In addition to our core veterinary services, McCurdy Animal Hospital in Kelowna offers a range of additional services that support comprehensive pet care in one familiar location. From on-site product dispensing to specialist referrals and hospitalization when needed, our team coordinates the support your pet requires and communicates clearly with you at every step.
Our on-site dispensing service provides veterinary-approved products including preventive products, specialized veterinary foods, and items recommended as part of your pet's care plan. Having access to veterinarian-recommended products at the clinic eliminates the need to source them separately and ensures you receive the correct product for your pet's specific situation. Our team explains how each product should be used, when to use it, and what to watch for. If you have questions about a product your pet is currently using, our team is available to help.
When a pet's condition would benefit from advanced diagnostics or specialized expertise, McCurdy Animal Hospital coordinates referrals to veterinary specialists in the region. We discuss with you when referral is appropriate and why, explain what the specialist visit will involve, and remain involved in your pet's care throughout the process. We share records with the receiving specialist and provide follow-up care once your pet returns to our clinic. Our goal is to ensure continuity and clear communication across every step of your pet's care.
When a pet requires monitoring, supportive care, or recovery time beyond what an outpatient visit provides, hospitalization at McCurdy Animal Hospital allows us to observe your pet closely throughout the day. We provide fluids, monitoring, pain management, and nursing care as needed during the hospital stay. We communicate with families regularly during hospitalization so you are kept informed about your pet's progress. Our team will advise on how long hospitalization is likely to be needed and what the discharge criteria look like.
In-house glucose testing allows us to assess blood sugar levels quickly for pets with diabetes or those showing signs of a metabolic imbalance. Point-of-care testing provides results during your visit without the delay of sending samples to an external laboratory. For diabetic pets, regular glucose monitoring is an important part of managing their condition effectively. Our team can also train pet owners on home glucose monitoring techniques so that day-to-day management can be done between clinic visits.
Yes. We stock a range of veterinarian-recommended products through our on-site dispensing service, including parasite preventives, specialized veterinary foods, and other items that may be part of your pet’s care plan. Our team will walk you through the correct product for your pet’s needs and how to use it. Call (778) 484-9446 if you need a refill or have questions about a product.
Hospitalization is recommended when a pet needs ongoing monitoring, fluid support, pain management, or close observation that cannot be provided safely at home. This may follow a surgical procedure, during recovery from a significant illness, or when a pet’s condition requires repeated assessment throughout the day. We will discuss hospitalization with you clearly, including what it involves and what we expect for your pet’s recovery timeline.
