Veterinary Teaching Hospital


Welcome to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital at the University of Saskatchewan. The Veterinary Teaching Hospital provides the highest quality veterinary care and education. Each year the hospital cares for 15,000 animals, and approximately 30,000 animals are treated through 3,600 field service visits. Our patients include cats, dogs, reptiles, birds, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, horses, cows, sheep, goats, pigs, and exotic and wild-life animals. The hospital is staffed by veterinarians who have interests in various specialty areas.
At the Veterinary Teaching Hospital, our clinical specialists are busy with patient care, and often have very limited time between cases to return requests for information. For this reason, only those consultations and requests for information received from veterinarians will be returned. If you have a concern about your animal’s health, we encourage you to contact your local veterinarian. A veterinarian who wishes to seek advice from a Veterinary Teaching Hospital clinician may contact the Small Animal Clinic (306) 966-7126 or the Large Animal Clinic (306) 966-7178.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
