About Pawsitive Vet


Choosing a veterinary clinic is one of those decisions best made well before you urgently need one. Pawsitive Vet works from 1551 Sutherland Ave, close to the centre of Kelowna, which puts it within reach of the downtown apartments and the residential streets that surround them.

General practices handle vaccinations, dental work, spays and neuters, senior blood work and the steady flow of skin, ear and stomach complaints that fill most of a day. What differs between one clinic and the next is how after hours emergencies are covered, whether anything beyond cats and dogs is seen, and how far ahead the routine appointment book runs. Those are the three questions worth asking on a first call to 250-862-2727, along with whether records can be brought over from a previous clinic.

The valley adds problems of its own. Hot dry summers bring heat stress, sore paws on baking pavement and the danger of a dog left in a parked car, while the orchards, parks and trail systems around the city bring ticks, grass seeds and the occasional wildlife encounter. It is worth asking what parasite prevention actually makes sense here rather than assuming that whatever worked somewhere else still applies. For anyone new to Kelowna, getting registered with a practice before the first crisis is the single most useful thing to do, since a clinic that already holds the file can usually fit you in faster.
