From everyone here at Sitka, we want to extend our gratitude to all the beautiful and kind words you expressed about Nancy. We are fortunate to have your support and love during a difficult time.

Our days at Sitka will be changing as we are now going to be closed Fridays. We will still be available Monday-Thursday, 8 am - 4 pm. We apologize if this change causes any inconveniences.

We would like to formerly introduce two new faces to the Sitka family, Dr. Dayna Chetek and Denise. Many of you probably have had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Dayna, as she has been with us for a couple years now. We are grateful to have Dr. Dayna regularly for 2 days a week now. Denise is a Registered Veterinary Technician who you will see both in the office and out on the road.

It is with heavy hearts that we have to post this obituary for our dear friend and leader, Dr Nancy Holling. Our team is more like a family and she is greatly missed and deeply grieved. We are continuing to provide house call visits and plan to keep her vision for compassionate in-home veterinary care going. Updates about the business will follow next week.

At this time, Sitka will not be responding to any comments or questions on Facebook. We understand that she has touched many lives and appreciate all of your support, kindness and condolences. We are sorry for your loss as well.

Celebrate the life of Nancy Holling, leave a kind word or memory and get funeral service information care of First Memorial Funeral Services.

Dr. Holling and Kathleen got a real treat this morning when they met Gershwin. We could write a whole rhapsody (get it? 😉) about what a sweet, fluffy purr machine he was!!

Meet Cloe. Cloe is one of the most well travelled cats we have ever met! She’s visited every province and I’m sure that everyone who has met her has loved her. I mean, how could they not? She was SUCH a good girl for her acupuncture treatment and solensia injection. Her mom, Brittany, was also fantastic and our honourary veterinary assistant this afternoon!
