I always love this place when I get good news, lol
They always look after my 11 year old dog
01 November 2023 12:47
Staff were very friendly and went out of there way to ease our dogs anxiety. Dr Pugh was efficient and completed the exam and vaccines with no resistance from Charlie. Great job, Thank you!

Great Staff and truly love your pets and treat them with such love and compassion.
Strongly recommend this Vet.

I came to McKnight vet hospital to get a second opinion for out Beautiful boy Bentley.
Dr Vanessa was so amazing with him, and because of her knowledge and compassion Bentley is getting better.
The whole experience was great, the lady that I initially spoke to when I phoned to see if they could see us in was also wonderful, and got us in within an hour!
All the staff were so kind and compassionate and our family is so grateful.
20 August 2023 2:54
My husband and I had a very good experience with the staff at the clinic. They are all very polite and eager to help. We highly recommend McKnight Veterinary Hospital if you're looking for a qualified team to care for your pet!
31 December 2022 6:17
Great clinic. They took me right away and spent all the time needed to make sure my pup was in fine form. They also gave him his shots and allayed any other concerns I had about the dogs health. Great bunch of people and I am going to make them my vet for my pup.

We took our beloved Harley there to be put down. They did it in the cruelest, most inhumane manner possible. He was stumbling, bumping into furniture, falling. It was gross. These people have no business touching animals. They robbed us of a peaceful, dignified last time with our Harley and showed no kindness or respect to him. It was so wrong.
12 November 2022 4:49
I guess they are no longer a full service Vet, and will be shutting down sooner than later due to lack of staff: (They have been my vet for approx10 yrs.
07 November 2022 19:32
These guys are awesome! Have called them 3 times in the past year becauze the hours are helpful! They are always very helpful and make me feel at ease when I’m worried about my pup!

Last night my moms kitty was on deaths door. He was suffering from cancer and his body was giving out. My mom was at work when we found the kitty in his last stages. Because clinics all close at 8 in airdrie we needed to find the fastest drive down to have kitty officially put to sleep. Thankfully McKnight did allow for us to walk in and go straight to their goodbye room… which by the way is right beside the waiting room.

It was boiling hot in there and the lights were bright. The front desk girl handled everything really well… she took the kitty back to the vet quickly and told us he had to be euthanized. Of course we knew that which is why we were there.

The vet who was younger came moments later saying the same thing and had needles in her hand. She was clearly in a rush and didn’t talk to us. She had a blank face on and basically stuck the needle in and without letting my mom have her peace to at least say bye she just put the death juice in.

I know the cat was basically passed prior but my mom had to ask the vet to hold on so she could say goodbye. It was literally seconds after…

The vet just said we could take as much time as we wanted and left.

No I’m sorry from anyone there.no compassion. I mean I understand that it’s a rough job and these poor vets see so much… but even just one little smile or acknowledgment of this senior citizen crying all over the place would have been nice.

Honestly I would NEVER go back there myself even for a euthanasia. It was almost like a drive by injection.

My cat passed at western vca hospital 5 weeks ago wirh a completely different vet than we usually have.and as tough as nails as she was, even she took her time and had a small tear in her eye. Plus their back room was very well tailored for goodbyes. It was large and darkly lit with beautiful pictures and cards for help.

Like I said the front desk sees a lot and doesn’t always have to show emotion…but a “wham bam injection slam” is pretty tacky.

I’m glad I never used this clinic when my own cat was sick. Make the extra drive and go to 4th street or hit up Western VCA 12 mins away.

At least you won’t feel treated as just another euthanasia case.

Edited to say that a month later they still never sent the ink footprints. My mom went to the clinic and they couldn’t find them. Nor did they send a sympathy card that was supposed to contain them! What a disaster!
01 October 2022 2:27
Very fast, patient and professional, p we well as kind service when I needed to take my cat in, at short notice. Reception was exceptional, and the veterinarian Dr. Abigail was very knowledgeable and helpful with Jax.
30 September 2022 20:50
Went there to get porcupine quills out of my pup they quoted me within a $300 range and said that my quote would be closer to the lower end. They called an hour later saying that it would be about $300 extra for more time.
They literally called me 10 mins later saying they were done and the actual price was $500 more then they originally quoted.
I will never be going here again would rather take the drive to paramount.
24 September 2022 17:55
I've been taking my pets here for over 15 years. Everyone is always welcoming and nice and for an emergency vet, the prices are reasonable. I definitely appreciate how they will suggest things for your pet but never force sales on you.
22 September 2022 16:58
McKnight Vet. Hospital has been Mocha's clinic for about three years now and I enjoy the fact they are a local business, not just a large scale Veterinary hospital franchise.
05 September 2022 11:05
Staff are super friendly, knowledgeable, and caring. Thanks so much for helping me get my complicated little rescue kitty better!
12 August 2022 18:39
I took my dog to this clinic without an appointment when he was very ill. They triaged him and discussed their recommendations with me. The team at McKnight Veterinary Hospital were very welcoming and it was very clear that my pup was going to be very well cared for. I am happy to report that with his treatment on site and the follow up care at home he is on the road to a complete recovery. I think it's important to note that while I was waiting there were several people that came in to the clinic with various needs and this team of professionals made sure that every person that came through the door was attended to in a very professional manner. I would not hesitate to give this business 10 stars if it was an option!
31 July 2022 22:56
Negative stars should be an option. This vet is atrocious and couldn't care about your animals health. The staff is rude and the vets refuse to explain anything. Take your animals anywhere else the only thing they care about is money.
Don't try and express your concerns to them either, all that will happen is excuses.
06 June 2022 6:20
I went here this evening at about 7pm, I had a stray cat to bring in because I wanted it to get medical treatment before being turned over to Animal Services. I live in Skyview prior to that, Thorncliffe, drove 20 mins to find them closed! A 24H VET Closed! I don't understand the logic in having the title of "24 hour veterinary clinic" if said vet clinic has closing hours at 6pm. If a business or establishment has a closing time, they cannot therefore be called a 24 place of operation. I will not recommended McKnight "24 hour" Veterinary Clinic to any friends or family that require 24 hour veterinary services. In fact i would recommend that people just go elsewhere entirely. I ended up going to the Paramount 24 hour Veterinary Clinic with no closing hours and they were glad to help me with my lost cat.
31 May 2022 2:34
I asked them to take look at my dog to see if they can do the surgery and at the end they have mentioned that they are not able to. I have provided them the images of the area but they call me after 7 hours and they said you need to pay $151 for no reason. They could do it without taking me in. I do not recommend this vet. I know my neighbours had some bad experience.
21 May 2022 0:34
Wonderful team! I don't have anything bad to say besides thank you for being so understanding when my cat passed away on me. Once again thank you so much.
09 May 2022 22:05
Useless! I called on a Friday for a weekend appointment, there was no availability (which is reasonable given the short notice). Receptionist tells me that because this is generally a walk-in period, they don't normally do this but she can book me in for 11: 30 on Monday. I show up Monday with my cat, woman at the front desk informs me I dont have an appointment booked but I can go grab a coffee and come back in 90 minutes. This receptionist was very pleasant while delivering the information but just zero accountability for their screw up. This place used to be great. Looks like its a new owner?

Would rate this place zero stars if I could. 0/10. Take your pet literally anywhere else.

Check out the yelp reviews. As I'm submitting this, they have a firm 2 star rating. My experience seems pretty standard.
03 May 2022 9:55
They took my call helped my dog out on the drop of a dime. Really friendly people would recommend
03 May 2022 4:50
Change your name. This company got bought out and the new owners clearly aren't making enough money as they removed the 24 hour emergency from here. If you can't afford to keep paying your staff, don't buy the business. Go buy yourself a corner store and accept you cant afford to keep a business open during its normal time.

I will tell EVERYONE to drive down the road to 4th St VCA. They are WAY more friendly there and actually care for your pet. It's not just another dollar like it is at McKnight. Stay far away from this place. New owners don't care about your animals, they just care about making money!
06 April 2022 12:12
Just switched services to here.
Reasonable wait times was main reason.
Took great attention to Koda and interest in his well being.
Koda was in his way to self healing and they recognized that and said stay the course without Meds, that is rare!
Very Pleased so far.
21 March 2022 13:30
Took My dog there earlier today they helped My dog made him feel comfortable. Nice environment. The people were nice to me and My and my pet.will return again
21 March 2022 2:12
We drove from Airdrie to Calgary with our bleeding cat and they turned us away. Will never go back.
18 March 2022 20:05
Thank you for everything you’ve done for Nes. I was truly impressed with your knowledge and your patient care. Great doctors with the great team. ️
01 March 2022 11:15
Our boy Cat had an infected fang that needed to be pulled. They were very upfront about the cost and took great care of him. The vet answered all of my questions and was very friendly. We were very pleased with the care Cat got. Thank you to all of the staff!
23 February 2022 19:46
Brought my rabbit in after he got a scratch near his eye from a fight with my other rabbit. They got him in right away and luckily it wasn’t anything serious. Everyone I dealt with was absolutely amazing and they didn’t charge me for quickly checking the scratch. I’m so grateful and would highly recommend this place.
16 January 2022 12:12
24h? Hahaha. Last appointment at 3: 30 and no evening hours ever does not a 24h vet make! And not allowing the owner to come in due to 18 months long renovations? I bet you thought I was going to say due to covid but no. Due to renovations! So I guess if you are a pet owner who works, don’t bother with this place.
01 January 2022 9:34
Reading the reviews initially I had some apprehension about taking my baby to this clinic, however the service that was provided to us was exceptional!

They got her in and triaged almost immediately, which I understand can vary in times depending on the demand of an emergency service. Dr Abby was very patient and transparent with each cost, and thoroughly justified each measure. Nurse Amanda also took her time to explain post care instructions, and the front desk staff was courteous on the phone as well as in person. I am very happy with the care we received here!

Earlier today I had Nugget visit a vet with near 5* overall review and the amount of information we received from them was disappointing at best compared to the findings from a comparable intake examination here. She came home happy and purring, which was a huge difference versus when I brought her in. Thank you Dr Abby and team!
25 December 2021 18:56
It's not 24 hours like its name suggests. Also they didn't have a Dr when I went there for an emergency.
20 December 2021 2:26
The staff are wonderful choosing to ignore my simmering temper lol. This pandemic is hitting everybody and they are coping as well as they can given the shortage of docs. They took wonderful care of my Memphis.
15 December 2021 3:17
The staff was very professional and got our seniordog Max in to see the Vet when he was having trouble walking. Tests were done and results were given promptly. The Vet was very thorough and we were pleased with everything that was done. Thank you!
26 November 2021 9:22
Since moving to the area a few years ago, McKnight Vet has become my dog's home vet. I don't have enough words to explain how wonderful of an addition they've been in my "lemon" dog's life. My dog has suffered from severe allergies most of his life. McKnight Vet was with us trying to figure out the best treatment for my old boy (he is 11). We recently switched him to Cytopoint, which has been amazing for him. Dr. Harris really went above and beyond for us when it came to his allergies. She was so informative and compassionate. Recently, I noticed that he was not receiving consistent dosages of Cytopoint though, which caused him to become distressed with a lot of discomfort. I contacted McKnight, and right away they looked into his file and determined that he wasn't receiving the proper dosages (too little). They immediately rectified the situation, and although I wasn't impressed that his dosages were not being given in a consistent manner, what they did do to rectify the problem greatly satisfied me and my doggo will be very happy. I love this vet, it's one of the only ones I have found to really truly care about their patients. Thank you to everyone at McKnight Vet <3 (my review would have been 5 stars if not for the dosage mix up =P)
20 November 2021 18:30
Worst customer service. Don’t believe the first come first serve walk in system. I take my dog after a week of calling to know when is the best time to come for his vaccines. Every time i called before leaving, i had been told the next day or the following. Finally i was okayed for Friday and asked permission from work. Friday morning i called to ask again before leaving and told to come at 10. I went at ten and filled out a form and had been advised there are five people ahead of me and asked to wait in the car. At 12: 15 i called to check where i am at the queue, i had been told there are six people ahead of me. It completely did not make sense to me and i had been repeatedly asking how is that making sense and i had been repeatedly told by more than one person the same thing. I wasted my whole morning waiting in front of the clinic to know that the number of people ahead of you would be increasing not decreasing. Finally i had to call different clinic and they gave appointment right away in the same day.

I will never try to chase them to get a treatment and waste my valuable time when they send people to see vet by their choice.

Btw i had been going for last nine years only because they open 24 hours and Dr Skinner was being always professional vet. Now I understand that he is no longer working at the clinic.
18 November 2021 11:27
I cannot say enough good things about this vet and their staff. I have been here several times for all sorts of issues with my animals and whether they are giving great news or bad, the staff are always incredibly kind, compassionate and understanding. They took the best care of my kitten who passed yesterday and were so patient with us despite our inconsolability. Thank you so much for everything you do and for taking the best care of my Simon kitty in the end.

My experience with Dr Remedios has been nothing short of phenomenal over the years. She has worked with me on a personal level (doing spinal surgery on my Dachshund with IVDD) and by providing exceptional care to all of my major medical foster animals through AARCS (providing surgical intervention for various orthopedic or soft tissue injuries in my fosters). I know that all of the staff at Mcknight Vet Hospital truly care about my personal pets and my foster pets. They treat us with the upmost dignity and respect and I trust them with my pets (owned or foster's) care. I highly recommend this team of experts for all of your pet’s needs, especially any specialized care by Dr Remedios.

Where would the animal rescue community be without the very intelligent, talented, caring Veterinarian like Dr. Remedios? I cannot even imagine a world where she is not helping underprivileged rescue animals. She is not only passionate for the welfare of the animals that come to her for help, but she genuinely cares about the owners too. She is one of the most selfless, compassionate, reasonable and honest veterinarians that I have ever had the privilege of knowing and working with. Dr Remedios is an absolute blessing in Veterinary Medicine. I cannot say enough positive things about her and her magnificent team.

My cat was taken in by my mother while I was out of town. He underwent a procedure for a urinary tract blockage. I experienced the following issues with the clinic:

1. They wanted a payment of effectively the full amount of the procedure (I.e. They wanted the full amount of the lower estimate) before they would initiate a life saving procedure. Additionally, I was spoken down to in telling me that it isn't clinic policy to even consider a payment option or a smaller down payment. The down payment was $1,000 or consider euthanizing cat if that wasn't financially feasible.

2. In dealing with organizing my cat's pick up by my mother, the clinic did not call her at all. After several hours, I called back to find out that according to their automated message, they were closed. I had to call another clinic to find my missing cat.

Overall, I just ask for communication.
06 November 2021 4:42
This is by far the best place to bring your animals. I brought my dog to another vet 4 times they couldn't find what was wrong. I brought her here one visit they found out they took the time to find what was wrong now she is well on her way to recovery thanks to the team here. Love this place and the team they are fantastic and a special thanks to Dr. Vanessa
31 October 2021 18:29
I would rate this place zero stars if I could. Absolutely horrible experience. Staff are inconsiderate and harsh toward sensitive situations that people are dealing with regarding there pets. Dr. Ramedios basically tried to blame me stating that I caused trauma to my pet which is what resulted in his injury. What right does she have to make accusations like these? Why would I purposely injure my pet and then bring him to a clinic to be treated. When I asked her specific questions all her answers were I don't know and then she got frustrated and basically told me that she doesn't know and needs to go. Wait, so I paid $200 for someone to tell me they don't know? Absolutely appalled at her lack of proffesionalism. PLEASE PLEASE TAKE YOUR PET ELSEWHERE. Waste of money, waste of time. Go somewhere that they are actually caring and understanding towards your situation.
11 October 2021 3:58
We’ve had a couple emergencies where we’ve taken our dog here, and also a knee surgery. The staff have been very caring and attentive with us and our pup. They always explain everything so well and kept us very informed. It’s true, the wait times are crazy now, to the point where it’s difficult to even reach anyone. That’s very frustrating, but we have to keep in mind that they are extremely understaffed and overworked. As frustrated as I am, I can’t imagine how they must feel now trying desperstely to keep up with an inundation of demand. While the current situation is not ideal, I actually want to thank them for how much they are accomplishing to keep our pets in good health.
29 September 2021 22:57
McKnight Vet is second to none and in particular Dr. Remedios has been an absolute Godsend to my Jada girl. Truly. I'd give 10 stars if I could! Anyone who says bad things about this place or Dr. Remedios has misunderstood something.
Dr. Remedios has been giving my Jada incredible care and support for almost two years, and much of it an email away for free! Incredible what she has done for us. I am so grateful.
I took my sweet 14 yr old with a 4 pound tumor on her leg to Dr. Remedios after a referral from another Vet clinic (that says something right there) and she did a truly amazing job with the surgery, the after care and every old dog issue imaginable since.
No one cares more about our fur babies than Dr. Remedios! Thank you, thank you, thank you for all you have done for Jada and I.
11 August 2021 12:12
Prince had been going to McKnight since we brought him home in 2019. McKnight has always taken good care of our Prince and communicated there findings. Their action plan are well thought out and explained to give owners the best option.
06 August 2021 1:47
Pre pandemic, I recommended McKnight vet to everyone who asked, they were empathetic and happy to help, Now, nope, cold, rude, money grabbers now, and that's if they answer your call. Have spent 6 hours on hold in the last 24 hours and have still not spoken with anyone. Made the mistake of telling my neighbor to go there when his Dog had an emergency, they made him sit in the parking lot for 4 hours, he finally left and drove to okotoks, the pup barely made it, another 30 min and it would have been too late. Do not take your creatures here, they simply do not care.
The I'm sorry/excuses replies here from McKnight vet are hollow and lacking any concern
06 May 2021 11:12
The staff and doctors at McKnight 24 Hour Veterinary Hospital are always very welcoming, caring and knowledgeable. Thank you for always looking after Kiwi.
25 April 2021 2:07
Changed my review! Took my kitty here. Long story short she had a herpes outbreak. 2 weeks on the same eye meds and my girl required emergency surgery to save Both her Eye's
05 April 2021 3:21
I recently took my dog Olli with a tense hard tummy, the doctor on duty said my dog likely had pancreatitis, one of his treatment options was admitting my dog overnight to hospital. They apparently did x rays. They recommended to schedule an ultrasound, the next day my regular vet clinic was open (Sunridge Veterinary), so my vet asked to reevaluate my dog before doing any ultrasound, he right away noticed something with his back, ran x rays and found out my dog had slipped a disc. He explained to me that a tense tummy is a sign of back issues and that pancreatitis was not likely as he didn't show other symptoms. I asked him to run test for pancreatitis just in case and they came normal.
I don't think it's fair that McKnight was paid for giving me a wrong diagnosis, the least they could do is refund me the money. Insurance didn't cover it, I can only imagine how much bigger the bill would have been, if I had let them admit my dog overnight and my poor dog would have endured wrong treatment!
I will obviously won't use their services again, neither reccomend them.
On the bright side, the blonde lady at the front was super sweet and very helpful, she answered all my questions in regards food.
03 April 2021 1:23
First dog I've ever had to have put down. She with me all of her 14.5 years. They were very compassionate and to my surprise they mailed me a card signed by the staff with a bunch of her paw prints made me have a good cry.absolutely amazing
31 March 2021 18:18
About a month ago, we had to take our very sick cat to this clinic for emergency care (he had already been very sick) when he took a very bad turn for the worst - Unfortunately, he had reached a point where nothing could save him without leaving him suffering so we chose to say goodbye to him that night. It was incredibly upsetting to us, as he was our best little buddy, but the staff were compassionate with us and gave us as much time as the could to let us say goodbye without having him suffer and let us stay with him as long as we needed afterwards. One young man even came in and stayed with him when we were ready to go home so that we didn't feel like we were leaving him alone. It was a small gesture, but in that moment, it meant the world to us.
The service we received was exceptional. On the worst night of our lives, we felt like our sweet boy was important to them too. And for that, we thank you
31 March 2021 15:54
Recently had to put my 18 year old fur baby down and the staff were amazing and empathetic during the whole process.
I really appreciate them being available 24hrs and doing what they can to help animals in need anytime! I'm pretty sure that there's some personal sacrifice that comes with working at a 24hr clinic so thank you for all that you do and keep up the great work!
26 March 2021 1:34
Friendly, knowledgeable and courteous staff. Would definitely recommend this clinic to anyone looking for top notch care for their pets. Thank you!
29 June 2019 2:52
I found the night emergency staff unpleasant and difficult to deal with. I’ve driven past ever since in emergency situations. To be fair, my very limited experience with the daytime staff was more positive and perhaps they are great. Just don’t go at night.
17 June 2019 1:06
I had to say goodbye to my buddy Chester on the morning of the 6th April. The staff were very empathetic to our situation. It was extremely hard to comprehend and deal with having to euthanize Chester, but the team there helped and supported us extremely well. A dog's life is way too short and a human life is way too long.
14 June 2019 20:01
The staff at the clinic are so kind and helpful. My cat Sweet pea was ill with urinary tract issues; they took the time to find what was causing them. She is happy and healthy now! Highly recommend them
04 June 2019 14:52
Yesterday was the first Veterinary visit at the McKnight Hospital & after this visit I will not be taking my pets anywhere else! Being that this is a pet hospital emergencies are given priority which is understandable. When I brought my cat in there was a lot of pet emergencies but I didn't have to wait long and what really surprised me was that when my cat was getting his check up Dr. Skinner did not rush the appointment at all! He took his time to check over my pet and answer all of my questions in detail! Dr. Skinner has been the only Veterinarian that has given me in depth information about my cats condition! This clinic is all about providing the best possible care for your animals! Dr. Skinner informed me about arising issues that will need to be taken care of later for my cat, giving me a heads up about the cost so it wouldn't be a surprise later on. This clinic is not after you money they truly care for animals and want to provide the best care for your pets! Thank you!

23 May 2019 23:54
I had never set foot in this clinic until the night came to say goodbye to our dear family friend, Farley.
Late on the a Friday night the staff could see it was difficult time for me. Everyone there was wonderful, simpathetic and compassionate. I would give them five stars for that alone.
But what heppend next is truly amazing.about 10 days after we said goodbye to Farley, we received a card in the mail expressing their condolences.
What is absolutly astounding is that the several staff had taken the time to personalized hand written little notes inside the card and Farley's Paw print was stamped in the card as well. Thank you for turning a difficult time into something so impactful and meaningful! Truely next level and our family thanks you for helping us remember him during our wonderful 14 years with our friend Farley.
09 May 2019 12:59
Never take your pet to this place EVER they told me my cat would die the night I brought it if it didn't stay over night they just wanted to take 1200 dollars from me it's been 5 days since we were there and my cat is doing completely fine now they are just a money grabbing business will say whatever they can to take your money THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR PET
08 May 2019 16:06
I had to say goodbye to my fur baby of 15 years. Ashley was extremely kind and compassionate. They went above and beyond in helping me through having to put my cat down. They gave me the time I needed to say goodbye and were very caring through the whole ordeal. Amazing staff and service provided here.
08 May 2019 13:21
THIS PLACE ONLY CARES ABOUR MONEY! THE STAFF ARE NOT TRAINED! "DR" PATRICIA GUAJARDO DOESN'TKNOW WHAT SHE IS DOING - she actually started GOOGLING for answers and READ her freaking textbook WHEN I BROUGHT MY PET IN AND MY LITTLE GUY LATER DIED THAT NIGHT BECAUSE SHE SEND US HOME WITH A FOOD PACKAGE AND NO OTHER INFORMATION ON HOW TO CARE FOR HIM - DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE - MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT GET **** PATRICIA GUAJARDO **** BECAUSE SHE WILL HURT OR KILL YOUR PET - Others have had these issues as well! Read some comments below! Review by -Morgan Messenger- had this issue with her as well!

I took my little girl in on Sunday, I am a full time student with limited income. Which has no bearing on my ability to care for my animals. Any how, after having bloodwork done I was told my girl has diabetes, along with liver and thyroid issues. My low end estimate was over 4000.00 and high end 6500.00 alternatively if I could not afford treatment with in the next 12 to 24 hours I had to put her down. It was implied by the vet that I had no choice, and if I did not treat her I was a bad pet owner. I brought her home without treatment with the internet to take her back later that day once our goodbyes were done. After feeling bullied into accepting killing my girl was the only option, I reached out to friends and was told to get a second oppinion. The next day I took my girl to another vet, and yes she is diabetic. She will be coming home almost as good as new AND ALIVE with the cost of treatment being 470.00 not the 4300.00 McKnight wanted or alternatively in the little ceramic urn. The second oppinion vet has said nothing about her liver or the thyroid like McKnight, and I provided copies of the original bloodwork report so they could see what the starting levels were. If YOU LOVE YOUR FUR BABY dont go here, or in the alternative get a second oppinion before bullied into euthanasia. My girl will now live a long happy life with insulin rather then in a urn if I would have taken the advice of professional I'm counting on to help out in time of on emotional crisis.

Excellent happy helpful vets, techs, staff. Always answer all of my questions. Price range is conducive with calgary ~ vets are expensive in this city. Really great care here. Highly recommend.

These guys are amazing they were so kind so helpful. I have had to bring two of our dogs there on separate occasions and they have been absolutely amazing. I can not recommend them enough. I have been to other vets and was sorely disappointed. Not with the great great staff at mknight they r the best!

Took our Hedgehog hog in.when we were afraid that we wouldn't be able to afford the procedures they needed they offer for us to surrender her to them so that they could save our little hedgehogs life. We end up being able to pay for the procedure that would have needed thank God. But they went way and above any veterinary clinic that I've ever been with. Would highly recommend this veterinary clinic to anyone

Our dog was having digestive issues (you can imagine what that is) and took him one evening. Staff was very energetic and kind to our dog. He’s still a puppy, so can be a lot to handle but they did a great job and were very patient with him.

A few years back I took my 2 dogs to this office about a few minor issues we had concerns with. The vet we say didnt want to treat those issues and continued to go on and on about how obese my dogs were. They were slightly chubby NOT obese in the slightest. Bullied me into giving them an extremely restrictive diet. They lost far too much weight far too quickly. My one dog was skin and bones. You could see every single one of his ribs AND bone in his spine. Took him back because I was sure he was underweight. This vet was adament he was STILL obese. Extremely obese. I had to cut my dogs food back even more.

Went to another vet and they said my dogs were clinically underweight and malnourished. McKnight literally tried to bully me into killing/straving my pets. They also never dealt with my original issues. Please do not EVER take your pets here.

I can't stress enough how amazing every person I spoke with at this vet clinic was. I'd taken my sick cat to a closer emergency clinic first but they had treated me very poorly.
I'm so glad I decided to try another clinic, because not only were all the staff so much more empathetic and kind; the vet I spoke with was very understanding of my tight financial situation and broke down exactly what all the costs were and what my options looked like.
She checked with me at every step to make sure I understood exactly what she was doing and that I was okay with it. I left my boy overnight and they took such good care of him. I got frequent updates about his condition and when I picked him up they gave me all the medicine he'd need and good suggestions to help him recover.
Thanks to the staff there, my boy recovered perfectly and I didn't have to pay for an expensive surgery because they took care of him properly. Thank you so much.

McKnight's staff is nothing short of amazing. They truly care about the well being of your animal, we have had a few emergencies and needed to come here more often than we would of wanted. They saved my dogs life and I'm super thankful for that. Each visit after has been amazing, my dog loves the staff here and gets excited soon as he realizes where he is and I think they love my dog just as much as he loves them. The on call emergency vets here are even wonderful and very knowledgeable. This is by far my favorite vet in the city. Fair prices and great service.

I can't stress this any stronger. NEVER take your pet to this place! If i could give them zero stars, i would! The vet here basically killed my cat due to his lack of attention and concern about my cats well being. They kept her overnight, charged me $2100, just to tell me the next day I could come pick her up because she now "seemed fine". When I asked what was wrong with her, he answered, "we don't know.could be this, could be that". They sent me home with her looking worse than when she went in and gave me NO ANSWERS! 4 days later i'm having to put my cat down. That vet said (after looking at McKnights notes), "I don't like to point fingers, but if that vet has done his job, we wouldn't be here right now". Turns out it was her pancreas, which then led to liver issues. If he had done his job and sent me home with simple antibiotics to deal with her pancreas, i would still have my baby here today! I AM BEYOND ANGRY! If you care about your pet/family member, STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!

Update: I have no intention of contacting McKnight vets as they have suggested. What would it change? My baby is still gone! Plus, at least show me the courtesy of getting my name right!

I will say the staff are nice. But we felt rushed to make a decision. Being on disability we do not have a lot of money.
Was told 5000 tp 8000 for treatment or the second option was to put her down.
This was a horriable time as my bf was out of town. I felt preasured that I would be putting other cats at risk.but she already around other cats all the time anyways.
I was too sick to go and our friend had to take her. I wish now I had brought her home and then could have had her put to sleep at home with us instead of with strangers.
Ot perhaps given names of organizations that could have helped with paying for treatment.which would have bern my first choice befote death.
I did not have enough time to research her diagnosed to make mote of an informed decision.nor was I given the option for her to stay over night so I could have had a chance to do all of the above.
I did call back and finally learned that they did the test that i learned about later and at least confirmed her diagnoses. The lady was kind.
But now shes gone and I cannot undo it.
So if you are reading this.do not rush your decision and do not let anyone rush you.

I wouldn’t recommend this place, even if you try to call and make an appointment they’ll charge you an additional 25$ on the weekend just because. Tried to get my doggo looked at for a case of kennel cough, they wanted 95$“Instead of the regular 69$” just to look at him not including medicine.called spring bank pet resort and it came up to a total of 87$ with everything.so unless it’s an absolute emergency avoid this place.
