Client Reviews
What pet families are saying
I can't say enough about Dr Sam and her staff… trust them implicitly with my little guys. Very thorough and caring. You never leave feeling rushed or with unanswered questions. Very price conscientious and thoughtful… they are in the vet business for the RIGHT reasons. Highly recommend.
Where do I even start? This AMAZING vet has truly helped me get over my very rational fear of vets. They took extra precautions to ensure my puppy wouldn't get other puppies/kittens sick, sterilized everything prior to my appointment and were all incredibly nice. Not only were they polite, professional and punctual, they were also very affordable. I'll never take my pups anywhere else.
We love Dr. Sami! She is so good with our pets and love the location! She has very high standards for the care of our pets and gives amazing advice.
Dr. Sam is the best vet in Calgary hands down. Love the clinic, love the staff, love how she spends time with my dog and she isn't rushing in and out. She gets to know you as a person, and every time I go in she treats both me and my dog with 100% attentiveness. Absolutely lovely environment and amazing vet who genuinely cares about all her 4-legged patients.

Best price in the city and just generally very kind.
