Trusted Veterinarians in East Gwillimbury, ON Independently Owned Animal Hospital, Deeply Committed to Our Community
Welcome to Blackstone Animal Hospital, a veterinary practice built on the belief that great medicine and genuine compassion belong together.
Opened in 2022 and located in East Gwillimbury, Ontario, Blackstone Animal Hospital was founded by two experienced veterinarians, Dr. Morrow and Dr. Allison, who left corporate practice to build a clinic where pets are treated with patience, care, and the highest standards of medicine — and where clients always feel like neighbours.
We focus on providing exceptional care for dogs and cats, with services ranging from routine preventive care to advanced surgery and daytime emergency support. Our team is here to be a long-term partner in your pet's health, from their very first visit to their senior years.
Why Local Families Choose Blackstone for Vet Care
Choosing a veterinarian is one of the most important decisions you'll make for your pet. At Blackstone Animal Hospital, we've built our practice around the certifications, credentials, and principles that reflect excellence in veterinary medicine — not just on paper, but in how your pet experiences every single visit.
AAHA Accreditation
Fewer than 15% of veterinary practices in North America earn American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) accreditation. We're one of them. That means every standard, all 900-plus of them, has been independently evaluated and verified.
Fear Free Certified Practice
As the first Fear Free Certified Practice in York Region, we’re proud to place as much importance on your pet’s emotional well-being as their physical health. Every member of our team holds individual Fear Free certification, and you’ll notice the difference in every part of a visit.
Independently Owned by Two Women Veterinarians
Our experienced veterinarians built this animal hospital from the ground up, knowing exactly how they want to practice exemplary medicine to serve the needs of the Newmarket area and surrounding communities, not a faceless corporation.
Gold Standard Cat Friendly Practice
Designed with cats in mind, our animal hospital is proud to be a gold standard cat-friendly practice, providing exceptional feline care in a calm, welcoming environment that helps every cat feel safe and comfortable.
Meet Your Pet’s Biggest Champions
Dr. Morrow and Dr. Allison founded Blackstone Animal Hospital together, and they're hands-on in every patient's care. With backgrounds in both general practice and emergency medicine, they bring a depth of experience — and a genuine love for what they do — to every visit.
How Our Veterinary Services Help Your Pet Thrive
From your pet's first visit to advanced surgery, we offer comprehensive care guided by AAHA standards and delivered with a Fear Free touch.

Wellness Care
Prevention is the best medicine. Our wellness exams are thorough and tailored to your pet's age, breed, and lifestyle, covering vaccinations, parasite prevention, nutrition, and senior health.
-
Dentistry
Dental disease affects most pets by age three, but it’s completely preventable. Every dental cleaning at Blackstone includes full-mouth X-rays, because what's happening below the gumline matters just as much as what you can see.
-
Surgery
Our team is experienced in a wide range of soft tissue surgical procedures ranging from spays, neuters and lump removals to urgent gastrointestinal, urinary and reproductive surgical procedures such as caesarian sections. Orthopaedic surgical procedures are available at our hospital by mobile surgeons.
-
Emergency Care
When something goes wrong, call us first. Our veterinarians have deep roots in emergency medicine and are equipped to handle urgent situations during clinic hours based on availability. If we’re unable to see your pet, we’ll guide you on the next best steps.
Healthy Pets, Happy People
To us, there’s nothing better than knowing we helped a pet achieve a healthy, happy life with the people they love. These kind words show us we’re truly making a difference.
