Welcome to Vaughan Richmond Hill Veterinary Emergency Clinic

When your pet has a crisis, we are the emergency vet near you for cats and dogs in the Vaughan and Richmond Hill area. We are open for pet emergencies, walk-ins, transfers, and medical and surgical referral emergency veterinary services from family practices in the area.

VRHVEC was opened in 2009 to serve the Richmond Hill and surrounding areas as an after-hours emergency clinic and became a part of the VetStrategy network in 2022. Now, under new management and with the mentorship of our new Hospital Director, we have grown to return to 24-hour access year-round!

If your pet has an emergency, please call 905-884-1832 to speak with one of our team members.

We work on a triage system, just like the emergency department in a human hospital. This means that the most critical patients are seen first, but we will always do our best to ensure that you have the shortest possible wait. Calling ahead to alert us of your pet’s condition will help us prepare for your pet’s arrival, but due to the nature of our work it is not possible to give accurate wait times.

Our mission is to offer excellent patient care and client support services. We promise to care for your pet as if it were our own.

Accreditations & Accolades

Our clinic is a CVO Accredited Veterinary Facility.
