Fantastic experience: Everyone is super lovely and my kitten had a great first appointment. They send out more promo emails than I've ever gotten from a vet, and many of these are repeatedly encouraging clients to leave reviews, which is annoying. It's a nice clinic - small, clean, professional. Happy to have found good vets so close to home.

Fantastic experience: Such a lovely clinic. Every single person we interacted with was so amazing. Everyone is so caring and you can tell they genuinely love what they do. Even before our first appointment, the front desk employees were incredibly helpful with getting our files opened and answering questions we had. Dr. Namazi has such a calming presence which was so great as vet visits are usually a big cause of stress. He took the time to explain everything to us and ensure he had a detailed understanding of our cat’s history. He called the next day with blood test results and counselled us through next steps. Overall, we’re so grateful to have found an amazing Dr. and clinic in our neighbourhood.

Fantastic experience: Doctor Alan is an exceptional veterinarian who truly cares about both pets and their owners. From the very first visit, it was clear that my pet was in thoughtful, capable hands. His diagnosis and prognosis were thorough, clear, and gave me real confidence during a stressful time. Just as important, the staff were incredibly kind, patient, and compassionate, making the entire experience much easier for both me and my pet. I’m deeply grateful for the level of care, professionalism, and genuine empathy shown by everyone at the clinic. Highly recommended.

Very friendly and caring staff, and well organized clinic which gives you and your pet a stress free visit to a vet.

Fantastic experience: We've always had great results with Dr. Alan. My dog Sophie is very sensitive, and we've seen many vets. but none match Dr. Alan’s patience, skill, and care.

Danita Adams Posted on Google 4 months ago

Fantastic experience: I was greeted by a staff member who directed me into an examination room. Angel came in and sat with us and asked me to describe in detail what the problem was with my cat, all the while treating me with compassion. Then Dr. Namazi came in to see her and he took his time examining her while he spoke to me. He didn’t push for bloodwork and a whole bunch of tests which I greatly appreciated because my cat is a very senior cat. He did suggest a medication to soothe her arthritis pain but didn’t push at that time. He merely gave me an information pamphlet and encouraged me to research it. Of all the vets my cat has seen over the years Dr. Namazi is my favourite, he is personable, calm, knowledgeable and respectful. You can tell he has a very deep love of animals.

Thank you Danita for your kind words! It's always our priority to care for the patients and at the same time to help our clients any way we can. We will definitely pass on your message to Dr. Namazi and Angel!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to Vancouver Downtown Pet Hospital for a while just to buy food, but recently I had to bring my cat in urgently without an appointment because our regular vet is far and traffic was bad. They kindly accepted us right away, treated my cat with so much care, and did an excellent job with his injection. The staff were amazing. they even recognized my cat by name, came to pet him, and helped him feel loved and calm even though he is usually very nervous. Although this isn’t our regular clinic, I had such a great experience that I will definitely come here for any urgent visits or smaller treatments. They are professional, kind, and truly trustworthy.

Trish Maisonville Posted on Google 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: I just love my new vet clinic! I've had 3 occasions to go there in the last 2 weeks (Onyx is fine now) so I think I've met everyone. From reception (phone and in person), through intake and treatment - I found myself wondering where they managed to find such consistently kind, efficient, animal adoring team members. They all acted like they'd never an animal as sweet/cute/perfect as mine - a lovely a thought but I suspect they make every Patients' Human feel that way. Each visit involved a thorough exam, detailed explanation of everything that was happening and very helpful recommendations for go-forward pet care. At the same time, they're careful not to over-treat, with unnecessary tests etc. Even the physical space itself is immaculate. Being open 7 days/week is SO great and they're fully equipped for most emergencies. I stopped in with my new dog because they're nearby and all I needed were vaccines, I'm thrilled this is my neighbourhood vet.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Trish! We are glad that you had positive experience when you were here! It was also our pleasure to see Onxy--she was just so cute and had such a great personality even though she has been through a lot. Thank you again!

Fantastic experience: This is by far one of the best vets I’ve been to, Dr.Namazi was so caring for my dogs health. I’ve been to many vets and most of them didn’t care for my dogs health as much as this doctor did. He went through the steps throughly and went over my dogs scans and blood work from my other vets. My dog went in for pancreatitis and I was so worried and immediately did iv drip. I’ve never been so thankful for the love and care from this hospital! Max thanks you all for the love and care throughout his hospital stay!

Rob Mykell Posted on Google 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: We have been taking our fur babies to Dr. Alan since December 2021 and couldn’t be happier with the treatment and professionalism that we receive. After Baya giving birth to 12 healthy puppies she required life saving surgery. It was a Friday afternoon 5:00 pm (one hour before closing). The surgery had to be done immediately to try and save her life. Dr. Alan and assistant stayed the entire night and performed the operation. Final outcome, Baya is a brand new healthy dog.❤️❤️. The dedication and care for our pet was clearly the sign of a vet that cares about your pets. The VDPH is probably the best Vet we have ever encountered in a long history of having pets. Highly recommended that you entrust the care of your pets with Dr. Alan and his very competent staff. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ This was our first visit to see Dr. Namazi. We were extremely impressed with the care and attention given, especially on such short notice. Everything was explained in terms that we could understand. Highly recommend Vancouver Downtown Pet Hospital. The staff are very welcoming as well. So happy that we switched vets and now use the Vancouver Downtown Pet Hospital. The care of our fur baby has been top notch. Highly recommend Dr. Alan Namazi for your pets care.

Fantastic experience: This was my first time bringing my new cat into this vet. Dr Alan was absolutely amazing and could not have been kinder to her. She was showing signs of stress and pain, and he would not do anything to further this, he only had concern for her well being. Dr Alan was very thorough with next steps and thoroughly making sure to do what was best for the cat. I wish I could give a higher rating.

Fantastic experience: Dr Allen Namazi is an extremely professional and well-seasoned veterinarian. He was very gentle with our eight weeks old kitten and clearly knows his stuff, answering all our questions and concerns. He makes us feel very reassured during our visits! Not to mention the other staff are absolutely lovely, helpful, and clearly have a caring passion for the profession. I don’t think there’s a better veterinarian (and clinic!) for us and our two beautiful cats. Highly recommend! 10/10.

Emily Bishop Posted on Google 8 months ago

Negative experience: Please sort reviews via lowest rating. We wish we had. We have now seen both of the male vets (maybe there are more?). While the desk staff are truly wonderful, we don't have much positive things to say about the vets. Found them both to be condescending and on our last visit the vet clearly had no idea what was wrong. We went somewhere else for a diagnosis, and are thankful we did.

"Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback, though we are deeply concerned to read your review.
For the sake of clarity and accuracy for our clients, we must address a significant inaccuracy in your post. Our clinic only has one male veterinarian on our team. Therefore, it is factually impossible for you to have been seen by 'both of the male vets' as you claim. This confirms to us that this review is not for our practice and is either a case of mistaken identity or is unfortunately false.
We take all feedback seriously, but we must also firmly reject baseless accusations that do not reflect our practice, our dedicated veterinarian, or the high standard of care we provide. Our team, including our veterinarians, is consistently praised for their compassionate and expert approach.
We are proud of our team and the excellent care they provide. We invite anyone reading this to look at the vast majority of our reviews, which accurately reflect the genuine client experience at our clinic."

Fantastic experience: I wasn’t happy with the previous vet clinic so took my cat here for a checkup due to the great reviews and wasn’t left disappointed. Dr Alan was super kind, knowledgeable and thorough. The staff there is also very lovely and helpful with answering all my questions prior to booking an appointment with them. Will definitely come back for future visits. Highly recommend!

Negative experience: We sent our dog here for a surgery for a mere broken bone, when we got the call at 5 pm, they said our dog is on the brink of death, and we have to go to the emergency room. When we reached the emergency room in a hurry, the vets there stated that our dog has a slim chance of surviving. The vet there stated it was likely a cause of anesthesia overdose which resulted in a cardiac arrest. After spending several thousand dollars, we finally rescued our dog. Our dog came in here lively, ended up almost facing death. Wouldn’t recommend.

Dear Ms.Chen,
We have carefully checked our patient and client records and can confirm that neither you nor your pet have ever visited our hospital for any procedure. We are concerned that this review contains false information, as the events described do not match our medical protocols, patient care standards, or any case in our records.
Our hospital operates with strict anesthesia safety guidelines, advanced monitoring equipment, and an experienced surgical team. We take the health and safety of every animal extremely seriously, and we document every step of care.
We strongly discourage the posting of misleading or fabricated reviews, as they can cause unnecessary concern for pet owners and unfairly damage the reputation of veterinary professionals who dedicate their lives to animal care.
If you believe there has been a genuine misunderstanding or a case of mistaken identity, we invite you to contact us directly at [email protected] , so we can investigate and clarify the matter.

Thank you,
Vancouver Downtown Pet Hospital

Negative experience: This place just charged me $460 to stick a needle in a fatty cyst. Told them I just want the needle aspiration and not an exam, what do they do? Charge $110 for the vet to use a stethoscope to listen to my dogs heart when I came for a cyst. I'm beyond pissed.

Vancouver Downtown Pet Hospital
Vancouver Downtown Pet Hospital

Dear Marina,

We’re truly sorry to hear about your frustration with Olive’s recent visit. Our goal is always to provide transparent, compassionate care, and we regret that your experience fell short of that.
To ensure the safety and accuracy of any procedure—including a fine-needle aspirate—our veterinarians must first perform a general exam. This allows us to assess your pet’s overall health before proceeding, as even minor interventions can carry risks if underlying conditions are present. While we understand you were focused solely on the cyst, this step is a medical necessity to protect your pet and provide reliable results.
The pathology testing was performed to rule out cancer or infection, as visual assessment alone cannot confirm the nature of a lump. We strive to discuss costs and options clearly upfront, and we apologize if this wasn’t communicated effectively during your visit. Your trust is important to us, and we’d welcome the opportunity to discuss your concerns further—please feel free to contact us directly by phone or email.
We appreciate your feedback and will use it to improve our communication moving forward.

Fantastic experience: They are by far the best vets I've gone to. My dog had to get a toenail removed she went in shaking and scared, but they gave her so much love during the procedure she came out happy and not wanting to leave. There prices are very reasonable and they were fast and efficient, no long wait times and very professional and kind. They will be my go to vet clinic moving forward!

Fantastic experience: The clinic staff are lovely and care deeply for their furry and human clients.

If you're looking for an exceptional vet, look no further!

selina loum Posted on Google 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: I really appreciate Dr. Namazi work—he was honest, compassionate, and took the time to reassure us that our fur baby was okay. I went to him for a second opinion after a difficult experience with our previous vet, who seemed more focused on profit than care. Dr. Namazi truly made a difference during a tough time

Fengkai Wang Posted on Google 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: Dr. Jessica was incredibly patient and professional during my Shiba Inu Hanhan’s check-up. She took the time to explain everything clearly and made both of us feel at ease. Hanhan has seasonal interdigital dermatitis, and the cleansing solution she recommended has really helped with his paw recovery. We’re very grateful for her care and expertise. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: The VDPH team is always friendly and professional! Dr. Alan is super knowledgeable and takes his time to thoroughly examine our dog and explain everything in a way that’s easy to understand. We’ve been to several clinics around Vancouver, but VDPH really stands out with their excellent care, clear communication, and consistent follow-up. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and attentive vet.

Sunny Park Posted on Google 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: We have been here since we moved to downtown in 2023. All doctors and staff are very caring, knowledgeable and kind. Even if we don't have any appointments, my dog wants to go in and say hi to them while we walk by which is really good for him so that he has a good memories and experiences to go there! I highly recommend this vet if you are looking for someone who really cares about your pet with reasonable vet price and no over-assessment. The picture is my dog in a waiting room

Elaine Martin Posted on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend this vet clinic. Everybody there is just so friendly and they truly care about your pet. They took their time to do everything right, and for the first time, my cat wasn't a total psycho during her exam. Genuinely happy and impress with their service.

Carrie Willekes Posted on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I recently transferred the care of my furry family to the Vancouver Downtown Pet Hospital and am glad that I did. Conveniently located for me and offers the personalized care that I was looking for (with a bit of a small town feel). I am so pleased with Dr Jessica R who is fantastic with my pets. She has an excellent bedside manner and takes the time to understand the issue, explain, and offers a variety of treatment options. She is knowledgeable, non judgmental, never rushed, and works with you to provide amazing and quality care in a way that is affordable and sustainable. The front desk is friendly and efficient which I also appreciate. I highly recommend!

Ann Harris Posted on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: All the staff were very friendly and very gentle with our cat. The vet took his time doing a thorough examination, answered our questions fully, and also gave us some weight management tips and advice. We are very happy with the level of service and care provided.

April Dutcher Posted on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: We saw Dr. Namazi again for our 13-month-old Bernedoodle and, again, I was really pleased with the attention to detail we received from Dr. Namazi as well as the girls in the front office. The staff are so warm and friendly and Angel is very knowledgeable and helpful, making us feel comfortable throughout the visit. Dr. Namazi was really patient and kind to our nervous and high strung puppy and she soon settled down with his calm demeanor. In fact, she tried to jump back onto the examination table after the exam was finished, proving she was very much at ease toward the end of the visit. Dr. Namazi gave us the diagnosis and provided the medication and samples of the food she needed to help with her digestion and ear infection.

Dear April,
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a kind review, we're happy to hear that you are comfortable with leaving Mishka in Dr. Namazi's care! It's always so lovely to see you all, Mishka is such a sweet heart and it's a joy to see her bound into the hospital every time :)

Jatsiri Negrete Posted on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: We've been working with this clinic to help our dog Kira with her reactivity and anxiety, and I can't recommend them enough. Dr. Jessica Robinson has been incredibly compassionate, knowledgeable, and thorough in guiding us through a difficult and emotional process. She provided clear recommendations, helpful resources, and genuine support every step of the way. It’s rare to find a vet who truly listens and cares—thank you for helping us give Kira the support she needs.

Carolina Berbel Posted on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I took my beautiful Afrika to the vet because she was losing weight very fast and eating less. Unfortunately she was in stage 4 renal failure and although we tried to recover her kidneys it was no longer possible. She passed away a few weeks later, but, I can not thank enough how they behaved with her, Dr Alan, Dr Jessica, the technicians (I do not remember their names but they were all beautiful people, mention the Chilean girl who had a mini connection with my cat, since I brought her from Chile). The day I made the decision to put her to sleep was very special. They made everything perfect, with a lot of love, empathy and dedication. They printed her paw on a beautiful postcard and gave me her ashes in a beautiful urn and now Afrika my faithful companion for 11 years rests near me. Thanks to you, you made my mourning a little bit better.

Conor Shaw Posted on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I'm very happy with Vancouver Downtown Pet Hospital. I have had my pets in many of the clinics around Vancouver over the years and VDPH is just great with attentive staff who remember my and my dogs name every time they see us. I would never go anywhere else now that I have found them.

Maryam Taj Pour Posted on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Dr. Alan is an amazing veterinarian, and we absolutely love him! He has been taking care of our beloved cat, Luna, and we couldn’t be happier with his care. He is incredibly patient, kind, and always takes the time to thoroughly examine and address every concern. His diagnoses have always been accurate, and we fully trust his expertise. Not only is he professional and knowledgeable, but he also genuinely cares about his patients, which makes every visit a positive experience. We feel so comfortable and reassured knowing that Luna is in such good hands. Highly recommend!

arash ataei Posted on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: We are so grateful to have Dr. Alan as Luna’s veterinarian. Not only is he incredibly knowledgeable and skilled in his profession, but he is also one of the kindest and most patient doctors we’ve ever met. He takes the time to explain everything thoroughly, never rushes through appointments, and truly cares about his patients. He always listens to our questions and answers them with so much patience and detail. We really appreciate the time and care he gives to Luna, and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for an amazing vet!

Alejandro García Posted on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: “Dr. Jessica provided exceptional care to Ginger and Luca, undoubtedly ranking among the finest veterinarians we've encountered. Her patience and genuine affection toward my dogs are truly remarkable. This was an outstanding 10-out-of-10 experience."

Adela Baborova Posted on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I've recently switched vets to VDPH and never looking back. Dr Alan and his whole team are always so kind to my elderly cat and myself, but most importantly they discuss everything with you in detail. They always take the time to patiently answer any of my questions - provide possible causes of the issue, prognosis, and tests that we could do - and I stress "could" because they don't just force you into doing all the tests all that once. They prioritize them, share all the costs and benefits of each one, give you options, and then proceed with follow ups if necessary. My cat has been losing weight for over two years and all I got from my previous vet was "he's getting old". Thanks to Dr Alan we're now on meds (please note his immediate prognosis and medication were spot on) and for the first time in ages he's gaining some weight. <3 *also I've never gotten cancelled on or had trouble booking in

An Son Posted on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience here. The staff were able to see me short notice and Dr Namazi was great. He took the time to explain not only the issues I brought my dog there for, but some other concerns he had after doing an examination. Dr Namazi and the whole veterinary team were supportive and understanding that i did not have pet insurance and worked with me to find the most cost effective solutions for my dog's ailments. Very professional and polite team. Thank you for your help.

Fantastic experience: I brought my cat to Vancouver Downtown Pet Hospital for a lump on his tail, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the care we received. Dr. Jessica and her team were friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything thoroughly. They were gentle with my cat, and they made sure we understood all our options to heal my boy. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for compassionate, professional care for their pets, Wish us luck with the surgery. My nerves are raw, yet my hopes are high.

mina mazani Posted on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I have been taking my dog, Shazdeh, to VDPH for some time now, and I couldn’t be happier with the care and service we’ve received. The entire staff is incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and professional. They truly go above and beyond to make sure Shazdeh feels comfortable and cared for. Dr. Namazi takes the time to explain everything thoroughly, whether it's a routine check-up, vaccination, or addressing any health concerns. I always leave with a clear understanding of Shazdeh's health and the next steps. What stands out most is their genuine love for animals – it’s evident in every interaction. The clinic is clean, well-organized, and equipped with modern facilities, which gives me even more confidence in their ability to provide top-notch care. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone looking for compassionate and skilled care for their pets. Thank you guys!

Fantastic experience: I feel incredibly lucky to have found Vancouver Downtown Pet Hospital. Absolutely every single staff member my little guy and I encountered was so incredibly kind, warm, welcoming and caring. From the moment we stepped in, to the phone call later that day to check up on him, everything was above and beyond. Dr. Namazi took great care and was so kind, patient and informative. He explained everything so thoroughly, did not rush anything and had such a kindness to him. I feel very safe and confident in continuing my dogs care with them now and in the future. I appreciated how fast it was to have the x rays and blood work done and results given in less than 30 minutes. Cost is incredibly reasonable as well. Thank you everyone at Vancouver Downtown Pet Hospital! You are incredible at what you do!

J F Posted on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Super nice and accommodating. Clean office, the Doctor is kind and thorough. A little pricey but most vets are, that’s my only negative thought. I’m super picky with Vets being scammed in the past so Vancouver Downtown Pet Hospital is on my trust list. Go see them.

stephen lu Posted on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Caleb (miniature schnauzer) is really happy with his care he recieves @ Vancouver downtown pet hospital. Whenever he walks by the front door during closing hours, he would go and sit at the front door and look into the clinic for a little bit and then resume his walk.

Janice Weigel Posted on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Thank you to all the staff and Dr Namazi for your care of my whippet! What I appreciate most was your friendliness, follow up phone calls which made me not feel alone on this health journey and I was most impressed with Dr Namazi who came out into the reception area to speak with me and genuinely was interested in my pups care! My hope is for great success to the team. Please stay true to who you are now! Thank you again! I would highly recommend you to any of my doggo friends!

Cate Hughes Posted on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Our 11 month old italian greyhound sliced his toe open and we needed an emergency appointment. We hadn't been to this vet before, however VDPH were able to get us an appointment 45 minutes later to get it looked at. The reception staff were all so kind, attentive and accommodating, and Dr Jay Bridges was able to ease our usually very nervous boy. We had such a positive experience here and would highly recommend them. We even got a call this morning from the team, checking in to see how our boy was healing. Thank you for turning our traumatic moment into a positive experience :)

nick sinkewicz Posted on Google 1 year ago

Jennifer Cook Posted on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Dr. Namazi is an amazing doctor. He knows his stuff and is skilled. He cares about your bond with your pet. The staff at the clinic are the most kind and compassionate, always making me feel good despite the circumstances. Thank you so much Dr. Namazi for caring for me and my pets.

Anne Mann Posted on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Such a great experience. The whole staff is always friendly and caring. Dr Namazi is so kind. I first came in with our previous dog was aging and had arthritis, the vet was so helpful and knowledgeable and listened to my concerns. We have a new rescued terrier mix and Stitch loves Dr. Namazi. Stitch is a bit scared and wary of people at first and Dr. Namazi approaches him with upmost care and keeps him at ease. Most importantly, I never feel that the clinic is giving me advice and treatment plan that my dog doesn’t need, that is so important for us.

Fantastic experience: Update: It's been about one year since we've started coming to VDPH. Dr. Alan and his staff are absolutely top notch. Very friendly and kind to both animals and humans. My dog underwent neutering here and both the surgery and the recovery went great. Additionally, my dog has experienced food allergies but Dr. Alan has always assessed and provided solutions for us. He's never been wrong about a diagnosis and all his recommendations have helped. Overall, very happy with the service and products offered!

Fantastic experience: My senior dog Nina is visiting me in Canada, and unexpectedly got sick. I was so anxious and scared as I didn’t have previous experience with vet care in Vancouver. All my friends with pets recommended VDPH and I couldn’t be happier to have found them! She got better almost immediately with the treatment they gave her. I brought her for her boosters a few weeks later and was equally happy with the thoroughness and care with which they treated her!

Appointment is best - but we did do a walk with with my sons dog and again the Doctor was wonderful. Very friendly and VERY knowledge without adding “extras” all the time. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: All the staff here, including the receptionists and veterinarians, are all very kind and reassuring. Although my English is not perfect, I always appreciate how everyone takes the time to explain things clearly and patiently. While some vets may recommend various treatments and procedures primarily to increase their sales, Downtown Pet Hospital offers different options and leaves the final decision to us. This approach is one of the reasons I feel comfortable visiting here:)

Fantastic experience: All the workers are professionals as doctors and know how to communicate with animals in their language. We were there with two cats and were very pleased with the visit.

alex Posted on Google 1 year ago

Negative experience: The clinic has badly burned our cat during spaying with a heating pad. If you care about your pets, avoid this clinic or risk exposing them to the negligence of the people here. We brought our kitten here for spaying, and after picking Luna up, we noticed sensitivity on her side, which we initially attributed to recovery after the surgery. However, when the pain didn’t improve over time and areas of hardened skin resembling a crust began to develop, we brought her back to Dr. Namazi for a check-up. He not only FAILED TO IDENTIFY THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG, but also got seemingly frustrated that we even suspected something might have happened to her during the spaying. He determined the cat was totally fine and waved us home. Utterly disappointed with the visit, we went straight to another clinic. Well, a doctor there identified a burn on her side, the healing of which took a considerable amount of time. After examining the burn more closely, the hypothesis we were told was that she had come into contact with something hot enough for long enough to leave such a significant burn. This absolutely could not have happened at home (how would she tolerate such heat?), and the only way it would have been possible is during anesthesia after the spaying.

Alice Won 74 Posted on Google 1 year ago
