My golden retriever had an issue with his ear. We mistakenly took him to Cheam Vet Clinic. This butchery clinic charged us $2000.00 for a botched surgery (according to a knowledgeable, reliable, veterinarian) and, according to a real vet, the surgery was done WRONG. My dog's ear had started to go necrotic (tissue dying) and as a result of the botched job and will now most likely lose his ear. According to the real vet, my dog has been in extreme pain for 3 weeks now because of the butchery done to him at this clinic.
AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE A PLAGUE. DO NOT TAKE YOUR POOR ANIMALS TO THIS SLAUGHTERHOUSE.

We recently had our 11 year old healthy cat seen here, she had gotten into a fight with another cat and needed an abscess that was already partially drained fully cleaned out. We were told she would require local freezing only due to her age and that we could clean it daily at home. Fast forward 8 hours later when we arrived to pick her up, we were met with our lump, barely breathing completely hazed cat. She had been put under anesthesia not once but twice in a 4 hour time frame. We paid a $300.00 bill and were told to watch her carefully. An hour later she still wasn't coming to, when we called we were told that this is a sign in older cats and to watch it carefully and there's nothing else they could do. She died 2.5 hours later in my arms. It was an avoidable and unnecessary death. The communication was terrible,lack of medical background review and the answers we were met with were inconsistent. Terrible service and lack of empathy, we will never recommend or return as customers.

I brought my dog to this vet for an after hours emergency. She had eaten something on a trail, was showing symptoms of being poisoned. Upon seeing her, the vet thought she was likely high from eating THC-contaminated feces. Given where we were hiking, and how she was acting, I believe he was right. She seemed stoned. However, this vet over-treated/over-medicated my dog. Dr. Chahal also said he found a mysterious "lump" he on her back leg. I caught him just before he was about to sedate and x-ray her leg, WITHOUT MY PERMISSION. She came in for emergency poisoning - not her leg. She wasn't limping, and was not indicating any pain. I checked thoroughly for weeks, there never was a lump. The vet bill was over $900. According to other vets, for this kind of emergency visit/stay, it should have cost about $600. One vet thought many of the medications were unnecessary (6 shots, 5 different drugs, over 8 hours), plus 2 meds they wanted to send me home with. When asked what the meds were for, h

Getting our first dog was exciting and challenging at the same time. Within the first week, our boxer puupy had a severe allergic reaction. This was all new to us... we frantically called many Vet hospitals in the area however, did not get anyone to take him in. Dr. Chahal not only answered the phone, he waited for us at the hospital while we drove over an hour from Surrey to Chilliwack. Level of service, professionalism and personalized care was by far the best I had ever seen. We came home with a happy puppy. Since that day, we go out of our way, leaving all the Vets in our area to attend Cheamview Veterinary Clinic in Chilliwack. Every following visit left us even more impressed with service at this clinic. I would recommend Dr. Chahal and his clinic to anyone looking for Veterinary services. Jag

Worst experience.. Today marks 1 year we had to put down our sweet dog who was only 3. The vet kept telling us all she had was weak bones and we would tell him it something more, but he wouldn’t listen and would tell us just to give her a vitamin (that cost a fortune). Our dog only got worse.. We ended up taking her to a different vet in Sardis who confirned our dogs knees were completely shot.. If this was caught in time all our pup needed was a knee brace to strengthen her knee and build her strength back up and she would still be with us today ?? This vet in Sardis was completely honest with us and not trying to sell us stupid vitamins that did absolutely nothing except empty our wallet.
I do not recommend this vet at all. I wish he would have been honest and not trying to sell us on vitamins that only benefited his wallet!! He has caused so much heartbreak!! Do not go to this vet!!!

I would not recommend visiting this place unless you want to be spoken to in a condescending fashion while the staff guilts you in to unnecessairily spending.
Heres what my experience entailed. I brought in a 2 year old DSH feline to be seen for dental issues. I brought this cat from Ontario where I was a volunteer and foster care provider at a rescue, so ive delt with many clinics, both honest and dishonest. I was told that i booked him to get checked out and that i sasaid he has FiV. This is a bold faced lie, he never has tested positive and i brough vet records record, since his birth, to show proof. They still went ahead and did blood work and tests for FiV and charged me $318 for a vet visit that should have consisted of a visit ($20) and 2 scripts ($45) before booking him for a cleaning next week but now ill be going to cottonwood with its 137 great reviews. I refuse to use a service that is emotionally abusive towards its clients with full intentions of being dishonest.

RUDE and unprofessional staff and doctor. Unclean clinic and lots of hidden fees. If you want pain medication for your pet after surgery, you have to pay extra - they should be included! How could you ever not give pain meds after surgery?! If I couldn't have afforded the meds they would have let my pet go without them. Disgusting.

Dr. Chahal saved my dogs life, and for that I will always be grateful. She came in with open pyometra and he performed an emergency surgery on her. The infection was so bad that if we had waited any longer or if he had made a wrong snip during surgery she would be dead. He and his staff truly care for the animals they treat and it shows in everything they do. I highly recommend this vet hospital and will be taking all of my animals here for as long as I remain in the area.

I've been taking my dogs to Cheam View for several years. I have always found the staff to be very friendly, caring and knowledgeable. The facilities are immaculate. I never have very long to wait for my appt. and they are very reasonable. Dr. Chahal is a very caring person. He is wonderful with my dogs. He is an amazing veterinarian. He is available almost all the time. If there is an emergency, there is no question but he'll be there asap. Wouldn't go anywhere else.

Undoubtedly the best vet clinic in town with their amazing service and reasonable pricing. Dr. Chahal and his team are very compassionate and professional and my fur babies love it there! Available 24/7 for emergency calls and no extra charges, accurate diagnosis with no unnecessary expenses. Wouldn't go anywhere else :)

Took a chance and took my very allergic 3 yr old dog in desperation after seeing several other vets in town. Was pleasantly surprised to be presented with an alternative treatment both convenient and economical, presc brand foods to be reasonable. vet was a bit difficult to understand but took the time to explain. I will try them again.

The person that wrote the review below is extremely inaccurate !! Cheam view is the best animal hospital I've ever been too. Dr. Chahal is the best Vet with very reasonable rates. He gives me discounts on everything every visit we have . I have been to several vets in Chilliwack and his hospital is by far the best . My dogs love him so much and they are not very people friendly ! I went to him for the first time on an emergency call he saved my dog from after he are something poison it was very late at night and he came right away. As for his staff everyone is very pleasant and knowledgable. Especially Randy she has been there a long time and is truly a wonderful person with a very caring attitude ! My dogs have behavioural issues and I call there all the time and she always helps me know matter how busy she is ! Wonderful place to bring your pets.

This clinic has gone thru a lot of changes since Cindy left. When I went there recently, the clinic smelled bad, seemed dirty and the staff could not answer my questions. The vet was rude and not helpful. Would not recommend.

I had my first experience with this clinic in October, and it was excellent. All of my questions were answered in detail. The Dr. is completely up to date on the procedures and testing I require, and the staff is friendly and efficient. I found the cost for testing and procedures to be more than fair. As a pet owner/show breeder, I'm thrilled to have found a clinic I can trust and rely on. Thank you, Dr.KC!

I am new to this clinic I am impressed. The quality of care has been great. Dr. Chahal has taken the time to explain the procedures and all the pros and cons of my requests. I do not feel that he was standing there with his hand open trying to squeeze every last dime out of me. Everything that he did was practical, kind and for the benefit of my pet. He is available when required day or night with out charging crazy after hour fees. To get the proper care for our animals whether a singleton pet or multiples like myself; the clinic must provide a caring, affordorable and knowledgeable service which has been my experience to date.

do not go there. animals are only the means to a lucrative drug business. After $400 and three daays later, my cat died screaming. We had no money left for food. No more of this money machine business.

Although we were very sad to see Dr. Cindy leave, our experiences with Dr. Chahal have been very positive. He was warm, friendly and genuinely caring. He made my frightened whippet feel secure and less nervous all the while he was checking her over. His medical care was top-notch, with follow-ups and consultations regarding treatment. No need to worry about going to Cheamview, the care is excellent and the staff are helpful and friendly.

Dr. Chahal is an amazing vet. I have been to other vets, but that wont be happening again. It was like he was dealing with his own personal dog. I called Dr. Chahal after hours to leave a message concerning my pet's health but Dr. Chahal answered and had me come in right away. I has highly amazed by the care and the service they provided and the prices were very reasonable.

From an emergency 3 am call to staying after closing time , (past 8 pm) , Dr chahal gave my dog such kind care and attention to his health that I knew I found the very best veterinarian for my dog. I haven't lived here for long and Dr. Chahal and his wife and staff are the nicest vet team I've ever encountered. Thank-you for making my little dog well again. You have the kindest of spirits. My little baby wasn't even shaking with nervousness at the vet (usually would)Dr. Chahal has such a calm approach. He made us both feel better!

My dog had a stroke at midnight and I called the Cheam view emergency contact for help.Dr Chahal responded my call and came to see my dog immediately. He is extremely affectionate and kind doctor. He gave me decent discount based on my tight financial situation. I left my dog and he didn't ask for any deposit and trusted me blindly. He is fully dedicated to his profession.I would recommend all the chilliwack residents to have services fron such an amazing vet.

They were the most amazing compassionate group of people I have ever met. We had to put our 5 year old cat down due to congential kidney failure, and I was deeply saddened upon hearing the news. They comforted me, and allowed me as much time as I needed to say goodbye to my cat.They were always so good with her when we brought her in, even though she could be quite difficult. I would recommend this vet to ANYONE....and I do!!!

My cat's lungs were filled with fluid, but I was assured that they weren't. After hundreds of dollars, I made the terrible decision to euthanize, and fluid literally rushed out of his nose onto the table when he died. A day later, after making arrangements for a burial plot, I received a call asking when I was picking up his body as (and I quote) "Your cat is decomposing in our fridge." I was also told that they were "sorry for my loss" at the EXACT same time my bill was slid across the counter to me. I changed vets immediately, and am SO happy with Valley Veterinary Services - excellent diagnostics, friendly staff, fabulous surgeons.
