About Us

 The Arthur Veterinary Clinic is known for our friendly, attentive staff
and dedication to quality care.
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.
Our staff are proud to be active members of the Arthur and surrounding communities, often coming together to organize and contribute to local charity and community events. Aside from our professional dedication to our patients, we value being able to call many clients our friends, family 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.
