I brought my baby to be spade last Friday at this clinic. The staff are amazing!! They are kind and considerate. They are careful to not only explain what your pet will be going thru, but also what your costs are. This vet is also reasonably priced, and available for any questions or concerns. My Maggie will be going to this Veterinarian every time????

Dr Sharma is always very helpful and professional. I appreciate that when we have emergency situations they always find a spot for an appointment, and the long hours and being open on weekends really helps when you need something right away. We also had some very kind end of life care for our beloved dog, the kind and gentle approach of all the staff was greatly appreciated.

“If you find it in your heart to care for somebody else, you will have succeeded.” #MayaAngelou This perfectly describes the care, attention and love provided by 48th Avenue Animal Hospital for our sweet 8 week old puppy Nala. We are truly grateful for the entire team supporting us and Nala thru such a challenging time. We highly recommend bringing your beloved pets here for their care.

Good overall. But I don’t agree with not being able to be in the appointment with the vet and our dog.

I want to say, you guys are so caring and loving with my Bear, so everyone else knows, she has no eyes (due to eye disease) her disability is always taken into consideration when we are there for nail trims, check ups, tests and treatments. She is an old girl with many health issues, we really appreciation the amazing care you give her. Thank you.

Our 7yr old lab ended up at the FV emergency vet after several days of vomiting and restlessness. Follow up X-rays we’re needed 8hrs after the emergency to be sure no be blockage. I called our vet of 7 yrs when they opened only to be told they were too busy and I should go back to emergency (45-60 min away) to have the follow up X-ray. I had heard about 48th avenue from friends, so I called them and explained the situation. They understood the seriousness of the situation and managed to get me in that day despite being extremely busy. Needless to say, I immediately transferred all our dogs records over to 48th avenue animal clinic and I am so happy we did. The care and compassion my dog received was outstanding.

I took my dog to this vet for a bladder infection. First, the vet was late 30 min to the appt and kept my dog for X-rays that he said would take 1 hour for over 2 hours. You can tell there taking more appts than they can handle. Second, my dog is 13 years old and has had bladder infections 3 other times which I told the vet. The vet indicated we should do a urinalysis, culture text and X-ray and meanwhile start her on antibiotics. I asked him twice can we just do the urinalysis and if that comes back negative do the X-ray and he kept saying I would Not recommend it. He said if we don’t do it all at once, later we might have to change the course of treatment. I really felt pressured to do the X-ray, came out spending almost $600. The x-rays were done in the office and the results were immediate - which did not show anything. The other tests had to be sent away and 5 days later got the results which confirmed bladder infection. I’m actually not even sure why we had to do a culture test because my other vet never did them just just urine test. When he called to give me the results, he said because of the type of infection we should give her 10 more days of antibiotics and do another urine and culture test once done, this is after me telling him she’s already doing better. He saiid his recommending this because this type of infection is usually difficult to deal with. How about we wait and see if it’s necessary for my dog?!? I just didn’t get a good feeling of this vet and won’t be back. He was very pushy and overall I think work was done that could have waited or not really necessary. Sent from my iPhone

Took our big boy Wobbly for a cleanup and haircut. He’s a bit of a nasty kitty but this didn’t phase to kind and caring staff at the clinic at all. First class care by people who love animals. Couldn’t ask for more.

We first visited 48th avenue after our 8 week old puppy started vomiting. Although we were satisfied with the service from our former visit, we did not have a delightful experience with our second. Coming in to get our puppy's second set of vaccines, we were NOT informed about the "Vaccine Day" which the clinic offers lower prices for shots on Wednesdays. We got them done on a Sunday, and we would've appreciated PRIOR NOTICE and TRANSPARENCY about this discount, especially since vet bills can get quite expensive. We also found that the vets could've been more gentle and patient with our puppy during his injections. We felt that the process was rushed and that the doctor should've done more to calm our puppy down and build a positive association with needles for future vet visits.

I've taken my dog to see a number of vets (5+ over the years) and from my experience, this vet clinic is the best. Dr. Sharma is gentle with my dog, listens to my concerns carefully, and explains clearly. He does not ask for unnecessary tests even though he knows I have pet insurance. His staff are wonderful too! I drive 45 mins from Vancouver to Ladner to see Dr. Sharma and his staff. Really grateful to have found a good vet + team to care for my pet.

Kiki is a nervous dog, but the caring and calm manner of the vet and vet assistance puts her at ease. I feel the care she gets is always appropriate to her needs.

We have been fortunate to have been clients of 48th Avenue Animal Hospital for over 10 years. We have trusted them with our fur family of 3 dogs and 2 cats. They are fairly priced and the staff is caring and patiently listens to concerns. I would strongly recommend them to anyone I know

Dr. Sharma and his staff are extremely knowledgeable and the care of my Greyhounds has always been first class. Although with my second Greyhound adoption, care had been given by another veterinarian clinic, I chose to return to 48th Avenue for trusted and thorough service. In addition, whenever possible and whoever will listen, I happily recommend the 48th Avenue Animal Clinic for high quality care.

i had read other positive reviews about this vet, made the little extra travel from richmond (which they were so grateful for!), and i was so pleased with how friendly, helpful and informative they were. i had switched vets because of bad experiences and poor treatment at my previous vet, and that turned out to be a really great decision because my cat is doing great and i don't have anxiety about going to the vet anymore! these guys have made my vet experience such a breeze. it's always clean and welcoming here, spacious and not crammy. and the best part is that i can be in the exam room, soak up all of the information, ask the vet questions, and just it's so much less stressful for me and my cat. i used to dread vet appointments but now i'm more than happy to return for all of his check-ups. plus they pre-cut your pills for you which is so nice and convenient. i will continue to take my pets here and continue to recommend these guys! i'm grateful for the care and compassion they've given my Dean!

New to Ladner. So needed a new vet for the puppy. They were fantastic with our Gus. He is extremely hyper and with Covid making things different than normal they took him in and made me feel very comfortable. Very happy and will be continuing with them going forward.

Would highly recommend. We called on a Sunday morning to get an emergency appointment for our cat and were seen at the clinic by 12:30pm that day. Everyone at the clinic was kind, professional and responsive. Dr. Gunar was wonderful. Our cat received emergency surgery that day and was home by 5:00pm. Medication and follow-up care was provided. Happy to say that our cat is making a good recovery and we are grateful to the team at 48th Ave Animal Hospital.
