Imagine a job that requires days of laughing, tickling, playing, and baby-talking with hilarious, fun-loving, and playful creatures whose sole purpose in life is to have a good time. Well, that’s what it’s like to work at Queen West. Though there are also moments of sadness and grief, we consider it a tremendous honour to work alongside your dogs and cats. They make us immensely happy. In fact, you can’t work at Queen West Animal Hospital unless you feel that immense happiness. It’s that important to us.

French poet, Anatole France, once said “until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unawakened”. We’re pretty sure our souls are fully awake as we’ve loved literally tens of thousands of animals. Even the scared cats who won’t come out of their carrier, or the dogs that bark and growl when we walk into the room. We take our time to connect with each and every one of them. It is a tremendous privilege that we never take for granted.
