What Calgarians Say About Our Emergency Vet Care

  • Smiling pet owner holding cat

    We recently had to bring our dog to the hospital for emergency care and then almost six weeks of follow-up care. The staff there were always kind, respectful, patient, and accommodating. They were excellent with the big stuff, like our dog's physical care, and they also nailed it with the little things, like always adding a little heart to our dog's bandage.

    Chelsea W.Dog Owner

  • Happy owner holding pet dog

    Our cat Ash had to get emergency surgery. They were exceptionally quick to help, getting us in within 2 hours after i called to inquire. Very professional and helped build estimates to give us the range of prices for what the surgery would cost, from low end to the most expensive it could possibly go. The best part-- it ended up being $100 cheaper than the "lowest end" on the estimate!! 10/10 would whole heartedly recommend this wonderful place.

    Justin F.Cat Owner
  • Pet owner smiling and holding cat

    We had an unexpected emergency with my dog the other day. I'm very thankful to the vet, the tech's and of course the wonderful front staff for making our visit smooth. They took my dog in without an appointment and clearly explained what the issue was, the treatment required and the cost. Great experience and I would highly recommend to any pet owners.
