Comment: Dr. Dear was the first veternarian that Oby visited because it was just near to our home. However, after visiting some other veterinarians,, it seems like the prices are a bit high for some of the services compared to others I listed below. But overall, he is a very good veterinarain.

VANCOUVER, BC
Atlas Animal Hospital Vancouver

Comment: This animal hospital is open 7 days a week, Mon-Fri 8AM-Midnight & Sat/Sun 9AM-Midnight. I visited this hospital a few times, once was because Oby choked on a bone and eventually he almost died from sufficating. I do not know the name of the doctor but over during my random drop-in visits which includes another visit for Shylie's Canine Cough shot, the doctors were pretty good and not to mention pricing for their fees are pretty reasonable.

S.P.C.A. Animal Hospital
1205 East 7th Avenue
Vancouver, B.C.
V5T 1R1
(604)879-3571
Comment: I visited this hospital once for Shylie's Booster Shot. I don't know the name for the Doctor but it just happend that shylie had a swelling after getting a shot from her which is pretty common. But overall they are nice people there and if you go there be sure to visit the shelter right across from the hospital. Hint: If you are looking to buy a crate, I believe this is the best place to buy it since they only chrage $15CDN for donation which also you can help out other pets too!
