Vet Recommendations

[beerhunter]

Looking for a recommendation for a vet please.

I am on the south end of Edmonton but willing to travel a short distance to find a reasonable vet.

The wife's fluffy white yappy dog is in need of some attention and don't want to have to re mortgage the house.

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

The vet clinic in spruce grove are awesome they specialize in dogs and cats. I take my lab there if he ever has problems and prices are pretty reasonable.

Greenbank Veterinary. Near whats left of Capilano Mall. All of our dogs have gone there as puppys and had their last visits there. Many years of being a customer and no complaints.

Trimunicipal vet clinic is spruce grove. Personal friends of mine and very honest people. Prices are the norm for spruce. Anything outside of the city the prices generally go down a bit.

Ask to see Dr. Joe! He is my close personal friend, hunting partner, and vet to my 14 year old hunting lab. He does not own the clinic, just on staff there, so I am not sure what the charges of this clinic are, but I can guarantee great service.

Companion vet, just south of AH on 111th street. Suprised how honest he is. Just opened last year, young guy whos brother and father are vets. For the record i usually drive to U of Sask for all things important with my dogs, im picky and this guy has been fair so far.

We took our animals there for a couple years, but had a few bad experiences. In one instance our dog had hernia surgery and was sent home with no pain meds and no cone. We ended up at the emergency hospital twice due to the initial incompetence and our dog suffered greatly. On another occasion we took a cat there for an exam and she only did a cursory check and missed that the poor thing had a prolapsed rectum. She is very quick and should spend much more time actually looking at the animals.

Now we go to Parkwest and Dr. Finyak is fantastic. He did an exam on the same cat and spent at least 3x the time doing the exam, and was very good when we had to put the cat down. The difference between green banks and Parkwest was incredible.

I'd Second Tri-muni west of town. Better prices than in city, and they've got large and small critters covered. Also friends of ours, but that aside, I'd say well worth a bit of a drive too.

You should file a complaint with the Alberta Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) about Greenbank Vet Services Ltd. There is no statute of Limitations. Their website tells you the process.
You have the advantage that you took your dog to the emergency clinic and they will be required to divulge what they saw in their examination, in a required statement to the AVMA.
