Once again, Royal City Animal Hospital is holding our annual "Operation Santa Paws" charity supply drive for the Guelph Humane Society. 

We will be collecting any donations you can provide to help support the life saving work of our friends at the shelter.  

They have a wish list of items they are always in need of, some items they need but they have trouble getting the finances for, and items to help keep their administration costs down. 

This list can be found by clicking this link to the Guelph Humane Society, or you can pick up a copy in our office at Royal City Animal Hospital 245 Edinburgh Rd S in Guelph. 

Please give generously, they really need your help so they can continue to help the animals in need.

Recently, The Guelph Humane Society asked for specific donations of a good Washer and Dryer. Lets hope Santa can provide. 

Charity Dog Wash - Update

Our 3rd Annual Charity Dog wash was held this past weekend (Sunday Sept. 9th).
The Charity we chose to support this year was the Autism Dog Services.
In addition to bathing, and nail trims, we also held raffles for prizes, a photo booth, nail polishing station, as well as guess the staff pet match up games.
With the support of the community and our many sponsors, we were able to raise over $700 for the Autism Dog Services organization.  Thank you to everyone who came out.

Happy Easter!

Teya had a great time collecting Easter Eggs for the National Service Dogs Easter Egg Hunt!  There were about 100 dogs (with their families) at Riverside Park hunting for eggs (dog treats were inside the plastic eggs!).  Thanks to everyone who signed the pledge sheet!  We raised almost $100.  It costs $30,000 to train a Labrador or Golden Retriever as a Service Dog, so every bit that we can contribute really helps!  Thanks again!  Barbara and Katherine

Charity Dog Wash - Huge Success
