Preventive Medicine
Our preventive medicine program focuses on early disease detection and health maintenance through annual checkups, vaccinations, and parasite control. We create customized wellness plans for pets at every life stage, from puppies and kittens to senior animals. Our comprehensive approach includes nutritional counseling, dental assessments, and behavioral consultations to ensure long-term health and vitality.
Dental Care
We provide complete dental services including professional cleanings, extractions, and oral surgery using modern anesthetic protocols. Our dental radiography system enables precise diagnosis of hidden issues like root abscesses and periodontal disease. We educate pet owners on home care techniques and offer specialized diets and dental products to maintain optimal oral health, which directly impacts overall well-being.
Surgical Services
Our surgical department handles routine and complex procedures including spays/neuters, soft tissue surgeries, and orthopedic interventions. Equipped with advanced monitoring equipment, we ensure patient safety during operations. Our surgeons work closely with pet owners to explain procedures, recovery processes, and post-operative care requirements while maintaining strict pain management protocols.
Senior Care
Our senior care program addresses age-related health challenges through semi-annual exams and targeted diagnostic testing. We manage chronic conditions like arthritis and kidney disease while monitoring cognitive changes in aging pets. The program emphasizes quality-of-life improvements through pain management, dietary adjustments, and environmental modifications tailored to each senior animal's specific needs.
Emergency Services
While we provide in-hours emergency care at both locations, our practice partners with 24/7 emergency clinics for after-hours critical situations. We offer triage assessment during regular hours and coordinate seamless transfers to specialized emergency facilities when needed. Our staff provides clear guidance for pet owners facing urgent medical situations outside our operating hours.

Though weve only made two visits to Dufferin Veterinary Hospital so far ( scheduled shots for our new puppy ), were very impressed with the warm welcome and the proficiency of the staff. Looking forward to a long relationship.

Very friendly, I have gone a few times and no issues. Staff and the doctor is great. Wish I could go in with my pet but I understand due to circumstances.

Good Morning,
As I'm writing this review and I feel kind of embarrassed that it took me this long to write a review. Last night I had to make one of the toughest decisions and put one of my dogs down. She was a Yorkshire Terrier and lived a great 16 year life. I always brought her to see Dr. Voyame ever since she was a puppy, if it was in Caledon East or in Orangeville. Ever appointment or phone call my wife or I had with Dr.Voyame in regards to our dog, she always gave her honest opinion like if it was her own dog. A truly professional person inside and out and we can't thank you enough for all

Apparently we cant do anything right by office staff.. puppy doctor services very good. I have less bleeding from puppy nails. Med staff good to people here. Came recommended by fam member. Dry food excellent. Never met a dog that likes high end soft food...why? My puppy likes it here. Tolerating flea preventative well. No reaction to vaccines. Staff clearly like animals.
