⚠️ Important: Temporary Hospital Closure

The safety of our patients, clients and team members is always our top priority. As a precaution, our hospital is temporarily closed due to concerns related to carbon monoxide levels in the building. The hospital will remain closed until the necessary assessments and safety measures have been completed and it is safe to resume operations. At this time, we do not have a confirmed reopening date.

We understand that an unexpected closure can be concerning, particularly when your pet needs urgent or emergency care.

To ensure continuity of care, we are redirecting clients and patients to Toronto Animal Health Partners (TAHP) during this time. They are located at 1 Scarsdale Rd, Toronto ON M3B 2R2, 24 km away from our location.

We appreciate your understanding and patience as we work through this situation. We will share updates as more information becomes available.

Thank you for trusting us with your pet's care.

Welcome to Vaughan-Richmond Hill Veterinary Emergency Clinic

When your pet has a crisis, we are the emergency vet near you for cats and dogs in the Vaughan and Richmond Hill area. We are open for pet emergencies, walk-ins, transfers, and medical and surgical referral emergency veterinary services from family practices in the area.

VRHVEC was opened in 2009 to serve the Richmond Hill and surrounding areas as an after-hours emergency clinic and became a part of the VetStrategy network in 2022. Now, under new management and with the mentorship of our new Hospital Director, we have grown to return to 24-hour access year-round!

If your pet has an emergency, please call 905-884-1832 to speak with one of our team members.

We work on a triage system, just like the emergency department in a human hospital. This means that the most critical patients are seen first, but we will always do our best to ensure that you have the shortest possible wait. Calling ahead to alert us of your pet’s condition will help us prepare for your pet’s arrival, but due to the nature of our work it is not possible to give accurate wait times.

Our mission is to offer excellent patient care and client support services. We promise to care for your pet as if it were our own.
