A Penticton group is leading the charge to get 24/7 veterinary care for the South Okanagan and will be making an appeal to local politicians next week.
Keith Boswell, representing the group South Okanagan After Hours Pet Care, will be at the city council meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 16. Boswell’s aim is to bring attention to the lack of after hour veterinary care in the city to council members.
He says Penticton no longer offers emergency vet service, and the only alternative for a pet owner whose pet gets ill after hours, or on weekends, is to submit their sick animal to an hour-long drive to a vet in Kelowna.
