How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Metrotown Animal 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.

Baby Chanel's first sedated teeth cleaning of his life. He was mad at mommy after and groggy for the first 12 hours. He felt all better around 1AM and drank water, ate and woke up his grandparents to play fetch until 4AM. He was back to himself. He did really well recovering without any discomfort eating. He feels really happy now. Thank you to MAH team!

I highly recommend Metrotown animal hospital, all of my dogs are going here. Last month one of my chihuahua got an eye injury and i went to VCA, the Dr said his eye need to remove for almost $4000 while Dr.Han ‘s price was only half. Very affordable price and Dr. Han answered all of my concerns, happily to explain everything for me. After 2 weeks his wound is recovering now and he looks happy again 😊. Thank you Dr. Han and all the staffs again !!!!

The staffs and Dr.Hans were very helpful and friendly. The price was reasonable and my guinea pig had a thorough checkup. I left the vet with a positive experience and I will definitely be going back if necessary and I refer them to my friends.

DO NOT BRING YOUR PET HERE IF YOU CARE ABOUT THEM!!! READ UNTIL THE END!!! I brought my large mixed breed dog here in June to have a biopsy of a lump in his mouth. They sent me home from the initial procedure without giving me the meds or instructions that were required and i PAID FOR. We were shoed out of the office with zero instructions just see ya later, only to find out after calling them they forgot to give the pain meds and antibiotics, we had to drive an hour back to get the meds with NO APOLOGY. Flash forward one week and i still hadn't heard back from them so i call to ask if they have received the biopsy. I was told it was delayed because they had "misplaced" it but then found it. When the results came in the vet said it was a benign lump and its nothing to worry about but to monitor it. Well this lump has now tripled in size and when we went for our consultation at the dental surgeon today to have it removed we were told the vet MISINTERPRETED the biopsy report. IT IS AN AGGRESSIVE CANCEROUS TUMOR! This could have been removed 5 months ago and now my dog is losing much more tissue than would have been required if this was DIAGNOSED CORRECTLY! STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS CLINIC AS THEY CANT EVEN READ A BIOPSY REPORT CORRECTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!

My 18 and half years old dog Daniel got help from Dr. Han here and everyone here is very friendly. I introduced JoJo, a 7-year-old Pekingese from a friend of mine, to come here for a physical check-up, and they were also very satisfied.
