Services
Surgery
Our clinics offer advanced surgical techniques for pets including spays/neuters, orthopedic procedures, and emergency surgeries. We use modern equipment with padded tables, ECG monitoring, and full blood testing. Our team performs complex procedures like CCL repairs, pyometra surgeries, and foreign body removals while maintaining strict anesthetic protocols for patient safety.
Orthopedics
Specializing in canine orthopedic care, we treat cruciate ligament injuries, fractures, and patellar luxations. Our surgical team performs CCL repairs using extra-articular methods with comprehensive post-operative rehabilitation plans. We also handle amputations and provide referrals for specialized physiotherapy services to ensure optimal recovery outcomes for pets with mobility issues.
Dental Care
We provide complete dental services including ultrasonic scaling, polishing, and digital x-rays for periodontal disease assessment. Our veterinarians perform tooth extractions when necessary and offer preventive care guidance. Regular professional cleanings help maintain oral health and prevent systemic complications from dental infections in both cats and dogs.
Rehabilitation
Our rehabilitation services include underwater treadmill therapy, laser treatments, and exercise programs for post-surgical recovery and chronic conditions. We develop customized rehab plans for orthopedic patients and pets with mobility issues, combining physical therapy with phototherapy to reduce pain and improve joint function in dogs.
Ultrasound
We utilize ultrasound technology for non-invasive diagnosis of abdominal conditions, heart disease, and pregnancy detection. Our board-certified specialists interpret images to identify tumors, bladder stones, and organ abnormalities. This diagnostic tool helps create targeted treatment plans while minimizing stress for patients through sedation-free procedures.

Twice I requested the dog's rabies tag # since it wasn't included on their invoice. They did tell me the dog had a rabies shot, but I have no tag.This was 3 weeks ago. They have not answered this request.

Bring my dog to this vet for ear infection doesn't even look in ear only swabs. Says in paperwork discharge but doesn't tell me anything. Lies to me over the phone months later!!! The doctor apparently owns the clinic. That being said this is the worst service in 35 years any animal of mine has ever received. A big shout out to kemptville Veterinary clinic For taking great care of my dog and fixing The simple problems that North Gower could not.

I just want to make a comment here and hope that the people that work there see it. We appreciate you and the effort you guys are putting forth. I was in this evening with my pup and the dr literally sat on… the floor and spent what I considered an unnecessary (but appreciated) amount of time discussing the problem with my dog. Thank you for not making us feel like you guys are the “oil changers” of the vet world. “Cooper” thanks you too.
