History

Established in 1948.

McGilvray Veterinary Hospital was built in 1948 by Dr. Roy McGilvray. Although the interior was designed specifically for the hospitalization and care of dogs and cats, the exterior resembles that of a traditional home.

The hospital has been an accredited member of the American Animal Hospital Association since 1950. The AAHA is a self-​regulating body that sets very high standards of practice. Compliance requires regular inspections and submission of records, with less than 10% of animal hospitals in Canada meeting these requirements.
