We are hosting our first ever canine blood donor clinic for the Canadian Animal Blood Bank! For your dog to be a donor you must meet several criteria. We can accept 12 to 20 donors at any given event and hope to have these several times a year. Donation can take 2-6 minutes on average and your entire appointment usually is 15 minutes.

You do not need to be a client of the clinic to attend, however we would appreciate that all pets are up to date on their vaccinations, especially rabies. Cats and Dogs welcome of any age or size.

Due to popular demand, we are once again partnering with Oxford County Animal Rescue and offering a microchip clinic! 

When: Saturday April 11th from 12:00p to 3:00p

Where: 570 Ingersoll Ave at Oxford County Veterinary Clinic

How much: $30 per pet, cash only

Details:  Microchips will be inserted by Oxford County Veterinary Clinic staff. Microchips will be first come first serve. All proceeds will be donated back to Oxford County Animal Rescue. We ask that all dogs that are dog aggressive have an owner register prior to bringing the animals into the clinic so that they can be placed into rooms safely. Similarly, cats who are stressed easily will be accommodated to the best of our ability and thus we ask that you advise our staff should your animal require special handling.
