The Vancouver Public Library will be hosting a Writer's Showcase on Saturday, July 9 from 2:30 - 4:00 pm.

Leo Burstyn will be presenting “You May Call Me Lance”, at the Montalbano Family Theatre. His lovely book detailing the story of Arbutus West Animal Clinic's cat, Lancelot, is engaging and not to be missed. The book will be available for sale at the event.

The theatre is located on Level 8 at the Central Library (350 West Georgia Street).

We hope you can make it.

Earlier this month Dr Uri raised over $30,000 for humanitarian charities working to support the people of Ukraine in their struggle for survival.
Unfortunately animals are also suffering from this terrible conflict. Here is a fundraiser for a Kyiv animal shelter that is struggling to care for an overwhelming tide of injured and starving pets who lost their humans. We have it on good authority that this is a legitimate fundraiser and would like to encourage our clients to make a donation to help care for these creatures who were soneone's beloved companion just 2 months ago.

LOST KITTEN!

A lost cat was brought to the clinic today by a kind member of the neighborhood.

She was found near MacDonald and West 16th. She is quite young but we are unsure what age. She is in heat.

She is safe and in the care of the lady who found her.

If you know the owner or if this is your little one, please contact us on 604-736-6701.

Thank you! 🐱

IMPORTANT UPDATE!

We are officially stocking up for the Christmas and New Year!

Please contact the clinic to place an order for your pet's food before October 31st!

Due to the ongoing delays and stock shortages we encountered this past year, we highly recommend ordering enough to keep your best friend happy (and with a full belly) until the end of January!

Please contact us on 604-736-6701 or by email, [email protected], so we can do our best to
avoid any shortages over the Christmas period!

Thank you!

Update! Little Canela's owners have been found and she is safe at home 🥰

Hey everyone!

We have had a little daschund come to the clinic today.

She was found on West 41st and seems to have been lost for a few days as she was very dehydrated and hungry!

She is around 5 to 7 years old from what the vet can tell and is not spayed.

No microchip or tag or collar or anything.

If you have any information please let me know!

BCSPCA has been contacted but we are going to post and try find the owner as well 😊

She is very very sweet!

Thank you!
