Caring for Your Senior Pet

By the age of 7, your pet is considered a senior here at the Park Road Vet Clinic. An annual visit to your veterinarian is important even if they appear healthy, but there are many things you can do at home to ensure optimum care for your pet.

Celebrating Senior Pets This Fall

You may have heard the saying ‘age is not a disease.’ At Park Road Veterinary Clinic, we want to share this message with all our clients and their pets.

Senior Dogs Need Homes Too

Most people go to the SPCA looking for the cutest puppy, but the older dogs need homes too. There are a lot of benefits of adopting an older pet.

Saying Goodbye

We saw your pup come through the door and fell in love. We watched him grow through the goofy puppy stage, all legs and tongue hanging out. We sat up all night with him when he ate the pesticide and had the shakes and needed IV fluids and meds all night.

Mirror’s Story

Mirror is a 12 years old, DSH silver tabby. She is a happy, playful girl who likes her food. She had slow weight loss and then began to jump on the counters to scavenge our food.

Dear Clients,

With recent changes to restrictions on businesses, we are pleased to advise that effective May 15, 2020 some restrictions on veterinary practices have been lifted. Based on these changes, below are some important updates to our operating policies.

1. WE CAN NOW SEE ALL CASES BY APPOINTMENT ONLY

This includes vaccines, wellness exams, blood work, heartworm testing, spays and neuters, dental services, and more!

2. SAFETY MEASURES TO KEEP EVERYONE SAFE

Continue our "closed waiting room" policy to protect our clients and staff. When you arrive, please remain outside the hospital and use your cell phone to call 519-759-3031. We will take a history of your pet's health and discuss any concerns. A staff member will then meet you outside to bring your pet into the hospital for an examination. The Veterinarian will call you to discuss the recommended treatment plan. After your appointment, a staff member will return your pet to you outside, and take care of any needed medications and payment.
Continue the use of credit cards as the preferred payment method.
Continue with curbside pickup of food and medication (unless you have used our online store and are having your order delivered directly to your home). To place an order through our online store, visit our website and click on "Online Store".

3. ONLINE CONSULTATIONS ARE AVAILABLE

If you wish to connect with a veterinarian via message, phone or video, visit our website and follow the "Online Consultation" link.

4. OPERATING HOURS

We are OPEN with the following hours:

Monday to Friday: 8:00 am - 7:00 pm
Saturday to Sunday: 9:00 am - 3:00 pm

Thank you for your patience and understanding and we look forward to seeing you and your furry family members again!
