Dr. Kat has been away on maternity leave since the birth of her handsome baby boy, Lucas. She is very much looking forward to seeing her adorable patients again and catching up with all of her wonderful clients! The time for tick protection is now. The Canadian Veterinary Medical Association and Acton Veterinary Clinic want you to know that the ideal time to begin tick protection is before exposure.
Ticks start to look for an animal (or person) to feed on as soon as the temperature reaches 4 degrees Celsius and above! Because some ticks can transmit diseases, such as Lyme disease, it's important to learn as much as you can about them. To find out how you can protect your pet from ticks, please call (519) 853-1450 for an appointment today.

Our Facility Manager Janet Jeffrey worked extremely hard on multiple grants to improve our building before opening. As many are aware, this building was previously vacant for years. With an out dated exterior and an inaccessible interior there was much work to be done. Our facility exterior is now an excellent addition to our downtown neighbourhood and we are fully accessible, including an accessible bathroom and lift.
The natural grinding action that takes place when a rabbit chews fibrous plants normally wears teeth down enough so that they are kept at an ideal length despite continuously growing. But pet rabbits often need to have their teeth manually cut due to a number of health, environmental, and genetic factors.
As veterinarians, we routinely see the medical consequences of poor dental health, but our initial enthusiasm is met with some skepticism on the part of pet owners. Today, pet owners in Canada rank dental problems among their top pet health concerns. Contact us today for more information about dentistry for pets in Acton, ON.
The Acton Veterinary Clinic is equipped with digital x-ray. This allows us to perform diagnostic procedures promptly. This decreases our client and patient wait time, decreases cost when multiple x-rays are required and reduces radiation exposure to your pet! Our new ultrasound machine allows us to perform much needed diagnostics in house, saving our clients the cost of referral if possible.
Most people have heard of a human athlete injuring their anterior cruciate ligament, or ACL, which is one of the critical stabilizing ligaments of the knee joint. An ACL injury is also one of the most common injuries we see in dogs. With dogs, we call the knee joint the "stifle" and their "ACL" the cranial cruciate ligament (or CCL).

Dr. Lokin has seen all of our pets for almost 20 years. He is a down to earth guy who knows his stuff. He is a rural vet in a rural location so he doesn’t have the big fancy office or the attitude that goes along with it. His staff is also very nice and will help to get you in & out. We wholeheartedly recommend his practice.

My dad found a poor baby bunny with a broken back and he took it in there asking if they could just put it down instead of leaving it to die outside... and they charged him $110!
Absolutely ridiculous. I myself work at a vet clinic and there’s such a thing called compassion. I understand things cost money but they took COMPLETE advantage of my dad. Will never go back there.

I have been taking my fur babies to this Dr. Hess and the Team for years and they really get how much our pets mean to us. Recently, as my senior baby was going through a sudden onslaught of emergency issues, the whole clinic truly seemed to rally around us to assist in her urgent care. When it was time for us to finally say good-bye to her there was support, a thoughtful process and even a homey family room where we could sit with her for a private goodbye. A thoughtfull sympathy card signed by all and phone checks followed.
This note is my return thanks and I am sure we'll be introducing

I have been seeing Dr. S. Hess for over 30 years. All my furbabies have been going to him. He and his staff are very kind and helpful with all my animals needs, they go the extra mile and never rush an examination they check everything. I give this Clinic two thumbs up. Great bunch of true animal lovers.
