Services
A veterinarian will perform a complete physical exam on your pet and will focus on the specific concerns of the owners. Medication or further diagnostics will be suggested if required. A veterinarian will perform a complete physical exam on your pet to ensure they are healthy for the vaccines. Have specific health concerns?
This vaccine is required by law as it helps to protect your pet against the deadly rabies disease that can be transmitted by the bite or saliva of an infected animal. This vaccine protects your pet against 4 contagious and potentially fatal viral infections common in dogs. This vaccine is essential to protect your pet against kennel cough, an illness that can be easily spread between dogs.
These procedures are performed on female pets (spay) and male pets (neuter) to make them infertile and protect them against multiple health issues in the future. The general recommendation is to book these when your pet is between 5-6 months of age. Microchip application is also best at this time! This procedure is recommended when tartar and plaque begin to build up on your pet's teeth to maintain oral health of your pet.
We also offer an abdominal screening radiograph to determine if your female animal is pregnant, which needs to be taken on at least day 45 of the pregnancy. We will collect and send out your pets blood in order to check for various diseases and conditions occurring that may be related to the function of their organs.
If sedation is required or any medical condition is noticed please book with a veterinarian. If you are coming in for a vaccination/general consult, the nail trim will only be $11+tax! We offer microchip application and registration at our clinic to help get your pets back home safely! If you would like to microchip your animal, we recommend to consider doing it during surgery to cause less stress and pain to your pet with the needle!

I was visiting family in Hamilton and took my 1 yr old dog there for his yearly shots but felt they tried to push me to get things that looking back on it was probably not necessary! you would think that the Vet and staff would do a quick check to make sure things are ok but instead I was forced to show them about a few tick bumps my dog had that they failed to spot. i strongly feel that a Vet should do the bare minimum and at least do a physical check . i ended up paying $400 for the yearly shots (with the pressure of getting unnecessary blood work done) and that "all in one" tablets/pills against

Visited today with my dog, I was very pleased with the Covid-19 protocols in place and how friendly and knowledgeable the employee was(Jessie I think!). I called in the morning and had an appointment later that day. I had many questions before, during and after our visit and all were answered-I appreciated having things explained to me and being told costs upfront. Vets are very expensive, however I felt that what I was charged was reasonable. Thanks so much for the great care!

Best price for my dogs dental, but that's not why they are getting 5 stars, they worked well with my dog who has fear aggression, Got the work done and did what needed to be done while trying to cause as less stress as possible. The Tech's are super friendly listen to concerns and never once made me feel like my dog would be treated any differently even though he's a bit nasty!

Best vet I found! I took my dog to 3 others, and even my vet I had for 9 years couldn't find out what is wrong with my dog. All they wanted was tests done, and some wouldn't even really look at him. One trip here, and my dog was saved! This place cares for animals, and are not money hungry. They are very patient, and knows what they are doing. The discounts are amazing too. I recommend this vet to all my friends, and family!

We took our foster dog for the free exam they offer on Fridays. Was not impressed at all and wouldn't recommend to anyone. The vet checked his heart (it was fine) and did pretty much nothing else. He then told me he would give him a shot of penicillin (for a cost) "just in case." I declined that. He also told me we should give him a multivitamin and deworming medication (again, just in case and for a cost). We went back out to the front desk and he didn't have the deworming medication he was looking for and offered to provide me a different dosage for a reduced cost. He also didn't have the multivitamin
