New Practice Announcement:
North Waterloo Veterinary Hospital

Please Welcome North Waterloo Veterinary Hospital

2023 is off to a great start: it’s official, North Waterloo Veterinary Hospital has joined the VetCare family. This will allow us to reach and provide exceptional care in a family-style environment to more pets and their families in Ontario. Dr. Linda Hirzer, who has thirty years of experience, and the North Waterloo team are a perfect match for VetCare as we all believe veterinary medicine is more than a profession—it is a calling.

We all do what we do because we understand what it feels like to care so deeply about an animal. We are thrilled to welcome the North Waterloo team and look forward to supporting their hard work and dedication to improving the lives of pets and their families.
