Homer Animal Hospital in Vancouver offers a range of additional services to support your pet's complete care, beyond our core clinical departments. From on-site dispensing and specialist referrals to hospitalization and travel documentation, we aim to be a comprehensive resource for everything your pet needs.
Our on-site dispensing service allows you to pick up veterinary products, supplements, preventives, and other items your pet needs directly from our clinic. Products are dispensed based on your veterinarian's assessment and recommendations. We carry flea, tick, and heartworm preventives, veterinary nutritional supplements, and supportive care items appropriate for your pet's health needs. Ask your veterinarian at your next visit about what products may be beneficial for your pet. Having these products available on-site means you can leave your appointment with everything you need the same day, without a separate trip or delay in starting a recommended preventive or supportive plan.
Some conditions require the expertise of a veterinary specialist. When your pet needs advanced diagnostics, surgery, or management beyond our scope, we provide referrals to board-certified veterinary specialists in the Greater Vancouver area and coordinate the handoff of your pet's records and history. We remain involved in your pet's care throughout the referral process and are available to discuss specialist recommendations with you.
Hospitalization is available at Homer Animal Hospital for pets who require monitoring and supportive care over an extended period. We provide inpatient care for patients recovering from surgery, managing acute illness, or requiring IV fluid support and close monitoring. Our team checks on hospitalized patients regularly throughout the day, and we communicate with you on updates and progress. We provide a daily update on your pet's status and contact you promptly if there are any significant changes. Discharge instructions and a clear follow-up plan are provided when your pet is ready to go home.
Traveling internationally with your pet requires specific health documentation, and requirements vary significantly by destination country. At Homer Animal Hospital, we provide official health certificates and export documentation completed by our veterinarians. We perform the necessary health exams, vaccinations, and testing based on the requirements you provide. Please bring your full destination requirements to your appointment, including any stopovers, as documentation must be tailored precisely to your travel itinerary.
