LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR VETERINARY HOSPITAL
Billings Bridge Animal Hospital has been providing exceptional veterinary care in south Ottawa for 30 years. Our hospital was founded in 1986 and has grown from a small, one-doctor practice in a strip mall to a busy four-doctor practice in a 2,100 square foot standalone building at the corner of Lamira Street and Rooneys Lane.
Our animal hospital has a long tradition of building lasting relationships with you and your pets. Our staff are knowledgeable, caring and always respectful. Our experienced vets will explain your options in a thorough manner and will never perform unnecessary tests or procedures. Contact us.

She also enjoys running, circuit training, and various forms of water sports and recreation. Indoors, she enjoys baking (and eating) bananas, as she can not get enough of the fabulous fruit!
