How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Olympic Village Veterinary Clinic

Preventive care

Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.

Compare prescription pricing

Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.

Consider pet insurance

Pet insurance may help cover a portion of eligible veterinary expenses depending on the plan, including accidents, illnesses, and in some cases preventive care. Coverage details, reimbursement levels, and deductibles vary by provider.

We had such an incredible experience with the entire team when we brought in our eight month old pup. Dr. Emily was so amazing and took such great care of him. She took the time to answer any questions that we had and was so patient with our anxious pup through the whole visit. From the moment we walked in the door, the whole team was so helpful. You can tell everyone there loves what they do and is willing to care for your animal as much as you are. I can’t recommend them enough. Thank you for such a great experience!

I don’t how this happened but I thought I was writing a review for a chocolatier in another city. 🤣🤣🤣 Correction: this is a great vet that we always take our beautiful Coco. The staff are super nice and always very helpful. …. Delicious chocolates but overpriced. Or simply I don’t understand good chocolates. Cute mouse chocolates with the tail. Great as a gift.

I cannot give enough positive feedback for the team at Olympic Village Vet! We are SO happy we found them for our pups Billie and Bear. All staff - from front desk to assistants to doctors - are incredible. Kind, patient, and extremely knowledgable. There is full transparency on pricing, and in my experience there have been no surprises this way. In an emergency, they helped direct us where to go, and even followed up afterward despite being seen at another clinic. They really care!! If you are looking for a new vet for your fur baby, do not hesitate to come here. They are an amazing team that are second to none. Many thanks, we are customers for life!

Great clinic and awesome staff! Very thorough exam and they offered multiple options for treatment. Staff were super friendly and perfect with our cat, Fergal. The vet even got right on the floor with him to examine him where he was comfortable. Usually Fergal has no issue going from one room to another, but this time he was too stressed and panicked. Their team handled the situation very calmly and helped me get him back in his carrier. They gave me plenty of time to sit with him until he calmed down before leaving. They’ve already updated his file to ensure that future treatments will be done in the exam room or we’ll be offered a mild sedation before moving him. Couldn’t be more impressed and so happy to have a great clinic in Olympic Village!

Relocated back to Canada in July 2020 after living in North Carolina for several years. In May 2020, my boy Parker (Boston Terrier) who was eight weeks old came into my life. My vet in North Carolina (May- July) was awesome, but changed when I relocated back to Vancouver. Friends recommended Granville Island, but they were not taking new clients. Not having a local clinic, saw me taking Parker to VAC Emergency Clinic for a stomach bug. It was here, that recommended Dr. Sarah Armstrong and her newly opened clinic. Parker has been a patient there since September 2020 and I have no regrets. Parker loves coming here and they always take good care of him. The clinic is new and clean always. Dr.Sarah Armstrong is very knowledgeable and always takes the time to make sure I understand everything that has occurred to date. Dr. Armstrong and her team are amazing! You would be lucky if your pet can become one of their patients. You won't regret your decision - I promise that! Richard and Parker
