Our story

Since 1967, an independent hospital serving the families of Laval.

Our history

A neighbourhood hospital, a calling

Founded in 1967, Hôpital Vétérinaire Duvernay is one of the first veterinary hospitals in Laval. Ever since, we have welcomed local families and grown alongside our community — with the same commitment: quality care in a warm, stress-free environment.

Our team of veterinarians and technicians shares one passion: animal wellbeing.

Proudly independent. Hôpital Vétérinaire Duvernay is a local, independently owned practice — not a chain, conglomerate or multinational. Care decisions are made right here, by our own team, with only your animal and your family in mind.

Our services

« Les Pattes de l'Espoir »

In the past (2001–2016), our team also took part in the « Les Pattes de l'Espoir » March-o-thon (Canadian Cancer Society) when it was held in Laval — providing first aid to canine participants, running our own information kiosk, and helping raise funds for the cause.
