Happy Canada Day everyone! Try to stay cool this weekend. Ginny, Dr. Morrison's girl, is enjoying her spot in front of the fan.

Introducing QWAH’s newest staff member, Ginny. Ginny recently joined Dr. Morrison’s family, after the passing of their beloved Potter. Dr. Morrison’s family felt the house was just too quiet, with 4 cats, Neville the chihuahua, a hedgehog and 3 teenagers, so they decided they had to open their home to another dog. Ginny is a 7 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who is a retired breeding dog from a kennel. She has spent most of her life in the kennel setting, so she is still adjusting to “home life”, but certainly has no troubles lounging around on the sofa, snuggling in bed and demanding pets and attention. She tolerates her little brother Neville bouncing around her head, but she is not sure how exactly to engage him in play just yet, and the cats mystify her, popping up in front of her, but she dearly loves her new human family. She recently had her first ever camping experience, and although she’s not an overly active dog, she did enjoy being toted about in her wagon, canoeing and visiting people at other campsites whenever possible. You may see her little red head pop up in the front window at QWAH, and many of your pets may have already met her. Ginny is very friendly with other dogs and we have found that she has had a calming effect on some of our more nervous patients if she accompanies them into their appointment. She is also very tolerant of the new puppies (with many years of experience in that) so we have introduced her to most of our newest and littlest patients. When our patients’ “humans” are allowed back into the clinic, hopefully most of you will get to meet her! You may hear her for sure, as she does sometimes whine when Dr. Morrison leaves her sight to go into an exam room (we are working on that, after years of being caged, she really doesn’t like being separated from people).

While some may be sad to see the end of summer, Potter is looking forward to his favourite activity during his favourite time of the year. Happy First Day of Fall!

Our Story

We are located in Kanata (west of Ottawa), less than a minute from the Queensway. We have been in operation since 1999, catering to domestic and small animals. Our vision is to provide a personalized level of health care for pets because we believe that pets are an important part of our families. We also believe that keeping them healthy involves a partnership between you as caregiver and us as a health care provider. Our practice is based on preventative care and wellness, to keep your pet as healthy as possible for as long as possible. During each half hour appointment, we are able to get to know you, your pet and your lifestyle so we can provide personalized care for your pet, including parasite prevention, vaccination, nutritional counselling, behavioural counselling, routine lab testing, senior wellness care and so much more!

Services we provide include medical, surgical, health & wellness, emergency/critical care and diagnostics including x-rays and lab testing. We consult with you every step of the way and encourage you to ask questions and become as informed and involved as possible.

We keep up with the rapidly changing nature of pet health through a commitment to continuing education for all of our staff, to ensure we provide our clients with the most up-to-date techniques and knowledge. There is a lot of information regarding pet care available from a variety of sources these days; we are always ready and willing to guide you through this information to sort the relevant from the irrelevant.
