Animal Hospital of High Park

What Animal Hospital of High Park does

Animal Hospital of High Park is a full-service companion and exotic animal veterinary hospital operating from a single location at 325 Weston Rd Unit 3A in the Junction/Stockyards area of Toronto, Ontario. Founded in 1986 and owned since 2009 by Dr. Karen Regan (DVM, Ontario Veterinary College 1997), the practice serves pet owners of dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, reptiles and other exotic species, with a documented specialty in avian and exotic animal medicine. Service offerings span medical exams, elective and soft-tissue surgery (including exotic pet surgery), dentistry with digital dental X-rays and rodent dentistry, digital radiography, ultrasonography (performed by a specialized ultrasonographer), in-house and reference laboratory testing, hospitalization, microchipping, nutritional counseling, and an on-site pharmacy supported by a veterinary compounding partner.

The clinic's technology base is conventional veterinary diagnostic and treatment equipment rather than a software platform: digital radiography, ultrasound, in-house lab analyzer, and endoscopy for exotic pet examinations, organized in a 2020-built facility with species-specific exam rooms, a dedicated surgery and dental suite, hospitalization and boarding areas, and a stocked pharmacy. Distribution is single-site, in-person, with extended weekday hours and Saturday availability; referrals for MRI/CT and 24-hour care are routed to three partner emergency hospitals.

Revenue is generated primarily through fee-for-service veterinary care, with a growing recurring component from annual subscription Wellness Plans (Puppy/Kitten, Complete Wellness for adult dogs and cats, and a Rabbit Wellness Plan) and incremental pharmacy and e-commerce revenue via a My Vet Store integration. Marketing relies on organic social (Instagram, Facebook), website content, wellness plan promotions, and intra-veterinary referrals. The practice employs 1-10 staff and has no disclosed funding, parent company, or acquisition activity.
