Skyway Animal Hospital is officially on the market.

The Welland Avenue building, which once housed embattled veterinarian Dr. Mahavir Rekhi, who was caught on video abusing animals in his care, appears on MLS with a price tag of $899,900.

The commercial-building listing advertises 3,375 square feet of ground-floor space and a rented upper residential apartment. The agent, Sarjan Rekhi of Royal Star Realty, describes it as an excellent investment opportunity with strong growth potential.

Located at 514 Welland Ave., the animal hospital and its owner made national headlines after CTV Toronto aired clips during its Sept. 14, 2016, evening broadcast, from a series of videos recorded by four former employees of the animal hospital that showed Rekhi choking and hitting animals in his care.

Rekhi had been found guilty of professional misconduct by the College of Veterinarians of Ontario (CVO) a month earlier; he was suspended for 10 months and fined $10,000.

Jessica Hamilton, one of the four employees involved, said the outcome was a “slap on the wrist” at the time, noting they had thought he’d lose his licence.

Rekhi completed a comprehensive remediation program. His status changed from suspended to active six months later, and he reopened the animal hospital amid demonstrations in front of the building from angry former clients and animal lovers.

Richard Hirst and his wife Vivian were among those who joined in the protest on the day the clinic reopened in February 2017. The St. Catharines couple used to take their dogs to the animal hospital, but said they moved to another veterinarian after an uncomfortable experience with Rekhi and their dog Tango.

On Wednesday, Hirst said he wasn’t surprised to hear the animal hospital had shut its doors.

“Whenever I’d drive by, I’d never see any cars in the parking lot,” he said, adding he’s not sure why anyone would put their pets in his care. “He shouldn’t be a vet at all.”
