Veterinarians say they are under more pressure as many leave the profession, and more people get pets and need pet care.
At Kingston Mills Veterinary Hospital, there can be hundreds of calls in a day, says hospital manager Lisa Mitchell.
"We do have some 24-hour clinics in the area and they are also just very overwhelmed," Mitchell said. "And sometimes people are waiting just hours and hours to be seen in an urgent care situations." "We have people that, they’re in Ottawa, they’re new to Ottawa, you know, they’re driving back to Montreal to see their veterinarian there that they’ve known for years and years because they just can’t get in here," he explains.
