Dr Erica was amazing when we had to call her in the middle of the night when our senior pup was ill and ending up passing away at the clinic! Many many thanks for your care and compassion.

A few months ago my dog dislocated her hip, she received surgery. Everything went extremely well! 2 weeks later my dog was attacked by another dog, the vet was very knowledgeable in helping and was able to make my pup feel better by the next day. I will never go to a different vet again!

I highly recommend the Fort Macleod Vet Clinic! Dr. Baker & the entire staff provided me and my puppy with caring, personal, honest professionalism during an almost 3 month period of attempting to save my puppy’s leg. He is now back to enjoying life on 3 legs & I am so thankful.

We brought our boy here for the first time last January to have some dental work done and the staff were absolutely incredible. They treated him so well and treated us with so much respect. Red dog was in great hands and we knew that. We recently had to put our boy down it was an after hours call so it was just the four of us there and we couldn’t… have asked for a better place to have to say goodbye. We were given so much time and respect kindness compassion and love. We just want to say a huge thank you to all of you and your staff who worked with us and red dog. Highly highly recommend

I brought my cat Brewster in for an appointment, the care and compassion and understanding we received was top notch. And bless them, they sent a beautiful condolence card to us a few days later, with Brewster'… s paw print. Something that I wasn't even in the mind set to do. I will be forever grateful for their kindness and compassion. I'm so glad I took him to Fort Macleod Vet, I trust them with my heart. Thank you!
