About Us

Welcome to the Arthur Veterinary Clinic Family!
Located at the north end of Arthur (about 30 minutes north of Guelph, ON), we've been a fixture in the community for many years. In 2017, after working at the clinic as an associate for two years, Dr. Nicole Stone purchased the practice from its previous owners.  She has made it a priority to provide the best possible care to pets in our community through high quality medicine and surgery and exceptional client service.

We are proud to be independently and locally owned.

Our staff are active members of the Arthur and surrounding communities, often coming together to organize and contribute to local charity and community events. Along with our professional dedication to our patients, we value being able to call many clients our friends and neighbours. 

If you are new to the area or looking for veterinary care options, give us a call today to book an introductory appointment, or ask us about our Wellness Services to discover the difference we can make in your pets life.
