Welcome to Boundary Bay Veterinary Specialty Hospital
Boundary Bay Veterinary Specialty Hospital is honoured to be the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association’s 2025 Practice of the Year.
We are the only VECCS Level I facility in Canada to receive this award.

We offer specialized veterinary care and 24/7 emergency and critical care services to provide peace-of-mind to pet owners and to support primary care veterinarians.
Our board-certified specialists offer services in emergency and critical care, surgery, internal medicine, cardiology, neurology, oncology, dentistry, behaviour medicine, diagnostic imaging, and animal rehabilitation.
As a certified VECCS Level I facility and a Level II VetCOT Trauma Centre, we are capable of handling even the most critical, life-threatening emergencies and trauma, with specialists on staff and on-call to handle any medical or surgical issue your pet may be experiencing.
From the time your pet arrives, to the care they receive during their stay with us and the follow-up after they go home, our goal is to get your pets back spending more precious time with you – after all, it’s these moments that matter most.
