About Us
Report
The original Kelowna Veterinary Hospital was opened in 1946 near the Apple Bowl. It was eventually rebuilt at its current location in 1981 by Dr. Barbara Coughlin, who had taken over the practice in 1977. She cultivated a solid small animal hospital that is the foundation of what we are today. Dr. Ellen Nicklassen began working with at Kelowna Veterinary Hospital in 2000 as an assistant.
Dentals
Report
Oral health is a very important aspect of keeping your pet's overall health in good shape. A dental performed in a veterinary clinic is done under anesthesia so that your pet is relaxed, pain free, and unaware of what is happening. During the procedure, professional dental tools are used to scale (scrape off) plaque and bacteria from the exposed teeth as well as below the gum line.
Exams
Report
This type of exam looks at a specific problem with your pet, such as an ear infection, skin irritation, a wound, a soreness, or spear grass embedment. The doctor takes a close look at the afflicted area and prescribes treatment for the presenting problem. The more information you have about the incident, the better the doctor can assess your pet.
Laser Therapy
Report
Our Cold Laser is a Class IV laser, meaning that it has been approved for use in the medical field. There have been and currently are many studies looking at the effectiveness of such a therapy. The research shows many benefits, with a low risk of side effects. This therapy uses a Class IV low-level laser to treat a variety of conditions by encouraging the cells of the body to heal.
Catnip And Cats
Report
We've all seen what happens when a cat is given catnip. They sniff and lick it, rub their faces in it, and then log roll their whole bodies through it. Cats seem to enjoy this process, and appear to be in a mild state of intoxication afterwards. But how does this happen? The active compound in catnip that causes these behaviors is called nepetalactone, and it only induces the rubbing behavior when smelled, but has no effect if ingested.
