After 3 amazing years with Bowen Veterinary Services and many years at her own mobile practice on Bowen and the North Shore we are saying a bittersweet farewell to our very own Dr. Sandra Madden as she heads into her well-deserved retirement! 🥳

Dr. Madden has been an invaluable part of our team, bringing kindness, empathy and a tireless desire to help the pets of Bowen Island. We can’t thank her enough for her hard work, dedication, and the positive energy she brought to the clinic.

As she steps into this exciting new chapter, we wish Dr. Madden all the best in her adventures ahead—whether it’s relaxing, traveling, or pursuing new passions. 💼 ➡️ 🏖️

Join us in sending her off with lots of love in the comments below! 💬👇
