Welcoming Space

Pets, pet-parents, and veterinary staff all benefit from stress-free design. 

When you bring your pet into a spacious exam room with lots of natural light, your pet feels calm. At Viva Vet, you also know your pet feels calm when out of your sight in our bright and open treatment areas.

Your pet experiences a most stress-free visit at Viva Vet because of our friendly space and pace of care.

Uniquely Nurturing Design

Pet get best vet-med when they, their pet-parents and staff all get inspiration from the environment.

Natural Light

At fearfreepets.com they note that an abundance of natural light reduces anxiety among pets and people.

We searched two years for a space with a clear view of the outdoors, from the ground to the sky.

World Renowned Veterinary Architect

Once we found a pet and people friendly place, we got a sketch from a world-renowned veterinary architect who shares our belief in the importance of a view outdoors for pets. He also brought a career’s worth of veterinary design experience.

Outdoors/Indoors

People and pets at Viva Vet now see the outdoors not just in our reception area, but also in our exam rooms, and treatment areas – everywhere but our x-ray and laundry rooms.

Open Concept for Pets

Pets can sometimes loose a sense of their bearings because of a high number of internal doors and halls. 

Pets at Viva Vet, experience just one internal door. Going through, they enter another natural-lit area where they can see all the way to the back of our hospital. 

Going to the back, they receive another view of the outside. Like upfront, they can see the sidewalk they came in on. 

Trust

Pets relax when they can look outside, and they keep trust for the whole situation. They also feel content in our kennels, watching the world go by.

Pet-parents express surprise and delight at how happily their pets enter our spaces.

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.

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.

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.
