Testimonials

  • When my dog had ear issues, Hemlock Animal Hospital gave us an appointment within a couple hours of calling. Helped my dog and provided me with all the information I needed. Great service & genuinely love animals!

  • When kitten got a hold of and swallowed elastic like string that was wrapped around a roast,I called two emergency vet services before I thought I'd try Hemlock.They had already closed an hour prior to me calling but Dr Harry answered phone anyway.When I explained what had happened,he agreed this was a time sensitive matter and had to be dealt with before that string passed into her intestines.He made a special trip to the clinic just to help my Navi, and he did not leave until he was positive s

  • Dr. Harry is calm, informative, and is definitely experienced. He treats both my dog and me with respect and helps us in the best and worst of times.

    - Lana Lepper
  • I strongly feel that Hemlock is one of the best Vet clinics in the lower mainland. The staff have always been very professional, and the clinic very clean (this is not the case in many other vet clinics).

    - Jean Chua/Michelle Stoetzel
  • Each time I bring Winston for a service, I know he will be looked after well, which is my primary concern.

    - Rae Graham
  • The clinc brings together the correct balance of professional approach with warmth, caring and empathy. I find this from the assistants that greet you as well as the husband and wife vet team that focus on ensuring needs are met. Pricing very fair.

    - Laurence Beatch
  • Been a pet owner for 27 years. Best care I have experienced thus far. More importantly a strong feeling of trust that the veterinarian established on our initial visit helped following direction more so.

    - Heather O'Brien
  • Dr. Harry and his staff have always been very welcoming and comforting to me and my two dogs Mickey and Tess but most of all knowledgeable when it comes to the care and treatment of Mickey and Tess. I was first attracted to Hemlock Animal Hospital by their extremely reasonable prices but then kept going back because they provided me with the confidence of knowing my dogs would always get the best of care when in the hands of Dr. Harry and his staff. I am so pleased with Dr. Harry’s extremely r

  • We felt very welcomed as soon as we came in. Going through the adoption process and finding the perfect kitty to fit our family was made comfortable and exciting. Thank you.

    - Heather O'Brien
  • Hemlock Animal Hospital has generously donated their time to assist me with rescue animals needing medical treatment. They have always been kind, courteous, and generous to me in every aspect of my dealings with them. Their selflessness in helping homeless animals receive much needed medical treatment at a discounted rate goes above and beyond the call of duty, and I applaud them for their effort in giving back to the community. Bravo to Dr. Harry and his staff for being wonderful and caring hum
