Please send us an email if you would like to honour your pet’s memory.
Mirra
Your team is so amazing, they made our girl feel comfortable and the cheese burger was brilliant.
Mirra was such a special girl, always up for an adventure, always by my side. I have so many memories of all the fun we had together, and I’m grateful that I got to be her person. I miss her every day, but I know she’s not hurting anymore.
Thank you again for helping us through this hard time.
Erin, Chris & Evan.
Sam
Sam ❤️ she was the sweetest girl.
Chester
I have so much gratitude for your team❤️. From Wendy being so supportive to help facilitate to having the support at home. Truly beautiful and exactly what I wanted.
Vanessa and Heather were so compassionate and professional you hardly knew they were here giving us our time and space.
I thank you for time. My house is quiet and lonely and will take time.🤗
Penny
Penny, our sweet girl,
you came to me on the breath of winter,
before the snow fell—
a small guardian with a fierce heart
and a gentle soul.
For sixteen years,
you have walked beside me.
Through every change,
every heartbreak,
every joy—
you have been my protector,
my comfort,
my truest companion.
We grew together,
healed together,
held each other close.
And now,
We give you our final gift—
freedom,
peace,
and dignity.
May your crossing be gentle,
wrapped in love.
May you be received across the rainbow bridge with open arms.
May your spirit stretch and soar—
whole and free,
tail high,
eyes bright,
proud of the life you lived with us.
You have left pawprints on our hearts
that time will never fade.
Go now, beloved,
across the rainbow bridge.
The wind is at your back,
the earth cradles your rest,
and the stars are waiting to guide you home.
Till we meet again, sweet girl—
in the green hills beyond time.
Blessed be.
Audrey
Audrey – a gentle soul and beloved companion, whose purrs and presence will forever echo in our hearts.
Sparkle
Our beautiful girl, we will love you forever. 13 years you permeated our home. A fur sibling to our daughter, we watched the years zip by, and as she grew up, you grew tired. And all in between we have infinite memories of silly antics, endless snuggles and family adventures. A true member of our family you snuggled your way onto every cozy blanket and into an eternal place in our hearts. Thank you for all you gave to us. We will cherish the memories forever. We will love you forever.
Hypatia
Hypatia: our sweet girl and she will always be remembered
Florence
Florence, you were the sweetest little angel. We miss you.
Clara
Thank you so much for the amazing compassion, empathy and care you showed us in person and over email. You have made a hard situation easier and we are so grateful. Dr Vanessa and Katie you were both so amazing. Thank you again for this important service you offer.
We got Clara at the Vernon SPCA. 16.5 years old and always a trooper, never one to complain. Always loved breakfast and supper and in her earlier days, chasing a ball. Very much missed.
Elway
Elway loved being with his humans and hanging out with his sidekick Molly. He loved chasing the neighbours dogs along the fence line and soaking up the rays. Evenings would be spent passing his nerf ball back and forth to dad and snuggling with mom while nooking his stuffy.
Thankyou for giving joy,laughter and unconditional love everyday.
Gone but never forgotten
Honey Bear,Eeyore,sweet baby boy.
Mom and Dad
Austin, Nicholas, Makenna and Molly 🐾
Dakota
Dakota was with us for 18 wonderful years. We will miss her craziness, her talking and her cuddles.
She was very vocal and had the zoomies at night to make sure we were awake. She wouldn’t miss one occasion to watch us from her cat tree. Now we know she will keep watching over us from where she is.
Sadie
Our beautiful Sadie was a constant and loyal companion to all of us and we loved her so very much. We will miss her every day and cherish the beautiful memories that we shared together.
Kea
With heavy hearts, we say goodbye to our beloved dog, Kea (April 21, 2010 – December 31, 2024).
Kea was a comical source of joy and love from the very first moment we met her. As a puppy, she was the obedience class clown, always entertaining and getting into mischief. As she grew, she somehow became sweeter and sweeter every day. When we thought there was no way she could get any sweeter, she somehow could, and she did.
Kea had a passion for adventure and a playful energy. She loved swimming, fetching sticks from the water, jumping off docks, and would race to the top of any mountain we hiked wondering what was taking her parents so long to catch up.
Kea made friends wherever she went. She particularly won the hearts of a few special neighbours. One of Kea’s most treasured activities was trick-or-treating (multiple times per day) at our neighbors’ gates.
Her exuberant spirit filled our home with laughter and love, and we miss her dearly.
Pandora
Pandora loved swimming, treats, sun bathing and cuddling. She was a very special dog, we had the honour growing old with her. She is and will be missed deeply.
Molly
Sweet Molly, Forever loved and never forgotten.
Molly
“Our darling girl Molly passed away peacefully just shy of her 14th birthday, surrounded by her loved ones with the breeze in her face and the grass under her paws on our family farm. Molly was our “foster fail” who came into our lives when she was about a year old, and from the moment she arrived we knew she was never leaving. Molly was beloved by her family, as well as many who had never met her, but knew her through her Instagram @hyperintelligentmolly. Molly did numerous modelling contacts over the years, and her face can be found in print catalogues and on the sides of pet stores. Molly loved hiking and camping, taking flying leaps into the water, road trips, rolling in the snow and grass, Easter egg hunts, chasing the side-by-side on the farm, crunchy treats, and cuddles in bed in the morning. Molly summited mountains, flew in a plane, participated in multi day backpacking trips, canoeing, paddle boarding, snowshoeing, dock diving and even tried her paw at sheep herding. She was passionate about howling along to Lorde and growling at Kung fu movies. Molly is deeply missed by her mom & dad, grandpawrents & best dog friend Remy. We are so grateful to have had such a beautiful soul in our lives. “
Kastro
He was the sweetest little man out there. Definitely a bit of a hand whore when it came to the pets and he loved to climb people. He had such a distinct, lovable personality. He will be missed
Charlotte
My Sweet Charlotte, left us earthside on December 19 2024.
For the nine wonderful years I had with her, she brought unquantifiable joy, and unconditional love into my life.
She was the perfect example of a classic cat, Independent but loving, proper yet playful, respectful yet curious. Never one to be picked up she would contently sit by your side, leaning against you, sharing her warmth.
She ventured home with me to the Yukon through my years at university, lounged in her favourite corner at my parents house in the sun in Victoria, and loved sitting at the window in my Condo, watching the goings on beyond the glass. These places will never feel quite the same without her quiet presence, or her polite meow letting us know her food bowl might be empty. She had the softest fur, and if you were lucky, she would lean on your outstretched arm, nestling herself into you and providing rare kisses on your hand. In the weeks before she died, she must have known her time was coming to an end, as she slept like this with me for many days straight. I’m grateful for the memory of this, now that she has moved on.
She will be greatly missed by many people, including her cat sister Luna, who Charlotte tolerated with the utmost of patience.
Oscar
Oscar was such a lovely dog who was loved so much by all of us and we really miss our family member.
Lily
We were so lucky to have Lily in our lives for the past 11 and a half years and anyone who knows us knows what an irreplaceable part of our family she was. She wasn’t just a dog; she was a constant source of love and joy who touched our lives in ways we never thought possible. Everyone who met her instantly fell for her soft, sensitive soul.
From the moment we brought her home, she fit into our family perfectly, as though she was always meant to be with us. She had a calm, easygoing nature and was happy doing anything, as long as she was by our side—whether it was a walk, a hike, watching TV, or just napping. She always went with the flow.
Lily was incredibly smart, too. In her later years, she decided that carrying groceries was her special job, and she even made it onto CTV Vancouver Island News for her talents. She was truly one of a kind.
She had the best life and was loved beyond measure. Her absence will be felt deeply in so many little ways, like looking up to see her in the kitchen hoping for a treat, finding her at our feet while watching tv, or being greeted at the door by her happy wiggle and favorite toy.
Her memory will be everywhere, and the boundless joy and love she gave us will forever live in our hearts. We’ll miss her immensely and grieve her loss for a long time.
But we take comfort in knowing she is running free now, playing with all the dogs that came before her, chasing tennis balls, and bounding through endless ocean waves. (And eating all the pup cups she could ever hope for!)
Rest easy, sweet Lily.
Nugget
Nugget came to Dr. Vanessa 17 years ago as an orphaned kitten who required bottle feedings around the clock. She grew into the purrfect companion who filled our lives with so much joy and warmth 😻She was the queen of drooling while purring, a sunbathing beauty with an odd, but adorable, obsession with bananas 🍌 She will be missed dearly 💔
Rest in peace sweet Nugget. You have surely left paw prints on the hearts of so many 🐾
Begley
This guy came into our lives on December 29, 2010…we had him for almost exactly 13 years. We will miss him so much. He was the best companion and fur brother to our daughter. He was a great walking partner to his dad. He was the best coworker for myself…he was by my side all day everyday for 13 years. He was the best photoshoot dog despite being all black and hard to light..he willingly wore costumes and always knew the exact spot to sit for the ‘dog’ in any family photo. He was a 70lb lap dog but always asked to get on the couch before jumping up. He survived cancer twice and gave us 13 amazing years. We are missing him so much already. We have so many wonderful memories. We are so grateful that he was able to be at home with us for his final moments. Thank you Dr. Vanessa.
Mystic
In loving memory of our sweet and special, Mystic, who brought so much joy and love to our lives. She passed peacefully while laying on my lap (her favourite place to be). I’m so grateful that I had 18 years with her sassy little attitude. Rest peacefully my sweet Mystic.
