The AVC Veterinary Teaching Hospital (VTH) is excited to announce our online pet store (mvVETstore), where every purchase supports training the next generation of veterinarians. This online store offers UPEI faculty and staff the convenience of shopping for your pet’s products at whatever time suits you, with 24/7 service and a huge selection of food, treats, toys, and supplies for cats, dogs, pocket pets, and exotics.
With current COVID restrictions, it can be inconvenient and time consuming for you to come into the Veterinary Teaching Hospital. Ordering through the myVETstore website is faster and safer for you. If your pet needs a prescription diet, these are strictly controlled by your AVC veterinarian through our myVETstore.
Ordered products can be shipped directly to your home, cottage, or office, or picked up at the VTH. We will send you an email letting you know when your order has been shipped or is available for pickup.
We invite you to sign up and create your account (please use your UPEI email address to get your staff discount) for the AVC myVETstore through the link below:
