Services
Emergency Care
Our clinic provides 24-hour emergency veterinary services for small and large animals, addressing critical injuries, illnesses, and post-surgical complications. With on-call staff and advanced diagnostic tools, we stabilize patients promptly. Emergency care includes trauma management, acute pain relief, and life-saving interventions, ensuring immediate attention outside regular hours.
TPLO Surgery
We specialize in Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO) surgery for dogs with cranial cruciate ligament injuries. This procedure stabilizes the knee joint, preventing arthritis and restoring mobility. Post-operative care includes laser therapy to reduce inflammation and accelerate recovery, with most patients resuming normal activity within 3-6 months.
Dentistry
Our dental services include routine cleanings, radiography, extractions, and periodontal treatments for small animals. Equine dentistry features PowerFloat procedures to address dental irregularities. Preventive care is emphasized, with annual oral exams and February discounts on small animal dentals to promote long-term oral health.

We offer comprehensive equine care, including wellness exams, reproductive ultrasounds, lameness evaluations, and mobile digital radiography. Services extend to sports performance assessments, Coggins testing, and surgical treatments for castration or lacerations. Our team provides on-farm consultations and emergency support for horses in Southern Alberta.
Food Animal Care
Our food animal services cover herd health management, pregnancy testing, vaccination protocols, and surgical treatments for beef, dairy, and small ruminants.
