ANIMAL POLYCLINIC & KENNELS
Hi Guys, please do not go to this vet, many of my friends including myself, has been there and have banned that vet since then. The owner Dr.Lim Kok Tee is a very irresponsible vet, many dogs that i known have died in his hands due to wrong treatment/medication. There are many cases that the vet gave wrong injection or two same injection at one time, this is how blurr he is....The way that he handle animals is very rough, he is definitely not an animal lover. The charges is expensive, and the information provided by the doctors about the condition/sickness of the animal/pet is very limited. Please DO NOT visit this vet if u want your pet to recover, it will only be WORSE if you bring your pet to him. They will mistreat your pet and they will only ask you to bring your pet back if the medication is finished and they will keep asking you to buy extra vitamins/supplements that your pet doesn't need. This is definitely the worst vet in Malaysia. So many friends have told me this quote after they lost their beloved pet there : " It is like paying to have your pet killed". PLEASE SHARE IN THE FORUM IF YOU HAVE ANY BAD EXPERIENCE WITH DR.LIM KOK TEE ANIMAL POLYCLINIC AND KENNELS.

I have a few questions.

Is there a vet that I can go just by train?

Can we just go to a vet and buy medicines?

I have a kitten with a flu that is getting more severe by day and I don't drive. My parents are too busy to take me.

just visit Dr. S.Vellayen,he ask me to pass this message here:

"Associate Prof. Dr. S.Vellayen will be on leave to overseas from 10th december 2010 to 10th January 2011 (1 month away).
If anyone of the client want any medications, please call and take it before 10th december 2010.."

Where are you staying?
No you cant just go to the vet and buy medicine.
You must bring your cat with you.
If your kitten has flu and is getting worse, I suggest you immediately bring your kitten to the vet.
Kitten has low immune system as they have not been vacinated yet.
If not treated, your kitten can die from flu.
If you are staying around cheras area, I might be able to help you

Haha yeah I just came from Dr Vellayen, who also asked me to put the message on.

Would definitely recommend him, esp for those with reptiles. I went to Animal Medical Centre when my little RES got injured. So not helpful, and actually found it funny that I wanted medical attention for my little guy. Never again.

I went to see Dr Vellayen just now because I was worried the little RES had an infection, and the bigger RES had psych issues (keeps biting everyone). He's very gentle with the animals and explains everything. And all the meds and vitamins etc only cost me RM55 (with 2 syringes thrown in for free for me to feed my sick turtle). Only downside is that his place is difficult to find, and he's only open at nights on weekdays!

Hey, just wanna share my good experience with Dr. Prem from Hand n Paws, Aman Suria

First time i went there was just to scout out where the reptile vets are before purchasing a snake, and take a look at the clinics so I know where to go in case of any emergencies. She was very willing to talk and explain many things about snakes and reptiles to me, and really took the time to advise me about keeping a snake for the first time. I was surprised that she was so patient and willing to stand there, ask me about my concerns, and share so much info with me even tho I was just dropping in to look-see.

One time I called the clinic to ask a question when my snake suddenly became inactive for over 3 weeks, took longer than usual to shed and didnt defecate... again, Dr Prem was patient and gave me lots of info and tips. I asked her if I needed to bring my snake in... she said it wasnt necessary even tho i really wanted to, and she never charged me any consultation fees even tho she spent so much time asking me questions about the snake's weight, condition, behavior etc and telling me what to do.

Today I dropped by the clinic to meet her... she prescribed some natural supplements to help my snake's digestive system. Again, she didnt charge consultation, and the course of supplements only cost me rm5!

Recommended vet.... am very happy with her services and will definitely go back to her in future

Recommended Vet For me :

St Angel
No. 56, Jln Bandar 13,
Pusat Bandar Puchong,
47100 Puchong,
Selangor
Phone : 03-5891 1884

Just called Palm Spring Vet, I think I spoke to the doctor there, he was articulate and sounded like he knew things. However, to my disappointment, as a vet, he's doesn't seem to very empathetic over the phone. I had called to inquire if he had the facilities to treat my cat who might have a heart problem, I prod further when he said yes just to make sure. I sounded anxious over the phone as was feeling distress. I suspect he took it personally and probably got offended as my subsequent call on if he could make a house call, he told me to call elsewhere as it was raining. I had suggested he could come when it stops, but he says he would be closed then (which was a good 2 hours away). I thought it was a lame excuse to say it's raining so he can't come to see my very ill cat.

What made me draw the conclusion that he was taken aback by my question was because he did not even ask where my cat's location was, my place was less than 1 km away from his clinic, but I have great difficulty bringing my poor cat out as he hates strangers and doesn't like leaving the house. He normally screams and fights when I try to put him in the carrier, so I rather I not stress him out unnecessarily due to his current state. When he suggested I go elsewhere, he said like Bangsar, I had just told him my issue about ferrying my cat around, so his flippant suggestion shows that he doesn't care, (probably trying to be sarcastic) since I prodded about his facilities and stating my concerns. Note, that he suggested Bangsar without even knowing my cat's location, there were much nearer vets to his place than Bangsar that would likely to have the same facilities as him.

I had asked him the question on facilities as I had been to several vets who did not have the facilities to treat my cats and late dog, like xray, ecg and other surgical procedures. I really did not want to ferry my very ill cat from clinic to clinic, hence had call to make sure. I had called other vets earlier at further locations, they were more empathetic and kind in handling the situation. The Palm Spring vet just kept mum when I asked him a question, as if afraid in giving away free consultation over the phone. My first encounter of this vet is very bad, I will not go to him unless I can't help it. I'd try those who are slightly further away but showed more concern over the phone and shared some simple advice. As I am done writing the comment, the rain has stopped, and it's 1.5 hours to closing.

I have decided to wait a while and bring my ill cat to the Animal Hospital in KL, am more assured there that they would have more complete facilities, reduces the risk of having to relocate him to another clinic.

Added on November 15, 2010, 6:30 pmI've sent my cat Damansara Animal Clinic before when he got a scratched in the eye, my cat was treated and then we thought it would be better to keep him away from our other cat who scratched him while he's nursing his eye. I am grateful to the vet for taking my cat in last minute for boarding, even though I didn't have the vaccination records. It saved me a lot of hassle as I had a flight to catch in 3 hours (so it was a mad rush when the emergency came up). That showed the flexibility by the vet and her concern for the animal, thought the receptionist was very insistent on the vaccination records as prove (she was not the friendliest person). Family members who visited my cat saw that he was the only cat most of the time in boarding for 1 week and is safely separated from other cats in transparent cages when there were.

The doctor doesn't seem to be a super huggy cat lover, but kudos to her for showing flexibility in times of need. That's a very important trait of a caring doctor.

Added on November 16, 2010, 2:15 amSpeaking of Baby Pets, I've been there before once after discovering UPM vet was closed. The vet there was extremely helpful in explaning my late dogs heart condition. He drew out for me the heart diagram on his white board behind the door. As with all vets I've been, he recommended a low sodium diet for my dog, however I was not to keen on the low sodium but pricey dog food. To my surprised, he whipped out his "Bible" (I mean his text book) and copied down a home cook low sodium recipe for me. I never forgot this very helpful vet, unfortunately, Sri Kembangan is really far from my place. And yes, the "lecture" I got on dog's heart was free, he didn't slap me with a huge bill despite the long consultation. I recall the charges were competitive with UPM.

Added on November 16, 2010, 3:25 amI'm looking for a regular vet for my cat, but I just realized there are so many in the vicinity of my home! I used to go all the way to Right Angle, Sec 14 before discovering this forum. Funny how I used to wish that there were more vets in PJ, and when I got what I wished for, now I wish I knew which one to go to.

I don't see any comments here on Healing Pets in Damansara Jaya, had read good reviews on the doctor on other sites (other than friendly, committed to his emergency services). Frankly, I do not mind if the doctor is not super friendly to my pet, but more importantly is generous in dispensing advice, highly competent, reliable and of course reasonably priced. There were also good comments on Philos in Sec 17. Quite a few on Hands & Paws here. Some on Animal Health Centre @ Ara. There's also Kristy's Ark but I find only lukewarm respond. Like when choosing a GP/Specialist for myself/family, I'd check the credentials of the doctor first. The only vet that stated it I found so far was Animal Health Centre @ Ara, I was very impressed to know that one of the vets there is a visiting doctor at PAWS. I am very sympathetic towards homeless animals & had recently been to PAWS for a matter related to it. Torn between HP@DJ and AHC@Ara now, HP@DJ for convenience and reputation of reliability in emergencies, AHC@Ara to support doctors who are out to help homeless animals.

What would you suggest based on your experience with the vets I had just mentioned?

On an unrelated matter, I have this impression that there are vets out there who didn't choose veterinarian science as their first choice of studies in the Malaysian public uni application, but got placed in the course somehow and ended up as vets out of practicality, not passion. One important criteria I expect from a doctor is to have a desire to help those in need, before the financial and social incentives of having a Dr. in front of their name.

anyone can recommend me a good vet for my 10 weeks gsd puppy. i'm staying in shah alam sec 13. i went the vet in sec 13 and had mixed feelings there.

firstly, i didnt see anythin in the premises which i can related to dog, it looks as though is 100% cat's vet. so i was curious with their experience with dogs.plus one off the female vet(trainee i think) was like EEEEE anjing and push the task of vaccination of my dog to another vet. that made me slightly disappointed with her reaction when she is a vet.

so i'm looking for another vet where i can bring my pup on a regular check. i dont mind driving 20 km or so if i need to as i would prefer a good service.

p.s: need 3rd vaccination in 4 days

I wanted to share my experience with Dr Susanna Brida Hoffherr from Asia Paws (chk her website www.asiapaws.com). She's a certified conventional vet but at the same time practise animal acupuncture as an alternative treatment.

She offered valuable tips and information on cats which none of any vets I met can give. She also does house call. For those looking for an alternative treatment (non chemical), pls contact her. You will be surprise how much we don't know about cats or dogs.

Hi all,

Do you have any vet recommended for treating rabbit near section 17 PJ?
Pls help. TQ

i do agree that Dr Chan is not a good vet, having said this after a bad experience with my bunny there. My bunny having malocclusion since he is a baby therefore incissors trimming is needed from time to time. Usually i send him to Hands N Paws for check up and stuffs but because of the long queue there i decided to try on Dr Chan after strong recommendation by my friend. I called him beforehand to make an appointment.

When i reach there, without asking anything about my rabbit or check on it he said : 'just leave the cage on the floor.', i looked around, there is 3-4 baby chihuahuas running around in the clinic, therefore i decided to put my cage inside the playpen which was empty by the time. The second sentence he said was :' come and pick it up by 5pm'. I thought he would explained the procedures and the findings of the checkup when i pick my rabbit up later so i left.

When i picked up my bunny that evening, guess what he said ? 'RM 58 please, thats all, not even wanted to speak another sentence from his precious heavy mouth, i asked about the bunny's condition and he is not so willing to answer, therefore i left and swore that i would never go back again. The story not yet ended here.

The next day when i check on my bunny's incissors that he trimmed, i found out one of it is broken and the remaining hanging on the bunny's gum, he is having difficulty eating so i have to send it to the vet without question. I lost my trust on Dr Chan and therefore i went back to Dr Mervin in Hands N Paws. i was so ashamed when he helped to pull out the broken teeth and charged me nothing. i was scolding myself for being stupid for not able to wait to consult Dr Mervin in the first place.

1 month later i found mites on my rabbit who never go out except to the vet clinics, guess we all know how it get infected. P/S : we staying in condo and there's only 1 animal at home.

BTW, end of experience sharing. Anyway i highly recommend Hands N Paws but do make an appointment before going. Their good service and trustworthiness worth the waiting though.

Hi Jocall,

Can i have the address for Hands N Paws?
