October is RVT Month, and we want to say thank you to the Registered Veterinary Technicians on our team. 💙

Our RVTs are medically trained professionals who bring skill and care to every patient and every client. You see them at the start of the visit and at the end of it. In between, they’re monitoring anesthesia, running lab work, placing catheters, doing dental procedures, and explaining at-home care to our clients. They’re also the ones who sit on the floor with a nervous dog, cuddle a kitty recovering from surgery, and who call the next day to ask how your pet is doing.

We’re grateful for them, and we’re proud of the way they look after pets and the people who love them.

Have you had a great experience with one of our RVTs? We'd love to hear in the comments!

Our RVTs just got some well-deserved recognition. 🎉

Thank you, Mayor Alex Nuttall, for proclaiming October Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) Month in Barrie. We’re proud of our teams at Barrie Animal Hospital and Simcoe Veterinary Hospital, and proud to see their profession celebrated by our city.

Here’s to RVTs, this month and every month.

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Barrie Animal Hospital! 🐾

We’re grateful for the pets and people who trust us with their care, and for a team that shows up for them, holidays included.

Our team just got a little more bilingual.
Dr. Jennifer Rodriguez, a full-time veterinarian at Barrie Animal Hospital, speaks Spanish. That means you can share every detail, in the language that comes easiest, and we'll catch what matters. 💛

¡Conozca a la Dra. Jennifer Rodríguez!

La Dra. Rodríguez es veterinaria de tiempo completo en Barrie Animal Hospital y habla español.
A veces, lo más difícil de una visita al veterinario es explicar cómo se ha sentido su mascota. Poder hacerlo en el idioma en que se siente más cómodo marca una gran diferencia, para usted y para su mascota.
Si usted o alguien que conoce prefiere comunicarse en español, estaremos encantados de atenderle. 💛

We are a companion animal practice committed to providing quality and compassionate care.

🍎 Back to School, Back to Routine 🍎

As the backpacks come out and the house gets quiet again, remember - your pets feel the shift too.

A few things to keep in mind as everyone heads back:

🐾 Watch for the blues. Pets used to a full house all summer can get anxious when everyone's suddenly gone. Extra enrichment, a worn t-shirt that smells like you, or a food puzzle can ease the transition.

🐾 Mind the supplies. Glue sticks, markers, and especially loose small items can be tempting — and dangerous — to curious pets. Keep the new school gear up and away.

🐾 Lunchbox leftovers. Grapes, raisins, chocolate, and anything with xylitol are a no for pets. A dropped snack can mean a call to us.

🐾 New season, good time for a checkup. Fall is a great moment to get ahead on wellness visits before the busy season hits. And if your pet is on our health plan you get free checkups all year!

Here's to a smooth transition for the whole family — two-legged and four. 💛

Long weekend plans? We've got you covered. Unlike a lot of the calendar, urgent care doesn't take a holiday — and neither do we.

Enjoy the long weekend — we're here Friday through Monday from noon until 10pm if you need us. 💛

When you call Barrie Animal Hospital after hours, you don't get a machine or a "call back Monday" message. You get a live, Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) on the line — a trained professional who can triage your pet's situation and help you decide what to do next.

Worried but not sure if it's an emergency? That's exactly what they're there for. No guessing, no waiting until morning to feel reassured.

Just one more way we're here to help — day or night.
