Caring For Life's Greatest Companions

At VCA Canada, we're pet people too. We understand the importance of your morning snuggles and the tail-wagging excitement when you come through the door, even if you're only gone for five minutes.

Your pets are always there for you, so we are always here for them.

Beaches Animal Hospital

We are a team of committed professionals who understand your love for your pet.

At Beaches Animal Hospital most of us have pets at home, so we know exactly how important your pet is to you! We are passionate about building relationships with every four-legged family member who walks through our doors and ensuring they stay happy and healthy.

Beaches Animal Hospital is a leading edge veterinary clinic servicing the Beaches and Toronto’s east end. We believe in harnessing the latest innovations in equipment, medicine, and procedures to ensure your pet receives only the highest quality in health care.

Established in 1973, as the first pet hospital in the Beach(es), the clinic moved to the current location on Queen St. East in 1994. In 1999, the practice was amalgamated with the group of hospitals owned by Drs Catherwood and Jafine. Dr. Mark Dilworth joined Beaches in 2005 as a practitioner and became a partner in 2006. The hospital currently has seven doctors and 20 support staff.

Thank you to our wonderful clients whose support and referrals continue to help us grow in the Beach community. We adore your pets and truly appreciate the privilege of caring for them.

Our goal is to deliver leading-edge health care to your pet.

We believe that excellence is the cornerstone of our practice and we abide only by the highest standards. We’re pet owners too, and we know the value a pet brings to your life, that’s why we focus on preventive medicine as the benchmark for superior veterinary care.

It’s okay to be curious about who will be caring for your pet. That’s why we invite you to meet our team right from the comfort of your computer!
