Welcome
The Forest Grove Veterinary Clinic was opened by Dr. Liane Bitinsky and Dr. Wanda Burbridge in October 2000, to fill a need for veterinary services in the rapidly expanding North East corner of Saskatoon. We are a full service veterinary practice for companion animals (dogs and cats). Our small staff allows us to foster a close relationship with our clients and patients.
Since 2000, Forest Grove Veterinary Clinic has grown from the original group of 4 part-time employees to 9 dedicated staff members. Although some of the faces may have changed, our commitment to compassionate and high quality care has always remained constant. We believe in individualized care and spending the time to get to know you and your pet.
Please browse through our website and be sure to contact us if you have questions or would like to schedule an appointment.
We are currently accepting new patients. We look forward to your visit!

COVID 19 update
Due to the recent increase of COVID 19 cases in Saskatoon and area, we will be returning to full curbside protocol.
If you or anyone you have had contact with is feeling unwell, or you have travelled in the few weeks before your appointment time, please call us and reschedule your pet's appointment.
Prior to your pet's appointment, please follow the link above and fill in the appointment history form.
When you arrive in the parking lot for your pet's appointment, please call to advise us that you are here. The Veterinarian will return your call when she is ready to begin the appointment. Take this opportunity to discuss any questions or concerns you have with your pet. The RVT will then meet you at the door to bring your pet into the clinic and you will return to your vehicle. When the examination is complete, the Veterinarian will call you to discuss her findings and any recommendations for your pet's health.
Payment will be taken over the phone with a Credit Card, or we can bring a machine to the door for Direct Debit payment. Please note that cash will not be accepted at this time.
We will then meet you at the door for you to collect your pet.
We recommend that your pet be given an anti-anxiety medication, for a minimal fee, to be administered by you prior to their appointment. The medication is to alleviate any stress your pet may be feeling. This will be discussed with you at the time of scheduling the appointment.
All food and medication will continue to be curbside pickup.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation, and look forward to returning to normal.
Welcome to Forest Grove Veterinary Clinic,
We are so happy that you are with us today! As the world navigates through the COVID-19 pandemic we want you to know that we are still here for you and your pets! We are happy to be able to be in the community to serve you, even though things look a little different than they have in the past. We are still operating with our doors locked so that we can effectively manage traffic flow through the clinic and continue to adhere to a high level of disinfection between each client in order to do our very best to make sure that you and your family are safe coming through our doors. At this time, preferred form of payment remains to be debit or credit as it allows the least amount of contact!
When you are arriving to the clinic for your scheduled appointment, you will have to call from the parking lot and wait for a callback from the veterinarian to be escorted inside. At this time, we are only allowing one client into the clinic with their pets and we are requiring a mask to be worn while you are inside.
We have also been experiencing higher than normal requests for appointments, and as such may not be able to accommodate your request as quickly as we have in the past. Please keep this in mind when you are thinking about your pets’ routine medical care and allow for appropriate time between when your pet is due and when you are requesting the appointment. We will do our best to accommodate unplanned medical and urgent care cases, but all appointment requests will be triaged and scheduled accordingly. It is also important if you have scheduled an appointment but are no longer able to make it, that you give us a call to let us know as there are other pets that we could then offer that appointment slot to!
Food and medication pick up remains as curbside pick up only. We ask that you please allow 24 hours for prescription refills and please call ahead prior to arriving to the clinic to pick up food. We are offering the option to pay for your order over the phone prior to arrival to expedite the process when you have arrived for pickup.
You also have the option of ordering your pets food through our website! It is easy to use and allows you to order outside of regular business hours and browse a large selection of food, treats, collars, leashes and toys! Click on the green shopping cart above to get started!
Thank you for your continued patronage through this chaos, we look forward to seeing you soon!
