Dr. Shamsher cares for my two frenchies and has been an incredible Doctor. He is thorough, smart, listens to all of my concerns and is always mindful of cost and most of all he is so great with my girls. Dr Shamsher has been able to get us in multiple times in emergency situations. The girls at the office are just as amazing! Beyond helpful, friendly and kind. I also appreciate the follow up calls on how my pups are doing after being there. It really shows they care about your pets.

Dr. Shamsher Ghatorha is such a kind and caring vet. He took the time to listen to all of our questions and concerns about our new rescue cat. He was very patient and we didn't feel like we were being rushed out at all. We will be going to him permanently and couldn't recommend him highly enough.

Not only is Dr. Shamsher great, his front desk staff is very responsive and helpful. I have a lot of questions and they are always happy to answer them. I am aware of how tough this industry is, and how spread thin vet techs and veterinarians are, but they go out of their way to be supportive regardless and I am really grateful for that.

-This vet is very inclined to prescribe medication that isn’t needed.
-The prices are also pretty high in comparison to other vets.
-The front staff have always been available to help and the vet will come and talk to you about your concerns after seeing your pet.
-They also do follow up calls after your appointment.

Brought my 1 year old cat because she was small for her age and had an ongoing, sporadic sound when breathing. Of course we went to trusty Google and it was suggested it get looked at, could be anything from allergies to heart issues. They weighed her, tried to listen to her lungs and heart but she scratched the doctor so he did not persist.... She has never scratched anyone so she was very scared.
The doctor did not have much to say, just that she was a small cat and that was ok. He said we could try antibiotics for the breathing issue and also suggested an immune booster paste. I have had a

Dr Shamsher is one of the few vets that I trust with my animals. I feel like my animals are well taken care of everytime I have to bring them in, and his prices are very fair compared to other vets I have been to in the past. His team is friendly and welcoming, and they all do an excellent job with educating and walking me through my concerns as well as the aftercare of my animals each visit.

We love Dr. Shamsher & all staff at Willoughby Animal Hospital. Prices are fair, and even more important, it's very clear the doctor and staff really care about animals and are very knowledgeable. When our pup needed vaccinations, he gave our little guy a heartfelt hug and said "I'm so sorry for the pain I caused you". They always make time for us to explain procedures and medical issues in detail so that we can make informed choices. They give great advice over the phone which sometimes saves the cost of unnecessary appointments for minor issues, and every time I've asked for last minute appointments

Absolutely love taking our dog, Yukon, to Willoughby Animal Hospital. As a rescue, she is highly strung and extremely nervous to have her nails clipped, to the point of needing sedation. Dr.Shamser and the wonderful staff have worked with me on this, and the kind way they treat Yukon is wonderful. We’ve gone from Yukon needing full sedation to… medication which calms her down, without putting her out. Her dew claws have been a problem since we adopted her and we finally have a way to help ease her fears. Dr. Shamser and staff are so loving with animals! Recommend them anytime, for

We have been going to Dr Shamshir for over a year now and we are so happy to have him as our vet. He has performed several surgeries and does all our puppy vaccines and vet checks. Pups in pics were born by c-section - one pic is right after birth and the other at 3 weeks of age. He is very knowledgeable and professional and is excellent with the dogs. We highly recommend him!

We brought our Charlie (doggie) there the other day for the first time. He needed a dental checkup. To our dismay, he needed dental surgery. Shamsher Ghatorha took such amazing care of our Charlie. And Michelle was great as well! We will go back when needed for sure!

After visiting 2 other vets in Surrey and Langley we were disapointed at how dirty and disorganized they were. Willoughby Animal Hospital is beautiful, the calibur of the office is what you would expect from your own Drs office, very clean! Secondly Dr Shamsher is FANTASTIC he was so patient with all our questions about our new rescue dog, and didn't push any unnecessary medications on us like the other place.

Best Vet I have ever been to! Dr Shamsher was my vet in Surrey and was so happy with his excellent care of my pets I now travel to Langley just so my pets can continue to see him. I know of at least 2 of his other clients from Surrey do the same!
