How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Fish Creek Pet Hospital
Preventive care
Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.
Compare prescription pricing
Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.
Consider pet insurance

On the weekend, my family and I had to deal with an experience all pet owners know is coming, but dread with the heaviest of hearts. Our family dog, a 17 (few short months short of 18) year old puggle was showing the signs that something wasn't right. We brought him to Fish Creek Pet Hospital to have him looked at and the staff could not have been any more comforting, empathetic, understanding and just overall amazing. While the outcome was what we had dreaded, from the moment we arrived until we left with our empty dog bed the care from the staff made it a little easier and is something my family will always be thankful for.

I am surprised there are negative reviews. We have had three emergency visits (our regular vet was unavailable) and found Fish Creek Pet Hospital to be exceptional in every way. The building is clean and spacious. The staff is ample, courteous and professional. Thank you to all the staff that have treated us and our pets with the upmost respect.

Firstly, I'm very confused by any of the negative reviews as I've never felt so cared for at any clinic I've been to as I did at fish creek. Initially, we stopped at SAFE in okotoks and they were amazing! They triaged my dog and told me he was stable and they had a 6 hour wait but fish creek had only an hour wait... they charged me nothing and I left for fish creek where they were super friendly upon my arrival. Checked me in, had someone come triage Maui and give me time estimates. The vet was great and patient with me while I tried to work through my options for treating him and were very transparent about costs throughout without my inquiring about it... it's the worst when your furry baby is not well, I absolutely appreciate every person I encountered at both clinics! I even have myself wondering if they take regular patients haha

Took my cat Charlie in for the third time in 6 months and had a very positive experience, considering I was a worried mess. The staff was absolutely amazing and extremely kind, and the Veterinarian (I looked up the website and I’m very sure she was Dr. Natasha) was absolutely incredible. We have had a series and unfortunate events recently so this was just another crappy thing, but Dr. Natasha was amazing and someone you can genuinely tell adores animals and truly wants the best for our pets. Thank you so much, the kindness was very needed during these times ❤️

My beloved elderly cat had really gone downhill and we knew it was time. My vet had surgeries all day and wasn’t able to get us in and recommended we call Fish Creek. From the time I called they were so compassionate and professional. Took my information over the phone and said to come when worked best for us. When we arrived they brought us straight to a room, walked us through every step. Were able to accommodate keeping him with us for all the needed procedures so I was able to keep him calm and peaceful. After we had as much time as we needed and they were so helpful with getting us mementos as well. They took an awful day and made it a little less so- cannot speak highly enough.
