Welcome to Kingsville Animal Clinic
Since 1985 Kingsville Animal Clinic has achieved & maintained “Hospital Status” with the College of Veterinarians of Ontario which is their highest accreditation rating. To achieve this status, substantial time and resources have been invested to establish a facility capable of delivering the highest standard of medical and surgical care for your pet.
Kingsville Animal Clinic was first established in 1977 by Dr Gordon Brown (in those days, as a satellite of Essex Animal Clinic). We have been at our current location since 1984.
Our last major renovation was undertaken in 1999 to extend the reception and front office areas. Through each successive renovation we have striven to keep our facility open, bright, airy and clean. We have twin air-conditioning/heating units for the facility to ensure comfort and odour control in all areas, as well as provide optimal air exchange and positive pressure flow in critical areas (such as surgical rooms) to meet and surpass hospital standards for infection/sepsis control. Anaesthetic waste gasses are vented from the facility through an active (internal fan driven) gas scavenger system.
Our reception area features wide open spaces and plenty of seating for your comfort. We have a holding cage for wriggly cats and small dogs, and leash hooks on the reception desk that would hold even the most assertive sled dog. We have a few resources available to keep (human) youngsters amused should you wish.
We take great care over our medical records and have been “computerized” since 1995. We actively participate in the “peer review of medical records” program through the College of Veterinarians of Ontario.
Each exam room is large with comfortable seating. Each exam table is movable to give extra space as/when needed. Each exam room is well equipped and self-sufficient. Our pharmacy is well stocked to immediately meet the needs of virtually any medical circumstance. The operating theatre is well equipped for general surgery, including orthopaedic repair of bone fractures. Our intensive care unit features both small and large (built in) incubators and life support systems including oxygen therapy. Our in house lab is well equipped to analyze most medical samples including routine blood counts, serum chemistry, urine and fecal analyses, as well as heartworm and feline viral screens, mycology and basic cytology. Our wards include a variety of kennels from small at cages to spacious indoor dog runs.
