My dog, Bella, is pretty skittish. It’s impossible to brush her teeth and cut her nails. It’s an event that rarely happens. Still, the vet here is always so kind and gentle with Bella. They recognize her shy nature and work with it, not against it. We wouldn’t go anywhere else. The care and knowledge here are very good. Front desk area isn’t so impressive but the vet, prices, location and care are amazing.
Always kind, professional and efficient. I wouldn’t trust my pets health to just anyone. This is my “go to” vet.
This is a great vet. Very knowledgeable, up to date techniques and equipment. Everyone’s professional, friendly and quite helpful. I wouldn’t recommend anyone to take their pets anywhere else but Atlas.
Anyone looking for a caring and quality veterinarian should definitely come here. Everyone is so friendly and professional here. I wouldn’t bring my Boxer anywhere but here. They take great care of him for a very reasonable price.
Great service and very caring staff. Prices are affordable and I think I ll be coming back here instead of my old animal hospital.
Thanks for taking good care of Heyward while I was she was in here with you. I really appreciate it.
I've been coming here for a long time, and most of the day staff are rude, indifferent and keep you waiting a long time. When I see the glowing reviews here, it really makes me wonder if they are talking about the same clinic. If my budget ever improves, they will lose me faster than you can imagine, but unfortunately I know of no clinic that charges cheaper for the medication my pet needs.

Thank you for the great care you gave my dog he wasn’t feeling any good when we walked in your hospital but after we left he even cried not wanting to leave! We love you all!
I like how my pet can be attended 24 hours by a doctor as opposed to other vets that close in the evening.
I was quoted $5000 for surgery at another vet then came to Dr. Bhuller who quoted less than half the price. Surgery came out perfect, thanks Dr. Bhuller.
I've been coming here for quite some time now, and have always been happy with the way we are treated at Atlas Animal Hospital. I am always bragging about them to my friends.
Atlas Animal Hospital is wonderful! We hardly ever have to wait to be seen by a vet, and the staff is just to welcoming and kind. I really like how I am always kept informed about everything, and how affordable they are. I wouldn't go anywhere else.
I cannot thank Atlas Animal Hospital enough. They are so kind and caring. They definitely know what they are doing, and are very knowledgeable. I trust them 100%
Nothing but great things to say about Atlas Animal Hospitals. They really have a passion for animals here. I couldn't be happier with my puppy's hospital. It's nice, up to date, clean, and has the nicest staff and vets working here.
I can't express enough gratitude towards Atlas Animal Hospital for everything they've done for us! Very compassionate people! I love you guys!
I am always so impressed with how quickly my calls are answered here. I am never put on hold for a long time and love knowing that if I have a quick question I won't have to wait a half hour through terrible music to get it answered. I thought their pricing was very fair.
Our old, sweet kitty had been going through a rough year. We'd been doing regular visits with our other vet, but things weren't working out. After a particularly bad Saturday morning we took him to Atlas Animal Hospital. It was time - it was the hardest thing we've ever had to do and I don't have much nice to say about that day, but the people there were so nice and respectful. We won't forget how kind they were as my husband and I were quiet distressed. The vet (I can't remember names) was very patient and talked us through the process.
I'm usually somewhat sensitive to the cold, so I was a little worried that their office would be too cold, but it was fine. I was very comfortable the entire time. One thing I noticed about their office was how absolutely fantastic it smelled. They must clean or sanitize all the time. They were so easy to reach in an emergency, they answered my call immediately. It is a relief to know that I can count on them to always be there for me when I need them the most. Just as a side note, I was very impressed with how conveniently located this office was. It was so easy to find, I didn't have any trouble at all. I've been to other vets that have designated areas for dogs to go to the bathroom but I didn't see one here. It really wasn't that big of deal though because there was a little grass outside the office so it was fine.
My puppy has been there for treatment many times and has seen Dr. Bhuller and the staff. They are very nice, kind, thorough, and present realistic options, while keeping cost in mind as a consideration. His staff are always incredibly kind and helpful and have provided lots of good advice over the phone and squeezed us in when we needed it.
Took my baby girl Balinese in on Friday for a spay and they did a great job! Her incision is TINY and she's bouncing around like her belly isn't being held together by two small stitches!! Atlas Animal Hospital is better than the other place that we took our Calico to. Once again, Atlas has rocked our kitty socks. THANK YOU!
Atlas Animal Hospital is a great veterinary treatment for my cat has ever seen. Dr. Bhuller was exceedingly helpful and sympathetic to my budget and my cat's illness and went above and beyond my expectations. He followed up with my frequently and was very patient with my repetitive questions and calls. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and kind veterinarian.
The doctors and staff are amazing. Very helpful and answered all my questions about my cat Oats very thoroughly. Dr Bhuller did a great job during the exam part of Oats visit and was explaining to me everything he was doing. The staff are very friendly and helpful and full of smiles. Made me feel welcomed and relaxed.
I was recently at Atlas Animal Hospital and I was very impressed with how clean this place is. The staff was very nice and helpful and answered my questions I had before the appointment. It didn't take that long to come into see me and Charlie he was in right away and started a very through exam and asked me questions about Charlie as he went along. I really appreciate the fact that he took the time to get to know me and Charlie. Thank you and I look forward to our next visit.
To the doctors and staffs, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for your extended and superb service given to Millie while under your care. You have also extended your "above and beyond" service to my husband and me by accommodate us while traveling from another country to be able to visit with our loved one and to be able to ask necessary questions while there.
Here at Atlas Animal Hospital, they are very caring, compassionate staff --wonderful interaction with pets. You get the impression that they really do care about each patient. Always prompt and efficient during visits, wonderful facility, super-clean and comfortable.
This hospital is so devoted to their work. I love how they really care about my puppies. I know people might think I madly care for my puppies like they are they child. But I thought I was going to lose them but they were amazing. Everything they did for my puppies made my day brighter and happier. I don't know what I would do if they weren't there for me.
Thank you Atlas Animal Hospital for your genuine care and compassion for my dog. I don't have words to describe my gratitude for how wonderful your staff and facility are. I will always recommend your services to everyone.
This place is absolutely amazing. They take the best pro-active care of my cats, when I leave I feel 100% content with the answers they have provided and the care my cats have received. Unlike other vets they don't try to push all these meds and tests on your pets, they take everything one step at a time and you can tell they really care about your pets. I recommended Atlas Animal Hospital to everyone I know with a pet in need of a check up or some care.
It is hard for me to find a place for my giant German Shepherd. Believe it or not, some vets are actually afraid of handling him - the big lug is not dangerous, he just squirms a lot! When the problems arise, I need help right away. (the dog has a number of genetic diseases). Recently, he ran into a flowerpot while chasing a cat, and required no less than cosmetic surgery on his face and eye area. The Doctor and his team did a great job, and my dog looks as good as new....with very reasonable bill, as well. The office and clinic are very well run, professional and are always there during posted work hours. I guess this means "reliable". Always recommend their services to everyone.
Dr. Bhuller is a fabulous vet and the gentleman I saw in his stead has been good as well. I appreciate Dr. Bhuller's expertise. He is certainly the finest vet I've known.
I had my second visit here yesterday for my cat's vaccination and I am very happy here so far. They deserve every single star.
The Georgia Straight Newspaper wrote about Dr. Bhuller as the best ambassador to the animal kingdom. I went to the clinic and was pleased with the services. Thanks...both to them and the Georgia Straight Newspaper.
Some years ago we had a lengthy medical emergency with our dog. I phoned Atlas Animal Hospital and was told to bring him in. The doctor was able to find out what was wrong with him and help him back to health. Thank you so much for your caring.
Dr. Gill at Atlas Animal Hospital was awesome! Dr. Gill spent a great deal of time with my and my dog. Also very kind and professional and really seemed to care! Thanks!
I think Atlas Animal Hospital is fabulous. I have been taking my two miniature schnauzers there for about a year now. Everyone is so compassionate and personable. All of the diagnosis and treatment seem to be spot on. The staff is always helpful and cheerful. They really are great! Thanks for everything!
If you need to make a quick decision:
- Don't come care if price is not too much of a concern and you just want good attention.
- Do come here if you're extremely strapped for cash, or it's late night and nothing is open.
I took my kittie here after she showed signs of an eye infection late one night. We Googled and this appeared to be one of the few places that's open and close by. After...

If there was anything less than one star, this would be it. A while back I brought a baby bunny who wasn't eating in to see the vet. The poor thing was smaller than the palm of my hand and we waited FOREVER. It died in my hand just as I was put into the stupid room. Guess where the Dr. was? Munching in the back! Bastard just told me 'yep, its dead'. No s@!t, sherlock. If you busted your a@s... more

Because I've had different kinds of animals for pets, I've been to more than a few veterinarians and specialized veterinarians through the years - so when I tell you Atlas is the best animal hospital to be, what I'm telling you is based on over 25 year's experience with vet. hospitals. Let's get a few minor points out of the way first, shall we? Yes, it is run and mostly staffed by,... more

This place is very reliable. I had to take my dog here in the middle of the night because she was yelping every time she tried to lay down, and wasn't eating anything. Atlas immediately checked her in and got her diagnosed. They were so great!

It's getting complicated to have an animal put down in Vancouver, because you aren't supposed to bury the animal on your property. So most vets, when you call for the price of a euthanasia, will first ask whether you want a private or general cremation; obviously the former is more expensive. In addition, the other vet clinics that are open at night charge a "night premium" of over a hundred... more

My boyfriend's 2 year old English bulldog was suffering badly. She was terminal, suffering from renal failure. She was in the final phase, and in a great deal of pain. The vet bills were already over $4000, with little to show for it. ( from a different vet). Money was so tight, and the situation was so dire that despite so many negative reviews, I decided to go to Atlas Veterinarian clinic. It... more

We?ve been with the Atlas Animal Hospital for over 3 years. The staff and vets have always treated our dogs, Cassie, Snowball and Pizzy with kindness and consideration. One of our dogs needed surgery to regain her sight, which he did, thanks to their swift action.
Where do I begin... words cannot express how I feel about Atlas Animal Hospital. I will tell everyone now and forever how special the people are, ESPECIALLY Dr. Bhuller, and how my dog Danny and I were treated since coming here. I will come back again someday with a new fuzzy wuzzy puppy for all to see! Thank you, thank you, thank you, from the bottom of my heart I love you all!?
My 4 legged furry child has been a patient of Dr. Bhuller for a while. Doc has guided us through the stages of puppy hood and kept him healthy into his adult hood. We've had a couple of close calls in all those years, and Doc & his staff have always been there to advise & reassure. Their concern & compassion is second to none!
Since I no longer live in Vancouver and most likely won't be taking my animals here anymore (too far on transit!) I figured it's high time I write this place a review.
Over the last six or seven years I have taken every one of my 4 cats (yes, 4) here to get spayed and for the occasional check up or other minor medical procedure. When it comes to price, they can't be beat. Paying about $40 to...

I am an animal lover and knowing that everyone here love animals as much as I do. So I know that my little ones are in really good hands. My little baby was having trouble delivering her baby for who knows what reason. She looked really pale but the doc made her all better and I am thankful you were there for us. I love you so much for saving my baby and her babies. Thank you so much.
I took my rescue cat here - the cleanliness is substandard; the staff have major attitude stuff; and I didn't find the total bill to be any less than my regular vet.
I will never return to this business. Public redemption does not make up for dirty examination tables and the "chip on the shoulder" attitude.
This hospital is so devoted to their work. I love how they really care about my puppies. I know people might think I madly care for my puppies like they are they child. But I thought I was going to lose them but they were amazing. Everything they did for my puppies made my day brighter and happier. I don't know what I would do if they weren't there for me.

I'm torn between 3 and 4 stars. For the price, 4 stars. For the No frills atmosphere that is slightly disconcerting ... 3 stars. Its admirable that they keep their prices affordable for students. low-income, and immigrant families. It's a lot better than having dozens of new kittens to put down when they cannot afford a $400 spay/neuter operation.
I did read all the reviews before going, which...

I took my sister's much loved but terribly ill cat in yesterday to be euthanized. The staff were all very respectful and the process was explained beforehand and then performed humanely and with compassion.
I am absolutely horrified of what happened yesterday.
We brought our dog Tika in for a checkup, as she was quite ill. An Indian vet came in the exam room - he didn't look at us in the eye or introduce himself. He immediately started examining Tika He was being rough with her and didn't even use gloves. It was blatantly obvious that this man doesn't care about animals. My baby is 13 and a...

This review is only based on the nail clipping i got for my pup. We have our pup on a Raw Food diet and as a result their nails grow faster. Since my last visit to Atlas I have bought my own tow nail clippers.
It was Sat morning and I wanted to get his nails clipped. I called Atlas which is only a 10 min walk from my house and figured it would be convenient. They said "come on in, no...

This vet does not deserve 1 star, it deserves 0!
The only advantage is that it opens 24 hours so incase of an EMERGENCY, when no other vets are open, you can go to this one.
Otherwise, the wait to speak with a receptionist will take forever. They don't seem to know what they are doing. This place has bad hygiene and dog urine all over the place.
I brought my dog here because he was sick and...

I have very mixed feelings for this place. Dr. H. Bhullar has done his very best to offer affordable animal care for students like myself who love and own pets but have very limited budgets.
Unfortunately this has also meant hiring sub-standard employees and implementing bad business practices. I've read some negative articles in the Vancouver Sun and the CBC regarding his inquiry in 2009 that...

I went to Atlas for several years when my cat needed routine vaccinations and I was short on cash. I never had any problems, but was always suspicious of the mediocre sanitation, the sketchy record keeping, irregular vaccination reminders, and the revolving door of staff (vets and attendants) who passed through the clinic. I don't believe I've ever met the same vet or receptionist twice.

I have had a special place in my heart for this vet ever since he helped out a great deal when my roommate's cat got hit by a car. Bascially both back legs were broken and the bill was going to be $100. My roommate really didn't have that kind of cash but didn't want to put the cat down. They cut thier price and gave us contact information for charities that could also assist us with the bill.... more
When dealing with the health of a beloved, always get a second opinion.
I am going to be as honest as I possibly can when I tackle this review. I respect Dr Bhullar and his commitment to spaying low cost especially for the animal rescue groups. His prices are the best in the city, bar none. He is open 24 hours and does it out of care. I have went to him for years, but a few years ago experienced a terrifying change-of-heart when one of his vet assistants lost my... more
Atlas offers a quick and 24 hour service, which is great. Took my dog there and he had his nail and butt done pretty quickly ( although he is auoer grumpy old man).
Moreover, Atlas opens 24 hour, with no extra charge, which is great for anyone. The price is the one of the most affordable too.
My main concern is the hygiene of the place. I'm not expecting the floor to be extra clean that I can...

When it comes to vets, this is, as far as I'm concerned, one of the best. Atlas may be a bit out of the way for some pet owners who live on the West side of the city, but it's worth the trip -- trust me.
Unlike other vet and pet clinics, Dr. Bhullar and the team at Atlas cut the BS and tell you, as best they can, what the problem is with your furry friend. Also appreciated are the...
