Dear Clients,

With recent changes to restrictions on businesses, we have made some important updates to our operating policies.

1. WE CAN NOW SEE ALL CASES BY APPOINTMENT ONLY

This includes vaccines, wellness exams, blood work, spays and neuters, dental services, and more!

2. SAFETY MEASURES TO KEEP EVERYONE SAFE

We will allow 1 client per appointment to accompany their pet into the examination room.
Face masks are required to enter the building.
Please call us at 613.622.1700 when you arrive and we will provide further instructions.
We kindly ask for your patience while we get used to the new procedures as the exam rooms need to be properly sanitized between each client.
To ensure the health and safety of everyone, please maintain a 6-foot distance from staff members while in the exam room. A veterinarian and team member will handle your pet during the exam.
If you do not feel comfortable coming into the clinic, curbside service for appointments is still available.
Technician appointments will remain curbside at this time.

3. ONLINE CONSULTATIONS ARE AVAILABLE
