Diagnostics
Our on-site lab and advanced imaging technology enable rapid diagnosis of illnesses and injuries. We perform blood work, urinalysis, x-rays, and ultrasounds to identify health issues early. Timely diagnostics improve treatment outcomes and help maintain your pet's long-term wellness through proactive care.

So helpful with emergencies, even if we aren't their clients yet! The caring gesture was greatly appreciated.

After having being rejected by another vet clinic, the team at Markham Vet clinic quickly came to the rescue to provide my cat with his regular food. We moved here from Montreal and after explaining the situation, the lovely ladies at reception were willing to take us (Max my cat) on and, in no time we had his food! Not only that, but even after multiple phone calls, those ladies (all of them) were kind, respectful and I could even sense the smiles over the phone. THAT is excellent customer service! BRAVO! Thank you again ladies! I know Max will be in good hands

While you might get okay quality service here, the vet is in for making money. It's like going to a car mechanic, and having them throw multiple solutions to see what sticks and makes the car work. I would explain the experience at Markham Vet Clinic the same way. The doctor is not bad, but literally every time we go to see her with the dog, she either doesn't know what is wrong with him [doesn't understand the root cause], refers him to specialist... but at the same time, gives a bunch of "temporary" medications that cost north of $500, that are meant to cure the symptoms. I am not against the

My family has been bringing our pets here for close to two decades and we have been exceptionally satisfied with the care and attention we have received. In recent years as my cat's health has declined, I have found the Markham Vet Clinic to be extremely caring, informative and empathetic. I would recommend this clinic to any pet parent!
