We are pleased to announce that our new hospital will officially open its doors tomorrow, Monday, March 30th at 8:00 am, welcoming patients and clients to our modern facilities located at 364 Churchill Ave. N.

🚪Please enter through the main entrance at the corner of Churchill and Whitby Ave.

Note that due to ongoing ramp construction, access is currently limited to stairs only; if assistance is required, kindly contact us and we will provide support.

Further details regarding our open house celebration will be shared in the coming weeks.

We look forward to seeing you soon! Here is a sneak peek at one of our exam rooms 👀

Trazodone and gabapentin given separately or together at appropriate dosing by your veterinarian are safe and avoid psychological suffering for the patient. This lovely girl required a muzzle and was very aggressive towards veterinary staff due to prior care that did not consider her fear aggression. As a result she was almost untreatable. It took us months of care and eventually we were able to remove her muzzle - now she comes to Dr. Cameron with affection. Those are tears of joy in the owner’s eyes when we took her dog’s muzzle off for the first time in hospital and she is becoming a different dog now. Don’t be afraid of these medications- be afraid of what can happen to animals and humans without them. ❤️ 🐾

The time has finally come… we’re moving!

We will be CLOSED Wednesday, March 25th (which also happens to be Dr. Ian Cameron’s birthday 🎉) until we open the doors to the brand new Westboro Animal Hospital on MONDAY, MARCH 30th.

If your pet is running low on food or medication, please contact us soon so we can prepare your order before the move.

📍 Our new location:
364 Churchill Avenue North
Corner of Churchill Ave. & Whitby Ave.

This is directly beside our current location and is actually where Westboro Animal Hospital originally began in 1992. Special shoutout to the clients who have been with us since those early days!

Our current Whitby Ave. clinic will become parking spaces when we say farewell to it later this spring/summer.

A huge thank you to our wonderful clients for your patience during this process. And the best part… we’ll finally have a real lobby!

We’re so excited to serve our community in this beautiful new space and continue providing exceptional care for all of your beloved companions. 🐾

Stay tuned for the grand opening event date 🍾

We have several bigger dogs (50lbs+) dogs in urgent need at different local shelters. They need to move into rescue asap, but we have no placements.

These guys do bark in the kennel, so we cannot consider apartments for them. They assessed friendly and exuberant with dogs. We cannot test for cats. The big black mastiff has some fear for the first few minutes meeting someone, but he warms up fast. The other 2 girls are very sweet and social. All have energy and love to bounce around.

We thought we had safe placement for 2 of them, but both foster homes had something come up, and now these dogs are at risk.

If you can help save a life, have time and patience, and can commit to being a foster home in the Ottawa/Gatineau area, please apply online at https://www.sitwithme.ca/foster/application/

This is very time-sensitive, so we would really appreciate your shares!

We’re pleased to announce the arrival of a new allergy medication to us from Elanco: Zenrelia, now available at our clinic!

Our team of doctors and staff have been thoroughly trained on this innovative treatment and attended lecture by a world-renowned dermatologist speaking about this. Due to the very impressive results and excellent safety data, we are very excited to offer it as a new option for dogs who suffer from allergies.

Zenrelia is approved for dogs over 1 year of age and has shown excellent results in managing allergy symptoms, especially in pets who haven't had full relief with Apoquel or Cytopoint. It’s a powerful JAK inhibitor that targets more JAK pathways than Apoquel, directly addressing the itch AND inflammation at the source.

Benefits of Zenrelia:

Fast-acting and effective for itch relief and skin inflammation

Safe and well-tested, with minimal side effects

Simple once-daily dosing that can be started or stopped as needed, perfect for seasonal allergies

Reduces the need for additional injections or medications

More cost-effective compared to other long-term allergy options

Zenrelia is part of the Barks N Purrs Rewards Program by Elanco. You can upload your receipts and receive rebates on your purchases, including a $50 rebate on your first $100 spent on Zenrelia!

If you have any questions about whether Zenrelia is the right fit for your dog, please don’t hesitate to reach out!

Meet Keesha! She came in for a routine dental cleaning with dental radiographs. During the procedure we discovered that a piece of plastic was lodged in the back of her jaw, covering one of her molars! It caused the molar beneath to decay and become infected and wiggly, so it required extraction.

See the photos below of what it looked like before and after! The final two photos are views of the healthy tooth on the opposite side of her jaw for comparison.

This is why dental cleanings under anesthesia are important!

Keesha will feel much better with it removed- what a relief!

We have been seeing an increase in clients asking about “anesthesia-free dental cleanings”

Keeping your pet’s teeth clean isn’t just about fresh breath—it’s essential for their overall health. While anesthesia-free dental cleanings (AFDs) might seem like a safer, more affordable option, they are not a substitute for a veterinary COHAT (Comprehensive Oral Health Assessment and Treatment).

As AFDs grow in popularity, we want to share some key information to help you make informed choices about your pet’s dental care.

AFDs are appealing because they are offered at a lower price point and don’t require anesthesia. However, it’s important to understand what AFDs actually do, and more importantly what they don’t. They may seem like a low-risk way to improve your pet’s dental health, but they can come at the cost of missing serious issues.

*AFDs are cosmetic only. They remove visible tartar above the gumline, making the teeth look cleaner, but they don’t address the most important part of dental health, the area below the gumline. This is where bacteria and disease live—and they can’t be reached without anesthesia.

*Without anesthesia, vital steps are missed. Dental x-rays, thorough oral exams, and treatments like extractions aren’t possible during an AFD. This means problems like fractured or abscessed teeth often go undiagnosed and untreated, causing pain and long-term complications.

The biggest concern is the false sense of security. Pets’ teeth look white and fresh after an AFD, but serious issues remain hidden. Owners in turn delay proper dental care, while serious painful conditions progress.

We want every pet owner to understand that an AFD is not equivalent to a COHAT. We completely understand concerns about anesthesia and cost, and we’re always here to discuss options. Our goal is to provide safe, comprehensive, and compassionate care that truly protects your pet’s health.

Investing in professional dental care now helps prevent bigger problems, and higher costs, later.
