They walked us through the most difficult week. Our dog went from great to terrible in lightning speed. Dianne and her team were so kind and sweet to our boy. They were clear and honest but not harsh. I can’t say enough about how lovely these people were to both us and our Winnie. Thank you so so much for all the love. We have felt very cared for. ♥️

I will die on this hill; Dianne and her team are the most compassionate and kind people I have had the pleasure of interacting with! My elder childhood dog had gone through a few pushy vets that wanted to spay her at 15yo. I had enough and decided to look outside of Calgary for another vet. I DO NOT regret that decision. Dianne and the team were very respectful of my choice and very patient and caring through to the end of my dogs life. I since have gotten a new kitten and there was no doubt in my mind to take her back to Animal Care centre. The drive to Okotoks from Calgary is nothing for the peace of mind I have leaving my babies in their care. 1000/10 would recommend 💛

They certainly live up to the "Care" in their name. The thoughtfulness and attention we received from the staff of the Okotoks Animal Care Centre was greatly appreciated. Our 2-year-old golden retriever, Meeko, was treated for cancer, and was made as comfortable as possible through the whole ordeal. I can't say enough thanks for how Meeko's suffering, and our own, was made more tolerable through the efforts of the professional staff at the Centre. Thanks so much.

We enjoyed the work and service provide by Diane and her team both in the front and in the back. For the last 14 years we had been taking our cat Salt for his regular checks, has Salt grew older bigger issues arose. Diane explained everything to us so we understood what was going on. When it finally came time to say goodbye to Salt. Diane and her team show compassion to us, never once during our time to say good bye did any of them tried to rush us. If or when we decide to get another cat, we will be take it to Diane and her team. Thanks

I have really enjoyed the service of Diane and her team. We had been being our cocker spaniel to her for six years and no matter the issue big or small they were always understanding of our needs. When the time came up for our girl they showed true compassion and true tears with us and for us. We have now gotten a new girl and I wouldn’t bring her to another place. Diane is an exceptional vet and truly caring for our furry friends.
