About Riverside South Animal Hospital
Since opening our doors in July 2007, Riverside South Animal Hospital has been dedicated to providing compassionate, professional veterinary care for dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, guinea pigs, and small mammals. Conveniently located at the corner of Canyon Walk and Spratt Road, we are proud to serve families in Riverside South as well as Ottawa, Gloucester, Manotick, Barrhaven, and Findlay Creek.
Our Story
We started with a simple vision: to create a trusted neighbourhood veterinary hospital where pets receive the highest quality of care in a welcoming, supportive environment. Over the years, our clinic has evolved into a full-service practice equipped to handle your pet’s health needs: three exam rooms, a laboratory, digital X-rays, treatment and surgical suites, a dental area with digital X-rays, a pharmacy, and safe, comfortable kennel areas.
From the beginning, our mission has been clear:
For Our Patients:
To promote well-being and quality of life from the earliest stages through to end-of-life care.
For Our Clients:
To ensure you are informed, empowered, and part of the decision-making process for your pet’s health.
For Our Team:
To provide a supportive workplace where staff can thrive, continue learning, and deliver the ultimate client experience.
We see our role not just as caregivers for pets, but also as partners in pet ownership. By educating families and supporting preventive care, we help ensure healthier, happier lives for animals across our community.
Our Commitment to the Community
As a local practice, we are proud to be part of the Riverside South community. We’ve built long-standing relationships with families across the region, caring for multiple generations of pets. Our values of teamwork, trust, communication, and professionalism shape every interaction, both inside and outside our clinic.
