YOUR TRUSTED FAMILY VETERINARIAN SINCE 2018
Little Paws Animal Clinic is a full-service veterinary clinic in Steveston Village. Our uncompromised mission is to provide high quality medicine, with compassionate and empathetic care for all animals. At Little Paws, we emphasize preventative medicine to ensure our patient’s wellbeing. We are here to save animals and make a difference by investing in quality equipment for quality care and registered practitioners for veterinary best-practice.
Putting your pets first!
How are we different from your neighborhood vet?
Qualifications and Our Standards
Nearly 60% of pet owners think their veterinarian is accredited when they’re NOT. As an AAHA-accredited clinic, we are dedicated to regular onsite evaluations on more than 900 standards of veterinary care.
Did you know? Only about 15% of veterinary practices in Canada hold the AAHA designation!
We use fear-free strategies to ensure your pet has a happy experience at the Vet. You can expect things like calming music, relaxing pheromone diffusers in every room, gentle dog and cat friendly handling. We aim to be a fully accredited fear-free practice in 2021. See www.fearfreepets.com for more info.
Did you know in BC it is not a requirement to hire licensed support staff, such as the registered veterinary technicians monitoring your anesthetic or taking care of your pet? At Little Paws we use licensed and trained staff to ensure your pet is receiving the best care possible. We proudly work with technicians who graduate from accredited programs by the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association (CVMA) and passed the Veterinary Technician National Examination (VTNE). Our technicians are highly qualified to complete procedures, labs, imaging, diagnostics and more!
After every wellness exam, we commit to providing detailed medical documentation that’s shared with clients, so our patient’s history is clear and can be essential for other medical decisions later on in life
Premium Medical and Lab Equipment
This is the Gold Standard for veterinary surgical monitoring. Live recording of vital parameters including blood pressure, electrocardiogram, heart rate, oxygenation, rectal and temperature.
*Includes monitoring of End-Tidal Carbon Dioxide (ETCO2) for most accurate reading for breathing patterns.
We have a complete in house laboratory including diagnostic blood analyzers that performs thorough blood testing for immediate answers to your pet’s ailments.
This is the Gold Standard for X-ray image processing. Developed in partnership with imaging tech leaders like Cannon (2001), Varex Medical (2003) and AGFA Healthcare Imaging (for MUSICA Intelligent Image Processing, which allows you to get more out of radiography than ever before).
