Dr. Victor Negrea

Dr. Victor Negrea has more than 24 years of experience in Veterinary Medicine. He loves animals and enjoys the medical and surgical challenges presented at our small-animal practice, managing them calmly and compassionately towards both the patient and the client. He has a special interest in surgery, canine reproduction, internal medicine and dentistry.

Dr. Negrea fully embraced the wonderful Canadian society when he moved from NW Romania to Canada. After passing his Veterinary Licensing exams at the Ontario Veterinary College in Guelph, ON, he marched along the Prairies with his family, moving from Winnipeg, MB, to St. Albert, AB, then to Cochrane, AB. He practiced small-animal medicine and canine reproduction at several clinics. His love for treating animals medically has been a passion, and in 2016, he moved to Vancouver Island, joining the team at Beacon Pet Hospital. When he is not in the hospital taking care of the pets, he loves biking, swimming, hiking and spending time with his wife and two children.
