"I became a vet to say yes more often, yes to the early visit, yes to the extra question, yes to care that doesn't start with a price tag. That's exactly what Novel lets our team do."

Chris is bringing Novel's team-based, no-exam-fee model to Ancaster: a clinic that's unhurried, transparent, and genuinely kind, built around your pet, not the bill.

Questions, answered

Good to know
before you join

Still curious about the offer or the new clinic? Here are the things Ancaster pet parents ask us most about Novel Vet membership and our upcoming location.

It's a $250 credit added to your Novel account the day the Ancaster clinic opens. You can spend it on any service or product — a wellness visit, vaccines, dental work, diagnostics, and more. It stacks on top of your member savings and never expires while your membership is active.

Novel Ancaster opens on April 1, 2027 at 223 Wilson St E, Ancaster, Ontario L9G 2B8. Pre-registering now reserves one of just 250 founding memberships and locks in your $250 credit before we open.

Novel Ancaster is at 223 Wilson St E in Ancaster village, Hamilton, Ontario (postal code L9G 2B8). The clinic is easy to reach from Ancaster, Dundas, Hamilton Mountain, and west Greater Hamilton, with on-site parking.

Founding membership starts at $20 per month ($240 billed annually) for one pet, or $24 per month ($288 billed annually) for a multi-pet household. Every plan includes unlimited $0 in-clinic exams, 24/7 virtual tele-triage, and up to 45% off products and services — with no exam fees.

Your annual membership starts, and billing begins, on the day of your first appointment at Novel Burlington, or on Ancaster's opening day, whichever comes first. If you use your membership in Burlington before we open, that first visit sets your billing date. Either way, your $250 Ancaster credit is waiting when our doors open.

Unlimited $0 in-clinic exams, 24/7 virtual tele-triage, and up to 45% savings on products and services, with no exam fees, ever. Single-pet and multi-pet plans are available.

Novel Ancaster will offer wellness and vaccination, dentistry, medical care, in-house diagnostics, health screening, surgery and orthopaedics, and more — all with transparent, upfront pricing and a team-based care model led by veterinarians and registered veterinary technicians.

Memberships are a 12-month commitment, designed to give your pet consistent, relationship-based care throughout the year. You can pay annually upfront or monthly, and you can add more pets at any time (downgrades aren't available mid-term).

Yes. If you have more than one pet, our Multi-Pet plan covers your whole household at a better rate — $30 per month versus $24 per month for a single pet.

Absolutely. You can book a tour of the clinic or a one-time appointment. We'd love to meet you and your pet before you decide to join.

On an annual single-pet membership, if your pet passes away within the first six months we'll cancel your membership and refund the unused months. After month six, no refund is provided. Our team is always here to talk it through with care.

No problem — you can join Novel and transfer your records anytime. Our team will help make the switch smooth, and your $250 credit makes a great first visit even easier.
