I’d love to add to this post.
For all of my animals larger procedures (neuter, spay, cherry eye, dental etc) I travel to Kalispell to have my animals cared for. It would be a blessing to have a great local vet. We once had an awesome vet in town (Dr. Janisz sp?) but he was killed while on duty.
What we need is a compassionate veterinarian. One not afraid of dogs. One not going to charge you a whole paycheque for standard procedures. If this is you then you will do very well in Fernie. It could be a slow start as many people have formed great relationships with out of town vets, but as stated previously, there are NO vets in the elk valley. We have a WONDERFUL traveling holistic veterinarian who is here every two weeks, but traveling vets cannot do surgeries. You would definitely be a welcome addition to this community!
