Amazing. They are very caring, friendly, all treatments were explained clearly. They took very…read moregood care of my Poppy until she passed. Now I take my adopted baby, Emily to Allondale. She is treated with the best of care in mind. A big thank you to all the doctors at the clinic. They are the very best.

I took on my daughters senior dog because of her situation. He was in need of some dental work and…read moreduring this process I saw 4 different vets at Allondale, and felt somewhat confused as to who knew what was going on with him. It turned out he had a liver issue, so we held off on the dental work and we waited a month, so he could grow stronger, put on some weight and get a better diet and hopefully heal his liver. It worked. A month later the numbers were much better and we decided to do his teeth. I knew he had an abscess and would need a couple of teeth extracted. He is 14 years old. So he went in for surgery and I was very concerned for him. Sedation is always the hardest and most serious part of the procedure, so I called twice to check in. No surprise, but all I got was lies. First call was he was in surgery and they knew nothing, and this was around noon. When I called back 4 hours later, he was in surgery and they knew nothing. What! He was under for 4 hours?? What went on, what was happening? Well I was told off because I asked too many questions and in a snaky response, they informed me 'we had to pull 19 teeth'! I was shocked! 19 teeth? And then they talked down at me and guilted me out for not caring for his teeth, and I reiterated, I just took the dog from my daughter, who is raising two kids on her own, and one of them is autistic, so yes, the dog had been somewhat neglected, and for that reason I took on the dog. And was getting him the help he needed. Well because I got agitated at the fact that no one was given permission to pull 19 teeth out of my senior Labs mouth, and because the cost of that had me shaking, literally, based on information I found online, I was told not to come back, and to let them know where to send the records. They failed to give me a quote, and lied to me twice! And I'm told to leave. Okay! I got dropped by my vet for negatively reacting to the fact that they just yanked 19 teeth out of my dogs mouth without as much as a consult. Then they claimed they gave me a quote on the cost, and that was a lie as well. I had no idea what it was going to cost me. Which is why I was so upset. I was prepared to pay 2K for it all, knowing how bad his teeth were, but online stuff had me thinking double digits!! All that I was told from one of the vet techs, while paying one of the bills was "you know they'll be pulling some teeth, right?" I answered, yes, and expected to be better informed, and even given a call during the procedure, to inform me of what was happening. They couldn't even do that! Who's brilliant idea was it to yank 19 teeth and not bother letting the owner know? Well the owner did the surgery, so I guess that answers that question. After all this they called to say Ami could be picked up early, after saying no to my request to come early and grab him. I was so ticked at that, I told them I will get there when I f'n do, and hung up on them. Now, I was wrong to say that, granted, but poke the bear... you'll get bit. So today I called to ask if perhaps cooler heads would prevail and said my apologies. I asked if the owner was standing by what she said and to not come back, and I was told that by no means would the owners accept me back, and refused to do a follow up on my dog Amicus surgery. I have 3 dogs, and my pup was scheduled for her shots this week, and my other Lab is due for shots and a dental clean. But they want me to go elsewhere. So warning to all who need a new vet. Tread carefully. And for those already unfortunate to be using them, make sure you ask questions and don't expect any customer service. Just write the cheque!!

This breeder is a gift from G-d! I have had 5 deeply loved dogs over the years bred by Kristy…read more I met Kristy many years ago when I took my beloved Shih Tzu Daisy to her for grooming. BTW...She was and still is the absolute best small breed groomer in the Lower Mainland. Anyways, at the time we met back in the early 90's, she was just starting out as a Yorkie Breeder, and her goal was to be among the best Yorkshire Terrier show quality Breeders in North America. She researched tirelessly, she did everything right in terms of being a bonafide Breeder, (not a backyard Breeder) and went to extreme financial lengths, and still does, to show her dogs in the best shows all over the world. Only a Breeder of Champions can develop a reputation as a serious champion show Breeder of exceptional quality dogs among other show Breeders, and the dog show world is extremely difficult to penetrate in terms of being taken seriously and regarded as a credible show breeder. It takes years and years of dedication, effort, incredible hard work and extreme amounts of money. However, Kristy understood that without that reputation and acceptance, she would be nothing more than a backyard breeder, and that was out of the question. She maintained a busy grooming business 7 days a week, in order to fund her HUGE expenses, which include outrageously high veterinary bills, show expenses, handler costs, supplies etc etc., and on top of that, she regularly rescues dogs from bad breeders, most with serious genetic health issues. So, for those who balk at the high cost of a show quality puppy, and think that all Breeders are "in it for the money", WRONG! A backyard Breeder is in it for the money, Kristy is in it for the love, dedication, devotion and preservation of the breeds she is involved with. You know, many small dog breeds need cesarian sections to give birth, and the cost of that is outrageous! A simple spay costs $1500 now, so trust me, the $4,000 price for a show quality Yorkie, for example may sound high to those who don't understand the true cost of quality breeding, but after all the vet checks, shots, Stud fees, supplies, CKC admin costs, (papers etc.) trust me, the profit margin is borderline "loss" when all is said and done. All of Kristy's puppies are well cared for in her home, and are even paper trained before leaving. I leave you with this...Without people like Kristy, those breeds would be extinct due to genetic damage and pain and suffering caused by backyard breeders.

*WARNING - BEFORE PUTTING IN A DEPOSIT WITH KRISTY FOR A PUPPY.*…read more She insists on a nonrefundable $500 deposit, and she means it under *ALL* circumstances. We waited 6 months on her waiting list, only to find out that 2 litters of puppies had died! Due to the highly unusual circumstance, and some doubts about the health of the dogs, we asked for our deposit back. She refused and told us to wait for the next litter (which would have been 9 months). We didn't even know how many puppies died under her supervision, or how they died! We decided she was unreliable, since we could not be sure the next litter would even survive. We searched for other breeders and even got a puppy from one, Kristy still refused to give us the $500 back. She is also difficult to communicate with, and said I was "threatening" and "blackmailing" her for saying I was going to write a negative review. She will probably reply to this review trying to play the victim, even though she's the one who's $500 richer. Save your time and money, she's not worth the stress, there are plenty of reliable breeders out there who will refund your deposit if anything happens to the puppy that they are selling you.

Had a good experience Doctors are very nice and polite here staff and Doctors are very passionate…read more regarding their work. Definitely recommend this clinic.

The most traumatic experience ever. Was at a previous Vet…read moreearlier for an examination and found advanced stage of lung cancer with the lungs filling with fluid causing him distress while breathing. Told that to the Vet at Nordel Animal hospital which I was recommended to because he's treated our other 3 pets. He said the prognosis was bad and it was right to end his life. He proceeded to shave Jake's leg and Jake pulled away...I told the Vet that he didn't like his paws touched. He proceeded to try and put a needle in Jake's arm and Jake fought and pulled away ripping the needle out. The Vet said he will sedate him. He roughly gave Jake a shot to his side and proceeded to shave Jake's other arm and Jake fought it. I asked "how long does sedation take?" He said about 15 minutes but he was already closed and he needed to go. Jake fought, got up and tried to get away, he was pulled back and Jake ran out of breath and fell to his side gasping for air. The assistant even gasped and said "oh no".I told the Vet he was hurting him and he's now dying right there. The Vet didn't say anything, just proceeded to put the needle in his arm again for the anathetics. I told him that he didn't need it, he already killed him. At that time Jake was barely breathing. The assistant asked if he was charging for sedation and with his back turned he simply nodded his head yes. I was so traumatized that I needed out of the room and couldn't even spend a few minutes to say goodbye. While paying the bill the Vet came out and said I could have a 5% discount. This was the most traumatic and torturous death that could ever be imagined and now I'm left with this last memory of our loved pet. I was charged an examination fee, sedation fee and euthanasia. I already had him examined, the Vet knew I was bringing Jake in to end his suffering. The Vet did not let Sedation to take effect. This was the worst mistake I have ever made. He tortured and killed Jake I am looking to sue as well as press charges. Got the opinion from 3 different Veterinarian's and they agree that Jake was tortured. They gave me info to further this investigation.
