Veterinarians

The veterinarians at St Vital Veterinary Hospital are a very committed group, who work together as a team to provide empathetic, quality health care for the pets that share our lives. In a typical day, we may diagnose pet health problems, provide preventive health care through wellness testing and vaccination, prescribe medications for pets suffering from infections or illnesses, interpret laboratory and radiographic results and perform a variety of surgical procedures. Providing compassionate end of life care is also of utmost importance for our veterinary team. Our SVVH vets are very concerned with the health of the family and are quick to advise if there is any potential risk of transmission of disease from your pet. We treat your pets as we would our own!
