We know that there are many veterinarians for you to choose from in the Greater Toronto Area. However, Upper Village Veterinary Hospital is a convenient choice for residents of Thornhill, Ontario who are searching for an “animal clinic near me.” This convenience is especially important in emergency situations and when moments matter for your pet. Of course, our proximity to the northern suburbs is just one of many reasons so many of our neighbours trust their cherished animal companions to our care.
Just how close is your hospital to me?
From Thornhill, the drive to our location in the Upper Village area of the Forest Hill neighbourhood takes around 20 to 35 minutes (depending on traffic conditions). You can take either Bayview Avenue, Yonge Street, or Bathurst Street to get tous. We are easily accessible from Eglinton Avenue West and Avenue Road.
Where do I park?
There is ample parking for our clients traveling from Thornhill and the surrounding suburbs. Our slice of Midtown Toronto is home to more than 200 businesses on the Eglinton Way, so we have abundant amenities and services for visitors.
What is public transit like in the area?
Our neighbourhood is incredibly vibrant and well-served by the TTC. This is an option for properly crated and leashed pets. Eglinton West Station/Cedarvale Station is a 10- to 15-minute walk from our clinic, or you can also take the 32 Eglinton West bus.
Are there any dog parks nearby?
There are several that your pet might enjoy before or after their appointment! There is even a park with both leashed and non-leashed areas right on Eglinton Avenue West—Eglinton Park. Sherwood Park and Cedarvale Park are the next closest, located 1.5 kilometres northeast and 2 kilometres southwest of our hospital, respectively. We also welcome you to explore the number of neighbouring restaurants and shopping, and maybe even to gift your pet with a special treat for being such a “good boy” or “good girl” during their visit.
How long is the wait to see you?
Contact us, and we will promptly accommodate your needs. We keep very generous hours (until 8 p.m.) Mondays through Thursdays, as well as weekend hours. As a full-service veterinary hospital, we also have the on-site capabilities and experience to care for traumatically injured pets and other urgent conditions. If you are in the Thornhill area and need immediate help outside of regular operating hours, a Registered Veterinary Technician is available 24/7 through our veterinary telehealth service, too.
How often should my pet visit your clinic?
Drs Steven Davidson, Rachael Mozes, and Andrea Smith generally recommend that patients visit us as often as their parents visit the GP – at least once a year. Older pets and those with chronic conditions and other needs should be examined and monitored more frequently. These wellness exams and services keep your pet happy and healthy, and help to reduce the risk of emergency visits or after-hours calls. We encourage Thornhill, ON area pet parents to phone Upper Village Veterinary Hospital at (647) 560-9276, so our team can schedule your pet’s wellness appointment at our Midtown office today.
