When the case is critical, you shouldn’t have to wait on anyone else’s equipment, results, or schedule.

We believe great care should be within reach for everyone — including in the moments when a pet’s family needs it most. Our hospital is modern and community-rooted, built around accessible, high-quality care. For our emergency veterinarians, that means the speed and depth of a fully equipped emergency and referral hospital, with a surgical and diagnostic team right down the hall.

You’ll work hand in hand with our surgery team every day. And when an emergency patient needs surgery, you won’t be waiting on a transfer or a callback: our technical staff are ready to jump into surgery with you, with our operating rooms right here.

Our modern facility in the heart of downtown Toronto is purpose-built for small animal medicine, surgery, and emergency care, with imaging, laboratory, and surgical services all on site. When a patient comes through the door, chances are you can stabilize them, work them up, image them, and treat them — right here, with the people and technology to back you.

What You’ll Do

- Triage, stabilize, diagnose, and treat emergent and critical small animal patients as part of a collaborative emergency team.
- Make fast, well-supported decisions using same-visit imaging and lab results, with technicians who own those workflows so you can stay focused on the patient.
- Work hand in hand with our surgeons, and when a patient needs emergency surgery, move into the OR with our technical staff ready to go.
- Communicate clearly and compassionately with families during stressful moments — honest about prognosis, options, and cost, and kind throughout.
- Hand off cases thoughtfully to colleagues across services, and keep transparent records so continuity of care is never in question.

What Sets Our Hospital Apart Emergency medicine runs on speed and information.



We put both under one roof:
- Full imaging suite, all in-house: digital radiography (XR), CT, and ultrasound — no waiting on outside referrals to move a critical case forward.
- Complete in-house laboratory for same-visit diagnostics and faster answers when minutes matter.
- Dedicated radiology and laboratory technicians — specialists who run the imaging and lab workflow so you can stay focused on medicine.
- Multiple fully equipped operating rooms and on-site surgeons, so emergent surgical cases don’t have to be transferred out.
- One roof, full spectrum of care: emergency, surgery, general practice, and wellness —

collaborate across services instead of shipping cases out the door.

The Team You’ll Join

You’ll practice alongside surgeons, fellow emergency doctors, and generalist veterinarians, supported by highly trained technicians and support staff. That mix makes mentorship part of the everyday: a crashing patient, a puzzling work-up, a tough surgical call — there’s always an experienced colleague nearby to think it through with you.

And we’re still growing. We’re expanding our research team and developing future orthopedic streams, opening real pathways for emergency veterinarians who want to deepen a clinical interest, contribute to research, or grow toward a specialty focus over time.
