To celebrate 2018 Vet tech week we created " A day in the life" We followed our hard working techs around and watched as they dealt with multiple tasks and hard times with pets in distress. Watch it here on our Facebook page.

Animal Health and our environment
​at
Ecole Irvine Elementary School

Dr Kinninmonth and poppy the rose crested cockaltiel

We visited a group of grade 4 and 5's to speak to them about animal health and our environment

Lots of great questions from the kids

Speaking to the children about their own pets, highlighting vaccines, proper diet and careful handling of animals to ensure no one gets hurt

Interacting with the animals​

Pure excitement and intrigue from the children as they met with Willow and Sadie the friendly Golden retrievers.
We were joined by the Poco Scouts who helped us in a Teddy bear surgery, x-rays and wound wrapping! A wonderful fun filled educational event that everyone loved!

Say no to "Dr Google"

We utilize our Facebook page to educate our pet parents and by extension your friends and family on the latest issues in animal health and what you can be doing to protect your pet. 
At the clinic we are always available for questions, take control of your pets health with information from our very qualified staff and avoid "Dr Google"

We believe a huge part of keeping your pet in the best health is by working with you to make sure you are always educated and up to date on the when, why and how of animal health. 
We enjoyed very much going out into our community and speaking to the children about animal health. It is very important that we teach our children to respect animals, nature and the environment we live in. We hope that in future practices we will speak to more schools and groups in our community so we may all work together for better health and understanding of the animals in our homes and in our environments.
Port Coquitlam is home to bears, cougars, coyotes, deer, raccoon, skunks and other wildlife. This is why we find these animals in our neighbourhoods sometimes seeking out garbage for food as well as looking for shelter.

It is important that we avoid encouraging wildlife to our properties by removing attractants, such as garbage, fruit, pet food and bird seed and preventing access to areas that wildlife may use as a den.

We live on nature's doorstep and these animals are part of our environment, but they can become pests and unwanted visitors. Help prevent human-wildlife conflict.
