About Vet

Telehealth Veterinarian | Companion Animal Medicine | Clinical Decision Support

I’m a Vancouver-based small animal veterinarian with 10 years of experience in general practice and emergency medicine, providing clear, practical medical guidance to pet owners.

My telehealth work focuses on triage, preventive care, chronic disease support, and helping pet parents understand when in-person veterinary care is needed. I’m particularly passionate about improving access to veterinary guidance and empowering families to make informed, confident decisions about their pets’ health.

I value clear communication, evidence-based medicine, and compassionate care, and I strive to provide practical, realistic recommendations that support both pets and the people who care for them.

Telemedicine Disclaimer: Telemedicine has inherent limitations and depending on the nature of your pet’s condition, it may not be possible to proceed without an in-person visit, or an in-person visit may be necessary for follow-up; and there are potential privacy and security issues involved in accessing veterinary care via telemedicine as with any form of virtual communication

Dr. Armborst is incredibly knowledgeable and ready to share that knowledge with pet parents. She took both my comfort and my cat's comfort into consideration as she gave her advice and explained the prescriptions she was giving. I would definitely come to her again.

I have had some very bad experience with a couple vets previously so my appointment with Dr. Alyssia Armborst was ... a relief. I have a cat with a recurring issue so it is super helpful to have an online appointment and get the meds I need quickly. I felt listened to. She didn't talk down to me at all which was a new experience with a vet. I only wish she didn't live an hour away so that I could see her when I need in person visits.

I found Dr Armborst to be a very excellent listener and very thorough in relaying back to me what I've said and in explaining to me things I need to know. She is extremely knowledgeable and was a very big help. She was able to help me get four needed medications needed for my dog including talking the Shoppers Drug Mart pharmacist into making a special compound for my tiny puppy. She makes excellent very precise thorough notes in our records with lots of ideas for future examinations that may need to be done if this current protocol doesn't work. I plan to continue seeing her when she's available. She is very kind and seems to have a true love and care for animals. 🥰
