Friends, Advocates, and Animal Lovers

First and foremost, all of the staff here at Barrie Animal Hospital are unabashed animal lovers.  Our mission in life is to advocate for animals and help pets and their owners experience a lifetime of happiness and good health together.  We truly enjoy establishing long-term relationships with our pet patients and their families and will go out of our way to help in any way we can.  The better we know your pet and your pet knows us, the more comfortable your visits will be.  We appreciate that the close relationships that we build over time enhance our ability to identify and treat potential health issues in their earliest, and usually most treatable stage.

Surgery

Our surgery suite is up-to-date and fully equipped for orthopedics, routine surgery, and many other surgical procedures.
Sterile surgical procedures are strictly adhered to in order to minimize the risk of postoperative infection.  The room is cleaned and disinfected after every procedure and again at the end of the day.  Gowns, drapes, and instruments are all sterilized to the standards of the College of Veterinarians of Ontario between surgeries.

All patients are constantly monitored during surgery for heart rate, respiratory rate, EKG, respiratory CO2 levels, and blood oxygen levels by a trained Registered Veterinarian Technician.

Laboratory

Our in-house lab allows us to run a variety of tests efficiently and conveniently.  Not having a long wait for test results is an advantage in a variety of ways, including:

Treatment for health problems can be started sooner and can be more specifically tailored to your pet's needs
Patients can be closely monitored and treatment plans can be adjusted if needed
Organ function and blood cell counts can be assessed prior to anesthesia, ensuring less risk during surgical procedures
We are able to do preliminary tests to decide if more extensive tests are necessary
We can rule out issues so that, if more extensive sent-out tests are needed, they can be more specific

Exam Rooms

We have 3 spacious exam rooms, both with fold up/down examination tables; this allows us additional space on the floor if your pet is larger in size
We use comfortable bedding on top of our exam tables during examinations to keep your pets more comfortable

Radiology
We have x-ray equipment including a digital dental x-ray unit to aid in diagnosing your pet
