The gaps are rarely deliberate

01
Many species under one roof, each carrying different risks.
02
Constant close contact between animals, staff, and pet owners.
03
Shared surgical suites, kennels, and equipment that spread infection fast.
04
The real threat of zoonotic disease passing between animals and people.
When infection control slips, it doesn’t just affect your patients. It puts your staff, your clients, and your clinic’s reputation on the line.
  • One Outbreak Changes Everything

A single preventable infection can sideline your team, frighten loyal clients, and undo years of trust. Strong IPAC protects the animals in your care and the people who love them, and it shows every client who walks in that safety comes first.

  • That's Where We Come In

We take infection control off your plate. As a medical-doctor-led team, we build protection that fits the species you treat and the way your clinic runs, so you can focus on caring for animals.

Real Results for Real Facilities

We don’t just give advice. We deliver outcomes. Here’s how we’ve helped facilities across Canada resolve problems and protect their people.

Long-Term Care ·
Ontario

Admissions reopened

0 %
IPAC non-compliances at the Ministry re-inspection

From closed-to-admission to a clean Ministry inspection.

A GTA long-term care home was closed to new admissions after repeat IPAC infractions and back-to-back outbreaks. We turned every finding into one prioritized plan, rebuilt their IPAC program around how the home actually runs, and used our AuditPPE tool to make hand hygiene, PPE, and cleaning stick. At re-inspection: zero non-compliances, and admissions reopened.

Dental · Ontario

Compliance restored

0 %+
compliance maintained across all four offices

They passed another consultant's audit, then failed Public Health.

A four-office dental group failed a Public Health inspection soon after another IPAC consultant gave them a glowing review. They called us. Our 275-point audit scored them at 37% and flagged several urgent issues. We built a prioritized plan, worked alongside the team on waterline and sterilization compliance, and lifted them to 83% in three months, now holding above 95% across all four practices.

Veterinary Hospital · Ontario

Opened IPAC-ready

Day 0
inspection-ready before the doors opened

IPAC built in from the blueprints up.

A new veterinary hospital brought us in before a single patient arrived. We assessed the build against CSA standards, PIDAC, and the veterinary college’s IPAC guidelines, fixed design and workflow gaps while they were still cheap to correct, and trained the team on admission, isolation, and reprocessing. They opened compliant, and a follow-up visit confirmed it.
