Posted : 7/20/2010 Comments : Dear Mark and staff: I want to thank you all for all the help and support you have provided to us throughout the past 12 years. My "difficult" dogs would not have made it as often as they did without the gentle hand of all of you there. Cinder appreciates all the tenderness you gave her when she came in to visit, whether for shots or traumas. We will all miss you and hopefully when I am down that way I can find the time to come in and say hello. Thank you all again for making our vet experiences a nice experience. Posted By : Chilliwack SPCA Staff and Ivanna Posted : 12/18/2009 Comments : Dear Mark, Thank you so much for your time and expertise in caring for the cats from the hoarding case. We are especially grateful for the service you donated to look after Benny's teeth. Thanks Posted By : Marlene and Brad Posted : 12/16/2009 Comments : To Dr. Steinebach: We are so grateful for your skill as a surgeon and for your professional care of all of our pets. We can see that you not only welcome challenges that are brought to you, but you whole heartedly embrace them. It is impressive to watch the results that manifest from your care. Thank you always. You and everyone at your clinic know how we rely on you regularly. Our pets are very important to us and their care is too. Your attentiveness is very appreciated. Posted By : Lainey Posted : 5/4/2009 Comments : The hospital is awesome. Nice and clean with no "vet office" smell and your staff are so nice. I'll be back. Posted By : L.S. Posted : 3/2/2009 Comments : Dr. Mark....I'm sure you know how great all your staff are, and I have nothing but admiration for all of them, but I have to tell you that Tasha really goes beyond the call of duty in term of patience and helpfulness! I don't know how many times I've called with a question(s) and every time she is friendly, attentive, patient and always gets back to me with an answer(s) if she can't give me an immediate one (which, in fact, she often can). I can't imagine working in any kind of receptionist position, having to deal with the often demanding public, in person and on the phone, day in and day out, but she does it brilliantly. I know she's much more than a receptionist, but I am very impressed with how she handles that part of her job. Posted By : Tracy Posted : 12/9/2008 Comments : Dr. Mark, I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your support and advice over the years in managing Hollywood. I always found your opinion and advice to be fair, fact-based and realistic. I know you may have had your own thoughts on decisions we made, but was always sensitive to where we were as owners and what was possible for us to do or not do with care. I know you truly cared for Hollywood and always had his best interest at heart, and because of that I always trusted your advice and judgement. Take care of yourself and I hope you have an awesome holiday season with your family. Posted By : Derek Posted : 12/2/2008 Comments : Thank you for the professionalism you and your team provided to me. It is the first time I have had to euthanise a pet, and while it was difficult, the staff was very helpful. I was very attached to him; I'm only realizing how much now. Posted By : Audrey Posted : 11/22/2008 Comments : Dear Dr. Steinback and staff: Thank you for taking care of Dingo for me. Posted By : Lynde & Ken Posted : 11/17/2008 Comments : Dear Dr. Mark, Dr. Klein, Melissa, Susan, Natasha, Angela and yes, even Nala..... Thank you so very much for the card regarding Scooter and for your kindness and understanding. We've always considered ourselves fortunate to have chosen Valley Veterinary Services for our cats' health care and felt secure in the knowledge that Comet and Scooter were in capable and compassionate hands. We appreciated not only that, but also your patience, Mark, with the frequent phone calls and consultations (particularly with Comet's Diabetes) and your expert advice over the years. And Melissa, thank you for your cat-sitting. Our world feels very empty and wrong right now with the loss of Scooter - without the furs and purrs of our beloved cats - but we cat take some solace in knowing that, with your help, we gave our feline family the best care we could. We realize these endings aren't easy for any of you, either. You're in this profession because animals matter to you and, as we all know too well, doing the right thing can be difficult. That awareness only heightens the sense of teamwork we've felt through our association with you - and strengthens our admiration for everyone at Valley Vet. Thank you again for all you've done to help Scooter and Comet - and us. Posted By : Kim & Family Posted : 10/29/2008 Comments : Dear Mark, Just wanted to let you know how much we appreciated your kindness and the care you took on such a sad day, when we had to say good-bye to our Teddy. We miss Teddy terribly. He gave us many years of devoted love and companionship. He will be missed for a long, long, time. But once again, thank you so much for your kindness on that day and for the many years of good care you gave our beloved companion. On behalf of my boys, Karl and myself we are very grateful for all you have done. Kind regards. Posted By : Elaine F. (epfoxg@telus.net)
Posted : 10/6/2008 Comments : My cat Bobbin has undergone so much this year...radioactive iodine treatment for hyperthyroidism, dental cleaning and extractions and finally, treatment for chronic renal failure. I would like to thank all of the amazing staff of Valley Veterinary Services, and Dr. Klein in particular, for their patience, and expert care. It is always so clear to see that you have the best interests of my cat in mind. Posted By : Brad/Marlene Posted : 5/17/2008 Comments : Our dog Fergus was brought to your clinic only a few times, as we are from Delta. However, we have always had great service from you and recently we had to make the decision to send Fergus off to "a better place". That decision was made on short notice while we were here again on holidays. You were able to accommodate us and did so with the utmost tendernous and empathy. For that especially we will always be grateful. With heartfelt thanks. Posted By : Sue and Steve Posted : 5/17/2008 Comments : Thank you for all your care and advice these last 4 years in looking after Benny. You and your staff have been wonderful and that is something we well never forget. Posted By : GSRBC (gsdrescue@shaw.ca)

We know our dogs are always in good hands. ~ GSRBC Volunteers Posted By : Norma Posted : 3/9/2008 Comments : Words fail to convey the deep gratitude for your compassion and generosity over my dear dog's passing. Please check the Chilliwack Times letter to the Editor where I sent words of praise for your clinics (Feb.29) understanding. Your kindness is greatly appreciated.

He will be missed by our family forever. But now we know that he is resting in peace and his his spirit, energy and essence still roam around the house. We loved him dearly and did everything we could. Thank you again. Dr. Steinebach you have a team of staff who work from there heart. You are very lucky to have a great crew.

Posted By : Janice/Brian Posted : 12/31/2007 Comments : Dear Mark: ....we would like to take this opportunity to thank you and all your staff for the help over the last 2 years or so. Without you Baylee would not be in the good sahpe and health she now enjoys. Regards. Posted By : Sandy Posted : 11/19/2007 Comments : Dear Dr. Mark: I wanted to say thank you for your help with Lady. The decision I had to make was a very difficult one and I did not make it lightly. I appreciate that you recognized how difficult it was and how sensitive you were with Lady. I also know that these situations are never easy for you or your staff. Thank you too for all the great care you gave Lady during her time in my family.

Posted By : Ron & Lena Posted : 10/12/2007 Comments : We just want to express our appreciation in the honesty & mannerism in the way you handled Bailey last Sunday. We have lost a few dogs already, but have never felt such loss as we do with Bailey, and yet we know it was the best for her!! Posted By : R. & V. Morse Posted : 7/14/2007 Comments : Thank you for your gentle, kind manner in which you care for our beloved pets, Susie, Whiskers and Jack. When we leave your office we know our pets have been taken care of in a professional and caring way. Posted By : H & J Posted : 4/7/2007 Comments : Mark, Dr.McCallum, Kathy, Melissa, Susan, Haley, Lisa: Thank you so much for your care and compassion over the years with our dear Rusty. Our frequent visits, my phone calls, my tears; you were always so accomodating and caring. Mark: Thank you for being there for Rusty at the end. You were so respectful and compassionate. We so appreciated the time you took with us. It made all the difference. Posted By : Sarah and Paul Posted : 2/17/2007 Comments : Thanks so much for the good care you gave to my dog Tippy. While I was so worried about him, your staff put my mind at ease. Thanks for letting me visit during his stay; I know it helped me more than it helped him. When he finally was allowed to come home I was even more worried that I would be able to take good care of him. Again you and your staff put my mind at ease (and thanks for the good written sheet of info...it really helped). Sorry for all the annoying phone calls. He is now completely back to normal. So thanks again for everything! Posted By : Elizabeth Posted : 2/1/2007 Comments : Thank you all for everything....and Sparky thanks you too!!!!! Posted By : Maria, Dean, Joshua and Tag Posted : 2/1/2007 Comments : My Family and I would like to thank you for the care and gratitude that you've shown during a very sad and difficult time in our life. Alf was very special to us and will always be. Thank you for coming to our home and giving us the opportunity to say goodbye to Alf in a most dignified way. I'm sure that Alf probably thinks of you as the number one Vet in all of Chilliwack for not allowing him to suffer; and so do we! Our heartfelt thanks....
