At, care begins with community. Nestled in the Comox Valley, the locally owned clinic has built a reputation for – for cats and dogs, as well as more exotic pets like reptiles and birds. In fact, the clinic is one of the few in the region that welcomes such a range of animals.
“We’re not a corporate chain, we’re a who takes pride in knowing our clients on a personal level and treating each pet like our own, whether that's staying late to accommodate emergencies or taking extra steps to ease the anxiety of nervous animals,” says Practice Manager Delaney Barrow.
Established in 1996, the clinic has been owned since 2019 by Drs. Alberto and Carly Ruiz, a husband-and-wife veterinary team committed to making the clinic feel like a second home for pets and their people.
“There’s a real need for trustworthy, accessible and affordable veterinary services in the Comox Valley,” Barrow says. “We help fill that gap by offering a consistent, client-focused approach that supports pets and the whole family.”
That support extends to cost-conscious care, including discounted services for, as well as subscription-based preventive plans with monthly payment options.
Sunrise Veterinary Clinic staff live and raise their families in the Valley, and take pride in giving back through education, event sponsorship and local outreach. “The community is our foundation,” Barrow says. “We’ve grown alongside the people and pets we serve. Giving back is part of who we are.”
“It’s an incredible privilege to serve pets and their people through every stage of life,” she adds. “We’re so proud to be trusted with that responsibility every single day.”
