Dr. Charles West

Dr. Charles West grew up in a rural setting surrounded by large animals, where his early exposure to animal care shaped a lifelong passion for veterinary medicine. As soon as he was old enough, he began volunteering at veterinary clinics, already certain of the career path he wanted to pursue.

He graduated in 1981 from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine (WCVM) in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, and went on to specialize in embryo transfer and fertility in farm animals. Over the next 25 years, Dr. West built extensive expertise in reproductive medicine, working both locally and internationally. His career took him abroad, including time in Europe, where he worked on advanced reproductive work such as elk semen transfer to be sent to Australia and New Zealand.

In 2005, Dr. West became the owner of what was then known as The Spay Clinic. Driven by a commitment to accessible veterinary care, he expanded the practice and, in 2012, converted it into a full-service veterinary clinic. His core mission has always been to provide high-quality, affordable veterinary services, a value he continues to uphold with pride today.
