After months of him being sick and opting for surgery in the hopes that he could be saved it did not work out in our favour. Through out our experience with the Western Veterinary Centre, there was nothing but compassion and respect for myself and my husband and our furry family member. We appreciate it beyond words for the work that you do and for the passion and love of the little ones that come through the door. Thank you to Dr. Debra Henderson for the multiple phone calls. And also to the grief counselor Judith Blythe. Your sweet voice and thoughtful words were very much appreciated. Sincerely, Christine and Bryan Smith

I'm already the Humane Society they could pay the vet bill if I can't afford two grand and I wasn't gonna let my dog die so being selfless, I did sign the paper of the biggest hardest thing I ever did and then after that, they tried to charge me with abandonment and send the byelaw after me. I had to go to court to prove that I wasn't neglected after all they just decided to drop it all yeah it was the saddest time in my life. I don't recommend this anything vca and the city of Calgary. If it's VCA avoid it with your pet no good if you wanna lose your pet that's a good place to do it.

My dog Ruby passed away while receiving emergency care at this hospital. This was an extremely…read moreupsetting experience, and after reviewing her medical records and timeline, I have serious concerns about how her case was handled. Ruby was at the hospital from approximately 7 a.m. until around 4 p.m. According to the records I received, her condition and vital signs changed during her hospitalization. I am concerned about the timing of the response to those changes and about the management of her respiratory condition. Her records also document tracheal collapse, and the radiology findings raised additional concerns for me. I repeatedly communicated that I wanted the veterinary team to do what was medically necessary for Ruby and that I would pay for her treatment. During this emergency, however, I was contacted about additional costs and asked to make payments before further treatment proceeded. From my perspective, too much valuable time was spent discussing and processing payment while Ruby was critically ill. Ruby ultimately suffered cardiac arrest and died at the hospital. I cannot say with certainty what the outcome would have been with different treatment, but after reviewing the medical timeline, I have serious questions about whether interventions could have been escalated sooner. Another part of the experience that was particularly painful occurred immediately after Ruby died. While I was holding her and grieving, I was approached about paperwork. Given what had just happened, I found the timing extremely insensitive. I paid approximately $3,000 for Ruby's care. More importantly, I trusted this hospital with a member of my family during a medical emergency. I am sharing my experience because I believe other pet owners should ask detailed questions about treatment plans, timing of interventions, and payment requirements when bringing a critically ill animal here. Ruby was deeply loved, and losing her that day was devastating.

Not only a great surgeon, but clearly cared about our dog- Dr. Connery has a great 'bedside manner' which we very much appreciate. He gave Sadie a whole new lease on life, at 6 and 7 years of age. Dr. Connery gets 6 stars out of 5. We have good but slighlty inconsistent experiences with the front desk. Often very good or good, sometimes a bit lacking. That said, one of the staff at the front desk, Iris, is second to none. Speaking to her on a weekend, when Sadie was in distress, Iris dilligently help us to resolution, with a true sense of concern for the dog (that she's never met). Again, fantastic. Would absolutely recommend this facility.

I came in later in the afternoon after having an issue with my dogs incision. My regular vet was…read moreclosing soon and was all the way in Didsbury, so they found somewhere local that I could pick up a cleaning kit and some antibiotics for my dog. My regular vet additionally emailed ahead and provided multiple different variations of antibiotics and various methods to help me clean my dogs incision. I even called ahead to confirm that they had gotten the email and I would be able to pick up my dogs cleaning kit and medication later. there was no follow up email or call let me know that they would not be able to assist me in providing my dog medical attention. When I showed up, I was greeted by a very nice receptionist, but after that, I was then told by the veterinarian that they did not have any medication/cleaning supplies they could provide me. That was the end of the conversation... no offer to help or administer any sort of medical attention to my animal. This place is a very sad excuse for a hospital as the care provided was on par with a walk in clinic. I will never be bringing my animals back to this location nor will I recommend anyone visit this location.

My vet of 30 years retired. So very sad so I had to find a new vet for my five-year-old Yorky Poo…read more After asking around and phoning I called Beddington Trail animal Hospital I wanted to have his teeth cleaned and possibly settle in with them as my regular vet. They gave me a reasonable price of around $500 including the blood test before surgery. Compared to other prices around the city this was very reasonable. I had to wait a month for the specialist to have an appointment. This is a little unusual in my experience but not a problem. When I brought him in it was done and he was in good shape when I picked him up. I never met the dental surgeon. A few weeks after his dental work I was taking care of a friends dog and my little guy gashed his head maybe on a nail under my deck. I called and was told I could bring him in but if it required stitches I would have to go to the emergency clinic. He was bleeding profusely so I rushed over there and Doctor B. Saw him and cleaned the wound cut the fur and gave him pain meds and an antibiotic shot. He had me make an appointment to see the surgeon 48 hours later. The only thing I find unusual is that this clinic does not seem to have a surgeon on staff. I don't know if that specialist works elsewhere or they just can't get someone in on a regular basis. My dog was well treated, kindly and I was reassured when they were cleaning his wound. As for the surgery they put in five stitches and he was ready to come home. I'll come back for regular care but know they keep prices down by moving patients along quickly.

The assistant showed us to an examination room with a cheap thin blanket on a metal table right by where you could hear ALL the dogs crying. They gave our dog a shot and made it sound like it would put her to sleep before they did THE shot! Well for almost 40 minutes we kept waiting and waiting only to find the shot was to calm the dog. The shot to put her to sleep should have been after the calming shot! My daughter and grandchild were crying thinking their dog was fighting it. After over an hour then they gave the euthanasia shot! Let us sit there thinking the dog was fighting it. Oh and it gets better! They wanted us to pay for blood work for a dog who is being euthanized and the dog checked all the boxes of a dog who is suffering! Total money grab because my daughter didn't pay for all the bells and whistles and buy everything (ashes, box and paw prints). It was such a COLD and absolutely terrible place to put your extended family member down. DON'T take your dog here because they only care about charging more by trying to take advantage of your pain! I had to put my dog down and went to Pet Friendly Animal Clinic and a completely different story! Private room and away from everyone, soft inviting room with couches that made you feel okay. Private exit door so people don't see you crying your eyes out AND the cost is almost the same! Shame on all of the staff at the Beddington clinic, they're a disgrace to the industry!

My recent experience with the reception staff and the Veterinarians confirmed my approval of this clinic. The front staff is always pleasent, the other staff always come and say "hi", giving my pup a good scratch. They have pictures up on the walls of the staff with their pets, it reassures you that they are owners too, that they love animals. There is always at least 2 dogs behind the front desk, a cat here and there. The check-up rooms are always clean. The Doctors are always thourough and talk with you about your dog, not just at you. When I had my dog nuetered I knew that he would be taken care of. He loves people and they took an interest in him, which I am sure they do with all the animals coming though there. We had no issues with his surgery, the incision looked great and healed well. Their prices for visits and shots are reasonable. The nutering was quite pricey, but we did pull out all the stops, like extra pain meds, the infamous "cone" and a microchip. They have a wall of toys for pets, as well as an extensive stock of Doctor recommended foods. I have been nothing but pleased with their treatment of my pup and their friendliness to me. I will definitely keep Crowfoot Vet as my go-to place for my pets!

We brought our dog in to have a cracked nail looked at. We initially came in for a simple nail trim…read moreand were told the vet had to do an exam, which was quoted at $60. Shortly after, we were told our dog would need to be sedated and have the nail fully removed, with a quoted cost of $680. The nail may have been cracked for a few days already and was not bleeding, not infected, and not bothering him at all. Because of this, the recommendation felt extremely excessive. Given that it was New Year's Day and one of the only clinics open, it honestly felt like we were being taken advantage of. Dr. Navdeep Singh was very cold and not personable. The interaction felt rushed and uncomfortable, and it seemed like scare tactics were being used to push us into an unnecessary procedure. We trusted our gut and declined, asking instead for the broken part of the nail to simply be clipped so we could follow up with our regular vet when they reopened. After seeing our regular vet, we were advised that they would not have removed the nail after examining it and that the proper course was simply to keep it clean and dry. This further confirmed that the initial recommendation was unnecessary. We were also told it would be $40 just to bandage the nail, which felt unreasonable for something so basic. At that point, it really seemed like every small step came with an added charge, and it gave the impression that the focus was more on making money than providing appropriate care. After leaving, we reviewed the bill and saw we were charged $110 total -- $80 for the visit and $25 for a nail trim -- which did not align with what we were initially told. At that point we just wanted to leave, but we will be calling to speak with management. Overall, the experience felt cold, overpriced, and pressured, and we left feeling uneasy rather than reassured about our dog's care. I would not recommend this clinic.
