Simon and David got to meet some of our amazing clinic teams to experience first-hand the exceptional work they’re doing to deliver our purpose of Healthy Animals, Happy Owners every day. They also took the opportunity to discuss IVC Evidensia’s exciting plans for the region, and the many ways there are to improve support for practices in providing the highest quality animal care, customer service and team development across Canada.

First stop was Dundas West Animal Hospital in Toronto, which this summer has opened a cat-only state-of-the-art hospital which is located beside the existing hospital, which has become a dog-only facility. The significant investment in the site has been made with the focus on pet patient wellbeing, driven by the passion of our team at the Hospital.

From there, Simon and David went on to visit Jane Animal Hospital, also in Toronto, where they met up with VetStrategy founder and now Chairman, Orin Litman, and the Hospital team. They spent the day listening to the team and getting to know some of the pet patients in their care, to experience the difference our investments in the latest clinical solutions, equipment and technologies are making for our people, the animals they care for, and our customers.
