Today I had to let my girl go after ten years together, she fought a fairly quick battle with cancer. She had multiple visits during this short time, even an emergency visit, and I couldn't ask for a kinder team of people to help guide both me and her through this. Today it was finally time, before things got really bad, to say good-bye. The results from the most recent testing and the options of treatment were thoroughly discussed with me along side the most current symptoms and I arrived at the conclusion that euthanasia was the best and kindest option, which is what I had been feeling the outcome

We have recently moved to Wetaskiwin area from Edmonton. My dogs, Gus age 12 and Pablo age 10, saw Dr. Foulston for the first time after most of their lives under the care one vet in the city. Dr. Foulston was very patient with my 2 boys and made them and also important, me feel comfortable. I appreciated the easy, caring nature of Dr Foulston. It looks like we have lucked out again and found yet another great vet! Thank you Dr. Foulston for your patience and for the great chat!
