I want to thank Dr. Jenna for her utmost professionalism and compassion in caring for our lab, Java, these past 5 months. Dr. Jenna diagnosed Java's Mast Cell Tumour 5 months ago, and carefully walked us through the different options. Unfortunately, Java's cancer had spread and no option was curative. I greatly appreciated how Dr. Jenna did not pressure us into any aggressive treatments and focused on Java's quality of life throughout. Sadly, we had to bring Java in for her final visit to Paws a few days ago. Although they were just about to close at 6 PM on a Saturday, Dr. Jenna and her staff stayed late to put Java to rest. Thank you Dr. Jenna, and everyone who stayed later, so that Java did not have to endure any suffering until you re-opened on Monday. Your commitment to Java's comfort in her final moments was so greatly appreciated.

I took my first puppy, Benny, to Dr. Yuen at another clinic in 2005 and, because of the great care she gave Benny, and then Halle, I had to follow her to her new clinic. I could not ask for a better vet. Dr. Yuen is friendly, compassionate, caring and knowledgeable and I could not imagine entrusting my 3lb dog to anyone else. She and her staff have taken such good care of my tiny Halle and, even though Halle had numerous visits last fall for blood tests, she still loves going to the vet. She was treated with great care by Dr. Yuen, Nadia, and the rest of the staff, and I am grateful for the love they show to my little pup every time we see them. Halle has no fear of going to the vet even though she’s had to get numerous needles! All the staff are lovely and very clearly animal lovers. I encourage every pet owner I know to go to Paws on Fraser and those that have taken my advice have been equally pleased with the care their pets have received. Allison

I truly appreciate everything Dr. Jenna did for my dog and me. I’m incredibly grateful for how she approached my reactive dog, making both of us feel comfortable and never making me feel embarrassed about his reactivity towards the vet. The team at this veterinary hospital are absolute angels! A special thank you to Dr. Kristine as well for your help! :)

I've visited many vets in Vancouver and Burnaby, and Dr. Hewitt-Kenda and Dr. Kong stand out as exceptional. The front reception team is incredibly supportive and friendly, making a big difference. I believe the best clinics not only have skilled veterinarians but also a strong, efficient administrative team. Pricing is fair, and the facility is clean and modern, unlike some older, outdated clinics. Highly recommend this place!

I have been taking my kitten, Pigman, to Paws on Fraser for four months. Most of our first visits were for the typical vaccines and deworming that a kitten needs. In regards to this, Paws on Fraser is not only fairly priced but one of the most comfortable and welcoming veterinary experiences I have had. The staff are friendly, the waiting room is well done, they approach every issue with detail and conveniently, they have a pet store a few doors down from their location. (Though I would recommend checking out Happy Cat a few blocks down Fraser) Over the last week, however dear Pigman has had to come in for a few small and large emergencies. From the conversations had over the phone, to the patience and kindness that the doctors and nurses showed, Paws has outdone every vet I have been to in my many years of being a cat owner. I truly couldn’t recommend them more to new pet owners / someone looking for a better vet experience.
