There are multiple ways that a practice or facility can market and advertise their CVBC approved names. The office recognizes it may be practical for two separately named business entities to share the accredited supplies and equipment and location of one facility accreditation. The most common example is a fixed facility with one name and their mobile component “Doing Business As” with a separate, more general name, based out of and sharing supplies with the fixed portion of the facility. Please review the Practice Facility Accreditation Committee Policy: Single Accreditation for Multiple Business Entities. 

Each separate name that includes protected terms such as Veterinary, Animal Clinic etc. will require name approval. 

Each practice or facility’s situation will be unique. Please contact us at facilities@cvbc.ca if you have any questions relating to your practice or facility.
