Cheam View Veterinary Hospital

Worst experience ever! Terrible place, dirty, unprofessional, money grabbing clinic, no compassion in the place for a dying dog. On Sunday night my 14 yr old Golden Doodle was in a breathing emergency. This clueless so called "veterinary assistant" at Cheam View wasted 45 minutes of my time pretending the dog was being cared for, when the vet wasn't even there! She took my dying dog away from me and stuffed her in a kennel. When she finally came back out she claimed the vet wanted to take x-rays on this sweet dog in stage 4 congestive heart failure. I asked to speak to the vet before this woman finally admitted he wasn't available (with a lie about him being in surgery for a hit and run that apparently happened between my call to her and the 5 minutes it took to get to that disgusting clinic). I just wanted my dog to have a peaceful passing and this clinic was only concerned with draining my wallet! They added hours to her suffering. Shameful! I ended up driving all the way to Langley at 1 in the morning to get some relief for my faithful dog. We barely made it. Thanks to the kind compassionate Vet at Boundary Bay (Dr. Mann) my sweet dog passed away peacefully in a loving, gentle environment with me at her side. DON"T go to Cheam View Veterinary Hospital! Chilliwack has good vets this is NOT one of them. Nice response... I did call before I came in and was told the vet was available. I did not swear at anyone on the phone this morning (more lies, seems like a pattern) yes I was angry and told her the clinic's actions were disgusting. It on you to make sure your staff are supported. I asked to speak to someone in charge, perhaps you should have taken the call rather then let this unprepared receptionist field my complaint. I did finally get a chance to talk with the vet this afternoon after reading the lame response to my post. After a lengthy discussion he finally took responsibility for the treatment my dog and I received last night. I hope nobody or animal is ever treated like this in the future. Taking your beloved pet in to be euthanized is hard enough.

We took our dog to this vet on December 11th because a big lump appeared in her groin and she was vomiting. We suspected it was a hernia but the vet here very confidently told us it was not. He then proceeded to ask us what she had gotten into because he thought she had a blockage. He didn't seem to believe me when I told him that she hadn't gotten into anything. He wanted to do x-rays etc of her stomach to look for a blockage. We declined because we knew she hadn't gotten into anything. Since it wasn't a hernia we had them do a cytology of the lump. They said we would get a call with the results in 48-72hrs. Well, long story short, we wound up at another vet over the weekend who immediately told us it was a hernia and that she would need emergency surgery. I wasted $275 at this vet for them to a) tell me it wasn't a hernia and b) take a sample of my dog's intestines and c) not even have the decency to call me with the results (it's been almost 3 weeks) and say that they messed up. Don't waste your time here, rather drive a bit further to a more qualified 24hr vet.

What an amazing Dr and staff! I was in total crisis after my sweet 15 year old chihuahua/Pomeranian was viciously attacked and almost killed by another dog. We were camping and from Calgary when it happened so I knew no one here. I was directed by police to this clinic and Dr. Chahal was honest and caring. He was convinced he could save my dog, so after 3 hours of intensive surgery, he made it through. A different vet would have put my dog down. The tech staff were completely involved and caring. There were so many people who told me I was in good hands here. Yes, there were wait times, but everyone was willing to wait as he was so good. Seven days later, my 15 year old best friend is healing and walking! Dr Chahal said “I can save him” and he did! Thank you so much to this clinic for allowing my little guy to keep living his life. Please…don’t give up on your dog! This clinic is awesome!

The doctor and staff at Cheam View were amazing when I brought Sally in on a Saturday evening. She had eaten some rocks while camping and was displaying all sorts of weird symptoms. I'm not from the area and I don't know which vets are good in Chilliwack/Hope. Cheap View took care of her and showed me her x-rays and explained everything to me. I would definitely use their services if in the area again! *picture of my little rock-eater for attention

Though it was one of the hardest days i have had to face, this vet and his staff showed nothing but the utmost compassion and even thanked us for doing the right thing for our blossom baby

My dog Mugsy absolutely loves visiting the vet. He can't get out of the car fast enough. Runs right for the door. He just loves the staff. Thank you Cheam View for making Mugsy comfortable when he visits.

After almost 5 years we’ve made the difficult decision to take my cat elsewhere. She started having urinary issues and problems passing bowel movements a couple years back. Initially I’ve got to say the standard care was phenomenal. She would always come back happy and healthy from a visit. Whether it be that so many people got pets during the pandemic and they’re overwhelmed, the quality of care has seriously deteriorated. Vet is increasingly uncommunicative, doesn’t give you instructions for how to make your pet healthy in the long run. Provides “solutions” that are just bandages. Getting hefty bills with no explanation of what treatments are happening, and when you call or ask - one worded answers. Took her to another vet this week, found out she had a past dental infection that was in her records from this place that the vet NEVER told us about. I took her for a literally dental exam and they said everything’s good. But the records show otherwise. She’s also severely dehydrated and has colon issues. I’ve shocked and disappointed that this could even happen. Vets have an onus to speak on behalf of our beloved pets and I swear she would have died under the care of this place. If I could give zero stars you bet I would.

Excellent vet office. They are always accommodating and you can tell they really care about your animal. We've had experiences from in office nail trimmings to at home euthanasia and have nothing but positive to say. I rated 4 stars simply because you do always need to expect a wait in the office... This of course because they are a popular and we'll trusted vet clinic.
