KELOWNA'S VERY FIRST VETERINARY HOSPITAL
Dr. Ellen Nicklassen, DVM
Owner
Our clinic believes in compassionate care while practicing modern veterinary medicine with traditional values. I understand the fear, stress, and anxiety in pets. We are committed to reducing the feelings of stress in our patients which in return will result in a better experience for all involved — including pets, owners, and the veterinary team, by becoming a certified fear-free clinic by 2023. All of our staff receive continuing education every year to ensure that our health care is current with new ideas and research.

“Great experience. Everyone is friendly and knowledgeable and prices are fair. I had to come in twice within a couple days of each other for vaccinating my cat. I forgot to get the rabies shot the first time so I had to come in again. The vet noticed this and gave me the discounted rate I would have gotten if I had gotten the rabies shot for the first appointment instead of having to pay the extra cost associated with another visit/appointment. This is what I call awesome customer service. Zoë is happy too."

"Ok! I don’t know that I could express my appreciation for this clinic! When no one else (in kamloops even) could help me with a c section for my dog, this vet went out of her way to make it happen…. THEN when she went into labor 3 days before the scheduled C-section…. They were ready when I arrived and then let me support my girl and her puppies when they entered the world! The second set of hands are n her puppies were mine! WHAT AN EXPERIENCE!
THANK YOU! I can’t give you enough reasons to come to this clinic… my girl is healthy and happy and so are all 3 pups!! She healed extra well - because they have co2 lasers for surgeries…
Just all around RAVE for this clinic! I will be back."
