Veterinary Care Legacy in Port Alberni
Alberni Veterinary Clinic served Port Alberni, British Columbia for 22 years, providing dedicated care for pets throughout the region. Our team developed trusted relationships with local pet owners while maintaining high standards of veterinary medicine. After decades of service, we made the difficult decision to close permanently due to health challenges affecting the owner's ability to continue practice. Throughout our operation, we prioritized compassionate care and community engagement. Our closure marks the end of an era for local veterinary services in the Alberni Valley.We worked closely with fellow practitioners at Fantastic Beasts Veterinary Services to ensure continuity of care for all registered pets. While we cannot continue active services, we remain committed to facilitating access to existing medical records. Pet owners can contact info@fbvs.ca for electronic copies of their animals' health documentation. We extend sincere gratitude to our loyal clients and colleagues who supported us through the years. Our legacy reflects a deep commitment to animal welfare and community service in Port Alberni.

Well they are extremely friendly and professional. I brought my lil girl Shih Tzu in for what we thought was a bladder infection and was treated as such. Turns out she had something else go wrong on her insides and unfortunately she died in my arms a little over 10 days after her visit. I feel that I was over charged as I called in the morning on a Saturday and asked if they could get Shadow in. They said yes but they would have to charge me an additional $80 for emergency call. They were not busy and didn't have to "fit" me in. So anyway $400 later and Shadow has crossed the rainbow bridge. Not

Place was clean and free of any dirt or smells. The employees were all amazing and went above and beyond for all of the pets coming in and out. It was Daisy's first visit here and they were so super loving and gentle with her. They were informative and straight to the point. Highly recommend this vet for all your pets needs!

They are Only concerned with pushing drugs on your pet and making money and at no point did they listen to our concerns. Do yourself a favor and drive to parksville or nanaimo

Thank you to the Vet and all staff here. The place is quite busy and they still make time to answer questions, ensure you are informed about your pet's needs, and make recommendations for pet health care prevention planning as well. You're all so lovely to us, thank you for all your hard work.
