Our Story, Told by Kristina Szabo (DVM/Clinic Owner)
Two years ago, I welcomed Star into my life. She suffered a facial deformity, had difficulty eating, and required several hours of care a day — but what a gift. Spending that time with her, helping her overcome these hurdles bonded us, she became more than a cat. She became my companion. Star came everywhere with me — on my sailboat, stand-up paddle boarding, for walks with friends. Star is a symbol of resilience, bravery, and trust.
Our shared experiences formed the foundation of Star Veterinary Hospital. Star’s gentle demeanour, her ability to accept everyone she encounters, and her unwavering trust in me are the values that guide our hospital: compassion, bravery, acceptance and boundless love.
As you step into Star Veterinary Hospital, you’re not just entering a veterinary clinic. You’re joining a community that revolves around love and care. And you might even catch sight of Star herself, as she continues to inspire us every day.
Join us, and let’s create a haven where your pets are more than patients — they’re family.

Pet Wellness Exams
Pets age faster than humans. While their lives progress more quickly, serious medical conditions do too. Annual pet wellness exams can help detect serious medical conditions and allow our facility to treat them before their status becomes unmanageable.
Pet Spay & Neuter
At Star Veterinary Hospital, our skilled and compassionate veterinary team can perform reliable spay and neutering procedures for your cats and dogs.
Pet Nutrition Counselling
Nutritional requirements for dogs and cats vary depending on a variety of factors, including age, breed, and health. Call us to set up a personalized nutrition consultation for you and your pet.
Pet Diagnostic Imaging
In an effort to provide your pet with superior medical care, we perform diagnostic imaging services, such as X-ray and Ultrasound, to supplement prognosis. Medical imaging employs the use of machinery to give a photographic representation of abnormalities or injuries. When performing diagnostic imaging, our veterinarian can provide a safe, accurate diagnosis and promptly treat the problem.
Pet Dental Care
Dental hygiene is often overlooked in pets, but caring for your dog or cat’s oral health is just as important as it is for yourself. At Star Veterinary Hospital, our team offers quality veterinary dentistry in Toronto.

Dr. Szabo and the team (we worked with Jared and Fae) at Star Veterinary are fantastic. Our cat, Kira, ingested a foreign body and the team was so helpful and calming during a very stressful time for our family. Kira ended up needing surgery and Star Veterinary kept us informed through the whole process — including walking us through the pricing beforehand. They even called us the day after the surgery to check in and asked for pictures to make sure she was healing well. We are so thankful for the team at Star Veterinary and their dedication to pets.

I recently brought my dog, Mocha, to Star Veterinary for the first time to get her vaccinations. Dr. Szabo and her staff, Faye, were all great and very personable. Dr. Szabo was very knowledgeable and transparent, which is something I really appreciate. She triaged the situation and made recommendations, and at no time did I feel pressured or judged if I decided not to go ahead with a recommendation. Overall, Mocha and I had a great experience, and we will be bringing her back.
Thanks, Dr. Szabos and team.

The Best Vet Doctor and staff in Toronto!
Thank you so much, Dr. Szabo and Faye, for your care and help. We brought our Boo to Star Veterinary Hospital, and everything went well with super care, and they were very informative. Maple was comfortable and wasn’t afraid of the procedure, and we didn’t feel worried. Dr. Szabo cared about Maple as if he were her dog, and we appreciated that very much! That kind of care and service is hard to find. We were very worried about what would be the right thing to do for Maple, but Dr. Szabo explained everything, and we were so happy with the result. Dr. Szabo Maple’s Doctor really cares, and we thank you very much.
