VMC offers emergency services only during holiday season

The WCVM Veterinary Medical Centre's regular clinical services will take a brief break over the 2024 holiday season.

The WCVM Veterinary Medical Centre (VMC) will offer emergency clinical services only for small animal and large animal patients from Wed., Dec. 25, to Wed., Jan. 1 (inclusive). 

Emergency services for small animal and large animal cases are available 24/7 throughout the holidays. However, the VMC's small animal emergency team continues to restrict patient intake to life-threatening cases (red zone) only from 10 p.m. to 7:30 a.m. each evening/night. 

The VMC's clinical services will resume at 8 a.m. on Thursday, Jan. 2, 2025. 

The VMC team wishes happy holidays and all the best in 2025 to all of its partners in the referral veterinary community.
