We bring decades of experience finding the right cures to the right problems. You can read more about our diagnostic processes HERE.

Viva Vet helps pet-parents maintain their pet’s best care. We provide solutions, preventions, options, education, answers, recommendations, surgery, dentistry, internal medicine, laboratory diagnostics, x-ray and more. The Atlantic Veterinary College has presented Dr. Olafson with its award for “outstanding clinical competence and extraordinary compassion.” She has been helping pet-parents keep their pets happy and healthy for twenty years. You can see Viva Vet’s full suite of services HERE.

Your human/animal bond is friendship for the sake of friendship, warranting words like “special” and “precious,” which we honour with celebration and appreciation – hugs, kisses, pats on the head, friendly voices and glances of adoration!

Pets get a feeling of familiarity from natural light. To allow pets that sense of their bearings, we ensured views of the outdoors throughout our hospital, front to back.  Pets, pet-parents and staff enjoy a unique calm because of our bright, simple, open-concept design provided by a world-renowned veterinary architect who specializes in small spaces like ours. You can see more about our space HERE

To give time for your questions, for your pet to gain familiarity, and for our vets and staff to keep a healthy and engaging spirit of excellence everyday, everywhere in our hospital, you can rely on us to go a friendly-neighbuorhood, locally owned pace. For your pet’s best care, we move at the right speed.

We see three opportunities to help pet-parents stay frugal without sacrificing best care. For one, we pass on any and all simple but effective preventions that deter problems from starting. Two, if your pet happens to suffer a problem, we bring decades of success determining the most focused, efficient diagnostic paths to cures. Third, so you and your pet enjoy life, worry-free, we don’t aim for band-aid solutions that might bring you back. We target the long-term fixes.

Despite your pet’s more powerful nose, it relies on you to sniff out vet care. You advocate and confirm. You perform the “sniff-test,” for which you need clarity. Viva Vet’s owner and head-veterinarian has been delighting pet parents with her communication skills for two decades. So that you enjoy command over your pet’s care, Viva Vet includes abundant clarity with all our services.
