About Boundary Bay Veterinary Specialty Hospital
Independent Vet finding
Why this practice is verified independent
Boundary Bay explicitly describes the Surrey hospital as Canadian, independent and family-owned. The hospital’s account of its Surrey relocation names Sarah Charney and Geoffrey Hutchinson as the owners; this is historical context for its current family-ownership statement. The veterinary association’s 2025 Practice of the Year coverage describes Boundary Bay’s Surrey hospital as an independent, family-owned practice. The College of Veterinarians of BC confirms the Surrey facility’s clinical identity; accreditation is not a beneficial-ownership finding.
