How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Hastings Veterinary Hospital
Preventive care
Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.
Compare prescription pricing
Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.
Consider pet insurance

I have been bringing my cat Milo to Hastings Vet for years now and I have had nothing short of good experiences. The team genuinely cares for my cat's wellbeing and it's clear in the way they provide follow-up calls and emails to check up on Milo. My vet tech, Anna, is amazing and I would recommend her to anyone with no reservations. She even takes the liberty to send me photo updates when Milo was caged up for a procedure! Photo attached. He looks grumpy but I am sure he would have been worse without Anna. Keep up the amazing work and thank you for serving our community 💜

I have been taking my dogs to Hastings Vet for 15 years. The staff is amazing, we drive over from North Van and the slight inconvenience is worth it. They cared for my two previous dogs, and both were put down there when they were seniors, and they now care for my current dog who is three years old. Have never felt ripped off or pressured, and the vets take their time to listen to our concerns and explain everything they need to do. They are even gentle when telling me my current dog is fat, ha ha. Everyone from front staff to vets are compassionate, lovely people, I highly recommend this practice.

Best veterinary clinic ever. We bring our cat Dinah and our dog George to this clinic. George had cancer treatment through the clinic and is recently 1 year cancer free. The staff are so friendly, we really feel that our pets are in the best care!

BLINDED MY DOGS EYE!!! If you love your pet do not bring them here! I brought my dog here because of all the good reviews they had. I brought my dog for blood work/ teeth cleaning and extracting his tooth’s and they ended up giving him a cataract in one eye! I have emailed them back and forth which they believe they did not cause like are you kidding me his eye was not like that before! you do not get cataract OVER night it happens over time as they grow older!!!! I have sent them PROOF of his eye before the surgery and after + even they examined him before doing the blood work or any tooth extraction and they never told me he had cataract which he didn’t before the dental procedure after the surgery procedure his eye was red and foggy (he couldn’t even open that one eye at one point after the surgery so I emailed them right away with pictures of how his eye looked telling them my concerns and they told me to bring him in to just made me buy a stupid eye drop which didn’t do anything! Now he can’t even barely open that one eye they are money hungry thieves paid over $3000 for them to damage his eye!!! even wanted me to pay another 700 for X-rays! I have to take him to another vet now and spend MORE money because of their stupid selfish doctors that do not care! I have to now get a second opinion because they do not believe me! And they ignore my email now pathetic vet !! IN RESPONSE TO their reply : I never once swore AT you guys or any of your staff 2, I would never trust your referral to any vet guys recommend 3 looking at your other reviews you guys have killed a cat at your vet during a spaying surgery! Disgusting and careless vet & unskilled doctors! I Feel like it’s all my fault for putting my trust into this vet! All their reviews are FAKE, after I left this review they got everyone giving them 5 stars! Please DO not trust them with surgery or any serious issues. Now my poor dog that I’ve had since he was 8 months old blinded in one eye!! I cry looking at him from what they have caused to him.

When we had to have our 12 year old cat, Lilli, put down recently everyone at the clinic was so kind, caring and understanding yet professional it made things much easier to bear. After discussions and deciding this was the right course of action to take, the euthanasia procedure was fully explained to us, we were then taken into a separate quiet room where we were allowed to spend as much time as we needed, at each step of the procedure, to stay with our little lady and say goodbye to her properly. She went very peacefully and it was definitely as good an experience as having to have your cat put to sleep could have been. Thank you specifically to Dr. Alex, as well the others who helped us, everyone was very considerate and caring.
