About Us

The Shuswap Veterinary Clinic:

Serves Salmon Arm, Enderby, Armstrong, Sicamous, Sorrento and surrounding areas. Drs. Gary Cruikshank and John Sudbury founded the clinic in 1973. Over the years we have grown to 16 Veterinarians supported by a team of Registered Animal Health Technologists, our reception and office team, and kennel staff to care for your pets and livestock. In 2007 we opened a satellite clinic in Sorrento.

Our Mission:

To provide the exceptional veterinary care to our patients within the wishes and constraints of their owners. Our aim is to serve all our clients in a prompt, cordial and professional manner.

We have been caring for pets and farm animals since 1973 at our Salmon Arm Clinic, 1050 – 4th Ave S.W. Call 250-832-6069 for an appointment.
