To the business manager, if you would have t aken the time to read my review, you would have noticed that I had called them several times, why would I call them back after the Director Felicia tells me that it wasn't them it had to be my friend or my husband. Your business is just bad, on top of that Boomer came back with a real bad cough which had to be treated. Your people just don't care. If anybody reads this don't bring your dog or cat there.

We have taken two rabbits here and they were very well taken care of. Vets were very knowledgeable and had all the equipment available to help small pets (obviously, but we just had bad experiences in the past with vets who say they are knowledgeable about small pets). They are a bit pricy but worth it to know they are getting great care. The appointments never feel rushed, my husband asks a lot of questions and they are very patient with him. We drive an hour and a half to see this pet hospital. 10/10 would recommend. We've had about 4 different vets working with one of our rabbits and they are all great.

My budgie got extremely sick. I called Pender around 11pm. They told me they were already at capacity. However, when I described how sick my bird was they agreed to see him. The place seemed very crowded for midnight on a Thursday but they still made time for my little bird. I didn't have high hopes for his survival but Dr. Fujimoto-Gomez took amazingly good care of him. I'm 100% convinced that she saved my bird's life. He's still not back to 100% but he's doing much better now thanks to the wonderful staff at Pender.

I came to Pender after my chinchilla had a sudden and serious eye infection. I called and was told to come in (during after hours) but that there would be a 1-2 hour long wait. I waited exactly 2 hours after arriving and was seen by Dr. Fujimoto Gomez, who was extremely kind and helpful and prescribed drops for my chinchilla's eye. She did a full exam on my chinchilla, which eased me. She reassured me and answered all of my questions!
I was also helped by Eric who was also very kind, friendly, and informative. Staff here were great in my experience, and despite the long wait, I understand it was sudden and late at night. My chinchilla is better now too! I would recommend coming here.

They really care about our dog and our dog loves to go to the vet! They offer all reasonable options to help the animal and help you know enough to choose what's best for your fur baby. Thanks Pender people! We love you!

I can't thank Pender Vet Exotics and the staff enough for everything. My hamster took two trips to this vet. The first time was an emergency visit to figure out what was wrong, and the second was unfortunately to put him down as it turned out to be something more serious. Dr. Fedderly was with us both times and gave quick responses to my emails. I recieved the ashes back within a week which was wonderfully packaged and a sympathy card in the mail from Dr. Fedderly. The care in their work is fantastic and I completely recommend Pender Vet.
