24/7 Telehealth Support in the Annex.
Pet concern after hours? Help is just one call away. The Village Vet+ Annex offers free after-hours telehealth support for dogs and cats in the Annex and surrounding Toronto neighbourhoods. Available to new and existing clients.
Your questions, answered.
Do I need to be a Village Vet+ patient to use this?
No. This service is free and open to everyone.
Who will I speak with?
A Registered Veterinary Technician who can help you triage your concern, understand your options, and decide on the right next step for your pet.
How does it work?
Call The Village Vet+ Annex after hours and press 5. You will be connected with an RVT who can listen, triage, and help you figure out what to do next. After your initial call, your RVT will follow up with you by text so you can stay in touch throughout the night. Send updates, share photos, ask follow-up questions. You will not be left alone with a worry and a wait.
What can telehealth help with?
Late-night worries, weekend questions, sudden changes in behaviour, medication concerns, post-visit follow-ups, and anything where you are unsure whether your pet needs to be seen right away.
Is this a replacement for emergency care?
No. If your pet is having trouble breathing, has collapsed, is bleeding heavily, has had a seizure, or may have eaten something toxic, please go directly to an emergency clinic. Our technician can help direct you, but telehealth does not replace in-person emergency care.
What emergency clinics are nearby?
If your pet needs urgent in-person care, please contact one of the following emergency veterinary centres: Central Toronto Veterinary Referral Centre at (416) 784-4444, Animal Health Partners at (416) 380-7400, or Veterinary Emergency Clinic at (416) 920-2002. Call ahead to confirm availability.
