Dr. Wendy grew up in Muskoka, surrounded by domestic and wild animals, and she never remembers a time when she didn't want to be a vet. The only time she has ever been without a pet is during her first 2 years of university- after that, she smuggled a rabbit into residence for companionship. Her husband and daughter currently share her with a Saluki, a German Shepherd, a mutt that looks like a terrier, a cat, and a lovebird.
After working in more than fifteen clinics throughout Ontario, Dr. Wendy started Stroud Veterinary Hospital in 2004. Although starting a family at the same time was not part of the plan, her daughter had different ideas. The ability to practice medicine according to her own philosophy has been very rewarding, although balancing work and home life has sometimes been a bit challenging!

Services
At Stroud Veterinary Hospital our number one priority is you and your pets comfort. From treats to non skid mats for your pets, and chairs accessible to our rooms and coffee/tea for our clients we try to make the experience as enjoyable as possible.
Another way we try to make our pets comfort number one is by booking only 1 appointment at a time, that way there are no other pets waiting in the office and our attention is fully on you and your pet.Unfortunately we do sometimes run into double bookings if an emergency comes in but we will do our best to accommodate.

All of our veterinary fees are in accordance with the Ontario Veterinary Medical Association (OVMA) fee guide. We will provide a customized quote before any medical treatment is performed, and we will work within your individual means while not compromising your pet's healthcare. We also highly encourage pet owners to purchase pet insurance in case of emergency veterinary bills.
In the spring of 2003 we purchased "the Peacock house" in Stroud and renovated it into a space suitable for a Veterinary Hospital, with a full apartment underneath. We tried to retain the character of the house, as many people in the community have memories of the parties and social events that took place here over the years.
If you have an emergency during our business hours (located to the right) then you can give us a call at 705-436-9838 or walk in to our office located at 7918 Yonge Street Innisfil Ontario L9S 1L5. If you have an emergency after clinic hours the closest emergency vet hospital is Huronia Veterinary Emergency Clinic located at 391 Dunlop St W, Barrie Ontario.
We like to keep pets healthy and the best way to do that is for them to have a yearly examination by a veterinarian. Pets age much faster than humans and a lot can change in a short amount of time. Puppies, kittens, seniors, and pets with health conditions need more frequent examinations to better assess their progress.

The staff are amazing. We’ve been taking our puppy here for her checkups and shots and everyone is so friendly and knowledgeable. I was a little nervous taking a wiggly hyper puppy in by myself, but everyone was so good with her and make you feel comfortable right away. We are very happy with the care she has been receiving!

Hello fellow fur-parents! After several years and visits to various vets over 20yrs I was told by a customer about Dr. Wendy and The Stroud Clinic team. I have been taking my animals here proudly and confidently for over 10 years and would highly recommend them to everyone. If you want compassion, straight detailed answers or opinions Dr. Wendy… will give it to you (she may even draw a picture) so you are fully aware of your furbaby's (ies) health. I have always appreciated honesty as many of us need especially when it's an overwhelming situation. The compassion that enters a conversation

After another vet wanted to discuss nothing but the money we were spending without even giving the diagnosis, we found this vet.
Not only did they help us through a hard time, my dog with no doubt live a longer life. They are ACTUALLY caring, their prices are fair and they get you all info you need. Thank you so much for your knowledge and compassion for our 4 year old Bernedoodle with lymphoma.

I live in Toronto but travel to Stroud Vet because they are the "best"! My dog has had 2 surgeries ( teeth extraction & a growth removed ) Dr. Hatch truly takes the time to explain everything including other options. Dr. Hatch & the staff go above & beyond with their care. It is worth the trip for peace of mind & as far as I am concerned the best vet I have ever gone to! I recommend them to anybody I know that owns a pet & is looking for a "great" vet! Bless you for what you guys do!

Amazing staff and great prices. We took our 2 dogs and they treated them so amazing that our very nervous dog actually was calm enough that he ate a treat from them. We normally have to sedate him to get his nails trimmed because he gets so scared and can bit. He was fine didn't need to be sedated which is so great because it is not good for him to be sedated so often. I can't say enough great things about this vet and her staff. We will be going again and only here for ever. Thank you so much

We are very fortunate to have found Dr. Wendy. She is a brilliant, knowledgeable vet who takes fantastic care of our family. The techs are also all very knowledgeable, kind, and caring. We have had more then our share of complicated medical issues with our crew. Wendy has many years of experience which is very important. She has a comfortable,… professional way with our dogs. They are not easy patients. Blind/deaf, and deaf Danes can be a handful. Wendy’s calm and sure movements puts them at ease. The word expert comes to mind in trying to express her level of competence.
