Atlas Animal Hospital & Emergency Vancouver

They didn't seem to like animals. The vet continually referred to my cat as it, not she. They told us we couldn't be with her when they did a minor procedure, but three minutes later called us in as she got away from them. There are no doors on the rooms, so she ran into the dog kennels, terrified. They told us to get her out, as the didn't want her jumping up into the exposed tiles and getting into the ceiling! They weren't good at communicating the process of what they weer doing.

Go To Vet

Always kind, professional and efficient. I wouldn’t trust my pets health to just anyone. This is my “go to” vet.

Only Here

Anyone looking for a caring and quality veterinarian should definitely come here. Everyone is so friendly and professional here. I wouldn’t bring my Boxer anywhere but here. They take great care of him for a very reasonable price.

THE BEST VET CARE AROUND

Our babies have been patients of Atlas Animal Hospital for many years and we have nothing bad to say about the care. We have learned over the years, however, that you DO NOT go in there at the end of the day -- guaranteed wait. The staff are caring and the veterinary care is wonderful. If there is a delay in seeing the vet, they have always been apologetic to us. It's a busy place and an appointment is NOT necessary -- so you just have to be prepared to wait. Dr. Bhullar and his team of vets are the greatest and the nursing staff is impressive, too. Thank you, Atlas Animal Hospital

Long wait

I was allowed to pick any time I wanted when I made an appointment for my cat to get her monthly injection. When I arrived for my "appointment" the woman at the front desk was assisting people in a first come, first served manner. When she talked to me, she did not know what my cat was there for, and she did not smile. I was shown to an examination room and left there to wait. After twenty minutes I could not wait any longer, so I left. I noticed all the glowing reviews on this site giving this vet 5 stars, so I thought I'd give them another try. I made a same day appointment for two hours later. Again people were served in the order that they arrived. I was disturbed that the front desk woman tried to lift my anxious 15 year old cat up by the scruff of the neck to move her to the scale. We waited for AN HOUR before being seen by a vet. I heard another woman complaining about the wait, and asking why she was told she could have this "appointment" time when the vet was so busy. The vet I saw did not smile, and did not interact with my cat other than to give her the injection. When I went to pay, the front desk woman frequently interrupted our exchange to answer the phone, talk to another employee, and even walk to the back with my credit card in hand mid-transaction. The price she tried to charge me at first was not the one I had been quoted over the phone, but the final price was significantly cheaper than my usual vet. So, if you like the idea of an inexpensive drop-in clinic for your pet where you can be seen when you want as long as you wait, then this vet might be the location for you. If your time is more valuable, or you don't want your sick/anxious pet to have to wait for an hour, and you expect that having an appointment means that you will be seen relatively close to that time, then don't waste your time.
