This place is by far the best vet I’ve ever been to, the staff are unbelievably caring and knowledgeable. Updated us multiple times a day. If I could give more than five stars I would.
I needed to visit Canada West for two emergency visits recently. The later ended with my cat's necessary euthanasia. I am so impressed with ALL of the staff at Canada West, from the front of house to the back. They were all so patient and kind during a rough time for me.

This is really one of the best and sets the bar high. The staff are amazing, helpful and truly show genuine care and love for our pets
