🧡 This is Willow. She is a very sweet little (tiny!) kitten. Willow has shown us what true resilience looks like. After facing a tough couple weeks, she’s proving to be a fighter every single day! With the incredible support of her loving human family, Willow is making strides towards recovery and we are all cheering her on!!

Halloween is fast approaching! We love to see you and your pets getting into the festive spirit with costumes.

A friendly reminder that a lot of pets are nervous and anxious about the noises of Halloween including fireworks, door knocking, doorbells, loud people, etc. Please consider having a safe and quiet place for your pet to relax during the festivities.

Halloween Candy 🍭 is thoroughly enjoyable to humans, but can be very dangerous/toxic to your pets. Ensure that all your treats are placed out of reach of your pets to avoid accidental ingestion.

Join us in taking a moment to recognize our incredible Veterinary Technologists! 🧡💫 They are exceptionally skilled humans who are dedicated to the wellbeing of your family pets. We are so grateful for their hard work and commitment to excellence in veterinary medicine.

Our technologists love our patients and their human families. You have likely had the pleasure of seeing them in the exam rooms or treatment areas helping your pet, collecting lab samples, administering medications and vaccinations, monitoring anesthesia, answering phones, filling prescriptions, taking x-rays.... and the list goes on!

We love our techs. THANK YOU for everything you do. 🥰

Hello 👋 from the 3 founding veterinarians at Island Tides Veterinary Hospital. We are a family built and operated veterinary practice serving the Comox Valley and surrounding communities. Our family approach means that your pet is treated like one of our own. In fact, one of the best parts of our job is building relationships with our wonderful clients and their pets. We love what we do and we love seeing the bond people share with their animals.

We'd love to hear what your favourite part of having a family pet is. Tell us a short story or add a picture of your pet(s) in the comments and let's spread the joy of pet ownership! 🐾

On September 30, we will pause to honour the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation for the children, families and communities who have been affected by residential schools in British Columbia and across the country. It is important to acknowledge the injustices that have been faced by many indigenous communities in the past and present so that we can learn, grow, and make changes that improve the lives of everyone in our community.

🧡

Island Tides will be closed during the weekend (September 28-30).

Does anyone else feel like this time of year is the hardest on the immune system?! 🦠 A large number of our team has been "under the weather" the past few weeks and many of us are taking time at home to recover and keep the sickness away from the rest of the team and our clients.

We are SO GRATEFUL to our clients for having patience with us during our short-staffed days. Thank you for being understanding when you may have had to wait longer to be seen for an appointment or if we've been a little delayed in preparing your pets' special orders and prescriptions.

🍂Wishing you a healthy fall 2024 season. Stay safe out there!
