Our goal is to enhance the health and welfare of companion animals world-wide so that all pets and their caregivers can experience optimal well-being.Optimal well-being permits individuals to thrive in their environments. By giving caregivers the information and tools needed to recognize thriving in their pets, and to create an environment that permits them to thrive across the lifespan, we aim to sustain the highest quality relationship between pets and their owners possible. The Indoor Pet Initiative (IPI) provides a foundation for pet owners and veterinarians to create plans tailored to promote thriving that are based on the soundest, most up-to-date science available.

Huronia Veterinary Emergency Clinic

The Huronia Veterinary Emergency Clinic was established as a result of the cooperative efforts of many of the veterinarians in the Barrie and surrounding areas. These veterinarians combined resources, money and knowledge to start the practice with the intent of supplying after-hours services to their clients.  Subsequently, other area veterinarians have purchased shares in the clinic.  Original and new shareholders are referred to as “partner” clinics.  The Huronia Veterinary Emergency Clinic also provides service to clients of veterinarians in the area who are not “partners”.
