I am thrilled that Dr. Upjohn is practicing again!! I have been going to see him at his previous clinic for the last 9 years whenever my guinea pigs had issues. I had previously taken my two short haired guineas pigs to him and they lived long and healthy lives. Dr. Upjohn successfully treated malocclusion on multiple occasions for one of the guinea pigs' teeth and also cured upper respiratory tract infections for the other pig. I now have two skinny pigs and one has malocclusion, and Dr. Upjohn operated on him today and he's already eating so well! His rates are very reasonable and I never feel like he pushes any diagnostic tests, meds, or procedures that aren't warranted. I can recommend his services with complete confidence. Thanks for all your help over the years!!

Great staff and great doctors. They care. They Cared for our chocolate lab for years and while providing a premium level of care, the bills were reasonable and didn't contain anything that wasn't needed. I'd highly reccomend amherst John M

After trying a few different clinics, this has become my go-to for my dog and cat. The staff are friendly, clinic is clean and I'm never waiting for my appointment. I trust these doctors - I had been told before that my dog should have her anal glands removed (a risky surgery that I am not comfortable with.) This was the first vet to tell me that her condition was totally manageable and surgery was unnecessary. I took a point off monetary value because I find their simple procedures (nail trims, anal gland expressions) to be a little pricey, but I find their care and expertise to be worth the cost,

I have been going to Amherst for 16 years with my own dogs as well as my with my foster dogs. I have had excellent service and veterinary care from all of the vets there. I really appreciate the fact that they take do not order unnecessary tests. On one occasion I asked for a thyroid function test on one of my dogs who was not as active as was typical of his breed. The vet took one look at his healthy shiny coat, did a physical exam and said that there was no way that the dog had a thyroid problem and therefore a thyroid function test was not indicated! I appreciated his honesty when I was willing to pay for for the test. I have recommended Amherst to friends who are also very happy with the care that their pets receive.

My dogs have been going to Amherst veterinary for over 15 years, basically due to location. When one of my dogs got extremely sick i was forced to take him to the Burnaby Hospital because noone was around to monitor the dog on the long weekend with an iv. Thus this led to an outstanding amount of money!!!! Not to mention they had wrongly diagnosed the dog. Needless to say i have moved my pets to a different vet that offer much better hours, and emergency care. Not to mention that when i called in with a sick dog at 9am, i wasnt able to bring him in till 430 that day!

The doctors here are only after a quick buck. After hudndreds of dollars in tests, they came up with the wrong diagnosis, and my poor baby suffered for months before we found a competent vet to help. I would not reccomend this place to anyone!

I have taken my pets to Amherst for the past 22 years. Without exception the service and quality of care has been excellent. Dr. Cumberbirch and his staff have advised me on numerous issues and it has always let to a good outcome. When I have had to make the decision about a difficult treatment issue or in the final stages, about ending a beloved pet's life Dr. Cumberbirch and his staff have not only attended to the needs of the animal but those of the owner as well, walking me through the decision as if the animal in question were their own. It has made all the difference and set the standard in my mind for good veterinary care.

We have always adopted our pets. This means dealing with & resolving wide variety of health issues & problems that can afflict older animals. Dr. Cumberbirch has a wonderful overview of current data & respect for how important a family member each animal is. He has an appreciation for all breeds, types and personalities. He is rational about expenses & catering to the family & each individual. We currently have 2 chows & 3 cats. One cat is 22 years old, another has a neurological problem. head, the third cat was so ill when I found her that several vets said she would die. Amherst gave me tips for caring for her and while Angel was very small she is now robust & almost 12 years old. Sarah, a chow, was rescued after being left for dead with a broken jaw. Some vets have been very forthright in their dislike of chows - i can't imagine what terrors a pet feels on a trip to the vets - it would be so much worse if i thought that the Dr. didn't like my dog. I can't praise him enough.
