I am thrilled to share my experience with Upper Canada Animal Hospital! From the moment we walked in, it was clear that the entire team genuinely cares about both animals and their owners. Dr. Turpel’s dedication to the health and mental well-being of animals is inspiring! He takes the time to explain everything, ensuring that we felt informed and confident about our dog’s care.

I was amazed at the care my pet Max received at U.C.A.H., a little over a year ago I had to put one of my goldens down because of his torn CCL. I had no idea that a Zlig procedure (CCL Ligament replacement), was available. Max is doing amazingly well, having the procedure performed a week ago he is walking with a slight limp, but improving daily, Thank you Dr. Turpel and all the dedicated staff for Max's care.
