Click to report rating    6/22/19   2     4     3     1   I took my dog in because he was vomiting and shaking . He was very distressed . Dr was so hard to understand . She said he wasn't dehydrated but wanted to give a physical exam , do a sample collection . She did this then asked me to wait while she gave him an injection . For what I did not understand as she did not explain what she was doing . She gave some medicine for the next few days and said she would call the next day with blood test results . The test showed nothing was wrong . My bill was over $300 and would have been $620 if I had let her do X-rays . Felt like the whole visit was one big money grab ......would never use this vet again RID: 68156

Click to report rating    7/25/17   1     1     1     1   Worst vet ever. To not take your animals here. Dr bath doesn't care about the animals. We brought our health dog in with a cut on his paw. He wanted to do X-rays and all this stuff to get more money. Be proscribed a drug that killed our little dog. Dr bath now says he had all these issues. Dr bath killed our dog and will not even say sorry but get out. Again if you value your pets life do not go here. RID: 64266
Click to report rating    4/11/17   1     1     1     1   We took our kitten that we adopted from cares to get her last shots and a check up. He did a very fast job and did not take his time and missed an intussusception. We found out about it a week later when we had to rush our kitten to a good animal hospital where she was euthanized. As we were told she would probably not survive the surgery. RID: 63317

 5/12/16   2     3     3     3   I have had my cat shaved with sedation 3 times prior to having him shaved at Dr. Bath's clinic. The 3 times prior I have never had any issue post shave and sedation. My cat has always recovered without issue. HOWEVER, after bringing my cat to Willowbrook for a shave with sedation my cat is not doing well. When I got to the vet he was screaming, hissing and trying to get out of his cage. Granted he has never liked being caged but I have never seen him this distressed. When I brought him home he was restless,he will not allow me or my partner near him, he threw-up 3 times and has not eat or drank in over 36 hours. Today post sedation day 2 he will not come out from under the bed or eat. I called Dr. Bath office they could not offer me any support. They said Dr.Bath would contact me when he returned and I still have not herd. I don't know if my cat was over sedated or has experienced trauma but I would recommend to USE CAUTION with this vet.

 1/11/15   5     5     5     5   Like all dog owners, I panicked when my dog was attacked by another dog at the dog park on a Friday evening. At 9pm I was headed to the emergency clinic when I passed this place. I walked in with no appointment and was seen immediately with NO emergency fee. AND I was able to take my dog home less than 3 hours later and did not have to leave him overnight. I am so incredibly grateful for the prompt, quality service (at half of what the emergency clinic would have charged me) and I will continue to bring my dog here and recommend them to friends & family. Thanks Dr. Bath! RID: 55408

 9/14/14   5     5     5     5   I took my Jack Russell to this vet Friday for an emergency. The Dr we saw, Dr Lohat and his receptionist. They were WONDERFUL. They were able to do the small surgery our dog needed. The dr. explained what had happened how he was going to make her better, he gave me a detailed quote before he started. When we returned a few hours later the dr. explained what we should do at home for the next few days. he had all the meds ready to do. I was really impressed with the fact that Dr. Lohat didn't try and give our dog a whole bunch of tests and scam me out of a bunch more money. he knew the problem fixed it and was super kind. I would actually consider driving from Maple ridge to see these guys again. My dog is doing very well now, 2 days later. Thank you guys for being open late... RID: 53542
     4/5/13   5     5     5     5   We took our 5 year old Weimaraner there with what I thought was a skin tag and a lump that had doubled in size over night. They got me in right away and it turned out to be a tick. Dr bath was very calm and had great bed side manner with our dog stopping every few minutes to pet her and tell her everything is ok. Prices were very reasonable for the exam and 4 much needed injections. And FYI after working at a different vet (who turned out to be a money hungry scammer) $18 is NOT too much for an injection!!

Click to report rating    1/15/13   1     1     1     1   The "dr" in this clinic is very rude, uncompassionate and full of bs!! when our dog was hurt the doctor said a surgery was needed immediately and would not let us pay in parts instead wanted it all then charged us for some shots and the time he had apparently spent on our dog! he charged us 3,000$ and was very rough and cruel with our dog not caring that he was crying or that we were upset RID: 39626

Click to report rating    7/11/12   1     1     1     1   Dr. Bath kept performing unnecessary surgeries on my dog. After spending over $3000, I finally got a second opinion. My new doctor at Albatross Vet clinic cured her with a simple $20 bottle of medication. I did not need to spend all that money. I am not sure if Dr. Bath is just uneducated, or if he was putting my dog through surgery to make money. RID: 35580
Click to report rating    4/25/12   1     1     1     1   We brought our dog in because she was extremely sick and not eating a couple days after having puppies. She was examined and given a shot to help produce milk to feed the puppies. Her puppies passed away because she couldnt feed them and we brought her back because she continued to get worse. She had a really bad uterus infection(pyrometra) that was misdiagnosed. Our dog was kept overnight and put on antibiotics that couldnt have possibly helped at that point. The next day right after visiting her we were told she passed away. We were told that Dr Bath had worked on her for half an hour to revive her even though we had been there 30 minutes before and he had not been to work yet. After that we were fed more BS and had to pay $70 to cremate a 4 pound dog that shouldn't have died. We were told that the we got a really good deal because Dr Bath hadnt charged us for some of the shots he apparently gave her while he couldnt have been there. RID: 33749
Click to report rating    6/3/11   5     5     5     5   He and the staff are the BEST Love Willowbrook Animal Hospital..> thanks a lot. RID: 25399
Click to report rating    5/10/11   1     2     1     1   I brought my in, he was dizzy and couldnt stand up, he accused me of giving it or letting it have marijuana, IMPOSSIBLE, it hadnt even been out of my sight, id gotten him a day earlier. I told him it was impossible he still went ahead and kept him, pumped his stomach put him on iv to clear him out and did blood work for toxins, when i called to see how he was i was lectured by staff about keeping things away from my dog (pot) the test came back, NO POT! daaa like I said It was impossible. Got my dog back it happened again and I had to diagnose my pooch with a stunt, he then with my knowledge tested him and thats what it was, 600$ later They didnt send in my application for insurance and wasnt re-embursed what I was entitled to. DO NOT GO THERE IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR PET, seriously. RID: 24905
Click to report rating    1/27/11   2     2     1     1   We had a very bad experience with this Veterinatrian. The worst I've ever had. I have always had dogs and cats. My daughter took her cat to this vet late at night he was open until 12am worried he might not make it.He was lithargic, could not stand or move well He was kept overnight. We paid for bloodwork tests, left and came back the next day. we were there for almost two hours, found out his IV had run out during the night, it was not refilled. He was put on the floor and ran to hide behind the dogfood. The receptionist pulled him out and he pee'd blood at least a cup, which they said was caused by crystals. We left him there, re thought about it. My daughter came with a friend and before they left he gave him a shot of antibiotics. He administered it in his hind back area and the needle went right through his body and out the other side. This is not an exageration.. Two people witnessed this. We couldn't get him out fast enough. Getting test results for FIV/Imm/another story. RID: 22429
Click to report rating    8/10/10   1     4     1     2   Took my puppy to get spayed, then got charged $75 more than quoted price. Could live with that though. But when my puppy then gets bad gastro sickness 5 days later I had to take her back. Took assistant 15 min to even find my file? Then the vet didn't even examine her, barely touched her, just gave her 2 injections, oral meds, and meds for home and to bring back if no improvement? Staff their seems inexperienced and bad customer service. Then when she got worst next day took them 2 hrs to call me back! Very upset, went to another vet and was soo happy and thankful, they were kind and knowledgable and gave my puppy great care. RID: 19163
Click to report rating    7/30/09   5     5     5     5   I love love love this vet. So much in fact, that he's now a director on my board. I run a dog rescue agency called, "Cold Noses, Warm Beds". He's the absolute best. We've rehomed over 200 dogs in 5 months and I trust him with EACH and every one of them. Keep up the great work guys. Beady singer - Founder RID: 13658
