EmailCompanion Animals
While we recognize that a special bond exists between people and their pets, unfortunately residents cannot bring their own animals to live at the Apotex Centre. However, it is possible for residents to be accompanied off the floor to visit their own pets if a family member brings them to the Centre. Residents can also ask to have pets visit the Unit in a way that respects other residents and staff.
Please note that before a pet can visit the Unit, you must register the animal with us and provide supporting documentation from a veterinarian showing it is in good health and has all necessary immunizations. For more information, speak to the Therapeutic Recreationist on your floor.
Some floors in the Apotex Centre have live-in pets, including birds and cats. The Therapeutic Recreation department also arranges volunteer pet visits. If you prefer not to have volunteer pets visit you, please make your wishes known to the floor Recreationist.
