WE'RE ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS

About Us

Combining Trust and Innovation with Respect and Empowerment

Thank you for choosing Orillia Pet Hospital, where we're committed to providing the most exceptional veterinary medicine in the industry. Our animal hospital has been serving the community since 1978, and we are proud to have been accredited by the American Animal Hospital Association since 2013, showing you just how important exceptionally high veterinary standards are to our team.

We also only hire Registered Veterinary Technicians (RVTs) to work with and assist our veterinarians, so we can guarantee that your pet is receiving the best care possible. The experience and compassion of our RVT team members are truly invaluable, and we could not imagine maintaining this hospital without their skills.

How High Are Our Veterinary Standards?

Orillia Pet Hospital is an AAHA accredited animal hospital, which means that we voluntarily have our hospital inspected by the American Animal Hospital Association and pass with flying colors! The American Animal Hospital Association, or AAHA, examines us in 900 different areas, from cleanliness to surgical standards and everything in between. In order to achieve our AAHA accreditation, we must receive passing marks in every area! Only about 15% of Canadian animal hospitals are accredited.

We believe in offering the very best care for your best friend, no matter what!

Trust

The team at Orillia Pet Hospital understands the tremendous level of trust you place in us when you bring your pets in for veterinary care. Whether your pet is visiting us for a wellness exam with vaccines or for a comprehensive surgery under general anesthetic, you trust us to always provide the highest quality of care.

  • Why Trust Matters: It is essential to us to foster relationships built on this mutual trust. You can depend on us to be honest with you and to treat your pet as we would our own.

Respect

Respect

Respect plays a large role at Orillia Pet Hospital. It starts with our own respect for our clinic and our reputation in the community, and it involves:

  • Hospital Atmosphere: We ensure that we offer a friendly, inviting atmosphere, and a well-maintained clinic with state-of-the-art equipment, clean exam rooms, and a sterile surgery suite.
  • Respect for You: We know that all of you have your own story, and we strive to understand every situation by being open and honest and treating everyone with a high level of respect.
  • Respect for Your Pet: We respect your relationship with your pet and honour this by appreciating the emotional and physical wellbeing of each pet. We use gentle handling, calming pheromone products in clinic, and always provide appropriate pain medication.

Creating this environment of respect would not be possible if we didn't first respect ourselves. Each and every one of us recognizes the high level of compassion, kindliness, and care we provide to the team.

Empowerment

Empowerment

Working at Orillia Pet Hospital isn't just a “job” for any one of us. We start each day knowing that we have the power to affect every person and every pet that we encounter.

  • Decision Making: Through the innovative equipment we use, to the commitment we have to you and your pet, to the trust and respect that we have for each other, we know that we are empowered to make decisions for ourselves and for the clinic.
  • Expectations: We are given the opportunity to improve ourselves to exceed not just our expectations, but also your expectations.
  • Empowering You: We also empower you to make the best decision for you and your pet by educating you and helping you at every step of the way.

Being Happy & Having Fun

Being Happy & Having Fun

We take our work seriously at Orillia Pet Hospital, but we approach every day, every client, and every pet with a happy and positive attitude.

  • Because We Value You and Your Pet: Our mutual love and passion for what we do have created a tight-knit group that we hope extends to include you and your pet.
  • Because We Care: We share in the joy of meeting your new little family member, we keep in touch with you before and after each surgical procedure because we know you're worried, and we feel your sadness when saying goodbye to a loved one.
  • Because Actions Dictate Atmosphere: We embrace our individual weirdness because we think it keeps the day-to-day interesting, and it creates a fun environment for your family.
