Medical Assessment
Our comprehensive medical assessments begin with thorough physical exams to identify abnormalities, followed by bloodwork, urinalysis, and imaging diagnostics as needed. We evaluate cardiovascular, neurological, gastrointestinal, and skeletal systems to create tailored treatment plans. Our team uses advanced diagnostic tools like digital radiology and ultrasound to ensure accurate diagnoses and prompt treatment initiation for pets showing signs of illness.
Radiology (X-rays)
We utilize digital radiology for rapid, high-resolution imaging of bones, organs, and internal structures. This technology enables quick diagnosis of fractures, respiratory issues, and gastrointestinal abnormalities while using reduced radiation exposure. Sedation may be required for optimal image clarity, and our veterinarians interpret results alongside other diagnostic tests to ensure comprehensive patient evaluation.
Dentistry
Our dental services include comprehensive oral exams, professional cleanings under anesthesia, and treatment of periodontal disease. We address tooth decay, gum infections, and oral trauma while emphasizing preventive care education. Annual dental evaluations help prevent systemic health issues caused by untreated dental disease, protecting both oral health and overall pet wellness through early intervention.
Puppy Wellness
Our wellness programs for young pets include core vaccinations against rabies, distemper, and parvovirus, along with parasite screening and treatment. We provide nutrition guidance, behavioral counseling, and socialization advice to support healthy development. Early preventive care establishes lifelong health habits and helps identify congenital issues before they become serious health concerns.
Spaying
We perform elective spaying and neutering surgeries using modern anesthetic protocols to ensure patient safety. These procedures prevent unwanted litters, reduce disease risks like mammary cancer and pyometra, and address behavioral issues. Pre-surgical exams and bloodwork assess surgical readiness, while post-operative care includes pain management and activity restrictions for optimal recovery.

The staff here are so friendly and welcoming to my little pup. Making me feel like hes a little rockstar! They are quick to get back to me on on any questions and concerns I have had. I love the app tool for health reminders and appoint booking requests. Most importantly, I support this care facility, which operates with special attention to their staff and public safety by the curbside care they offer.

Amazing, professional staff. They always take care of my fur babies with love and care. Would highly recommend south peel to anyone that is vaccinated or not to drop off their pets. No discrimination ever at this Clinic, the quality of service is 5 star plus. Keep up the great work we appreciate all you do for our fur babies. Their priority is the safety and health of the animals and staff and that's what's most important.

Wonderful vet clinic and amazing vets! Very compassionate staff and outstanding care. I also appreciate their extra efforts in terms of preventing the spread of Covid-19. My jobs requires me to work with a vulnerable population so knowing that they are taking extra precaution and providing service outside unless fully vaccinated, makes me feel so much better about coming here! Highly recommend!!
