Clinic was very clean, quiet and had us in and out quickly. The vet was so helpful and kind, handled our rabbit gently and it was obvious how well he knew rabbits, their care and potential problems. Will have our rabbit here again when needed.

I will never take another exotic pet to this clinic. I brought my 7 month old mouse to get checked because she was having issues with her eye and Calgary Avian and Exotic was booked up. The doctor had no idea how to handle a mouse and hesitated to touch her. When I offered to scruff her for him he refused and pinned her down with his hand to the point that she got stressed and played dead. I have taken my mice to 2 emergency vets and Calgary Avian and Exotic and have never had my mice handled so rough. He said she just had an eye infection and gave us drops. Less then a week later she had no improvement

Great vet. Also the only place I could find that carries the non-adjuvant Purevax rabies vaccine for cats. My cat has kidney disease and all other vaccines aside from Purevax have adjuvants that inflame and damage the kidneys. I was happy to find this vaccine there. The vet was also very helpful in providing information about a website with homemade cat food recipes instead of trying to discourage me from feeding homemade food (which my cat does best on) like other vets have done. Really liked this vet clinic.

Really catered to my dog and our rush for meds last minute. Recently changed vets to this one and the service is way better. Highly recommend them!
