WELCOME

Dr Elizabeth Riddett is offering veterinary sports medicine and rehabilitation house call services from Victoria to the Comox Valley. 

What Sets Align Veterinary Services Apart: 

Align Veterinary Services provides top-notch care using a collaborative approach with your current veterinarian. This means open communication between all members of the healthcare team. We use a proactive, multi-modal approach to pain management, including manual therapies, rehabilitation exercises, new technologies, and pharmaceuticals. The best part is that we come to you! Appointments take place at your home or barn, saving you time and keeping your pets where they are most comfortable.

What can we help with? 
 

Dogs

  • Changes in gait or posture - difficulty with stairs or jumping in and out of the car, difficulty posturing to eliminate, hunched or sway backs

  • Arthritis

  • Tendon sprains and muscle strains - active dog sporting injuries, falls 

  • Pre surgical treatment - patellar luxation, partial cruciate tears

  • Post surgical treatment - after TPLO or TTA, therapeutic arthroscopy, amputation, abdominal surgeries (spays, foreign body surgeries, cystotomies), neurosurgery

  • When surgery is recommended but not an option - cruciate ligament ruptures, hip dysplasia

  • Neurologic issues - IVDD (bulging discs), degenerative myelopathy

  • New behavioral issues - is pain contributing to behaviour?

Our Values

We know the human-animal bond is sacred. 

We believe all humans and animals are deserving of care and dignity. 

We know the strength of a community is demonstrated in how it treats its most vulnerable

Do you align with these values? 

We acknowledge that Align Veterinary Services is based on the traditional territories of the Esquimalt, W̱SÁNEĆ, and Songhees people. In an effort towards reconciliation and to show my eternal gratitude to live and work on this land, a portion of profits is donated to The Raven Trust and The Native Friendship Centre.
