Owner Review Summary
Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say
👍What Pet Owners Praised
Reviewers consistently praised the team’s compassion, clear communication, and steady professionalism with both small pets and large animals. Many highlighted excellent outcomes after surgery or urgent treatment, vets who explain options thoroughly, and staff who remember clients and make room for emergencies. Fair, reasonable pricing and a lack of upselling were noted repeatedly, and several owners mentioned driving from other cities because of the care and value. The new facility was also appreciated.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
Most comments were strongly positive, with only a few recurring concerns. A number of owners reported limited after‑hours availability for small‑animal emergencies and being directed to Red Deer, plus occasional appointment cancellations or reduced access during busy calving/foaling periods. One reviewer described a misdiagnosis/medication issue, and a couple cited difficulty reaching the on‑call vet. Overall, the tone is overwhelmingly favourable with these caveats noted by a minority.

🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- If you may need after‑hours help for a small‑animal emergency, call ahead to confirm coverage as you may be directed to Red Deer.
- Book early during calving/foaling seasons or weekends, when large‑animal calls can limit small‑animal appointment availability.
- Discuss treatment options and costs—reviewers note the team explains choices clearly and respects owner preferences.
- For horses and livestock, call promptly for farm visits; the clinic is experienced with colic, retained placentas, and c‑sections.
- Owners from outside town often find the drive worthwhile for pricing and care—plan travel time for morning slots if you need to be squeezed in.
