If you cannot afford the cost of veterinary services in the South Okanagan and your pet is suffering with dental or medical issues, ..... there is an answer I deal with the Omak Veterinary Hospital in Omak, Washington and there veterinary fee's are minimal compared to Canadian pricing. I transport your pet across the border and down to the Omak Vet, the specialist for the area. Generally if requiring surgery, the pet must stay most of the day, and I will wait for their release and transport them back across the border to you. My fee for my day is $150. Example... I was quoted $1400+ for dental on my yorkie, I took her to the Omak Vet where she had her dental, was spayed, and had a cyst removed and analyzed. My bill was less than $400 US.
