Meet the Doctors & Staff of Derrydale Animal Hospital
Our History
Derrydale Animal Hospital was founded July 7th, 1986 by Dr. Zaharchuk in an old Victorian house on Hwy 10 in Brampton and was named for its proximity to the Derrydale Golf Club, located on Hwy 10 at Derry Road. In early 1997, we moved into our current location and have enjoyed our new home ever since.
