SMALL ANIMALS

We are a full-service hospital offering routine preventive health care, elective and emergency surgery, medical diagnostic work and treatment, and hospitalization of sick animals. We are equipped with digital x-ray and digital ultrasound, which allow for excellent visualization of both bony and soft tissues, as well as allowing us to electronically send x-rays and ultrasound images to radiologists and surgeons for specialist opinions. We are also equipped with an on-site laboratory, which allows us to provide blood counts and blood chemistry and electrolyte analysis in a more timely manner than sending to an outside lab. This technology allows us to closely monitor critically ill patients, and also allows us to provide blood test results in emergency and after-hours situations. Our hospital also has an on-site microbiology laboratory, with a staff microbiologist, which allows for faster identification of pathogens so we are able to innate appropriate and effective treatment in a more timely manner. In addition to general medicine and surgery, our small animal veterinarians have special interests in ophthalmology, diagnosis and treatment of diabetes, oncology and chemotherapy, surgical repair of cruciate ligament injury, and dentistry. Small animal emergency service after 9pm and during holiday closure is available through Central Island Veterinary Emergency Hospital. Their address is 6550 Metral Drive, Nanaimo. (They are located across from the Home Depot)

🎃👻 HALLOWEEN PET SAFETY: THE #1 HIDDEN DANGER! 🐾🕷️

Did you know that chocolate and other Halloween treats are among the biggest dangers to our pets during Halloween? 🍫

With candy bowls overflowing and trick-or-treaters coming to the door, it's easy for curious noses and paws to get into trouble!

🧡 Keep your pets safe this Halloween:

🍫 Keep candy out of reach! Chocolate can be toxic to dogs and cats, and sugar-free treats containing xylitol can be extremely dangerous.

🍬 Watch out for wrappers! Candy wrappers can cause choking or intestinal blockages if swallowed.

🍇 Check your treats! Raisins and certain other ingredients can be toxic to pets, too.

🩺 If your pet eats something they shouldn't, contact your veterinarian promptly. Don't wait for symptoms to appear.

Let's make sure Halloween is full of treats, not tricks, for our furry family members! 🐶🐱🧡

From all of us at Petroglyph Animal Hospital, have a safe and happy Halloween! 🎃👻

Polly came in for her Healthy Start spay and ended up finding something extra special while she was here — kitten snuggles with Shannon! 💕 Polly fell in love with Shannon, and the feeling was mutual. Shannon enjoyed those sweet kitten cuddles just as much! 🐾

❤️ Sometimes the best part of the day is a little extra love and a lot of purrs. 😻

🐾💙 Help us celebrate Veterinary Technician Month! 💙🐾

This month, we celebrate the incredible veterinary technicians who are the heart of veterinary medicine.

Your work takes knowledge, skill, compassion, patience, and an incredible amount of dedication. You monitor anesthesia, care for hospitalized patients, assist with surgeries, draw blood, place catheters, educate clients, comfort scared patients, support our veterinarians, and somehow manage to keep everything moving—even on the busiest days.

But beyond the medical skills, we recognize the sacrifices you make. The long days, the emotional moments, the difficult cases, and the countless times you put the needs of a patient before your own.

You advocate for those who cannot speak for themselves. You celebrate the victories, carry the heartbreak, and give every patient the very best care you can.

To our incredible RVTs at Petroglyph Animal Hospital — thank you for your knowledge, your compassion, your dedication, and everything you do for our patients, clients, veterinarians, and each other.

We see you. We appreciate you. And we are so grateful to have you on our team. 🐶🐱🐾

Happy Veterinary Technician Month! 💙
