Sunshine Animal Hospital

Fantastic vet. Incredibly informative and considerate team. The only downside is the lack of accessibility on weekends. It would be nice to even just have a few hours to be able to call them for prescriptions

I've been taking my special needs cats and foster cats to Sunshine Animal Hospital for over 5 years now. They have always taken the time to talk with me about the pet and explain in detail their thoughts on different avenues of care. They are sensitive to the costs of care and understand this when recommending procedures and specialists. I appreciate their openness to listen to my thoughts about what might be going on with a sick pet. The staff are friendly, caring, knowledgeable and professional. I recommend them often to friends, family and rescue adopters. You cannot find a better place to take your loved, furry, family members!

We had to have the difficult talk about end of life for our 16+ year old dog. Dr. Hines was easy to talk to, compassionate and practical. I so appreciated his thoughts and guidance about our dogs quality of life and what our options were. Support staff very helpful and friendly.

Quick and professional service. Twice this year they have been able to provide routine vaccinations when our regular vet was too busy or didn’t have the vaccine. We may just switch.

I switched to Sunshine as my primary vet in 2018. Previously I'd used Pender Veterinary, which I was happy with but was quite a distance from our current house. A friend recommended Sunshine given previous good experiences working with a rescue group who goes to Sunshine. Given they are really close to where I live I decided to give them a try and when we adopted our new kitten late last year he had his first check up with Sunshine. I will first say that I honestly love making appointments with them, they always have openings, even same day and the front desk staff are awesome. The first person I spoke to even remembered me when we went the first time and has remembered me every single time since. Though it may help that I'm bringing a very personable orange floof that they gush over. The visits are also equally efficient and pleasant, there is rarely any wait, the staff are all knowledgeable, friendly and informative. I honestly appreciate that the doctors listen and will have an open dialogue with me. They explain why the support a specific decision, never ever push and appear to believe in the role specialists have in some situations for veterinary care. The pricing is also incredibly reasonable, I'd gotten so use to the high costs at Pender that its honestly a breath of fresh air to be able to take my cat for a check up and not have it cost 100+. They also offer great pricing on surgery, routine dental and medicines. Honestly I wish I'd switched sooner and I'm grateful to have found such a friendly community vet that provides personalized service.
