HAPPY EASTER
Because of Easter, we are closed tomorrow (Good Friday) but otherwise open Saturday, Sunday, and Monday as usual. Our regular hours are Monday through Friday 8 AM to 5 PM, Saturday 8:30 AM to 4 PM and Sunday 8:30 AM to 4 PM. Our phone number is 250-339-2511.
After hours, if you are not sure if you need veterinary care, call our main line 250-339-2511 and get connected to smart.vet. There is a triage process. If a vet tech can solve your problem or reassure you, then it’s free. If you need to speak to a vet, you can, but there is a fee for this service.
