I took my suffering cat to Village Vets; the staff were very supportive, but I was less than…read moreimpressed by Dr. Ripley. Over the weeks, it became obvious that my cat had bladder stones, but despite that they were never sent out for analysis, she recommended treatment that was taiored for a specific type of stone. Her recommedations were rote and, frankly, a bit condescending. Of course, my cat had the more common stones that were not amenable to a dietary manipulation and he had to undergo emergency surgery to clear the bladder and urethral stones. In short, I am pissed off that my sweet Alex had to suffer; I should have gotten a second opinion sooner. Finally, IMHO Dr. Ripley should have known better and acted on the established facts regarding bladder stones in cats and not recommending extraneous extra tests and medications.

Leave you name and number, if you call and no one answers, they will get back to you, the lady I spoke to even gave me her cell number so that we would be in direct contact as we were coming from out of town, her communication and punctuality was spot on.

Our beloved dog passed with private home euthanasia service by our veterinarian in February 2022... as 3 times before we contacted Until We Meet Again to arrange service for private cremation... but it was 1st time after company was sold to new owner in Surrey. This time UWME tried to charge us $1000 for private cremation of our beloved dog (35kg)... For this price you can cremate 500kg horse!!! I was in disbelieve and shock! how owners of this important service can be so heartless. I still can't believe in this, it took me over year to be able to write about what happened. Shame on you UntilWeMeetAgain owner - you prey on people in the most vulnerable and sensitive time, it just shows you are only about money, nothing else. We found a way to service our boy with dignity and for normal price.

I would select zero stars if there was that option. My cat passed away at home, and I had to take…read morehim directly to Pets Furever. They told me I could pick up the urn in 4-5 days. Nobody called me in over a week. I finally picked up the box urn and left. I was an hour outside of home (Vancouver) and didn't want to wait to see the urn, so I went to a cafe and took it out from the nicely wrapped bag. I was horrified at what I saw. First, the urn was ridiculously oversized for a 3lb cat. Second, the engraving was crooked. Third, there were ugly flecks of gold paint all over the top. Finally, my last name was spelled incorrectly on the certificate. I was speechless and in tears. And because they had screwed the box closed, I couldn't even take the ashes out of the ugly urn. I returned the same evening asked for a refund. I wanted to take my kitty home, which was still an hour's drive back. They apologized, confirmed with the manager, and said the refund would be processed the next day. It was not processed the next day. In fact, I never heard from anyone. On the fifth day of waiting, I emailed them, demanding my refund the next day. I received the refund. But that wasn't the end. I stupidly took the manager's offer for a replacement urn. At the time of writing, it's three days late, and I'm too tired to write about the rest of the story. This is just a mere representation of my mental and emotional exhaustion and distress dealing with Pets Furever during a time of immense loss and grief.
