Went out of their way to help my sic cat. Even tho they were already extremely busy and didn't really have time to see another patient they found a way to make time for her. Very much appreciate what this vet clinic did for me as well as for the health of my fur baby.

When my cat swallowed a string, I was terrified of the costs that I would incur. I was quoted about $6,000.00 at a Calgary clinic. However, Valley Vet Drumheller was able to provide a complex surgery and several days of after care at less than a third of the comparable price. The surgeon, Dr. Lehmann has exceptional talent. It is obvious that this clinic cares about people's pets. It feels somewhat understated to say that it is worth the drive! I'm so thankful to have found this clinic readily available in such a dire time.

I've never met a dog that likes going to the vet. When we have not 1 but 2 dogs that love going there, you know everyone is doing a great job from the front of the office to the Vets. Seriously I have to pull them back, we can't get in there fast enough for them.
