Introduction to our Veterinary Clinic

Arbutus West Animal Clinic provides veterinary services for the Kitsilano-Arbutus area and the west side of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. We work with you to provide the best possible care for your dog, cat, rabbit, ferret, guinea pig, hamster, gerbil, mouse, rat, hedgehog, degu, chinchilla, or sugar glider.
We recognize that while we are veterinary care experts, you are your pet’s expert. We listen to you to understand you and your pet’s needs, and we help you make decisions about your pet’s health care.
While tests are often valuable in assessing your pet’s health condition, we don’t recommend testing or other expensive procedures every time your pet has a problem. Our policy is to inform you about the various options and then respect the choice that you make.
Our conventional and holistic approach to veterinary care
Our approach is both conventional and holistic. We use the best diagnostic tools, medications, and other treatments that conventional veterinary medicine has to offer. We also work with herbal and nutritional supplements, or a combination of conventional and natural treatments.
A holistic veterinarian understands the importance of considering not just a particular ailment but an animal’s health as a whole. We’re committed to your pet’s overall health and well-being. When we provide routine care and treat problems as they come up, we examine your pet for any other problems, and we discuss your pet’s diet and any concerns you may have. As your pet grows older, we can offer specific recommendations to help your pet age more comfortably.
Our welcome to new clients
We consider it the highest compliment when you choose us to provide health care for your pet. Our New Clients page has information for people looking for a veterinarian for their animal companions.
Our promise to you
We will provide quality care so that the animals you love can live long, healthy, and happy lives.
Sincerely,
