the stithies After technician did the stithies Dr. Ross came to us for the result I asked him “why there are still some pink discharges coming out from the eye ?” He said “ after surgery this symptom is not abnormal to find” He also show me the result from lab to indicate there are cancer cells in Hairball, the lab has nailed down to two kind but not sure which cancer (A or B)for sure. However, A and B both are bad cancer which will spread to other organ I asked him “ Is that we already took his eye out? “ He suggest to spend more money to find out which cancer type (A or B) if in the future that I need to bring Hairball to see a specialist Dec 11 - Dec 13 little pink discharges Dec 14 - 17 Symptom getting worse Pink discharge turning to red blood Dec 18 1:00 Brough hairball to the hospital check Showed Dr. ross about the blood discharge photo on my phone and ask him :” How can I help Hairball?” He said “ Hairball has cancer, the blood draining from his eye is because the cancer cell . other than book me a specialist he don't know if there are anything that he can do “ I keep asking him “ He is bleeding ! There are nothing you can do ?” After repeating the answer like “he has cancer that is what cancer do to your cat “ He send me to the receptionist for the payment I asked recipients “why I need to pay for nothing has been done for treating Hairball ?” After Dr. ross come out from the room he insure me that the payment is for his time spending on me and Hairball (he haven't done any examination other than wipe the blood from his eye and telling me Hairball has cancer that he would be bleeding like this) Had a very tense conversation with him and asked him “ Why you have told me he is not abnormal at the time the stitches were removed, and now told me everything is because of the Cancer ? he haven't completely stop from the bleeding after the first day of surgery ???” 3:45 Took hairball to another animal hospital Dr gave him the full examination found out he has infection found out he has fever I am working with them to see what the next treatment I can arrange to Hairball to help him not just let him bleeding and told myself that “ It is Cancer !” Updates Dec 19 the doctor there basically did another surgery on the bleeding and infected eye. He is now recover from the surgery, even through he will getting more and more weak in the future because of the cancer than doesn't mean that he has to suffer in infection, bleeding and fever ! WRV give you the lowest care for your family and charges 3 times more than other clinic charges ! uses lowest quality of the supplies for the care ! do not go there ! If you told them you have insurance for your pet they will behaviour like a vampire !!!! Don't bring you pet friend to the money sucking demon !

Arkle Famil

Lovely team. Have been so supportive and accomodating during Covid.

Bergie Lund

Love dr. Hare. & so does my puppy.

Sara Gillingwater

Best vet around. Knowledgeable staff and very well priced. My dog usually had anxiety going to the vet, but never at this place! Will be taking all my pets here from now on. :)

Colin W.

Very friendly staff, they handled a tough situation very well

David Enns

We’ve been to other vets in south surrey and Langley. This is the best vet in town

Guy Shaddock

Dr Ross is an exceptional vet. He provides you with a very professional diagnosis and then presents you with the options. There is no pressure to make a decision other than the one you make yourself. Highly recommend!

Maureen Guerra

My family love taking the family pets there. Even mr butters loves it.

Catherine Hewson

The care from staff and Dr's has been wonderful. I have used the facility for 8+ years and have received excellent service. Would recommend!!

Sandee Towers

Amazing clinic, they are so interested in taking the best care of our fur babies. Its not about the money there...I will highly recommend going here

John van Rij

Great service. Best place to take your loved one. They have provided amazing care and support in the past 12 years. I would never go anywhere else.

Catrina Y

Just called in today, very disappointed they're not taking new patients. I wanted to bring my cat because he's been limping the past day or two and three reviews looked amazing but it's just too bad

Stephen Smith

Great place. Did great work on my dog Dr Steven wood I believe is one of the vets name great guy and Vet.

Jim Lambie

Very nice clinic. Professional staff. Dr. Kennedy has Ben my vet for three generations of dogs.

B M

Been reliable for us for years

Nelson Patricia

We thought we found a great vet but when our dog suddenly became seriously ill they were open and refused to see us for days! We rushed her there and didn’t even get her in the door as they said they were short staffed and refused to see her and the next day when I called they had said just booked there last appointment for the weekend. They do not care about the life of your pet and that is the bottom line.

Meg L

This is honestly the only vet I trust. My family has gone to Dr. Kennedy for years and she's the best. She never does unnessasary procedures or tests. My kitten was just in getting surgey and they were very reasonable in price and took such amazing care of her!!

MediaEinstein

Very impressed with clean environment, calm friendly staff and Veterinary services. Not to mention - a great location in White Rock.

Lylas Leona

We took our 12.5 year old shepherd to Grandview for a second opinion/second quote on a large growth. They were professional and decisive with their suggested plan of action. They answered all my questions and were very patient with my indecisiveness. Putting a 12.5 year old large dog through surgery has risks! They didn’t make me feel bad about weighing the risks on both sides and agreed that either way there was risk. In the end we went through with the surgery at Grandview and were extremely happy with the outcome. Both vets at the clinic (forgive me, I am terrible at remembering names) were compassionate and calming. Our pup is now 6 weeks post opp and recovering like a champ. I don’t even think the scar will be noticeable once his hair fully grows back!! We will absolutely be making Grandview our personal vet going forward. Thank you to the vets and the front desk staff!

Shanon Epp

The best Veterinary Hospital in White Rock and South Surrey area. The staff are courteous, kind, caring and knowledgeable.

Ian H.

Our family has used White Rock Veterinary Hospital since the 1960's when it was run by Dr. McDonald. The doctors and support staff are kind people that love animals. The place has a good vibe and is clean and spacious. Excellent prices and lots of parking space. I tried one of the local discount vets but never again. My dog is too important to save a few dollars over.

Peter Stahldorf

The very best of care for your pets

Chan Le

WHAT A RIP OFF PLACE. THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME TRIPPLE THE PRICE EVERY OTHER VET CHARGES. THATS A SCUMBAG THING TO DO. WOULD NOT EVER STEP FOOT IN THESE DOORS.

Bob Walters

Great care and service

Barb Tracy

Very caring

Sonnya Heinrich

Whiterock Vet's cares about your pet's health and overall needs. Friendly and reasonably priced.

katrine nielsen

Best clinic I've been to, I went through so many terrible vets before I had this place recommended to me as I prepare my pets to travel overseas. But I wish I'd found it sooner, the vets and staff are friendly and organized and above all know what they're doing. They don't push endless extra services and medications without giving you anything for the money you're already spending, and their prices are extremely reasonable considering the level of service you get.

Am F

Great care provided

Kasandra Kassidy

These “Doctors “ are the most money hungry people that I have ever met. Your pets health is not important, the money they make is a PRIORITY. They sell, sell, sell unnecessary vaccines that will actually compromise your dog ???? or cat’s immune system, so they will get sick and need a vet to “treat them”. It’s a viscous cycle and there are some amazing Vetrinarians whom questioning the over immunization of our pets. Please check out Dr Karen Becker or Dr Peter Dobias and educate yourselves on dog/Cat natural heath. Veterinary medicine is big business. Sadly, a vetrarians education is based on pharmaceuticals. The vets at this clinic are out to make a lot of $$$$$ even if that means compromising your beloved pets Heath. The prices here are also going up!

Cari Loree

I have been taking my 15 yo maltipoo here since we got him as a very young pup. All the vets and technicians show they care about my "baby" and always have patience with my concerns. I trust their advice completely.

Geekgirl

Very considerate at a very stressful yime

Sandy Short

White Rock Veterinary Hospital gives excellent care and goes up and beyond in listening to all concerns.

Lori Conyers

W.R.V. the best place to take your pet. The Vets are very experienced and caring. The staff are very professional and friendly. I have taken all my pets there and some friends pets. I recommend them 100%.

Amanda Michel

They really care, was able to bring my sick dog in right away and they called several times over the next few days to check up on her. I’ve never had a vet like that.

Bronwynne Sove

Staff are helpful and friendly.

Barrie Johnson

Always spend time to explain all options. Friendly and professional

Shindi

Seriously the best vet practice I've ever been to, I felt true compassion the way they handled my dogs final moments, they went over and above our needs, I felt the bill was respectful also, I would trust this practice with my future pets

Swin pyae Aung

It's very useful for me when I need to know any places where to go and where I have arrive now
