Been taking my dogs there for years. The staff are always pleasant and is a nice clean atmosphere. Their prices are great and a lot cheaper than the city, sometimes they feel bad about what they have to charge you. Highly recommend Spruce Grove vet.

I took my dogs to see Dr. Stretch for over 20 years and am so sad to see him retire. I made the drive from Edmonton to take them to him. I have sadly been recently disappointed by the new management and will look for another clinic closer to my home.

Vets are great! Admin I spoke with was useless. Wouldn't give me my own cat's vaccine record even though I have a legal separation agreement with my ex that says she's my property!
