Why Join Us

Central Island Veterinary Emergency Hospital is a busy 24-hour small animal hospital serving most of Vancouver Island. Our spacious and modern hospital has emergency and surgical facilities, advanced dental equipment, ultrasound, endoscope, digital x-ray and an in-house laboratory. Based in Nanaimo, BC, we have been caring for cherished animals in our region for over nine years.

Our team provides care for companion animals as well as for exotic pets. As an ER hospital, we also support neighbouring practices by assisting their clients outside of normal clinical hours. Nanaimo is truly a world-class city that we’re proud to call home. Our region is famous for many attractions like its forested mountains and beautiful shoreline, which is one of the longest in all of Canada.

Also known as the Harbour City, Nanaimo is a great place not only for play, but also for work and daily life. It is now home to many startups in the technology and environment sectors, and is considered as one of the more affordable places to live on the Island.

Emergency Hospital Appreciation Program

We understand that team members of a 24-hour emergency hospital are faced with unique challenges. For this reason, we have launched an Emergency Hospital Appreciation Program that offers team members additional support in various aspects of their life (financial, work-life balance, wellness, training). This comprehensive rewards system helps us to maintain our strong team spirit and remain energized to keep doing what we love most – caring for our patients. Read more
