Brittany Glen Animal Hospital

Brittany Glen Animal Hospital is a full service veterinary hospital in Mississauga, Ontario, treating cats and dogs for everything from routine wellness exams to surgery and emergency care. The hospital operates from a facility accredited by the College of Veterinarians of Ontario, a standard that covers equipment, sanitation and safety protocols beyond the province’s minimum licensing requirements. Pet owners searching for a Mississauga animal hospital that handles more than basic checkups will find a practice built around depth: the internal medicine department alone covers cardiology, ophthalmology, neurology, dermatology, gastroenterology, orthopedic surgery, oncology and endocrinology, so many specialist referrals can be handled onsite instead of sent elsewhere.

Brittany Glen also runs an inhouse pharmacy stocked with veterinary medications, offers digital radiology for imaging conditions across the muscular skeletal, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, reproductive and urinary systems, and provides microchipping, nutritional counselling, spaying and neutering, and vaccination programs for every life stage. The clinic accepts emergency cases in addition to scheduled appointments, which matters for owners who need a same day option rather than a wait listed slot elsewhere in the city. It keeps extended weekday hours, staying open Monday through Friday from 9am to 8pm and Saturday from 10am to 5pm, giving working pet owners evening and weekend access that many single vet clinics do not offer.

Located at 5602 Tenth Line West, Brittany Glen Animal Hospital positions itself as a one stop veterinary hospital for Mississauga pet owners who want preventive care, diagnostics and surgical treatment under a single accredited roof.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should a healthy adult dog or cat see a veterinarian?

Most veterinary associations recommend an annual wellness exam for healthy adult pets, with senior pets typically moving to twice yearly visits since age related conditions can progress faster between checkups. Puppies and kittens need a more frequent vaccination schedule during their first several months.

What does facility accreditation mean for a veterinary hospital in Ontario?

Accreditation from a body like the College of Veterinarians of Ontario means the hospital's equipment, record keeping, anesthesia protocols and sanitation have been independently reviewed against a formal standard, rather than only meeting the baseline license to operate. Not every licensed clinic in the province pursues this additional review.

Why do some vet clinics require pre anesthetic blood work before surgery?

Blood work before anesthesia checks organ function, particularly the liver and kidneys, since those organs process anesthetic drugs and a hidden issue can raise the risk of complications during a procedure. It lets the vet adjust the anesthesia plan or delay surgery if results come back abnormal.

What is the difference between an animal hospital and a veterinary clinic?

The terms overlap in casual use, but an animal hospital more often signals onsite surgery, imaging and sometimes overnight monitoring capability, while a clinic label can apply to smaller practices focused mainly on exams and outpatient care. It is worth confirming directly what onsite capabilities a specific practice has regardless of which name it uses.

How do microchips actually help reunite lost pets with their owners?

A microchip stores a unique ID number that a scanner at a shelter or vet clinic can read, which then pulls up the owner's contact information from a registry database. The chip itself has no GPS or battery, so it only works once the pet is found and scanned by someone with access to that registry.
