🍎 Back to School, Back to Routine 🍎

As the backpacks come out and the house gets quiet again, remember - your pets feel the shift too.

A few things to keep in mind as everyone heads back:

🐾 Watch for the blues. Pets used to a full house all summer can get anxious when everyone's suddenly gone. Extra enrichment, a worn t-shirt that smells like you, or a food puzzle can ease the transition.

🐾 Mind the supplies. Glue sticks, markers, and especially loose small items can be tempting — and dangerous — to curious pets. Keep the new school gear up and away.

🐾 Lunchbox leftovers. Grapes, raisins, chocolate, and anything with xylitol are a no for pets. A dropped snack can mean a call to us.

🐾 New season, good time for a checkup. Fall is a great moment to get ahead on wellness visits before the busy season hits. And if your pet is on our health plan you get free checkups all year!

Here's to a smooth transition for the whole family — two-legged and four. 💛

When you call Barrie Animal Hospital after hours, you don't get a machine or a "call back Monday" message. You get a live, Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) on the line — a trained professional who can triage your pet's situation and help you decide what to do next.

Worried but not sure if it's an emergency? That's exactly what they're there for. No guessing, no waiting until morning to feel reassured.

Just one more way we're here to help — day or night.

It’s Check the Chip Day!

If your pet ever gets lost, a microchip can be one of the best ways to help bring them home. But there’s one important catch — the contact information attached to that chip needs to be current!

Take a minute today to make sure your pet’s microchip information is up to date. Have you changed your phone number, email address or moved since your pet was chipped? Now is the perfect time to update it.

Not sure if your pet is microchipped? We’re happy to scan them for you. It only takes a moment and can give you a little extra peace of mind.

A tiny chip might not look like much, but when a pet goes missing, it can make all the difference.

Open all long weekend — Friday to Monday, noon to 10 PM.
Urgent care at Barrie Animal Hospital feels the way it should: warm hands, familiar compassion, and the same standard of care you'd expect from your family vet — not just a number in an emergency room. When the unexpected happens, your pet is treated like one of our own.
Enjoy your long weekend knowing we've got you if you need us.

Your pet's full year of preventive care — exams, vaccines, parasite prevention, diagnostic screening — spread across 12 predictable payments. No surprise bills, no skipped visits. We're here to help.

Help isn't something we do. It's who we are. 🐾

Every appointment, every phone call, every hard conversation with a worried pet parent—it all comes back to one thing: helping people help their pets.

We're here to give you the guidance, the tools, and the support to be an active partner in your pet's care. Because the best outcomes happen when we're in it together.

That's the whole job. That's the whole heart of it.

When she's not in the clinic, you'll find Dr. Rodriguez dancing, diving into continuing education, and spending time with her family and her own crew of pets: cats Arabella and Monster, and dogs Ringo and Mushu.

Welcome to the family, Dr. Rodriguez —we're so glad you're here! 💚
