I started going to Amherst many years ago after a bad experience at another vet clinic. I've always been totally satisfied with the vets, the technicians and the front desk staff - all are friendly and professional, and clearly love the animals they work with. I prefer to see Dr. Cumberbirch as he knows my two dogs the best, but when he is not there, I've always been able to get in quickly to see someone else and have had equally great care for my dogs from them. I've heard people say that Amherst is over-priced but I have never shopped around for lower prices - I believe I get great value for what I pay there and would never switch.

The staff at Amherst are amazing. My dear 19 year cat had come to the end of her life and I had to make a very difficult decision. I selected home euthanasia and needed to find a vet in Vancouver that would accommodate my request..... I came across Amherst Veterinary Hospital. The compassion and kindness that was extended towards me and my dear little Kiah far exceeded my expectations. They brought a gentle and caring attitude into my home. I thank them from the bottom of my heart. Shortly thereafter I received a personally hand written card from these two women expressing their condolences. Nothing else to say....but thank you.

I have been taking my cat to Amherst for a few years. As an indoor cat, she has required very little care. However, that recently changed and she has a very rare condition - incontinence. The doctors have gone above & beyond trying to find answers and suggested treatments. They have been in touch with me regularly and have spent lots of time researching her condition. We haven't got it figured out quite yet, but I feel that they are doing absolutely everything in their power to help me find answers and treat my furry friend. Also, every single person that works at the Clinic is without fail cheery, friendly and helpful - on the phone and in person. If you are looking for a vet that isn't about dollars & cents, that truly cares about your animal, pick this one!!

Everyone is professional and loving at Amherst. I highly recommend Nina Speyer - she's amazing!

We love Amherst Vet Hospital, and so does our dog Pot Roast. In particular, we love Dr. Jill Meecher, who always takes good care of us and doesn't show any bias towards our bully breed English Bull Terrier. Our dog loves her and despite having some SIGNIFICANT issues early on (was bitten by another dog), where he had to be at the vet about three times a week for three weeks (having his face cut open to release infection), he still is happy to go in there and visit the friendly staff as well as Jill. As for people who think Amhert is expensive, we are in Vancouver, which is by far the most expensive place I've ever had a dog! But that being said, I did a lot of research before bringing my puppy anywhere and Amherst has great prices. I often find I can get in with short notice and the staff always make a fuss over my dog. They are compassionate and caring when I've been worried about Pot Roast and always follow up to see how he's doing. Dr. Meecher has even called after hours, just because she was concerned. We've also found that they haven't tried to up-sell us by making us feel guilty. Dr. Meecher is honest when she thinks we should try a cheaper method first and progress from there. So far, we haven't paid for anything that wasn't necessary. Overall, we bring our dog back again and again because we know he receives great care there.
