Our comprehensive veterinary care includes wellness exams, preventive treatments, and chronic condition management. We emphasize early detection through regular check-ups and tailored vaccination schedules. Our approach combines advanced diagnostics with personalized treatment plans to address each pet's specific health needs.
Surgical Procedures
We perform various surgical interventions from routine spay/neuter to complex soft tissue and orthopedic procedures. Our surgical suite features modern equipment for sterile environments and precise outcomes. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork and continuous monitoring ensure patient safety throughout the surgical process.
Dental Services
Our dental care addresses periodontal disease, tooth extractions, and oral health maintenance. We utilize digital dental radiography for accurate diagnosis and perform professional cleanings under anesthesia. Preventive education helps owners maintain their pets' oral health between visits.

In-house digital radiography and ultrasound capabilities enable rapid diagnosis of internal conditions. These tools help assess organ health, detect abnormalities, and guide treatment decisions. Our veterinarians interpret imaging results alongside clinical findings for comprehensive patient evaluations.

There will never be enough words to describe how sensational this team is. I've been taking my dogs to Andrew and Fiona for years, and I honestly would never want anyone else treating them. They genuinely care… about your pet and your relationship with them. They work with you, and talk TO you...not AT you, to find the best treatment possible. This is truly a top rated team at Oriole Road...if you want to do the very best for your pet, they are your best choice possible. In January I had the worst day a dog momma can have, and I am so, so grateful that they were there for us that day. Receiving

Andrew, Fiona and their amazing staff saved our 3 year old Bullmastiffs life this weekend. She had a very out of the ordinary hard to diagnose pyometra infection. They figured it out in time and brought her in… for emergency surgery to remove it. After 3 days of thinking we were going to lose her she has done a complete turn around and we couldn't be more grateful. Kamloops is so lucky to have you. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts! ❤❤❤❤ Lisa, Evan, Luah and Brody🐕🐕
