Services
Alpine Veterinary Medical Centre was opened in February of 2005 in Whitehorse, the capital of the Yukon Territory. It was founded by Dr. Rick Brown and Dr. Kim Friedenberg, colleagues and classmates who have been serving the veterinary needs of the Yukon since 1998/99. We are a mixed animal practice and provide services for a wide variety of species and to a wide geographical area.
Rick hails from the prairie town of Brandon, MB where he graduated with a combined Bachelor of Science degree from the University of British Columbia and Brandon University. He attended veterinary school in Saskatoon and graduated from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in 1998. Rick has called the Yukon home and has been practicing in the north since 1999.
In general, we like to do an overnight fast for most dogs and cats - this means that they can have their supper the night before, but they shouldn't eat after suppertime, and shouldn't have any water after midnight. Some animals have health conditions that make them prone to low blood sugar levels - if this is true of your pet, your veterinarian will probably recommend a shorter fast before surgery.
Pet emergencies can often outside of business hours, and Alpine Veterinary Medical Centre offers emergency services to our clients. Emergency service is available twenty four hours a day, seven days a week and one of our veterinarians can be reached by calling 633-5700. Outside of business hours, this number will reach our answering service which will page the veterinarian on call with the information and a number to reach you at.
Alpine Veterinary Medical Centre has a fully equipped surgical facility. Our surgery suite is equipped with positive pressure ventilation to reduce risks of airborne contamination, ceiling mounted oxygen coupling, and a negative pressure waste gas recovery system.
In addition to the standard components of a surgical ward, are surgery area is equipped with a comprehensive array of up-to-date anesthetic monitoring equipment to ensure that your pet's anesthesia is as safe as possible.Please see our Anaesthesia section for more information about how we maximize your pet's safety under anesthesia.

Highly recommend Alpine Vet clinic. The staff are always friendly and do their best to meet the needs of all the animals located at Mutt Mansion Sanctuary. I am never disappointed with their service and care towards the animals and clients. To bad not all customers could be respectful to the staff. They work hard daily.

Our 10 year old dog, Ozzie has a massive tumour on his hind leg. Over spring break it opened up and was getting worst as the days went on. Dr. Helen Eddy called us, helped lessen our worry and showed… compassion. Yesterday we talked again and decided he needed surgery. Thanks to Dr. Elliot and team that fixed our boy. He is at home resting and getting all the attention he wants. Thanks to the whole team at Alpine!

Cannot thank Dr. Matt Allen and technician Jessica Ross enough, they went above and beyond to save our dog. Without Alpine's emergency on-call hours and the medical staff's incredible efforts, there's no way our dog would have survived. They explained all the options and prices with compassion and understanding. We are truly grateful, happy holidays.
