What Sets Yorkville Animal Hospital Apart

Yorkville Animal Hospital is different by design. We’re a small, independently owned veterinary practice in Toronto led by our veterinarian, Dr. Gignac, with a close team that keeps the experience personal, practical, and easy to follow.

That means your pet’s care is guided by consistency. We can look at their history, track changes over time, and make recommendations with real context instead of starting from the beginning at every visit. Less repeating, fewer loose ends, and a lot more “yes, we’ve talked about this before.”

If you’re looking for a Toronto animal hospital where care feels organized, familiar, and refreshingly human, we’d be glad to see you.

One Veterinarian, One Cohesive Team

One Veterinarian, One Cohesive Team

When your pet sees the same veterinarian over time, care becomes more connected. Small details are easier to track, changes are easier to notice, and recommendations can be shaped around your pet’s actual history.

At Yorkville Animal Hospital, Dr. Gignac leads your pet’s care from visit to visit, supported by a small team that works closely together. Your pet’s medical history stays connected through one consistent clinical lens, and communication stays clearer before, during, and after each appointment.

That continuity helps with everyday decisions, such as when to monitor, when to test, when to treat, and when to change direction. For nervous pets, familiar routines, consistent handling, and a quieter environment can also make visits feel a little less dramatic. We make no promises about cats approving the plan, but we do try.

Independently Owned and Proud of It

Independently Owned and Proud of It

Yorkville Animal Hospital is independently owned, which shapes how we practise. Decisions are made within the clinic, by the people who know the patients and the people bringing them in.

That gives us room to keep care personal without making it complicated. We can have real conversations, explain options clearly, and make recommendations based on your pet’s needs rather than a rigid script.

Preventive Care for Total-Body Wellness

Preventive Care for Total-Body Wellness

Good veterinary care is easier when it is not always reactive. Yorkville Animal Hospital’s Wellness Plans help organize routine care throughout the year with monthly payments and included services based on your pet’s age and lifestyle.

Plans may include physical exams, vaccinations based on your pet’s needs, wellness blood testing, fecal testing, heartworm testing for dogs, senior screening, unlimited office visits at no additional charge, and food discounts. Adult plans also include annual professional dental cleaning, because dental care is one of the most useful forms of preventive care, and often one of the first things people delay.

For many pet owners, the biggest benefit is not having to reinvent the calendar every year. The important pieces are already mapped out, including routine dentistry, so small problems are more likely to be found before they become more uncomfortable or costly to address.

One Hour of Free Parking in Yorkville

One Hour of Free Parking in Yorkville

Parking in Toronto is its own little adventure, and not usually the charming kind.

Yorkville Animal Hospital offers one hour of free parking at Yorkville Village, located under Whole Foods. It is a small detail that can make the visit easier, especially when you are arriving with a carrier, leash, anxious pet, or all of the above. Veterinary care often involves enough logistics to get your pet through the door, so we try to take away the stress of finding a parking space.
