“In recent years, our province has experienced several extreme weather related events including drought, wildfires, hurricanes and flooding. Expecting the unexpected and having an evacuation plan ready for you and your pets means less stress, difficulty and worry in the event of a natural disaster or emergency.”

A visit to the veterinary clinic can be a stressful experience for our pets. In order to ensure the continued safety of our patients, clients and team, we would like to gently remind our clientele that every patient visiting the hospital is required to be on a leash or in a carrier while in our waiting room.

Even if your pet is comfortable around unusual dogs, cats or people, other animals or clients in the waiting room may not be.

Our pets can be especially uncomfortable or stressed if they are sick, injured or otherwise not themselves.

So we ask that you please be considerate during your visit and keep your pet with you at all times.

Thank you!
