Our Story

VCA Canada is a network of veterinary hospitals committed to positively impacting pets, people, and local communities.

We have compassion for the neighbourhoods we serve and every pet within them, not just those we see in our hospitals.

Every VCA Canada hospital carries a sense of pride for the legacy of excellence they’ve built and the stories of service that are deeply connected to their local communities.

VCA Canada joined the Mars family in 2017, and together, we are taking action to ensure the strength and stability of the veterinary profession.

 
 

Our Network

We have an extensive network of over 150 hospital locations across six provinces from British Columbia to Nova Scotia. Each hospital is passionate about providing the highest quality of veterinary care by pairing state-of-the-art technology, skillful patient management, and best practices with a relentless commitment to the client experience.

Hospital Types

Primary Care

Our Associates are the first point of contact for all your pet’s needs, from wellness check-ups to upset stomachs. No question is too small, which is why we are here to answer them for you, year after year. Our compassionate team members get to know you and your pets, which helps us nurture and celebrate the human-animal bond and provide expert-level care.

Specialty Care

Our board-certified specialists don’t just use best practices; they develop them. Our advanced care teams include oncologists, surgeons, cardiologist, dermatologists, veterinary dentists, neurologists and many other specialized veterinary professionals who are leaders in their field. So, no matter the situation, you can rest assured that your pet is getting the best care possible. When it matters most, you can trust VCA Canada.

Emergency Care

Our critical care and emergency care teams are trained and equipped to handle all kinds of emergencies, including traumatic injuries, respiratory emergencies, shock, poisoning, serious illness and more. By incorporating advanced veterinary and human medical techniques, our experienced teams provide the highest standard of emergency and critical care.

Urgent Care

Similar to human medicine, many VCA Canada hospitals are equipped to serve as urgent care facilities for pets. Our urgent care services offer extended hours and expert teams to help pets with immediate care needs that are not life-threatening.

Our Medicine

Known for our promise to deliver the highest quality medicine, at VCA Canada, we don’t just use state-of-the-art equipment and best practices; we develop them. Our network supports top veterinary professionals with continuing education, peer-to-peer knowledge sharing, and opportunities to develop the tools and techniques needed to tackle complex medical issues. When it matters most, pet parents can trust VCA Canada.

How We Work

We know the future of veterinary medicine is in good hands because it’s powered by the care, capability, and connection our Associates provide daily at their local hospitals.
