Visiting Viva Vet, pets receive independent, veterinarian owned and operated care Awarded by the AVC for “Outstanding Clinical Competence and Extraordinary Compassion.” Pet-parents receive appointments extended with extra time for informative dialogue giving you total command over your pet’s most sensible care.
Extended Appointments
We set the pace of our appointment schedule with extra time.
You get unrushed opportunity to ask questions, receive comprehensive answers, discuss options and recommendations, and possess your own assurances of your pet’s sensible, practical care.
Single Practice Operation
None of our directives come from offsite. All is local, in-house and only in direct response to the exact needs of our clients and their pets.
Full Service
Viva Vet provides full service veterinary medicine with dental and surgical suites, plus x-ray and blood work for internal diagnostics.
Our equipment provides fast, accurate responses derived from the facts of your pet’s health.
Solutions result from those diagnostics, coupled with our over two decades of veterinary experience with fixes and cures that work.
Decades of Experience Treating Dogs and Cats of All Ages
Viva Vet brings decades of experience treating dogs and cats of all ages.
For young pets, we, for example, get you on the track of preventions that help avoid problems.
If a problem does arise either with a young or elderly pet, we’ve seen most situations before.
Our experience informs the efficiency of diagnostics, and the efficacy cures.
Incremental Diagnostics
Rarely does a case require a wide array of tests at Viva Vet. Based on experience and the observable facts, we start with only the most likely cause. Yielding a result, you’re onto the cure. Sometimes there’s not harm diagnosing with the cure itself. If it works, you know you’ve found the problem, and you’ve already started the solution.
Nurturing Space
From roughly eighty percent of our 2057 square foot space , pets get a view of the outdoors, including in our kennel and treatment areas. They can see the sky down to the sidewalk they came in from.
Going from front to back, they encounter no doors. Pets always know their bearings in our practice and so feel very comfortable.
Pet-parents comment on their pet’s ease in our areas. They pet welcome treatment more readily when calm.
The quality of our facility also boosts the daily energy of our team.
Bringing our all to the care of your pet, we get a hand from our space.
Centrally Located
Pet-parents find Viva Vet at 6490 Chebucto road, roughly central in the Halifax Peninsula.
