About us
We are located 20 minutes south of the vibrant downtown Ottawa Market. As Canada’s capital, Ottawa is the perfect place to experience some of the country’s best attractions, celebrations, and flavors. You can tour iconic Parliament Hill, visit many of the country’s national museums, and take an epic paddle, cruise, or skate on the Rideau Canal—a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Around every corner on both the Ontario and Quebec sides of the Ottawa River, lively neighborhoods beckon you with tasty craft beer, fresh local food, and unique shopping experiences. Pristine outdoor spaces within the city and in the nearby countryside offer a bounty of activities including cycling, rafting, hiking, and skiing. And no matter the season, events like Winterlude, the Canadian Tulip Festival, and Bluesfest fill the city with excitement and beauty.
We operate out of a 24,500 square foot facility. We have a large referring veterinarian community of over 300 General practice and Emergency hospitals referring a challenging and diverse caseload. We have a great group of veterinarians who support each other and work collaboratively as a team. A full suite of on-site diagnostic imaging includes a Toshiba Aquilion 64 slice CT, .25T Vet MR MRI, Pulsera Fluoroscopy unit, Philips ultrasound and echocardiogram, Karl Storz endoscope and two Sound digital radiograph suites.
