October is RVT month and we want to acknowledge our amazing team of RVT's. They work hard everyday to make sure your fur babies have the best care! What is an RVT? Registered veterinary technicians (RVTs) are educated and trained professionals who practice animal health care alongside veterinarians. By performing diagnostic procedures, administering treatments and monitoring patients under the direction of a veterinarian, the RVT allows the veterinarian to provide a high...er level of care to all animals. Our RVT's use all of their training and skills everyday and are willing to go above and beyond for their patients! Thank you to these amazing team members and our entire team of amazing animal lovers who give their best everyday to provide the excellent care to all of our patients. You each have very important roles that allow Alcona Animal Hospital to provide the best health care possible for all of it's patients!

Bronx was in for a visit and Dr. Neilan’s assistant Michele was more than happy to snuggle him!! #americanbulldog #americanbulldogpuppy

Thankfully rabies is rare in Canada due to the fact that most pets are vaccinated for it. The majority of cases of human rabies in the world are transmitted by dog bites. If you wish to know your pets vaccination status, please contact us at 705-431-5570 and a team member will be happy to assist you.

Due to unforeseen circumstances we will be closing at 6pm today. We apologize for any inconvenience. We will reopen tomorrow at 8am. Thank you for your understanding!... Update: Everything is good, just a technical glitch. Thanks everyone for your concern! See you tomorrow.

If this bear cub doesn’t cheer up your feed we don’t know what will!!! Norma is a 12 week old Newfoundland pup and we couldn’t get enough of her fluff #adorablepuppy #newfiepuppy

Today is an exceptionally sad day for our team. We said goodbye to our clinic cat Louie. He has been with us since we opened our new building and we feel so lucky that he chose us when he walked into our parking lot! After trying to find his humans with no success for quite some time, it was an easy decision to let him call our hospital home. It became evident a little while ago that Louie had a nasal tumour and it recently began sever...ely affecting his quality of life and the difficult decision was made to end his suffering. Every staff member here has a special love for Louie and he will never be forgotten. Many of you will remember seeing Louie sauntering around the halls without a care in the world. He was afraid of nothing and had a knack for falling asleep anywhere in any position! He was the perfect clinic cat as he would approach any dog or cat that entered the hospital. We love you and we will miss you Louie, you were one of a kind #sohardtosaygoodbye #bestcliniccat

We will be closed Monday September 6th for Labour Day! We hope our patients and clients have a wonderful long weekend. If your pet as a health emergency while we are closed, please call the Huronia Veterinary Emergency Clinic at 705-722-0377. They are located at 391 Dunlop St. W in Barrie.
