Congratulations, Dr. Sweet!

We’re proud to share that our very own Dr. Wade Sweet received the PEIVMA Practitioner of the Year Award at the Prince Edward Island Veterinary Medical Association’s Annual General Meeting. Nominations for the award are submitted by pet parents and student volunteers. This award recognizes a member who demonstrates excellence in clinical practice.

We get to see what that looks like every day in the thoughtful care Dr. Sweet gives our patients and the kindness shown to the people who love them. It’s wonderful to see that work recognized.

From all of us at West Prince Veterinary Hospital, congratulations on this well-deserved honour. We’re lucky to work alongside you!

Three weeks ago, Sally Harris suffered a serious brain hemorrhage that resulted in a stroke that has turned her world upside down. After spending five days in the stroke unit in Moncton, Sally has now been transferred to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH) in Charlottetown, where she continues to work through physiotherapy and rehabilitation.
Sally is a dedicated, full-time employee at Community Inclusions. At this time, it's unknown how long she will be away from work as she concentrates on her recovery. We want to help ease some of the financial worries so Sally can focus on getting stronger, one day at a time.
For those who know Sally, you know she has always been willing to lend a helping hand and of course crack a joke and make you laugh in some way!
Sally has been a longtime volunteer throughout Western PEI, whether it was selling 50/50 tickets at the Seniors' Hockey Games at the O'Leary rink or lending a hand wherever the community needed her. She has always been friendly, welcoming and willing to give her time.
Sally is also a proud grandmother of two beautiful grandchildren whom she loves watching play hockey. There are many more hockey games and special memories ahead, and we want to help her get back to enjoying those moments. Now it's our turn to give Sally some of the kindness and support she has so willingly given to others.
What We're Doing:
A group of community members has come together to organize several exciting fundraising packages, with all proceeds going toward helping Sally during this difficult and uncertain time. We plan to kick things off with some wonderful prizes and experiences, including:
A Newfoundland trip for two through Brian MacNevein Tours.(July 3-13, 2027)
A spa getaway valued at $1,000.
One NHL hockey stick (2026-27 game stick used and autographed by Ottawa Senators superstar Tim Stutzle).
More exciting packages and local prizes to come!
Keep an eye on this page for upcoming announcements, prize details and information on how to participate.

Sally has spent years giving her time and kindness to others. Now it's our turn to show her just how much her community cares.Thank you for being part of this effort. Your kindness and generosity mean more than you know.

A little Halloween fun beyond the clinic!

Some of our West Prince Veterinary Hospital team participated in the Trunk-or-Treat event at the Willows Care Home on Thursday! 👻🍬

A big thank you to Boehringer Ingelheim and Elanco! These companies have both generously donated multiple doses of flea and tick prevention to Helpaws St. Lucia for a spay/neuter clinic that two of our staff members will be taking part in.
Selina and Dr. Mavis will be traveling to St. Lucia next week to work with this wonderful organization that will be providing free spays and neuters for dogs and cats.
This will be Mavis' third time going and Selina's first time.
We are very excited to be able to help a lot of deserving animals and their owners.

We’re celebrating vet tech Quinn Chaisson’s 5-year anniversary with our team!

Quinn keeps us laughing and brings plenty of personality to the clinic, but behind that great sense of humour is a dedicated veterinary technician who takes her job seriously. She’s always willing to go the extra mile to ensure our patients receive the best possible care. Her compassion, commitment, and genuine love for what she does make a real difference to the animals and families we care for every day.

Thanks for five years of hard work, dedication, laughs, and putting up with us! We’re lucky to have you on our team - even if you’re probably wondering what kind of circus you signed up for!

Happy 5 years! Here’s to many more!

Happy Veterinary Technician Appreciation Week!

Ever wonder who can draw blood from a wiggly patient, calculate drug doses, comfort worried pets, clean up bodily fluids, and still manage to eat lunch?

Our veterinary technicians do all this and so much more.

They’re part nurse, part detective, part animal whisperer, part mind reader, and occasionally part contortionist. They handle the messy, the stressful, the unpredictable, and the downright gross — all while giving our patients the care and compassion they deserve.

Veterinary medicine would be a whole lot harder without them.

To our amazing technicians, thank you for your hard work, your big hearts, your incredible skills, and for putting up with all the craziness that comes with this job. We appreciate everything you do — even if we don’t always say it between appointments!

Please join us in celebrating our fantastic veterinary technicians this week! They deserve all the appreciation… and probably a little extra caffeine too!
