Comox Valley — you are amazing 😍
The response these past few days has been beyond anything we imagined. Thousands of you liked, shared, commented, and reached out to tell us how much after-hours care is needed here. Thank you. 🥰

So here it is: our pre-launch site is now live @ canvasvet.ca

Urgent & emergency veterinary care coming to Comox, December 2026. The science is the medicine; the art is the people.

In case you missed it this spring — a big thank you to CHEK News for helping introduce us to the community. 💛

We're proud to be creating the Comox Valley's first purpose-built, dedicated Veterinary Urgent & Emergency Care Centre — the only independent, 100% Canadian🍁 Veterinary Emergency Centre on Vancouver Island.

Opening December 2026.🤗

More to come soon. For now, here's CHEK's story on what we're building 👇

At Canvas Vet, we believe that to take the best care of your pets, we have to take the best care of our team. 🐾
​Here’s a first look at our team area—featuring a kitchen, quiet rest zones, and a fitness space. We are intentionally building a culture that prioritizes mental health and well-being from day one. Because a supported, healthy team is a team that provides the best care for the Valley. ✨🥰

We are so honoured to have our story shared by CBC News today. 🥰
This project has always been about more than just opening a clinic—it’s about providing a safety net for our Comox Valley and North Island neighbors so no one has to make that stressful drive south in a crisis. Thank you to Maryse Zeidler for helping us share our vision for Canvas Vet!

A new veterinary service offering urgent care on evenings and weekends is slated to open in Comox, filling what many pet owners say is a critical gap for care north of Nanaimo on Vancouver Island.

Exciting news for the Vancouver Island Veterinary Community! 🐾
It’s taken a year of searching for the perfect spot, but we are thrilled to finally share that Canvas Veterinary Centre is officially coming to Comox!

We are currently in the process of creating a 5,500 sq. ft. purpose-built Urgent Care Centre. Our mission is to work with our local clinics: providing dedicated after-hours, weekend, and holiday support for the Valley and surrounding regions.

​Why Canvas?

🇨🇦 100% Canadian & Privately Owned: No corporate umbrellas here. We are staying local and independent.

🤝 Culture-First: We’re building this with a focus on sustainable workflow, mental health, and the art of what we do.

🕒 Opening December 2026: It’s a journey, and we’re still building.

​A little "pardon our dust" note: we’ve attached an initial concept peek to give you a feel of our vibe. Our design team is currently working on the final look, but we couldn’t wait any longer to start connecting with our peers!

​We are starting to connect with potential founding team members. If you’re a Vet, Tech, or support professional looking to be part of a private, community-first practice from the ground up, we’d love to chat. Whether you’re looking for a future change or just want to hear more about our vision for urgent care, let's talk.
