We are now offering after-hours consultations with an Ontario licensed veterinarian through a new partnership with Smart.Vet. To submit a request, please go to Smart.Vet and click ‘Get Started’.
Once you’ve created an account, you can decide to send in a message or request a phone/video call. Please note that messages are meant for non-urgent cases and will be responded to within 8 hours of submission. When you’ve submitted a phone/video request, a veterinarian will reach out to you as soon as they’re available. Please just wait for a call from 289-768-8784 - this may take more than 20 minutes when we’re experiencing high call volumes.
Once a request has been submitted, you can add additional notes or add images/videos to the consultation for the veterinarians reference.
Our Veterinary Team
The way we do anything is the way we do everything: carefully and with kindness, intentionally, and with uncompromising standards. From our surgical equipment, to our staff training and growth, to the way we greet you and your pet... we do things the way we would like our own pets and ourselves to be treated. Because we believe you deserve to feel, in your gut, that your are doing right by your pet and your family. That the team and facility that is caring for your pet is truly the best place to be so that you don't have to worry quite so much about your pet's health. Our team strives to be the "comforting warm blanket" when you and your pet need one.
In order to do that, we need a special kind of team, and that's exactly what you will find here. Our veterinary team is a blend of veterinarians and registered nurses that each have many years of experience; a team that is focused on providing the best care possible for your pet while treating them with patience and gentleness.
Welcome to Verzijlenberg Veterinary Hospital, where you and your pet always come first.
