This clinic told me that if my dog has been in pain then its shouldnt be a problem for him to continue to be while we waited 5 day for an appointment. They offered no help or suggestions on the meantime other then keeping him still
Avoid this clinic at all costs if you are looking for somewhere that cares about your pet.

I used to like this animal clinic but the last year has been painful anytime we have to deal with them especially since Covid. They completely over charge for "emergency" appointments ($125) since a person would be unable to book an appointment within the same couple of weeks. Once you get there despite it being an "emergency" and you being charged excessively they still do not intake your animal immediately. On another occasion my fiance' had an appointment for our one dog and called ahead of time to state she may be late, they said "you'll have to reschedule". She did make it several minutes

I beg everyone to come here, it is out of the way if you don't live in Wetaskiwin but the price will makeup for the gas. I got my kitten spayed here and she ended up having a heart murmur and the vets were very communicative throughout the entire surgery so I would feel safe and comfortable, and I could only imagine how comfortable my kitten was if I was feeling like that on the other side of the phone! Her incision was amazing after and she did not need a cone or anything. (couldve just been her though) Place is very clean and they are taking covid precautions very seriously. All and all a great

My only regret is not finding this amazing team sooner! I have a special needs boy (he's very selective on people and dogs he likes) and he approves! I had not found a veterinary team that he liked or took their time to make sure he was comfortable. They make you feel like a genuinely appreciated client, not someone to hurry and push through for the next appt. The Vets, techs, reception and support staff are all second to none who genuinely love all of our beloved pets. They are so amazing, I still use them even though I moved an hour away (2 hours round trip). The prices are very good and the

We decided to bring our 10 month old American Bully here to be neutered as we were quoted significantly less for the surgery than our normal vet. We had heard great recommendations for this vet so decided to give them a try. When we entered the veterinary office, the receptionist didnt acknowledge us and I was actually the first to say hi. I have never been to a veterinarian clinic that has never acknowledged my dog or pet. All of the vets I have used in my past experience are super hands on with my pets, which makes it a lot easier to leave them when needed. The receptionist did not acknowledge

We recently brought our older dog in from Edmonton. While doing so, we probably drove past many other Veternarian clinics. This office has been recommended by a friend, and we soon discovered why. They were friendly, personable, thorough, and didnt push costly surgeries for our little shih-tsu. A couple of days later, she had a medical emergency, and we were accommodated quickly. Their costs are incredibly fair, and the attached boutique has lots of fun treats and accessories.
