Our Mission
Forest Grove Veterinary Clinic is locally owned, and our mission is to treat your pets like our own. We understand that your pet is your family member, and it can be scary to put a member of your family into somebody else's care — but it shouldn't have to be. You can trust that our team is looking out for your pet's best interests!
We start by ensuring every visit follows low-stress handling, using positive reinforcement, and having a team highly trained in watching for the early signs of stress in your pets. We offer a spectrum of care because every pet deserves care. We tailor each appointment to you and your pet's needs through longer appointment times and more face-to-face time with our vets.
We believe in individualized care and spending 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 look forward to your visit!
History of our Clinic
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 Northeast corner of Saskatoon. In September 2022, the practice was taken over by Dr. Allison Hay, one of our beloved associate veterinarians on staff!
Liane may not be in the clinic from day to day, but she was the reason the clinic grew to what it is today, and bits of Liane can still be found around the clinic — in artwork and in spirit!
Over the years, our staff has grown from the original group of 4 part-time employees to 11 dedicated staff members. Some of the faces have changed, but our commitment to compassionate and high-quality care has always remained constant.
