As pet people ourselves, we know how it feels to have a pet that’s been wounded, is in distress, or is simply ADR (vet speak for “Ain’t Doing Right”). We’re here for you, ready for the unexpected and prepared to step in to help when you need us most. SOVH’s team is well-versed in triage – prioritizing patients based on level of medical urgency. Our first priority is always the “this can’t wait” emergency. For urgent, but non-emergency, cases we offer same-day, or next-day appointments based on severity. We’ll see you. You can count on us.

Emergency Hospitals in our Area

Emergencies can take place outside our operating hours and when they do, please contact the closest veterinary emergency hospital:

Emergency centres can fill quickly on any given day. Once full, they won’t accept any more patients,
so it’s best to call ahead. If you’re told you’ll be seen, don’t delay. The sooner you arrive, the sooner
your pet will be seen. Expect lengthy wait times.

“Brilliant veterinary practice, we are so fortunate to have this first class facility in our area. The staff have so much compassion and kindness for both the families and pets. We had an emergency situation with our cat and Dr Peter’s went above and beyond to assist us. The entire team is exemplary. Thank you for saving our beloved Zorro, and for such amazing service.“

“I would leave more stars if I could! My 4 year old husky needed to be seen after ingesting a rib bone over the holidays. I called in to the clinic and was promptly given a same day appointment. The receptionist was very friendly and upbeat, matching the energy of all the staff we encountered during our visit. Dr. Peters and his vet tech, Cheryl, were thorough and extremely patient with my dog (she’s a little nervous at the vet). They took frequent breaks, kept the interactions positive, and didn’t push beyond her comfort zone. It was evident that the standard of care was very high.

The facility was beautiful, very clean, and as we were waiting to see the vet, staff offered me a beverage and advised that I could help myself to the fridge if I changed my mind.

I was definitely nervous to start with a new vet after ours retired recently, but that nervousness quickly subsided. I am so impressed with the team at Southeast Oakville! Highly recommend these guys if your looking for a vet in the area 🙂

Thanks again, team!
