Central Valley Veterinary Hospital

Kane Road sits in Glenmore, the run of family neighbourhoods on the valley floor between downtown and the hillside campus corridor to the northeast. Central Valley Veterinary Hospital is at 1940 Kane Road, in a building shared with several other businesses, which is common enough in the small commercial pockets that serve this part of the city. It is central in the practical sense, reachable from downtown, Dilworth, Wilden and the north end without fighting the worst of Highway 97.

Before a first appointment it helps to have your animal's history to hand, including previous vaccinations and any medication, and to ask whether files can be transferred from a former clinic. Further detail sits at centralvalleyvet.com. Summer in Kelowna brings its own problems for animals, from hot pavement and parked cars to ticks picked up along the Mission Creek greenway and the hillside trails above town, so it is worth asking what preventive care makes sense locally rather than assuming that whatever worked somewhere else still applies here.
