Dr. Palmer graduated from Ontario Veterinary College in 1989. He practiced for three years in a busy, progressive animal hospital in Scarborough before falling in love with Northern Ontario and purchasing Sault Ste. Marie Animal Clinic with his wife Robin in 1992. While practicing in Scarborough, Dr. Palmer was fortunate to be at one of the first private practices in Ontario to offer veterinary ultrasound diagnostic services to their clients.
Marie animal Clinic, we believe providing the very best veterinary care requires an active and informed partnership between pet owner and the veterinary health care team. You are an important member of your pet's health care team! Together, we can make knowledgeable and informed decisions in the best interest of your pet.

In addition to seeing patients on an appointment basis we also provide a complete range of laboratory, diagnostic imaging, medical and surgical services to our patients in need. We focus on providing these services in a clean, calm and comfortable environment for you and your pet.
We believe the best way to promote overall health is through preventative care. Regular checkups allow us to establish a baseline in your pets' health and make us aware of any changes that may indicate future problems. We highly recommend bringing your pet in for regular exams. Often health problems that go undetected can become more severe issues when left untreated, so checkups are important even when your pet appears healthy.
Routine Wellness Exams and vaccinations are the foundation of good health care for your pet. Regular, thorough physical exams help us to know what is normal for your pet so that any changes can be detected and addressed promptly.
They also give us an important opportunity to discuss topics vital to your pet's health such as nutrition, vaccination programs, parasite treatment and prevention, dental health, supplements and wellness or geriatric blood screens.Vaccinations will be given according to your pet's age, individual lifestyle and risk of exposure.

I took my dog in to Dr. Palmer as he was the on call emergency veterinarian on Oct 14th. My dog was showing obvious signs of being in distress. After checking her over, Dr. palmer wanted to keep her overnight to monitor her vitals do blood work and take x-rays. I was to call before closing to recieve information about her blood work and x ray… results... dropped her off at 12:30 noon, called for results at 4:53pm and they were not ready? How does it take that long? He returned my call almost 2 hrs later with blood work results but wasn't able to thoroughly go over the x-rays, So he didn

The Palmers have been my vet over 30 years. I had many dogs and cats in those years and all were well cared for. Regular vet care as well as broken legs and diseases. Always knowledgeable. Giving me advice on behaviors as well. Terra Huston is a vet tech there that is also so knowledgeable in dog training and helping me with my needs. Please don't retire, I need you all.

Very friendly staff and prompt in answering any questions over phone or email and even social media. They really care for you and your pets. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get into any vets after adopting a kitten, many clinics weren't taking new patients, but I inquired about their fees via email and got a quick response with a very thorough rundown of the costs of the services they provide, while not one other clinic I contacted ever responded. I had considered just going somewhere with cheaper prices for spaying and vaccines but I'm very happy I chose this clinic. My cat is like family to

I was new to the area a couple months back and needed to find a vet for my cat, Lola. I was struggling to find a vet that was accepting new patients, until i stumbled across this one. I was so impressed by their process to see patients during these COVID pandemic times. Upon scheduling, they have an AMAZING online forum they ask you to fill out prior to coming in for your appt since you can not go inside, and that forum covers every aspect you could think of about your pet. Even though my pet was only there for vaccines, I felt like it was very thorough and the vet came out to my car and explained

We brought our Golden, Lacey, to this Veterinarians establishment and, unfortunately after care given we had to put Lacey down😢😢
I called to bring in one of my cats and was refused. The new secretary or front end associate was very disrespectful also. After we lost our beautiful girl Lacey we figured we were clients but no way would they take my cat. The reason we were given was the Vets were too busy. I even told her that I’d wait and nope they refused my cat.
Not only is this unprofessional it’s down right disrespectful!! They can take thousands of our dollars for treating our dog

Doctor Palmer is an incredible human being. He fit us in, without a scheduled appointment because our Frenchie frequired immediate medical attention. He was easy to talk to and was able to take exceptional care of our pup. It's doctors and staff like that, that make the tough times less stressful. We couldn't thank you enough.

Dr Palmer has been our vet for a very long time. He has treated 2 of our dogs and showed tremendous empathy and compassion when we had to face the hardest decision a dog owner could make. I recommend him to anyone with a furry friend, he's kind and speaks in language that you don't need a veterinarian education to understand. I know we will never go elsewhere! Friendly staff, clean clinic!

I wouldn't trust my 4 legged family to anyone else! Dr. Palmer treats my dogs with the utmost care and kindness and takes his time explaining everything to us while we are there. I've gone in for emergency visits and Kelly always got us in right away.
Recently we've taken one of our dogs that went elsewhere and within 3 weeks of treatment he's better than he's been in years.
