Good afternoon Everyone!

🚧We have the next phase of the construction update!!!! 🚧

To reduce impacts during busy daytime hours and improve safety for crews, paving will happen overnight in stages. Traffic will remain partially open throughout construction, but lane closures and access changes will vary each night. Work will take place nightly from 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. through June 4, with June 5 reserved if needed due to weather.

Drivers should expect delays, follow posted signs and detours, allow extra travel time, and plan ahead using navigation apps such as Waze or Google Maps.

Please see the link for the detour that the city of London is showing for the first week of June 2026.

⚠ Please be advised to give yourself ample time when travelling for your pets appointment! As appointments are booked for 30 min slots, if you are running 15mins late we may have to cancel and reschedule your appointment time ⚠

The Wellington Gateway project is one of three rapid transit projects in London, using dedicated bus lanes to improve transit reliability on Wellington Road.

Proof that compassion comes in all sizes! 💖

Our co-op student, Denise, is making a brand-new, tiny best friend today.

We love seeing our students bring so much love and gentleness to every animal that walks (or scurries!) through our doors.

How cute is little Remmy? 🐀✨

Good morning everyone!

Just a reminder we will be CLOSED Monday May 18th for the Victoria long weekend! We will resume regular hours on Tuesday May 19th, 2026.

🚧 With the ongoing construction, please give yourself ample time to come as it is heavy traffic. If you are very late for the appointment we will have to reschedule! We only have so much allotted time per appointment. 🚧

Thank you everyone and we wish you all a very happy, safe and fun long weekend! 🐾

Good morning everyone!!

🚧 Here is the update for the construction in front of our hospital! 🚧

Starting Wednesday, May 6, Phase 2A of the Wellington Gateway construction project will begin along the south Rapid Transit corridor.

This stage brings two big pieces of work together at the same time: we’re replacing aging underground pipes and utilities and building new rapid transit improvements along Wellington Road.

What this means for your trip
• Traffic will shift to the west side of Wellington Road and the south side of Commissioners Road
• One lane will stay open in each direction
• Lanes on Commissioners Road will be reduced
• The east sidewalk on Wellington Road will be closed
• Access to the hospital and local businesses will be maintained during construction
• We are working closely with the hospitals to ensure continued access, including for emergency services
• These changes will be in place from May through Summer 2026

⌚PLEASE GIVE YOURSELF AMPLE TIME TO COME TO YOUR APPOINTMENT. ⌚

⚠⚠We Only have so much time per appointment, if you are running quite late we may have to reschedule the appointment! ⚠⚠

🐾Headline: Insurance Policy Update: Effective May 1st 🐾

We’re updating how we handle insurance claims to ensure our staff stays focused on clinical care. Here is how it will work:

✅ Can I submit my own claim?
Yes! We encourage this as it often leads to faster reimbursement. Just snap a photo of your receipt using your provider’s app. We will provide all the receipts you need at check-out.

✅ Can the clinic still do it for me?
Yes. If you would like our staff to manage the submission, we are happy to help for a service fee, which is due prior to the claim being sent.

✅ When does this start?
May 1st, 2026.

Thank you for being such a wonderful part of the Wellington-Baseline family! 🐶❤️🐱

Morning, everyone! 🐾

Did you know that heartworm isn't just a "dog thing"? 🦟

Even if your cat never sets a paw outside, they can still be at risk. Mosquitoes are notorious for sneaking through window screens and open doors—and it only takes one bite to transmit heartworm (from an infected mosquito).

Stay ahead of the buzz this season. Check out the American Heartworm Society for the facts, or click our link here:

🚧 Pardon our dust! Roadwork is starting soon. 🚧

Hi everyone! We wanted to give you a quick "heads-up" that construction is scheduled to begin right in front of the clinic any day now.

🚧 We know that orange cones and traffic can be a headache, so we’re asking for a little extra patience as we all navigate these changes together. To ensure your pet gets the dedicated time and care they deserve, please try to leave a bit earlier for your upcoming appointments.

Because our exam slots are precisely scheduled, arriving late may mean we have to shorten the exam or, in some cases, reschedule your visit to another day. ⏰

🐾 We appreciate your patience and can’t wait to see you (and your furry friends) soon! 🐾
