Dr. Alberto Schlicht

Dr. Alberto Schlicht was born in Chile, but spent a memorable childhood amongst howler monkeys and silent sloths in the jungle of Venezuela until 10 years old. Back in Chile, he lived in a farm in the Southern part of the country, finished High School and then graduated with a degree in Veterinary Medicine earned at the Universidad Austral de Chile in Valdivia.

He completed a MSc. degree in Animal Science at UBC in 2003, followed by the completion of his Canadian and US Veterinary accreditation in 2008. Since then, he has been a practicing small animal Veterinarian.

Dr. Schlicht is passionate about Veterinary Dentistry as it has become the focus of his professional career and development. He has accumulated extensive dental training with Veterinary Dental specialists (over 600 hours) and continues to attend conferences, lectures and wet laboratories on a yearly basis.

He enjoys talking to clients about dental disease, preventative care, and oral hygiene for their pets; striving to explain complex dental conditions and the needs of their pets as simply and clearly as possible. If your cat or dog has advanced dental disease, then Dr. Schlicht will likely be the doctor that will care for your pet on the day of their dental procedure.
