When you are looking for a veterinary care clinic you should be able to count on compassionate care and excellent service. We at Dawson Street Veterinary Clinic in Burnaby, BC have assembled a caring team of veterinary professionals to bring you excellent healthcare for your pet. We have a clean, comfortable, and inviting veterinary facility.
It is recommended that an examination is done once a year for your pets. Our veterinarian, Dr. Cabanas, will check the health of your pet from head to tail, and provide you with an individualized health care plan for your pet, depending on their lifestyle and age-related needs. They will discuss with you current concerns and help you to develop a preventive health care plan for your pet. Additionally, when necessary, Dr. Cabanas is able to refer you and your pet to veterinary specialists for advanced medical diagnostic testing or treatment.

When you arrive for your Pet's Appointment:
- Please arrive on time for your scheduled appointment.

2. Please keep your dog's on leash and cat's in their kennel.
Having your pet in a carrier or on a leash can keep your pet safe from escaping and preventing any injuries to themselves or to others. We have an ongoing flow of patients checking-in or out of appointments throughout the day which means there may be multiple patients in the reception area. Some pets may be perfectly well-behaved, but please keep in mind it may be stressful for others. We are also located on a busy street so we would like to prevent any stressed pets from dashing and escaping outside the door.
