To keep animals and families together, the Ontario SPCA and Humane Society offers basic veterinary services in York Region and Barrie for families without the means to take their animal to a local veterinarian for routine care. The clinics provide:
- Physical examinations
- Vaccinations
- Microchipping
- End-of-life care*
Animals requiring additional care will be referred to a local veterinarian for treatment. These clinics do not have the capacity to provide emergency care, or to treat ill or injured animals.
There may be a fee associated with these services that will be discussed at the time of booking.
*End-of-life care is available for animals who have reached the natural end of their life, and their family does not have a veterinarian to perform humane euthanasia to end their suffering. We know that this is an extremely difficult and emotional decision to make for your beloved pet, and we are here to support you in any way we can.
*Note: These clinics do not have the capacity to provide emergency care.
