About Us: 

South Shore Veterinary Hospital has recently become part of the VetStrategy group of clinics. VetStrategy is a 100% Canadian operated group of veterinary clinics with locations throughout Canada. We believe that veterinary clinics are an integral part of the community they serve and as such we place a large focus on community-based activities and initiatives. Every clinic we partner with is unique and serves a very diverse client base. 

About VetStrategy

In 2005, VetStrategy co-founder Orin Litman was working for Katz Group Canada helping to expand their pharmacy presence across Canada. He and co-founder Jon Shell dreamed of doing something entrepreneurial. Together they made a pact that whatever they decided to do was going to be in an industry where people were passionate about what they did every day. Orin always had his eye on the veterinary industry. He’s a pet lover, his wife (Dr. Michelle Cutler) is a veterinarian, and Dr. Cutler’s employer at the time (Dr. Bernie Caplan) always encouraged Orin to get involved in the industry. Dr. Caplan felt that Orin’s experience with Katz Group would lend itself well to the veterinary field. Orin and Jon decided to take leaps of faith, leave their jobs, and work with Dr. Cutler and Dr. Caplan to pursue opportunities in the veterinary field. In February 2006, Dr. Cutler purchased McLean Animal Hospital from Don McLean and Bill Hanson, and Orin and Jon went to work managing the practice. Since that time, Orin, Dr. Cutler, and their growing team have developed and refined a model for operating animal hospitals. In 2012, Jon moved to Australia with his family but remains on our Board of... Directors. Our approach blends modern management techniques, a belief in the extraordinary capability of the veterinary clinic staff, and our insistence that our highly skilled veterinarians are free to practice responsible veterinary medicine.
