We're pleased to offer the following services in our St. Albert Animal Clinic:
General Appointments
Our appointment book is computerized which allows us to efficiently make appointments for you and your pet. Our receptionists and team will attempt to accommodate all requests to the best of
our ability. Emergencies are accepted anytime our clinic is open. If you feel you have an emergency with your pet, please call us or come to the hospital immediately. If possible it is best
to call before coming in so that a staff member can advise you on your particular emergency.
We have a veterinarian and personnel on duty 5 days a week who are trained and equipped to handle any urgent care your pet has. Usually an emergency team consists of at least one veterinarian and several technicians working together to save a pet's life. Emergencies can be things such as your pet being hit by car, chocolate ingestion, etc. If you ever feel that your pet needs emergency treatment do not hesitate to call or come in immediately. If possible it is best to call before coming in so that a team member can advise you on your particular emergency.
We are also available for urgent care when the condition is not life-threatening, but you feel your pet needs to be seen as soon as possible. Our veterinarians and staff will work together so that your pets needs are met in a timely matter.
St. Albert Animal Clinic provides comprehensive preventive medicine to help ensure the health of your pet. From nutritional recommendations, rehabilitative medicine services, acupuncture, vaccinations, dental care and senior monitoring each pet has an individualized treatment plan that has been set up by you and your veterinarian.

We are pleased to offer onsite ultrasound appointments and services with Dr. Brooks.

All cardiac cases are sent to a board certified cardiologist for interpretation.
We are happy to offer any of our ultrasound services on an outpatient basis to referral partners - if your regular veterinarian has any questions or would like to refer a case, please ask them to contact our clinic and Dr. Brooks will be happy to discuss the diagnostic benefits or limitations for your individual case.
