Dental Services
Our dental services include cleanings, extractions, and oral health assessments to prevent periodontal disease. We utilize digital dental X-rays to detect hidden issues and provide scaling, polishing, and surgical interventions when needed. These procedures help maintain overall pet health by preventing systemic infections from oral bacteria.
Orthopedic Surgeries
We specialize in orthopedic procedures addressing fractures, cruciate ligament tears, and joint issues. Our surgical options include TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy) and MPL (Medial Patella Luxation) repairs. Post-operative care includes pain management and mobility rehabilitation to restore normal function and improve quality of life for pets with musculoskeletal conditions.
Wellness Programs
Customized wellness plans cover all life stages from puppy/kitten through senior years. Services include vaccinations, parasite prevention, and comprehensive health screenings. Our programs emphasize early disease detection through bloodwork and physical exams, helping prevent serious conditions while establishing baseline health metrics for each pet.
Euthanasia Services
We provide compassionate euthanasia options with both in-clinic and home visit availability. Services include private cremation with memorial options and communal cremation. Our staff offers emotional support during this difficult time while ensuring pets experience minimal stress during their final moments.
Diagnostics
Advanced diagnostic capabilities include in-house blood testing, radiology, and ultrasonography. We perform baseline panels, geriatric screenings, and specialized tests like tonometry for eye pressure. These tools enable accurate diagnoses of internal conditions, supporting timely and effective treatment planning for complex medical cases.

EVERYONE at this clinic is warm and professional. The good Dr takes his time, personally calls you with test results and his post-op care in the clinic is thorough patient and kind! After several difficult experiences at other clinics in Kamloops, it was nothing short of Stellar as difficult experiences with our fur-babies go. HIGHLY recommend this wonderful place!

Since I arrived to BC, 5 years ago, my pets have been visiting Dr. Dhott, the most personable vet I have met in the years I have had pets, and that's a long long while. I trust his advice and know he puts their welfare first. Thank you very much Dr.

I would (and often do) recommend this vet. Dr Dhot is caring and honest. I have grown to trust his opinion and have gotten great care for my dog and two cats.
