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.
