North Peace Veterinary Clinic

North Peace Veterinary Clinic Veterinary care founded in our community, for our community. From its inception the practice has served families, family pets, and the family farm.

The North Peace Veterinary Clinic was established in 1963 by Dr. Peter Cribb, and purchased by Dr. Richard Wood in 1967. In the early years the practice was located in the basement of the Wood family home. Farm calls were many and often cows and horses were cared for in the carport with the blessing of the neighbours. As the needs of the practice and community grew it was obvious more space was ne

eded and the current clinic was constructed in 1974. Growth and expansion dictated an addition to the building in 1989, with several renovations occurring over the years. In the fall of 2013 we opened a large addition to the practice nearly doubling it’s size. A new large animal facility and small animal boarding and hospitalization wards were added. Many individuals and veterinary associates have contributed time, energy and expertise in the expansion and development of the practice over the decades. Today the practice is owned and managed by Drs. Perry and Corinne Spitzer. The veterinary care team consists of many individuals with a broad range of skills and interests in large and small animal veterinary care. Today, as in previous decades, we endeavour to continually provide dependable, available, progressive veterinary care to our clients and patients. Together we are the North Peace Veterinary Clinic, founded in our community, committed to our community, and proud to provide veterinary care for our community.

Work makes working dogs happy! Orson, a Sarplaninac (a breed many of us had never heard of!), came to the clinic for his neuter procedure recently. The Sarplaninac is a livestock guardian dog originating in the Sar Mountains in the Balkans. Orson has a flock of sheep at home that he is very diligent about keeping safe. Sarplaninacs are very large dogs, and Orson weighed 58 kilograms the day of his neuter, at only 1 year old!

Calving season has begun! This bull calf was our first 2025 "baby" born in the clinic. He was delivered by Dr. Perry Spitzer via caesarean. Momma is cleaning him up, as she is getting stitched up, before they go home. This guy was born in cold weather, so he got fancy head gear to protect his ears from freezing for a few days.

While she isn't excited quite yet, Chili has travel plans to the US this summer! Her family is getting organized by having a microchip implanted and ensuring all of Chili's vaccines are done well in advance. If you are planning any international travel with your pet, a microchip at an early age is a great start to meeting cross border requirements. Microchips also have the benefit of reuniting lost pets with their families. Planning ahead alleviates everyone's stress!

As we close out 2024 and look forward to 2025 we are very excited and thankful to officially announce the addition of Dr. Saskia de Jong to our veterinary team! Two years ago Dr. de Jong did a University of Calgary Veterinary Medicine student rotation with us and was introduced to our team, practice and community. After graduation she gained valuable experience in an emergency practice in Calgary and a mixed animal practice in Whitehorse. She is enthusiastic about the Fort St. John community and continuing her career as a NPVC mixed animal veterinarian, with special interests in behavior, rehabilitation, and sport dogs. A warm welcome to Dr. de Jong!!

Paisley came to visit us as she was uncomfortable and urinating more frequently than usual. On examination, Dr. North could feel her full, solid bladder and suspected Paisley had bladder stones that were causing her discomfort and abnormal urination. X-rays confirmed Dr. North's suspicion, and Paisley was taken to surgery to have the stones removed. No wonder she felt better when the multiple angular urinary stones were removed! Lab analysis of the stones determined they are 100% struvite stones. A prescription diet for life to prevent them reoccurring will help keep Paisley happy and healthy!

Abby visited us a few weeks ago for vomiting and diarrhea. Dr. North examined her and prescribed some time, TLC, and supportive medications including an anti nausea prescription. Have to love Abby's thankful expression and hand shake : )

The North Peace Veterinary Clinic is proud to provide veterinary care to the Fort St. John community for over 50 years. From its inception we have served our community providing veterinary care to families, family pets, horses and family farms. Today the practice is owned and managed by Drs. Perry and Corinne Spitzer. Our veterinary care team consists of many individuals with a broad range of skills and passions in large and small animal veterinary medicine and surgery.

The practice has continually evolved with many team members contributing time, energy and expertise in the expansion and development of the practice over the decades. In the early years the practice was located in the basement of the Wood family home. Farm calls were many and often cows and horses were cared for in the carport with the blessing of the neighbours. Continual growth and expansion necessitated the construction of the current clinic in 1974, an addition to the building in 1989, and several renovations over the next 2 decades. In 2013 we opened the latest addition with a new large animal facility, small animal boarding and hospitalization wards.

Today, as in previous decades, we strive to continually adapt to the evolution of veterinary medicine and our community’s veterinary care needs. Our team is proud to continue North Peace Veterinary Clinic’s legacy of providing dependable, available, progressive veterinary care to our clients and patients. Together we are the North Peace Veterinary Clinic, founded in our community, for our community, for over 50 years.
