Our Philosophy

​We strive to provide high quality medical care to help our patients live longer, healthier lives.

We will provide the best possible service to our clients and educate them so that they may be fully informed partners in the lifetime of their pets.

We will treat our clients, our patients, and each other as we would like to be treated; our clients and colleagues with respect, honesty and consideration, and our patients with kindness and compassion. 

Canadian Pet Tick Survey

​Our clinic is one of a few selected to participate in this study funded by OVC Pet Trust.

The goal of the Canadian Pet Tick Survey is to understand tick and tick-borne disease risks for companion animals across space and time in Canada. From April 1, 2019 – March 31, 2020, we are able to submit ticks collected from companion animals to the laboratory. The ticks will be identified by species and testing will be conducted for tick-borne pathogens.

We want you to know about a NEW tapeworm of concern in Ontario this year: Echinococcus sp. The concern is that your dog can become infected and pass a very dangerous form of this disease on to you. The tapeworm usually cycles through the fox and coyote population. Talk to us to see if your dog is at risk. If so, we can recommend prevention.  Click HERE for more information from the University of Guelph.

In 2018, our area experienced 2 outbreaks of Canine Influenza.  There have been no further outbreaks, but we wish to remain vigilant.  Please contact us before your appointment if your dog is showing flu-like symptoms (coughing, lethargy, sneezing or discharge from the eyes or nose).  Also, if you are considering adopting a new dog that is being imported from another country, particularly from Asia, please ensure proper quarantine measures have been followed prior to allowing that dog to have contact with other dogs in your home or the community.

We welcome all of our clients to join us on facebook!  Please "like us" and "follow us" to see cute pictures of our patients, interact with us through games and postings and obtain important information and facts.  We can't wait to see you there!
