My usual vet is North Road Animal Clinic, but when my 16 year old cat was suddenly very lethargic and unable to use her hind legs, they weren't able to see us quickly and they directed me to Hume Park Animal Hospital. I called them, explained what was going on and I was able to get an appointment within an hour. The registration and check in process was really easy, and very thorough. The staff are all animal lovers and compassionate people and it shows. The vet explained exactly what was going on with my cat as best he could based on his examination. He recommended a course of action, as all vets do. When I asked about her quality of life after all the tests and possible long term medical treatment, he was completely honest. There was a 50/50 chance that her quality of life would improve. He also told me that my cat was in very bad shape. They gave me as much time as I needed to talk to my spouse and make decisions. We realized that putting our 16 year old cat through a battery of tests was going to be too much for her, and we decided to end her life. They offered to schedule another appointment later that day so that my spouse could be there too, but I didn't want my cat to suffer any longer. They gave me all the time in the world to say goodbye to my cat and at the same time, the staff were there for me through the whole process. I was even allowed to hold her while they gave her the injections. I highly recommend Hume Park Animal Hospital.

I discovered Hume Park Animal Hospital earlier this year when I moved to New West. With a senior dog and 4 year old cat, finding a good vet was important to me. The very first visit, Dr. Kahlon diagnosed my dog with a chronic condition based on all the symptoms my previous vet ignored. We got him on the right medicine and my dog’s personality came back! The clinic gave the same quality care to my cat, taking the time to test my cat’s allergies rather than just guessing. (My previous vet’s guess was totally wrong.) When my dog became ill, they gave him the best care and fully supported my decision to say goodbye. The entire staff was generous and gracious through the entire process, giving me all the time I needed to say goodbye to my sweet pup. Simply put, this is the best vet clinic I’ve ever been to, whether in Canada or the U.S.

My best friends and I have been taking our cats to Hume park for a few years now. The staff here is absolutely incredible and they genuinely care about the well being of your animals. I could write a gigantic letter about how truly incredible, sincere, and knowledgeable the team here is, but I could not possibly put my gratitude into words. A HUGE thank you to the amazing staff here for always being there for us when we needed them most. You have always been honest, empathetic, and go above and beyond. My cats love the staff here, so much so that I would gladly bring my cats to visit just for fun. Hume Park - never change! Keep up the amazing work that you do. We love you people, thank you!!!! 100000/10 would recommend.

I recently switched and have made Hume Park Animal Hospital my primary vet after many years of being a patient at another popular local vet in New Westminster. I am glad we made the switch and am so grateful to have my dog get the care he needs at this vet. In our experiences every time we visit, the front desk staff, vet techs and Dr. Kahlon have been very informative, transparent and have given great service making me feel comfortable that my dog is in good care. My dog Max had major dental surgery, having to get all his teeth removed in June 2024 and I’m glad I chose this hospital to have the procedure done. From the start of the process all the way to end of the recovery stages, we were sent home with proper instructions and aftercare and follow up was great, which made the recovery process so much easier. If you are searching for a new vet in the area, I would definitely put Hume Park Animal Hospital at the top of the list and recommend their services for your pet.

We have 12 years old male cat Leo (short from Napoleon), who is a trouble maker and always creates drama when it comes to visit the vet. Does it it sounds familiar? :) We were so relieved that Hume Park Animal Hospital accepted us as a new patients under this circumstance. No, this is not a typo. When saying "patients", I meant our cat and all his "staff". :) Our first visit was stress free. Dr. Kahlon and his team are professionals, very patient and did a thorough examination. The clinic also have a proper electronical follow up and notification system, so you can't miss any vaccine or treatment. Thank you Hume Park Animal Hospital TEAM for your kindness and patience!
