consultations 

From a simple recheck to a full stem to stern exam, we can provide a quality opinion on any question you have about your pet’s health, welfare or behaviour. We will dedicate a full half hour to you and your pet in most cases. Second opinions are welcome. In very challenging or complex cases, we can arrange consultation with appropriate board-certified specialists either on-site at our clinic, or through referral to other hospitals in Greater Vancouver and beyond.

wellness & vaccines

From young to old, we advocate for an individualized wellness and immunization plan, tailored for each dog or cat that considers its age, lifestyle and risk factors, and avoids over-vaccination. Vaccination is one of the most effective ways to prevent dangerous infectious diseases; therefore, at each wellness visit we will discuss the latest immunization science and make choices to fit your pet's needs. 

sick pet care

Our veterinarians bring more than 20 years of experience in caring for North Vancouver’s pet population. If your pet is ill, we’ll take the time required to conduct a proper physical exam and discuss your and our concerns fully. We’ll discuss diagnostic and treatment options with you, and then put a plan in place to get your friend back on his or her paws. Many cases can be managed with medication at home. More serious cases can be admitted to our well-equipped clinic, or when really necessary referred to other centres for more critical care.

specialist referral

On a case by case basis, we are glad to offer referral to board-certified veterinary specialists who travel to our clinic or practice in nearby facilities in the lower mainland.  These specialties include surgery, dentistry, internal medicine, radiology and more.

facilities

surgery 

Routine spays and neuters, simple and complex lump removals, biopsies and general abdominal surgeries can all be performed in our dedicated and well-equipped surgical suite by our experienced doctors. ​

dentistry

Dental tartar, gingivitis, tooth root infections and bad breath are among the most common problems that we see, and they have a major impact on the health and quality of life of our patients (and sometimes of their owners too). Our vets are equipped and supported by skilled technicians to carry out dental scaling, polishing, digital dental x-rays, dental freezing and extractions if needed, etc. Our patients thank us and their owners for this care on a daily basis!

x-ray imaging

With our state of the art digital x-ray equipment we can acquire high resolution diagnostic images of any body part using X-ray doses that are much lower than old-fashioned film X-rays, or even some other digital systems.  These are easily shared with you, other veterinarians or specialists.

ultrasound

Our own Dr. Bratty has a special interest in diagnostic ultrasound, and can do a full or partial abdominal scan  to advance the diagnostic process for your furry family member. In cardiac cases and in abdominal cases requiring more specialized skills, we can call in a board-certified radiologist to take the greatest advantage of this powerful technology.
