Do you provide emergency care?
Yes. We are a full-service animal hospital. We are equipped to handle traumatic and other urgent cases. Clients from Willowdale, ON, appreciate how quickly they can get to our office and how quickly Drs. Steven Davidson, Rachael Mozes, and Andrea Smith can see their pet upon arrival. Our full range of diagnostic services allows us to understand your pet's needs quickly, so we can treat them effectively and quickly. Additionally, a Registered Veterinary Technician is available 24/7 via our telehealth programme.
Do you have any money-saving tips?
One of the best things that you can do for your pet (and your budget) is to maintain wellness visits. Proactive, preventive care is always preferred because it helps your pet avoid the pain associated with potentially preventable conditions. Additionally, wellness visits and preventive care are consistently more affordable than treatments that are designed to resolve conditions after they have developed. If you are concerned about the cost of any recommended treatment, we also encourage you to share those concerns with us. We work with you to ensure your pet gets the care that they need and deserve.
