"Now Offering Veterinary Care from the Comfort of Your Own Home"

We Offer Telehealth

Our mission at Chippawa Animal Hospital is to understand your pet needs and provide accurate guidance and advice. We can help you with numerous concerns, from puppy and kitten advice to behavioural and dietary consults to end of life discussions. With the addition of pictures or video from your home we can perform many rechecks on recent problems such as surgery incision followups and skin problems. We can also assist with determining the urgency of a situation and deciding whether your pet requires immediate care or whether you can wait to see your regular veterinarian or alternatively provide some management at home.
