A bit about our Clinic

We are delighted to be partners in your pet’s care. We offer a comprehensive range of veterinary services to address the needs of dogs and cats. Our professional, caring and compassionate team can help whether your family pet needs preventive care or advanced medical treatment.
We are also one of the few practices in North America that is equipped with WellKennels, so your pet’s comfort and wellbeing is ensured on those few occasions when you need to leave them with us.
Harwood Veterinary Clinic is where family values meet veterinary expertise. Come in for a chat and you’ll see the difference.
Our vet
Our caring veterinarian is experienced, skilled, and here to help.
Dr. Bart graduated in Veterinary Medicine in 1976 (Lublin, Poland). Spent the first 3 years practicing on large animals in rural Poland. Decided to pursue a PhD degree and spent 2 years in research (developing a vaccine against bovine malignant edematous disease). He abandoned everything and left Poland in 1981 as the threat of martial law and a Soviet invasion became real. Spent the next year practicing in a mixed practice in Bad Soden (West Germany). Came to Canada in 1983 and shortly thereafter started to work as a veterinary assistant to Dr. Jean Gauvin, and later to Dr. Christian d’Orangeville (1984-88). They encouraged him to pass the Canadian National Examining Board licensing exams, which he did. He obtained his Certificate of Qualification in 1989 and his Quebec Licence in 1990. Opened his practice (Clinique Veterinaire Villeray-Papineau) in 1991. Moved with his family to Hudson in 1999 and sold the Montreal practice in 2012. Started practicing in our region as a mobile vet doing house calls in 2013. Opened Clinique Veterinaire Harwood in March of 2019. …the rest is history… 😊
