A new chapter has begun at Schomberg Veterinary Services, one defined by advanced medical standards, heartfelt care, and a passion for innovation from two dedicated veterinarians who have already built a strong reputation across the GTA.

In April 2025, Dr. Mena Melek and Dr. Abraam Khalil took over the long-standing Schomberg clinic, located at 17365 Highway 27. The new owners kept its trusted name while bringing a modern, prevention-focused approach to the practice. Both doctors are no strangers to hands-on care – they launched GTA Mobile Veterinary Services several years ago and continue to operate the mobile practice alongside their new clinic.

“This business has helped us tap into a whole new market in the veterinary space. Many of our clients are seniors who have difficulty transporting pets to-and-from the vet, people with pets who are overweight and struggling with health conditions that make transportation difficult,” says Dr. Melek. “We provide at-home pet care, including euthanasia, which we found makes a huge difference to our clients, as many people want their pets’ last days to be spent in the comfort and familiarity of their own home. This ensures that they have privacy during a very difficult time.”

The emotional weight of that kind of service reflects their philosophy: treat every pet like family and every client with compassion. That mind set has now transitioned into their brick-and-mortar clinic, where they prioritize prevention and long-term wellness over reactive care.

Dr. Melek brings a particularly rare perspective to King Township. He earned his veterinary license overseas, later becoming certified in Canada in 2013, then going to work at an Emergency Veterinary Clinic in California for a year and a half. That experience, he says, shaped his proactive medical approach.

Working in emergency care taught him how to avoid emergency situations, and he now applies that mind set daily in Schomberg. Education is a core component of the clinic, both for staff and pet owners. Dr. Melek and Dr. Khalil educate clients on the importance of prevention so that they can avoid immediate interference and emergency services.

Five months into reopening, the clinic is already earning a reputation for offering big-city technology with small-town care. They invested in a high-resolution digital X-ray machine, work closely with a radiology team for expert interpretation, and include dental X-rays as a standard part of every cleaning – a service many clinics charge extra to perform.

By appointment, pet owners also have access to professional ultrasounds through an on-site partnership with a certified ultrasound technician. Comprehensive lab testing is completed through one of the top veterinary labs in North America, ensuring fast and reliable results. And if a case needs a second opinion? They don’t hesitate to obtain one.

“We provide highest level in terms of quality of medicine for a reasonable price. That is why we are so excited to share our services with King Township, and its surrounding areas” says Dr. Melek.

Pet owners will also notice how easy the team makes visit management. Clients can book appointments online, select which veterinarian they want to see, and even text with staff for quick questions. The clinic also automatically reminds pet owners about upcoming vaccinations and annual checkups – another example of its emphasis on preventive care.

Their online store allows customers to order food, treats, and toys, with free delivery on orders over $100. Many products are currently 5–10% off select brands. And February is already shaping up to be a busy month – it’s Dental Month at Schomberg Veterinary Services, with 10–20% off dental cleanings and extractions on a first-come, first-served basis.

With integrity at their core and excellence in every detail, Schomberg Veterinary Services is redefining local pet care – bringing world-class expertise to the heart of the village. Interested in becoming a client?
