Dr. Satveer and his wife, Ady, believe in making your pet’s visit to Petsville Animal Hospital as fun and stress-free as possible. Exam rooms with buckets of toys, a buffet of treats, and dog beds make a trip to the animal hospital feel more like home. Their mission is for your pets to love visiting Petsville, where Dr. Satveer treats cats, dogs, and exotics such as ferrets, guinea pigs, hedgehogs, and rabbits.

especially now that we are expecting our first baby – it is great that I can spend more time with her at work. We are a great support to each other.” “Ady manages the hospital. With her at my side, I can focus on the patients and treatment. She oversees client relationships, inventory management, marketing, and financial management. She designed the whole hospital and made it more pet-friendly and homey.” Maple, their mischievous puppy, is the hospital’s mascot. She often comes in with Ady and loves to greet and give free kisses to everyone. The couple recently moved to Steveston from Burnaby. Dr. Satveer says, “I love Steveston’s slow pace and closeness to nature. I believe in making connections with the people I live or work with. In small communities, a connection is naturally easier. Neighbours know each other by name, wave at each other on the street, and often work together.” November 15, 2023 - February 15, 2024
