A neighbourhood clinic since 2012

Sage opened on Gordon Street in 2012 with one exam room and a borrowed X-ray machine. Today we're five vets, a pet shop and a daycare, but every visit still runs on the same idea: slow down, explain everything, and treat every animal like it's ours.

    Our Lab usually shakes at the vet. At Sage he walked in wagging. They took their time, explained everything and he recovered quickly.
