Vancouver’s Newest Veterinary Clinic
Woodland Veterinary began as a dream of Dr. Michelle Chen and Dr. Rebecca Burke, who first met while working in Vancouver. Along with many shared interests, they discovered a common passion: to create a veterinary experience where pets feel safe, families feel supported, and care is always delivered with compassion and excellence.
And so, Woodland Veterinary was born. Our clinic was thoughtfully designed to reduce stress and built around personalized care, with every detail reflecting our commitment to your pet’s health and your peace of mind.
We created Woodland Vet to feel different -warmer, more connected, and more human.
When you visit Woodland Veterinary, you’ll find more than a clinic. You’ll find a place that truly welcomes you and your pet. Here, pets are treated like family. Every visit is unrushed, and we take the time to listen, explain, and partner with you in your pet’s care. Our goal is to ensure you feel supported, informed, and confident every step of the way.
Thoughtful. Trusted. Unmistakably personal.
