We always love to hear what our clients do and enjoy outside of the hospital during their free time. From simply starting TBall season, to wood whittling, flying a plane, being a black belt in jiu jitsu we have some many clients with exciting stories to share with us. We also love to share those stories when we feel so proud to know these great people!
​
So on this beautiful Friday we would like to honour the Apted Family who generously donated a baby grand piano to the new Oakville-Trafalgar Memorial Hospital. Dr Gold was so delighted and had the opportunity to see a hospital staff member playing the piano with onlookers enjoying the melody. This is truly remarkable and shows that music can make such a difference and was able to happen with this special donation. So if you are ever in the Oakville-Trafalgar Memorial Hospital please look out for this baby grand piano and if you know how to play please sit down and share your talent with onlookers so they can embrace the feelings that music brings.

​How thankful are we for all these 5 Star reviews! This just lets us know that our River Oaks Team really does make our clients feel like family and treats their pets like they are our own!

Dr. Gold and his team were very patient with us on our first visit with our new puppy. He answeredall our questions and provided us with lots of useful information on raising our puppy. Dr. Gold has a fantastic bedside manner and was very gentle with our puppy.

We have been trusting Animal Hospital of River Oaks for nearly 15 years with the care of many pets. I appreciate the high quality, great advice, and caring approach all the staff take. Dr Gold and all the other staff treat you, and more importantly our pets, like family. It is the consultations during the exams and great advice that sets them apart from other clinics.
