✨❄️ This holiday season, we’re celebrating an incredible year of bringing veterinary care to the North!

Looking back, we’re filled with gratitude for the animals we treated, amazing community members we met, and the team members who joined us on this journey. 🐾💙

In Nunavut alone, our clinics made a huge impact this past year:
🐶 332 animals treated
💉 305 rabies vaccines given
🐾 62 animals spayed/neutered

These numbers reflect more than just care—they reflect hope, health, and happiness for the communities we serve.

As we gear up for 2025, we can’t wait to reach even more animals and communities with life-changing veterinary services. Thank you so much to those who continue to support VWB's northern work, which makes these clinics possible. Together, we’re making a difference. 🐾✨
