Compassion first
We treat every animal as if they were our own — with patience, gentleness and respect.
Our story
Compassionate care, close to home
Eighth Avenue Animal Hospital was founded on a simple belief: pets and their people deserve a calmer, kinder veterinary experience — grounded in modern medicine and genuine relationships.
Who we are
A modern hospital with a neighbourhood soul
Tucked into the heart of New Westminster on Eighth Avenue, our hospital was designed to feel less clinical and more comforting — for pets and the people who love them. Soft lighting, quiet exam rooms and an unhurried pace help even nervous patients relax.
Behind that calm exterior is a fully equipped medical facility: an in-house laboratory, digital radiography, dental suite and modern surgical monitoring — everything we need to care for your companion at every stage of life.
