Kelowna’s first vet hospital · Independently owned since 1946
At Kelowna Veterinary Hospital, we understand that saying goodbye to a beloved companion is one of the most heart-wrenching decisions a pet parent will ever face. Our compassionate team is here to guide and support you every step of the way—with honesty, empathy, and the gentle care your pet deserves. We are here to offer second opinions or alternative perspectives if you’re unsure or need reassurance. These are incredibly difficult choices, and we want you to feel supported and confident in your decision, no matter where you are in the process.
