Aurora Pet Care!

Our animal hospital was born out of a shared desire by Jan and Jocelyn to be able to offer the best care to local pets and owners in a way that looked to the future but had traditional values. The hospital offers an exceptional level of care with the full range of routine consultations, surgery and treatments you would expect from your vets.

One of our central aims is to offer veterinary care to you where advice is tailored for each circumstance and based on a 2 way conversation. Our relaxed environment is designed to help make that process easier and put you and your pets at ease.

Importantly, we strongly believe in bringing back veterinary care that is locally owned and run with vets and technicians you will build a bond with over the years. All of our decisions are made locally and as clients you have direct access to the people that make those decisions. We look forward to being part of the community for years to come.
