It is because of our private customers that we can ensure the homeless, stray and surrendered animals also receive first rate health care and treatment. When the community bring their pets to Animal Aid Veterinary Clinic they are helping fund special surgeries, health checks, and the desexing, and microchipping for the thousands of animals that come to us every year.
