About Us

 Arthur Veterinary Clinic is best known for our friendly, attentive staff and dedication towards quality care.
Located in the north end of Arthur (about 20 minutes outside of Guelph, ON) –we've been a fixture in the community for many years. In 2017 our in-house Veterinarian, Dr. Nicole Stone, purchased and assumed management of the clinic, placing a focus on updating equipment and improving proactive care practices. Our staff are proud to be active members of the Fergus and surrounding communities; often coming together to contribute towards charity events and lend a hand where possible. Aside from our professional practices and dedication to improving the quality of life for your pets, we value being able to call many of our clients 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 find out the difference we can make in your pets life.
