What We Do
Report
Alpine Veterinary Medical Centre was opened in February of 2005 in Whitehorse, the capital of the Yukon Territory. It was founded by Dr. Rick Brown and Dr. Kim Friedenberg, colleagues and classmates who have been serving the veterinary needs of the Yukon since 1998/99. We are a mixed animal practice and provide services for a wide variety of species and to a wide geographical area.
Medical Team
Report
Rick hails from the prairie town of Brandon, MB where he graduated with a combined Bachelor of Science degree from the University of British Columbia and Brandon University. He attended veterinary school in Saskatoon and graduated from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in 1998. Rick has called the Yukon home and has been practicing in the north since 1999.
Faq
Report
In general, we like to do an overnight fast for most dogs and cats - this means that they can have their supper the night before, but they shouldn't eat after suppertime, and shouldn't have any water after midnight. Some animals have health conditions that make them prone to low blood sugar levels - if this is true of your pet, your veterinarian will probably recommend a shorter fast before surgery.
Emergency Services
Report
Pet emergencies can often outside of business hours, and Alpine Veterinary Medical Centre offers emergency services to our clients.
