Anything with fur! We're a "small animal" clinic. That means we treat dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, gerbils, and hamsters.

The Links Road Animal Hospital at 416-223-1165, or
High Park Animal Hospital at 416-763-4200
|

|
Our regular business hours are Monday to Friday from 7:30 a.m.– 7:00 p.m.

TTC busses stop right in front of the clinic. We're painted bright yellow with blue trim. Dogs and cats are painted on the front. You can't miss us!
|
Why can't I email you with a description of my pet's problem?
|
That's not feasible for a number of reasons. First of all, the College of Veterinarians of Ontario forbids prescribing treatments for animals the veterinarian has not seen, especially if no professional relationship exists between the client and the veterinarian. That makes sense, if you think about it. Secondly, many very different medical conditions have similar symptoms. And each medical condition would have a different treatment. Thirdly, having a veterinarian at the computer all day answering questions would prevent them from working on people who showed up for appointments. Finally, the quality of the veterinarian's response to the question would depend on the quality of your writing and observing ability. If the pet owner missed a few symptoms, that would make the diagnosis worthless.
