TEAM

The health and wellbeing of animals is our lifework

We love animals–though our team is truly kind to humans too. We saw a need in Whistler for after hours and weekend veterinary emergency care. Whistler is full of well-loved dogs and cats who who deserve excellent, professional, and compassionate emergency care no matter the time of day or night.

 Like Whistler's emergency hospital for humans, once we have stabilized critical patients, we transfer them to the nearest Level 1 Trauma Centre and critical care unit (Canada West Veterinary Specialists) in Vancouver for ongoing critical care and support. We refer to specialists when advanced diagnostics or management is recommended, and we encourage follow-up with the local family veterinarians for less critical cases, so our work is always collaborative. We’re a team working to make animals’ lives better. We always make our recommendations from the standpoint of the patient's best medical interest.

Our team has advanced emergency training and experience that enables us to intervene before the damage is irreparable. We work fast and effectively to save animal lives.

Our team is not only filled with animal lovers but also with healthy living enthusiasts. We support them in their active lifestyles and continuing education – the happier, healthier, and more balanced they are in life, the better, more compassionate service they can provide to local animals in need.

Veterinary medicine is our work; giving back to society and the beautiful animals in it is the core of our clinic. Through education, leadership, and outreach, we protect animal health and welfare, prevent suffering, promote health, and encourage conservation of animal resources. If the animals are healthy and happy, we are doing our jobs. That is the measure of our success.
