YORKWOOD VETERINARY CLINIC We've been in Keswick since 1996. Our team includes 5 technicians, 2 receptionists, and 2 veterinar

Yorkwood Veterinary Clinic is located in Keswick, Ontario, Canada. We first opened in October of 1996 as a fully accredited Companion Veterinary Clinic with the CVO (College of Veterinarians of Ontario), and re-accredited successfully in October 2001, October 2006 and September 2011. While the majority of our patients are dogs and cats, we also treat rabbits, birds, "pocket pets" such as hamsters and guinea pigs, and small reptiles. From our small and humble beginnings of Dr. Caren Norman, Sue Hodgson RVT and 2 receptionists, we have grown to our present capacity of 3 Veterinarians, 5 Registered Veterinary Technicians, 3 Pet Counselors and a Professional Pet Groomer. Our services and facilities are designed to assist in routine preventative care for healthy pets; early detection and treatment of disease as your pet ages; and complete medical and surgical care as necessary during his or her lifetime. We continue to upgrade and add to the equipment and services we provide and currently offer medical examinations, full surgical services, in house diagnostics, dentistry, radiology, microchipping, nutritional counseling and the list goes on.

Dogs have a wonderful way of reminding us to enjoy the little things. Play, exercise, social interaction, and quality time with their favorite people aren’t just fun either. They’re important parts of a dog’s physical and emotional wellbeing. Questions about keeping your dog happy and healthy? Call (905) 476-5967.

Healthy portions can be surprisingly easy to underestimate. Measuring meals, accounting for treats, and regularly monitoring your pet's body condition can make a big difference over time.

If your pet needs to gain or lose weight, avoid making drastic dietary changes without veterinary guidance. We can help determine an appropriate calorie intake based on their individual needs.

Call (905) 476-5967 for help developing a healthy weight plan.

Exercise supports much more than your pet's waistline. Regular activity can benefit cardiovascular health, mobility, muscle strength, mental stimulation, and overall quality of life.

The right activity level varies with age, breed, health, and physical ability, so find activities your individual pet can safely enjoy.

How does your pet like to stay active? Call (905) 476-5967 if you'd like help determining an appropriate exercise routine.

Knocking things off the counter may look like mischief, but cats often use their paws to investigate objects and learn about their environment. Providing toys, climbing spaces, scratching areas, and interactive play can give that curious brain plenty to do. For questions about your cat’s behavior or wellness, call (905) 476-5967.

A dog's nose can go from wet to dry throughout the day for perfectly normal reasons, including sleeping, weather, activity, and hydration.

Instead of judging health by nose moisture alone, watch your dog's overall behavior and symptoms.

If a dry nose is accompanied by lethargy, appetite changes, vomiting, discharge, cracking, sores, or other concerns, call (905) 476-5967.

Sometimes gradual weight gain is hard to notice when you see your pet every day.

A healthy body condition involves more than the number on the scale. Your veterinarian can evaluate your pet's ribs, waist, body shape, muscle condition, age, and lifestyle to determine an appropriate weight range.

Wondering where your pet falls? Call (905) 476-5967 to schedule a wellness visit.

Dogs don't always show stress by barking or trying to escape. Their signals can be much more subtle.

Repeated yawning, lip licking, turning away, trembling, tucked tails, flattened ears, or suddenly refusing treats may all be ways your dog is communicating discomfort.

Learning to recognize those early signals allows us to make experiences more comfortable. Have concerns about your dog's behavior or anxiety? Call (905) 476-5967.

Cats may be more independent in some ways, but they still need plenty of care and enrichment. Playtime, scratching opportunities, clean litter boxes, appropriate nutrition, dental care, and routine veterinary visits all contribute to a healthy life. Team cat, team dog, or team both? For pet care questions, call (905) 476-5967.

Dogs communicate constantly through body language. Tail position, ears, posture, facial expressions, vocalizations, and even how they move can give us clues about whether they’re relaxed, excited, nervous, or uncomfortable. Learning to recognize those signals can help you better understand your dog. Questions about a behavior change? Call (905) 476-5967.

Brushing at home is an excellent habit, but it can't remove hardened tartar or fully address disease below the gumline.

A veterinary dental procedure lets the mouth be thoroughly evaluated and the teeth cleaned above and below the gumline, where periodontal disease can develop unseen.

Is your pet due for a dental evaluation? Call (905) 476-5967.
