FAQ
Do veterinary clinics accept walk-ins or are appointments required?
VCA Burlington primarily operates by appointment to ensure each pet receives dedicated time and attention, but we do accommodate urgent walk-ins when possible.
Our team prioritizes emergencies and time-sensitive cases, and we encourage clients to call ahead so we can prepare appropriately. Same-day appointments may be available depending on capacity.
Understanding appointment policies helps you plan routine care efficiently — and ensures your pet receives timely attention when it matters most.
Will my pet see the same veterinarian at each visit?
While we have a team-based approach, VCA Canada Burlington Animal Hospital strives to schedule your pet with the same veterinarian whenever possible for consistency and comfort.
Our medical records are fully integrated, so every team member has access to your pet’s history, preferences, and treatment plan — ensuring seamless care even if a different vet is needed.
Continuity builds trust and allows for more personalized care, especially for pets with chronic conditions or anxiety around vet visits.
Does my pet need vaccines?
Yes, core vaccines are essential for all pets, while additional vaccines may be recommended based on lifestyle and exposure risk.
At VCA Canada Burlington Animal Hospital, we follow Canadian veterinary guidelines to create personalized vaccination schedules that protect against rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and more.
Vaccinating your pet not only protects their health but also helps prevent outbreaks in the Burlington community and may be required for travel or boarding.
