Preventative Medicine
Our preventative medicine programs include vaccinations, parasite control, and health screenings tailored to each animal's needs. We focus on early disease detection through regular check-ups and advanced diagnostics. Services cover flea/tick prevention, heartworm testing, dental care, and customized wellness plans for pets, equine, and livestock.
Emergency Care
24/7 emergency services handle critical cases through on-call veterinarians and teletriage support. Large animal emergencies receive immediate dispatch while small animal owners access guidance for urgent care decisions. Partnerships with regional clinics ensure continuous support after hours with no additional service fees.
Equine Care
Specialized equine services include reproductive exams, lameness evaluations, and dental care using power equipment. We offer pre-purchase exams, Coggins testing, and nutritional consultations. Mobile services support herd health management for performance horses and breeding operations across Ontario's rural communities.
Bovine Health
Comprehensive bovine health programs feature reproductive ultrasound, herd nutrition analysis, and mastitis management. Our ProAction advisors implement vaccination protocols and milking routine evaluations. Emergency services for dairy and beef cattle operate seven days a week with on-farm diagnostic capabilities.
Diagnostic Imaging
In-clinic digital radiology and ultrasonography provide rapid diagnostics for companion animals and livestock. Equine practitioners use advanced imaging for lameness assessments while small animal cases benefit from immediate results. This technology supports precise treatment planning for internal conditions, injuries, and reproductive monitoring.
