Helping those who help animals

Fantastic Beasts Veterinary Services is proud to support the life-saving work of local rescues. Through our nonprofit division, we provide high-quality veterinary services tailored to the unique needs of rescue organizations.

Supporting rescues behind the scenes

Our dedicated rescue division- Island Rescue Veterinary Services and Society (IRVS)- operates out of a specialized treatment and surgical area within Fantastic Beasts Veterinary Services. We work exclusively with registered non-profit animal welfare organizations across Vancouver Island and beyond.

We offer:

  • High-volume, high-quality spay/neuter services

  • Vaccine protocols and parasite control guidance

  • Treatment for individual sick or injured animals

  • Support for groups of rescue animals experiencing common illnesses (e.g., upper respiratory, ringworm)

  • Dentistry and urgent care services, as capacity allows

We use a shelter/rescue medicine approach: efficient, compassionate, and tailored to the realities of non-profit animal care.
