Providing after-hours emergency services to the pets of Richmond Hill and the surrounding areas

Call ahead to let us know you are coming.

Welcome to Vaughan Richmond Hill Veterinary Emergency Clinic

We are an urgent care center for cats and dogs open for emergencies, walk-ins, transfers, and medical and surgical referral 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

YOUR PET’S BEST FRIEND

The Vaughan-Richmond Hill Veterinary Emergency Clinic opened in 2009 to serve Richmond Hill (Ontario) and the surrounding areas. We provide after hours emergency services and are open when your regular veterinarian is closed. We do not offer routine services such as vaccinations, spays, neuters or dentistry. We treat dogs, cats, and some small pocket pets.
