At Upper Village Veterinary Hospital, we aim for our pet patients to enjoy many quality years with their families. In fact, one of the first steps to supporting a long, healthy life is to establish a veterinary “home.” For neighbours in Scarborough searching for a “veterinary hospital near me,” we welcome you and your dogs and cats to our clinic in Midtown Toronto, Ontario. It is a real joy to share the following facts about our services and amenities with you.
Where are you located in relation to Scarborough?
Our hospital is nestled in the Upper Village area of Forest Hill. We are highly accessible, off Eglinton Avenue West and Avenue Road. From Scarborough, you can reach us in 20 to 30 minutes by car (depending on traffic) via Highway 401 West. Our area is also served by buses and the subway, with Eglinton West Station a 1-kilometre walk away.
If travelling by car, you don’t have to drive around looking for a parking space. We have ample, convenient parking and wheelchair accessibility. In addition to our convenient location, there are plenty of amenities nearby. Our hospital is one of 200-plus businesses within the Eglinton Way. So it’s convenient to visit us for your pet’s “check-up,” while also grabbing a bite to eat, running an errand, or treating your dog or cat to a new toy after your appointment.
What makes you different from other clinics in the area?
When searching for a veterinary clinic close to you in Scarborough, your Google search likely returned many results. Living in the GTA, we know it’s nice to have so many options for essential health care services. However, it’s important to understand that we are part of that “rare breed” of independently owned and operated veterinary practices. Our practice is owned by lead veterinarian, Dr Steven Davidson. Dr Davidson, along with Drs. Rachael Mozes and Andrea Smith take the time to understand your pets and their needs. From there, recommendations are made that are perfectly suited to each dog or cat. You never feel pressured into unnecessary services, and you can trust that any interventions or treatments are what your pet needs to be healthy and happy.
What type of care do you offer as an animal hospital?
When you hear the word “hospital,” you likely think of emergencies that require immediate attention. Our team has the capabilities to provide immediate, emergency care. However, as a full-service veterinary clinic, many of our services focus on preventing these emergencies. For instance, we start your puppy’s or kitten’s health journey with preventive services, such as microchipping, spaying, and neutering. All pets, regardless of age, can benefit from routine wellness visits. During these visits, we perform nose-to-tail exams, teeth cleaning, routine tests, and vaccinations. We also provide guidance on nutrition, exercise, and behaviour as your pet grows and their needs change.
How fast can I get my pet’s test results?
While the answer to this question varies based on your pet’s specific needs, our hospital generally distinguishes itself from other veterinary care providers in the Scarborough, Ontario area by offering advanced on-site diagnostics, including ultrasound. Combined with our comprehensive lab services, we can promptly and accurately identify the causes of any concerning changes in your pet.
What if my pet needs advanced treatment?
Our vast soft tissue, orthopaedic, and dental surgical expertise also relieves your pet’s pain and resolves the underlying condition. Additionally, we provide compassionate palliative care to support your pet’s comfort and dignity as they age and their health situation changes.
Of course, the services outlined above provide a brief overview of what Upper Village Veterinary Hospital offers to ensure your pet’s health and maintain that essential human-animal bond. We celebrate that bond, knowing that our pets’ companionship is a true gift that deserves our utmost respect. Phone (647) 560-9276 today to schedule your pet’s appointment at our Midtown Toronto office.
