Did you know we see baby-jaguars?! 🐆
Just kidding, although Miss Jagadamba looks just like one!
Jaga is 4 year old Bengal cat - and we absolutely love her!

If you have a pet at home that isn't a dog or a cat (we don't see human-children👶) please give us a call and we can advise you of the pet-care options we offer.

Veterinary Technicians for the win! While we may not be able to diagnose, do surgery, or prescribe medications, we do have tons of knowledge hidden in our brains! Has your pet ever had a Librela or Solensia injection? A**l gland expression? Sutures removed? Chances are that was a technician appointment. Give us a call at 250-758-3985 to book!

We are very lucky to have two veterinarians who can perform sonography in-clinic!

An ultrasound (also called sonography) is a safe, painless imaging test that uses high-frequency sound waves to create real-time pictures or videos of organs, tissues, and blood flow inside your body. It does not use radiation, making it completely non-invasive.

Should your pet require an ultrasound, please give us a call at 250-758-3985 to schedule an appointment with one of our vets!

Caution! As we approach summer, it's getting warmer out there! 🌞
Leaving pets in hot cars can be dangerous and life threatening. Even on mild days the temperature inside a car can rise quickly! Pets, and especially dogs are highly susceptible to heat stroke.
Some signs of heat stroke may include: excessive panting, drooling, lethargy, vomiting, and diarrhea.
Educate yourself and others this summer!
Check out the link below for an article from the BC SPCA

https://spca.bc.ca/news/do-not-leave-animals-in-hot-cars/

If you believe your pet is experiencing any of the signs of heat stroke, please call us right away!
We will always do our best to accommodate emergencies.
We can be reached at 250-758-3985. 📞

Stay safe this summer! 🌞

Work it ladies! The devil wears Pawda here at Nanaimo Veterinary Hospital, and we love seeing our patients strut their stuff (aka their mobility) down the runway (aka hallway). If you notice your pet's exercise habits or gait changing, give us a call so we can make sure that they are runway-ready. 👠
