Vaccinations
We provide core and lifestyle-based vaccinations for puppies, kittens, and adult pets to prevent infectious diseases. Our protocols follow AAHA guidelines and are tailored to each pet's age, health, and exposure risks. Vaccinations protect against common illnesses like rabies, distemper, and bordetella while supporting herd immunity in the community.
Dental Care
Our dental services include professional cleanings, extractions, and periodontal treatments to maintain oral health. Advanced diagnostics like intraoral X-rays help identify hidden issues, while preventive care educates owners on home maintenance. Healthy teeth and gums contribute to overall wellness and longevity in pets.
Surgical Services
We perform soft tissue and orthopedic surgeries using modern techniques and anesthesia monitoring. Preoperative bloodwork ensures patient safety, while pain management protocols support recovery. Procedures include spays/neuters, mass removals, and fracture repairs, all conducted in a sterile surgical suite.
Senior Wellness
Our senior wellness program includes biannual exams, bloodwork, and mobility assessments to detect age-related conditions early. Tailored nutrition and arthritis management plans help maintain quality of life. Regular monitoring allows us to address issues like kidney disease or diabetes proactively.
Nutrition Counselling
We offer personalized nutrition plans based on life stage, health status, and dietary sensitivities. Our team educates on portion control, weight management, and prescription diets for medical conditions. Proper nutrition prevents obesity-related illnesses and supports immune function in pets of all ages.

They took the time to allow my nervous rescue to get to know them, she used to be terrified of going to my last vet, as they would just muzzle her, making her even more scared so I switched to these guys- she loves them, hasn't needed to be muzzled once

Very disappointing. On their website they said their mission is to meet the needs of local pet owners as well as vacationers in cottage country. They said they would work closely with your vet at home so your pet would receive the best care for their needs. I called to make an appt. because my cat was ill and we're in Orillia for the summer. They said their earliest appt. was in October. I told them my cat couldn't wait that long and they said they couldn't help me.

Caring, helpful and kindhearted animal lovers. Easy to find location. A little pushy for medications and add ons, but really a nice place.
