Coast Mountain Veterinary Services
Welcoming 2026 with a Rebrand of Our In-House Emergency Fund
We're proud to introduce the HEART Fund –
Helping Emergency Animals Receive Treatment.
Created to continue our mission of providing lifesaving veterinary care to pets in crisis, the HEART Fund ensures animals in urgent need receive the help they deserve-when it matters most.
No pet should go without care in an emergency. Through the HEART Fund, we support families facing unexpected veterinary costs and give pets a second chance at a healthy, happy life.
How You Can Help?

Your donation goes directly toward emergency veterinary care for pets in need – you are helping to save lives when time matters most.
If you would like to donate to the HEART Fund, we are accepting donations by means of e-transfer. You can send your donation to: [email protected]. *Please note that this is for a HEART fund donation.
We’re always coming up with new ways to raise money within the hospital, stay tuned for special donation events like nail trim days and pet portraits by donation. We’re happy to offer these opportunities to our community so come by and support the cause with your pet!

If you would like to support us as a business, we can provide you with a donation jar, and materials to reach out to your own clients to help raise money.
Larger corporate donations can be handled by contacting the clinic or emailing: [email protected].
How do you qualify?
In order to ensure those that need help the most will receive it, we have a set of guidelines we follow to in order to qualify for this fund.
If your animal needs emergency care, and finances are of a concern, please mention this to our staff, and they will take the case to the necessary personnel to find out if you qualify for the program. There are specific factors for qualification that are set out to avoid any misuse or abuse of allocated funds and to ensure we can continue to offer this important community program.
The case must be presented to and signed off by the management team. This does mean that, unfortunately, not everyone will qualify, as it is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. We will also consult any necessary outside specialists or shelter staƯ to make informed decisions.
Individuals that do not qualify for this fund are encouraged to speak with our reception team regarding third-party financing options.
Zeus' Story
Zeus was the first recipient of help from The Community Fund.
At just two years old, Zeus was hit by a pickup truck near his home just north of Whistler and suffered a severe break to his hind leg.
Zeus's very dedicated family desperately tried to come up with the amount of money needed for a repair at another hospital, but with time running out, and not able to produce the over $10k needed, they opted instead to amputate the limb under medical recommendation.

Zeus' amputation was performed by Dr. Dayton and Dr. Sola and he was back up on his remaining paws and ready to play in a matter of days!
Since then Zeus has adapted well to his new life as a tripod, and is enjoying his summer playing with the other family pets.
We're so happy we could help ease the financial burden of Zeus' care on his loving family who were already emotionally devastated seeing him in pain.
It's a delight to see Zeus living his best three-legged life with his family, and seeing The Community Fund already making a difference.
Thank you so much!
Todd's Story
Todd is a cheeky one year old kitten, who was brought in when he started vomiting up everything he ate and drank.
It turns out Todd decided his Mum's silicone straw looked just delicious and chewed up the whole straw into inch-long pieces before ingesting the lot.
Todd needed emergency surgery to remove all this silicone from his stomach, and then a follow up hospitalization stint with us after he struggled post-surgery.
A portion of the bill was raised through Go Fund Me, but we were delighted to step in and pay for the rest.
