On-Site Dispensing of Veterinary Products
University Vet maintains an on-site product area where veterinary-grade products are dispensed directly to our clients following a clinical consultation. On-site dispensing allows our team to ensure that the products you take home are appropriate for your pet's current health status and have been selected based on our clinical findings. Products available include parasite prevention, skin and coat supportive products, and dietary supplements. Our dispensing practices comply with British Columbia College of Veterinarians guidelines, which require a valid veterinarian-client-patient relationship for all veterinary products dispensed.
Veterinary Referrals for Specialist Care
When a dog or cat requires care or assessment beyond the scope of our general veterinary services in Point Grey, our team coordinates referrals to veterinary referral centres and specialist practices in the Vancouver area. Referrals may be arranged for oncology, internal medicine, ophthalmology, neurology, dermatology, and other specialty areas. Our team will provide a detailed referral package including clinical history, current bloodwork, and imaging when applicable to support continuity of care. We remain involved in your pet's care coordination throughout the referral process.
Hospitalization for Dogs and Cats
Hospitalization at University Vet allows dogs and cats to receive continuous monitoring and supportive care during the clinic's operating hours when their condition requires more than a standard outpatient visit. Hospitalization is appropriate for pets recovering from surgical procedures, those requiring repeated fluid support, or animals being monitored closely following an urgent care episode. Our team provides regular updates throughout your pet's stay. For pets requiring overnight care, we will provide referral guidance to appropriate overnight facilities in Vancouver.
In-House Glucose Testing for Dogs and Cats
In-house glucose testing at University Vet allows our team to measure blood glucose levels quickly during clinical visits, supporting the management of diabetic dogs and cats and screening for metabolic concerns in pets showing relevant signs. Rapid in-house results allow our team to make immediate care decisions without the delay of reference laboratory processing. For pets on active glucose monitoring protocols, our Point Grey team will establish a regular testing schedule as part of their ongoing management plan.
