Rosedale Veterinary Clinic

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver asked curiously: ‘Why do the dogs always howl when they see me leave?’ The vet shook his head with a smile and replied, 'They recognize your scent as belonging to someone who brings them treats.' The delivery driver scratched his head, embarrassed but amused. From then on, whenever he delivered packages, he made sure to sneak in an extra treat for the canine patients.

2. One day, an elderly neighbor exclaimed, 'I swear, every time I pass by here, those cats in the waiting room start purring like engines!' Another time, a delivery driver remarked, ‘How do they know my pizza’s here?’ Turns out, whenever he arrived, one particular dog would start howling in perfect sync with the jingle on his truck. It became such a routine that everyone assumed the animals had some secret signal!’

3. One afternoon, over the clinic’s intercom came a voice that sent everyone scrambling for their calendars: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, it is with great pleasure that we announce our very first canine opera recital.’ As the doors swung open, a tiny poodle in a little tuxedo bounded onto the stage, followed by a beagle in a dress uniform. The audience erupted into laughter when a labrador retriever, wearing spectacles, began conducting the orchestra—a regular cat from next door had volunteered his services as the conductor's assistant. By the end of the performance, even the most stoic vet technicians were wiping away tears—and so was the delivery driver who’d mistakenly ordered tickets online.

4. One night, while closing up shop, a tech heard a strange humming sound coming from the empty waiting room. Curious, he peered inside and saw nothing but shadows—until the lights flickered on their own accord. Suddenly, an old photo of the clinic’s founder, Dr. Rose, smiled back at him from the wall. The tech chuckled nervously and left, only to hear the same humming again later that week when he was home alone. Turns out, it was just his neighbor’s cat, who loved visiting the quiet clinic after hours.
