Services
Having had a lifelong passion for animals, my desire to become a veterinarian began at the tender age of 5. As a child, I was only allowed to have very small pets of my own, such as hamsters and goldfish. Over the years, I somehow convinced my parents to expand my care network to a variety of other small mammals, including rabbits, guinea pigs, and chinchillas.
Here at Wellesley Animal Hospital, we are very proud to offer our veterinary services to Toronto, ON and the surrounding areas. Our goal at Wellesley Animal Hospital is to offer the very best in veterinary care to our patients.

My spay with my puppy Cava went extremely well. The staff were always responsive and timely. Dr. Pawliwec did an exceptional job with Cava's spay and helped when I had questions/concerns following the surgery. 5 out of 5!

I take my senior cat to the Wellesley Animal Hospital and Dr. Tara is wonderful! She always take the time to patiently explain things to me and is compassionate, honest and attentive. I completely trust her with my cat!
I really like that I can refill my cat’s medication online + manage her appointments. The front desk staff are always responsive and helpful.

Every single person at this office is amazing! We adopted a doggo with heartworm, and Wellesley Animal Hospital has been so incredibly kind and helpful. I've had many questions about the heartworm disease, the medication, the process, even questions on the changes to expect to our dog's lifestyle, and every single time we've had the chance to get in touch with the hospital, they've been extremely quick to respond with thorough and professional responses.
Dr. Fiona takes care of our dog, and gives us so much information and comfort. We really appreciate the way she goes above and beyond for our

My cat suddenly fell ill when I took him to this hospital. They asked questions to make sure they have everything on file and did a very thorough check-up on my cat. I am very impressed on how detailed and organized they were. After the visit they also kept in touch to make sure my cat is doing well. Great customer service I am so glad I found this place! Would recommend for pets 100%!

I was happy with the experience. They completed the check-up faster because I only allowed an hour before my next booked thing and they accommodated.
The Dr. called me to tell me everything that was checked and also advise on few things. She was very inquisitive and I felt like she truly cared for my dog.

We have the best experience bringing our cat to the Wellesley Animal Hospital. They could not be nicer or more caring. They really take the time to explain everything and make you feel completely comfortable about your pet’s health and well-being.

Thank you Wellesley Animal Hospital for always providing such a great experience for our dachshund Clementine. She actually LOVES going to the vet and seeing all the amazing staff. She just got spayed and I couldn’t recommend them enough- they provided many updates, answered all my crazy dog mom questions and didn’t charge us extra when was surprised us all by actually being in heat. 10/10 vet service, 10/10 staff. Best vet in Toronto !

Dr. Yu and Selene did such an excellent job taking care of my cat Chavo! He's usually so anxious at the vet, but they took time to make sure he felt comfortable and safe. We just went in for his annual checkup, but they were so thorough and made sure to explain exactly what they looked at and answered all my questions. We'll definitely be going back :)
Edit: Selene was also super excited to share some pictures she took of Chavo being a very proud boy.
