Three Qualities of Care

Practical Vet-Med
An example perhaps best explains our practical approach to vet care.
If your pet comes with a problem, we don’t recommend a wide array of tests. We begin with just the most likely, based on twenty years experience, and on skillful observation of the facts.
Sometimes too we can skip tests and try using a simple potential cure to diagnose. If it works, you know you’ve found the problem, and you’ve already started the solution.
These are just two examples of the many ways to bring practicality to your choices with absolutely no compromise to care.

Award Winning
Dr. Kristin’s award from the Atlantic Veterinary College originated because of her having returned gravely ill animals back to health and enjoyment of life, who had not been expected to receive that chance.
The AVC awarded her for “outstanding clinical competence and extraordinary compassion.”
She extends that same level of dedication and compassion also to pet-parents by setting Viva Vet’s schedule with time for clear, thorough dialogue. So you get your own assurances of your pet’s most effective care, Dr. Kristin and her team acquaint you with all your best, most sensible options and choices.

Nurturing Space
For the well being of pets, we consulted a top veterinary architect to ensure our hospital has open spaces, minimal barriers, tons of natural light and views outdoors.
The difference shows. We’ve had many clients comment on how uncommonly relaxed their pets feel in our spaces.
Our unique design not only adds to everyone’s calm during a visit, but also helps with treatment.
Trusting our environment, pets extend their confidence and lean into our award-winning care.
