Welcome to Blue Cross Animal Hospital. We've been taking care of pets and their people in Hamilton for over 80 years.

We love what we do and want to share our passion.

Spaying or neutering can provide important health and population-control benefits, but the best timing isn't necessarily identical for every pet.

Age, breed, size, health, and individual risk factors can all play a role in deciding when to perform the procedure.

Have questions about what's appropriate for your pet? Call (905) 522-6879 to talk with our team.

The Blue Cross team will be staying home this Saturday to prepare for the evening’s ghouls and goblins. Please be sure to contact us or visit the clinic by tomorrow (Friday) if your pet needs food or medication for the weekend.

If you have trick-or-treaters coming to your door, remember to help keep your pets calm, make sure they aren’t able to escape and keep the treats out of reach.

HREVC can be reached at (905) 529-1004 for emergency services.

Cats are naturally curious, and batting objects around helps them explore movement, texture, and sound. Unfortunately, sometimes their experiments involve your favorite coffee mug. Keeping breakable or potentially dangerous items out of reach can help curious cats explore safely. For more cat care advice, call (905) 522-6879.

Dog aging isn't quite as simple as multiplying by seven.

Dogs mature rapidly in their first years, and aging rates vary considerably by size and breed. That's one reason veterinary recommendations may change as your dog moves through different life stages.

Want to know what care is appropriate for your dog's current life stage? Call (905) 522-6879.

Pets can have some pretty unusual habits, and many are completely harmless personality quirks. However, a new or sudden behavior change can sometimes be associated with discomfort, stress, or illness. You know your pet’s normal better than anyone, so pay attention when something seems different. Call (905) 522-6879 with any concerns.

10/23/2026

Every pet has a personality all their own, but behavior can also tell us quite a bit about their wellbeing. Changes in energy, appetite, sleep, sociability, or normal routines are worth paying attention to, especially when they appear suddenly. If something about your pet seems different, call (905) 522-6879. Now describe your pet using only emojis!

Heartworm disease can cause lasting damage to the heart, lungs, and blood vessels, and infected pets may not show obvious symptoms early on.

The good news is that heartworm disease is preventable. Staying consistent with veterinarian-recommended prevention and testing gives your pet important protection against this mosquito-borne disease.

Have questions about heartworm testing or prevention? Call (905) 522-6879.

All vet techs deserve our utmost appreciation. Their roles demand so much energy, extensive knowledge, and unlimited compassion. And although we may be a bit biased, we truly feel the Blue Cross tech team has earned an extra dose of gratitude. Each day, they give their all to us, our clients, and certainly our patients. Their dedication to making lives better is an inspiration.
Thank you, Kelly, Madison, Amanda, and Nat, for your exceptional work and endless care.

Big or little, every dog has individual needs. Size and breed can influence exercise requirements, nutrition, joint health, dental care, and even how quickly a dog ages. Whatever size pup has your heart, routine veterinary care helps keep them feeling their best. Call (905) 522-6879 to schedule a visit.

Those little treats can add up faster than you think!

Treats should complement a nutritionally balanced diet, not become a major source of daily calories. Keep portions small and remember that chews, table scraps, and training rewards all count toward your dog's daily intake.

Concerned about your pet's weight or nutrition? Call (905) 522-6879.
