We’ve had a few late night calls in the past few months asking where to go/what to do in cases where dogs are injured outside of normal vet operating hours.

These are the contacts of the 24/7 emergency vets closest to Markham, and a 24/7 Animal Poison Control Number.

💜 • Bookmark/Screenshot this post so you have this info handy
