Meet Our Doctor

Dr. Sacha Malkowski is the founder and sole practitioner of Paws at Peace.  She graduated from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in 2018, followed by a 1 year rotating internship in New York City.  Dr. Malkowski spent over 3 years working in busy Emergency hospitals in Seattle, Washington before moving back to her hometown of Port Coquitlam.  After spending some time in general small animal practice, she realized that many pet owners are not receiving the level of care and explanation regarding their pets terminal illness, and their options surrounding palliative care and euthanasia.  While not yet ready to leave clinical medicine, she started Paws at Peace to spend more time helping pet owners find closure around the impending loss of a beloved pet.  In her free time, she enjoys travel, practicing circus arts and spending time with her cats (Trig and Sweets).
