Consultation fees vary by clinic in Canada and veterinary fees are not regulated by a government-published fee schedule; provincial health insurance such as OHIP does not cover pets. Call the clinic for a current quote, and for dental work, surgery, diagnostics, or other procedures, ask for an itemized written estimate before approving treatment. Pet insurance and third-party payment-plan options exist in Canada, but confirm directly whether any option applies to your visit.

Canadian veterinary clinics commonly accept Interac debit, Visa or Mastercard, and tap-and-go payments such as Apple Pay or Google Pay, while some may support pet-insurance direct claims or third-party payment plans.

Riverside Animal Hospital is described as offering same-day and urgent care appointments, but the review summary notes it is not a dedicated emergency hospital.
