Canmore Veterinary Hospital

I brought my dog in without an appointment after she had some bloody bowel movements. The staff were very understanding (I was a wreck), and quickly brought my dog and I into an exam room. Dr. Gerrits saw us very quickly, and was very informative and sensitive. They did not conduct any more tests than necessary, and provided me with all the aftercare information and medication I needed. I will definitely continue to go back to this clinic, and recommend it to other pet owners! They are an outstanding team!

I cannot express how wonderful, compassionate and caring the entire staff are at the Canmore Veterinary Hospital are. Dr Sylvia is one of the best I have met, having pets all my life. I strongly recommend to any bow valley pet owner as they will care for you just as much as they care for your pets.

We booked overnight stays at this Vet/kennel for our dog and our son's dog. When we arrived and were completing paperwork, we were informed that if our dogs barked they would put a bark collar on them and charge us $25. If that did not stop the barking then they would sedate them with drugs which would be an additional charge. They told us this was necessary because of their location in a strip mall with neighbors who objected to the barking.
We really didn't like the policy but we were pretty stuck at that point because we had booked accommodation in Banff.
When we returned our son was informed that a bark collar had been placed on his dog because she was whining. And of course he had to pay for it.
Surprising to me that a veterinarian would use these tactics but if we had at least been made aware of the policy at the time of booking we could have declined and made other arrangements.
They are closed Sunday and you have to make an appointment to pick up your pet at either 11:00 am or 3:00 pm.
We would not bring our dogs here again.

The staff are absolutely wonderful! Unparalleled compassion. I am very grateful for Canmore Veterinary Hospital.
