Spay & Neuter Services for Cats and Dogs Responsible Care for a Healthier Future
At TVS Hospitals, we believe that spaying and neutering your pet is one of the most responsible and impactful decisions you can make for their health and happiness. These common surgical procedures not only help reduce pet overpopulation but also offer long-term medical and behavioral benefits for your cat or dog.
Spaying (for females) and neutering (for males) can help prevent a range of serious health issues, including uterine infections, breast cancer, testicular cancer, and prostate problems. It can also reduce undesirable behaviors such as marking, roaming, and aggression, leading to a calmer, safer pet and a more harmonious home.
Our experienced veterinary team performs every procedure with the highest level of care, using modern anesthesia and monitoring tools to ensure safety and comfort throughout. We provide thorough pre-surgical evaluations, pain management plans, and clear post-operative instructions to support a smooth recovery.
Whether you’ve just welcomed a new puppy or kitten, or you’re caring for an adult pet, we’re here to guide you through the right timing and approach for spaying or neutering.
We proudly serve families across Toronto from our two hospital locations:

Comprehensive Dental Care for Dogs and Cats
Our veterinary dental services include routine teeth cleanings using advanced ultrasonic tools, digital dental X-rays to detect hidden problems, and safe tooth extractions when necessary.

Orthopedic Surgery for
Dogs and Cats
Restoring Mobility, Relieving Pain
When your pet is in pain or struggling to move, it affects their entire quality of life, and yours. At TVS Hospitals, we provide advanced orthopedic surgery services for dogs and cats suffering from injuries, degenerative conditions, or congenital joint and bone issues. Our goal is to restore your pet’s comfort, mobility, and independence with expert surgical care and compassionate support.
Orthopedic issues such as ligament tears (including cruciate ligament injuries), fractures, hip or elbow dysplasia, patellar luxation, and joint instability can severely impact your pet’s ability to walk, run, or even stand comfortably. Our experienced veterinary surgeons use precise diagnostics and surgical techniques to treat these conditions effectively and reduce long-term pain.
Each procedure is tailored to your pet’s breed, age, lifestyle, and recovery needs. From the moment you arrive, we’ll walk you through the process, including pre-surgical assessments, anesthesia monitoring and post-op pain management.
Whether your dog has suffered a sudden injury or your senior cat is living with chronic joint pain, we’re here to help them move better and feel better.
Orthopedic issues in pets can range from sudden injuries to chronic conditions. Some of the most common include cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) tears, hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, fractures, and patellar luxation. These conditions can cause limping, pain, stiffness, or even refusal to walk. At TVS Hospitals, we diagnose and treat these problems using advanced surgical techniques to restore mobility and reduce discomfort.
If your dog or cat is limping, struggling to climb stairs, avoiding play, or crying out when moving, these may be signs of a joint or bone issue that requires surgical intervention. Our team at TVS Hospitals will perform a thorough orthopedic exam, including digital X-rays and mobility assessments, to determine the best course of action.
Yes, when performed by a vet who has done orthopedic surgery for many years, orthopedic surgery can be safe and life-changing even for older pets. At TVS Hospitals, we conduct pre-surgical screenings and monitor anesthesia closely to minimize risk. With proper pain control and post-op care, many senior pets regain mobility and enjoy a better quality of life.
Recovery depends on the type of surgery and your pet’s age and overall health. Most pets require restricted activity, pain management, and sometimes rehabilitation therapy to support healing. We provide a customized post-op care plan, regular check-ins, and guidance to help your pet return to normal activities safely and comfortably.
Costs can vary depending on the procedure, severity of the condition, and your pet’s needs. We believe in transparency and will walk you through the estimate before any treatment. Our goal is to provide high-quality, affordable orthopedic care for every pet. Contact us for a consultation and detailed quote.
Pet Vaccination Services
Vaccinations are one of the most effective ways to protect your pet from serious and potentially life-threatening diseases. At TVS Hospitals, we offer comprehensive vaccination programs for both dogs and cats, customized to meet their individual needs, age, lifestyle, and risk factors.
Vaccinations for Dogs and Cats
Preventative Protection That Lasts a Lifetime
Core vaccines help shield your pet from dangerous and contagious illnesses such as rabies, parvovirus, distemper, and feline leukemia, while non-core vaccines provide added protection based on your pet’s environment and exposure. Whether your dog visits parks, daycare, or travels often, or your cat lives exclusively indoors, our team will guide you through the best schedule to ensure long-term protection and peace of mind.
Vaccinations not only protect your pet but also contribute to the health and safety of other animals and people in your community. Our experienced veterinarians take a gentle, stress-reducing approach to each visit, ensuring your pet feels comfortable and safe every step of the way.
If you’re unsure whether your pet is up to date on vaccines, we’re here to help. We’ll review their history, assess current needs, and build a vaccination plan that keeps your furry companion healthy, active, and protected year-round.
Book your pet’s vaccination appointment today and take a proactive step toward a longer, safer, and healthier life for your best friend.

Entropion Eye Surgery
Entropion is a painful condition where a pet’s eyelid rolls inward, causing the eyelashes or surrounding hair to rub against the surface of the eye. This constant irritation can lead to excessive tearing, squinting, corneal ulcers, and even vision loss if left untreated. At TVS Hospitals, we offer expert entropion eye surgery to correct this condition and restore comfort and clarity to your pet’s vision.
Pet Dental Chip and Fractured Tooth Repair.
All Types of Dental Surgery
Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth are more than just cosmetic concerns—they can be painful, affect your pet’s ability to eat, and lead to serious infections if left untreated. At TVS Hospitals, we provide expert veterinary dental surgery to repair or extract damaged teeth, helping your dog or cat return to a pain-free, healthy life.
When a tooth is fractured, it often exposes the sensitive inner pulp, causing discomfort and making the tooth vulnerable to bacteria. This can result in tooth root abscesses, gum disease, or systemic infections if not properly addressed. Our veterinarians use advanced diagnostic tools such as digital dental X-rays to assess the extent of the injury and develop a personalized treatment plan.
Depending on the severity, we may recommend restorative procedures to preserve the tooth or, in cases of severe damage, safe surgical extraction to eliminate the risk of further complications. We ensure that every procedure is carried out under monitored anesthesia with effective pain control before, during, and after surgery.
Post-operative care is carefully managed with at-home guidance and follow-up checkups to ensure optimal healing. Our goal is to restore comfort, protect oral function, and give your pet a strong, healthy smile they can enjoy for years to come.
Whether your pet is a growing puppy or kitten, an active adult, or a senior with specific health challenges, our veterinarians provide customized dietary plans to support their individual wellness goals. We can help with weight management, food allergies, chronic conditions such as diabetes or kidney disease, and even support nutritional needs post-surgery or during recovery.
During a nutrition consultation, we evaluate your pet’s body condition, review current feeding habits, and recommend tailored options, from trusted commercial diets to prescription nutrition plans. We also take the time to educate pet owners on portion control, reading labels, and identifying the best ingredients for long-term vitality.

Pet X-Ray Services
At TVS Hospitals, we use modern digital X-ray technology to gain fast, accurate insights into your pet’s health, without unnecessary delays. Whether your dog or cat is dealing with an injury, unexplained pain, or a chronic condition, our veterinary imaging services allow us to examine bones, joints, organs, and soft tissues with clarity and precision.
Digital X-Ray Services for
Dogs and Cats
Clear Answers, Fast Results
Digital X-rays are non-invasive, efficient, and safer than traditional film X-rays, providing immediate high-quality images with reduced radiation exposure. This allows our veterinarians to quickly diagnose fractures, arthritis, tumors, heart and lung conditions, gastrointestinal issues, and more, so we can move forward with the right treatment plan as soon as possible.
Our compassionate team ensures your pet is handled gently and comfortably during the imaging process, whether they are calm or feeling anxious. If sedation is required for accuracy or safety, we administer it with the utmost care and supervision.
X-ray imaging plays a critical role in early detection and better outcomes. If your pet has been limping, coughing, experiencing abdominal discomfort, or showing other concerning signs, don’t wait.
Ultrasound Imaging
for Dogs and Cats
A Closer Look at What Matters Most
At TVS Hospitals, we use advanced ultrasound technology to safely and non-invasively visualize your pet’s internal organs and soft tissues. Whether your dog or cat is showing signs of illness or requires a more detailed evaluation, ultrasound allows our veterinarians to diagnose and monitor a wide range of health conditions with precision and care.
Unlike X-rays, which are ideal for bones and dense structures, ultrasound is used to assess the heart, liver, kidneys, bladder, intestines, uterus, and other internal organs in real time. It’s especially useful for detecting internal masses, fluid buildup, pregnancy, or digestive issues. Most importantly, it’s painless and safe, even for senior pets or those with chronic conditions.
Our experienced team takes the time to explain the findings, answer your questions, and recommend the right next steps based on the results. If sedation is required to help your pet stay calm and comfortable, we do so gently and with full medical supervision.
Whether your pet has been vomiting, showing changes in appetite, struggling to urinate, or simply needs deeper diagnostic insight, ultrasound can provide the answers you need, quickly and confidently.
Bladder Stone Removal
for Dogs and Cats
Restoring Comfort with Expert Surgical Care
Bladder stones can cause significant pain, discomfort, and even life-threatening urinary blockages in pets. At TVS Hospitals, we offer safe, effective bladder stone removal surgery for dogs and cats suffering from this common yet serious condition. Our goal is to restore your pet’s comfort and health with timely intervention and comprehensive care.
Bladder stones, also known as uroliths, are hard mineral deposits that can form in your pet’s urinary tract, often leading to symptoms such as straining to urinate, blood in the urine, frequent accidents, or signs of pain. If left untreated, they can lead to infections, blockages, or damage to the bladder and kidneys.
Our veterinary team uses diagnostic imaging such as X-rays and ultrasound to identify the presence, size, and location of stones. If surgery is required, we perform the procedure with advanced surgical techniques, modern anesthesia, and vigilant post-operative monitoring. We also provide tailored aftercare instructions and dietary recommendations to help reduce the risk of recurrence.
Early detection and treatment are essential. If your pet is showing any urinary issues, don’t wait, schedule a consultation with our experienced veterinarians today.
Geriatric Pet Care​
As pets age, their needs change, and so should their veterinary care. At TVS Hospitals, we offer specialized geriatric care for senior dogs and cats, focusing on comfort, prevention, and quality of life. Whether your companion is slowing down, developing age-related conditions, or simply needs more frequent checkups, our team is here to support their golden years with the compassion they deserve. Senior pets are more prone to arthritis, kidney disease, diabetes, dental problems, and cognitive decline. That’s why we recommend comprehensive wellness exams at least twice a year for aging pets. Our senior care programs include advanced diagnostics, mobility assessments, pain management, nutritional support, and ongoing monitoring of chronic conditions, tailored to your pet’s unique history, lifestyle, and stage of life. We understand how emotional it can be to see your beloved companion age. Our goal is to partner with you to ensure your pet stays comfortable, happy, and healthy for as long as possible. Whether it’s adapting their diet, managing medications, or improving their mobility, we’re here to help every step of the way. We proudly provide geriatric pet care at both of our Toronto veterinary hospitals:

Every decision is made in close partnership with you, respecting your wishes and your pet’s needs.
When the time comes, our team offers gentle and humane euthanasia services, in a private and supportive setting. We walk with you through every step, providing clear communication, emotional care, and space to say goodbye in your own way.

Parasite Prevention
for Dogs and Cats
Protecting Your Pet Year-Round
Parasites may be small, but they pose a serious risk to your pet’s health, and in some cases, to your family as well. At TVS Hospitals, we provide comprehensive parasite prevention services to protect your dog or cat from fleas, ticks, heartworm, intestinal worms, and other harmful pests common in the Toronto area.
Parasites can cause a range of health issues, from skin irritation and allergic reactions to more severe conditions like anemia, organ damage, and parasitic infections that may be passed to humans. Prevention is far easier, and safer, than treatment. That’s why we recommend year-round protection, tailored to your pet’s lifestyle, environment, and risk level.
Our veterinarians will assess your pet’s individual needs and recommend a prevention plan that may include monthly oral or topical medications, deworming protocols, tick and flea control, heartworm prevention, and regular fecal exams. We also educate pet owners on seasonal parasite risks and how to safeguard your home and outdoor spaces.
Whether your pet is mostly indoors or loves the outdoors, staying proactive about parasite prevention is essential for long-term wellness and peace of mind.
