Province-wide shortage of veterinarians continues to hamper B.C.'s animal healthcare system
A Prince George woman unable to get her dogs vaccinated because she’s not already a client of one of the city’s veterinarians says she would be willing to volunteer her services as a human health care professional to help staff a vaccination clinic for pets.
The problem stems from a province-wide shortage of animal doctors that has forced many B.C. veterinary clinics to stop taking on new clients and cut back on emergency after-hours services. Blatta worked 12 years in Greater Vancouver hospitals as a residential care aid and has experience giving insulin injections to her mom and she can’t understand why she can’t give a needle to either of her pets to take care of their health and give her peace of mind.
Prince George Animal Hospital is also planning a puppy/kitten clinic for September. Bringing your pet to any of those clinics will not be the ticket to a longstanding vet-client relationship and pet owners will still have to wait until a clinic begins taking on new patients.
