Services
Spay and Neuter
Our spay and neuter procedures prevent pet overpopulation while offering health benefits like reduced cancer risks. The surgeries help control pet behavior and improve longevity through minimally invasive techniques. Our veterinary team ensures safe anesthesia and post-operative care for optimal recovery.
Pet Dentistry
Comprehensive dental services include scaling, polishing, and extractions to maintain oral health. We address periodontal disease prevention and treatment of tooth decay. Regular dental checkups help prevent systemic infections that can affect heart and kidney health in pets.
Preventative Wellness Screenings
Annual wellness exams detect early signs of disease through physical evaluations and lab testing. Our screenings include blood work, parasite checks, and lifestyle assessments. Preventative care helps maintain pet health and extends lifespan through early intervention strategies.
Ultrasound Imaging
Collaborating with FVS Imaging, we provide non-invasive ultrasound diagnostics for abdominal, cardiac, and soft tissue evaluations. This technology enables accurate diagnosis without surgical exploration. The service helps identify internal abnormalities through real-time imaging analysis.

Recommend not visiting this location if you value customer service. I had a extremely rude receptionist and asked to not deal with her anymore, if I was able able to speak with another receptionist very politely. I then encountered extreme rudeness from their whole front end team. I had been taking my dog here for 4 years and then took both my dogs recently. It is really sad that they developed a good relationship with Dr. Shilton only for front end staff to treat customers this way. I will be looking for a new clinic as the ladies at the front are extremely rude. There is also no complaint process

About a year ago I decided to start supporting my local businesses. I was using a vet way far away and then I came across a vet that was right across the street Whitemudcrossing veterinary clinic Has been a godsend in so many ways They are always friendly, Vet does an excellent job and the workers are just wonderful! So if you live in the Erminiskin, Empire Park and surrounding areas and have a fur baby.this is a great veterinarian clinic and we should ALL support our local community services!

My dog loves it here as it is always a calm place! The ladies up front are amazing and doctor C is a fantastic vet who really cares about his patients and their owners! As a soon to be new mom, he shared some info and gave me what I needed to also protect my baby from anything my pup could possibly carry! Highly recommend this place :)

Whitemud Crossing Animal Hospital is my go to when it comes to veterinary care. I have been a regular ever since I first brought my Dog here which was 3 years ago. Dr. Shilton is very knowledgeable. He is kind, compassionate and genuinely cares about the pets. And this goes for every other staff at the clinic.They are very hospitable and accommodating. I never feel rushed no matter how busy the Clinic gets. Could not imagine a better doctor for my Mickey. Really happy with their services.
