Pet-parents, in our experience, are usually seeking qualities such as:

• Solutions informed by experience and focused diagnostics
• Preventions with a history of success
• Time to ask questions, get thorough answers, discuss options, and query recommendations
• A space that makes them and their pet feel comfortable

Viva Vet provides care awarded by the AVC for “outstanding clinical competence and extraordinary compassion.”

We enjoy keeping pets healthy and happy, and pet-parents informed and assured.

Locally owned, we set our appointments with extended time for dialogue. We place high priority on communication.

Our mission, in addition to veterinary medicine, is to empower pet-parents with all the information needed for your own assurances of what’s most sensible and practical for your pet’s care.

Viva Vet is a full service hospital, with dental and surgical suites, plus x-ray and blood work for internal diagnostics.

Our equipment facilitates fast, accurate responses rigorously derived from the facts of your pet’s health. Solutions come from those diagnostics, coupled with over two decades of veterinary experience observing fixes and cures that work.

Although we’re a small practice of just 2057 square feet, almost everywhere there is a floor to ceiling view of the outdoors.

The only exceptions are spaces where natural light doesn’t belong, such as the x-ray room.

The brightness of our practice comes thanks to a veterinary architect who specializes in small spaces, and the impact on pets is very favourable.

It’s not uncommon for pet-parents to advise us of their pet historically feeling anxious during examination or treatment, but then to delight at seeing their pet so calm in our hospital.

We attribute it not only to their ability to see outside, but also to the next-to-zero boundaries pets encounter as they make their way around.

The flow of our facility is also good for the daily energy of our team.

Bringing our all to the care of your pet, we get a hand from the quality of our space.

Viva Vet is a single practice operation and always will be.

We love providing veterinary medicine in a locally owned hospital and, for us, that’s where it ends. Expansion, we feel, would distract us from what we enjoy.

Viva Vet brings deep experience treating dogs and cats of all ages. For young pets, we can get you on the track of preventions to avoid problems. Among elderly pets, as problems might appear, each case is unique, but our years of experience means we’ve seen most situations before. This helps inform the efficiency of our diagnostics, and the efficacy cures.

Viva Vet is centrally located.

Pet-parents find us at 6490 Chebucto road, and they park on Beech and Elm.

There’s a “friendly-neighbourhood,” feeling, perhaps most notable when dogs often insist on popping in just for a hello (and treat) as they’re walking by on their daily outing. Their enthusiasm makes us, of course, equally as happy as them.

If you’d like to try Viva Vet, we are accepting new patients.
