Please note that vet clinics are considered essential services and as such, our clinic will remain open to clients for emergencies and for pick-up of food and medication.
We would ask our clients NOT to call the clinic unless it is an emergency or to place an order. Our phone lines have been jammed with people calling to see if we are open. We need to keep the lines free for those that need urgent appointments and medication/food .
We appreciate your understanding and rest assured that we will remain available to our clients throughout this crisis.

The Timberlea Veterinary Clinic is pleased to announce Dr. Floyd will be joining the team this March. Dr. Donald Floyd was an owner of the Baker Animal Hospital for the past 40 years. His name is renowned throughout the Montreal area as being one of the pioneering small animal veterinarians. Not quite ready to retire he will be doing part time work at our clinic. We look forward to welcoming him and learning from his expertise.
The Montreal General Hospital Pet Therapy program that uses well-mannered dogs to interact with patients is now expanding to the Lachine General Hospital Palliative Care and Unit. (650 16e Avenue, Lachine).
They are looking for healthy dogs of all sizes, with good personalities. A suitability assessment of the handler and dog will be conducted by Margrit Meyer, head of the program.
If we have a few acceptable candidates, the hospital willI arrange a short version of the Palliative Care course, with Andrea Connors so that Pet Therapists can start soon. There will be a full Palliative Care training course given later in the spring.
Please contact Margrit Meyer to arrange an evaluation. E-mail: margrit.meyer@gmail.com

We are please to add endoscopy to the list of our services. Our endoscope permits us to visualize the digestive system and to take biopsies when necessary. It also permits us to go in and visualize very small orifices like nostrils and will allow us to perform Tran cervical inseminations.
Pearl is the sweetest 3 month old Boston Terrier puppy who suddenly jumped from her owner's arms and started to limp immediately. We were very concerned that this could be a fracture so we took x-rays. Luckily, there were no fractured bones so she just needed rest and pain medication. Pearls owners had previously signed up for a free 6 week trial of pet insurance from Pet Secure, so 80% of her medical bill was covered. This free trial is available to all pets between the age of 8 wks to 4 yrs of age that we examine for the first time and with no obligation to continue.
