Montgomery Village Veterinary Clinic

We used the mobile euthanasia service today for our suffering of cancer cat.Dr. Dekens arrived on time, was very kind and sympathetic and professional when explaining what and how will be done.It was very peaceful for us and for Alice to be in her own home in the surrounding of loving people.We would definitely recommend this service by Dr. Dekens

I have been a customer with Derk since 2002 when I had my first dog of 12 yrs put down in the comfort of his own bed and it was very peaceful. He carted the carcass off and made proper arrangements to dispose of it. He has been my main vet since and i was very happy with his service which I considered above and beyond. Now that he has a lot of overhead and staff to take care of, it seems that the personal side of things are gone and I can't even talk to him directly because I might ask for some advice that they can charge me for to take care of their now added expenses. The professionalism is still there so I will give it an extra star but I may as well go to a closer more convenient location to my home for there are other professional vets who are more than pleased to overcharge me like the majority of them in this city. Thanks for your years of service Derk and it's too bad I had to communicate with you through a Google rating.

I am not happy with this vet clinic at all. They were our vet for almost 2 yrs and when you need them bcs your dog is sick, they arent available. They wont take 10min to see your pet when is needed. Why have a vet if they cant see your pet when you need them 5-10min quick appointment can be squeezed in. Find another clinic.

I am currently riding the expected void, guilt and sadness that are a natural part of grief. However, because of this at-home veterinary service and support of the kind and modern thinking veterinarian, Dr Jazmeen Suleman, I do not have to carry any images of violence or struggle or my dog being alone in the last moments of her life. Because of this service, my mostly blind and, by then, very weak dog could be secure at home. She had a nice walk in the summer sun with her life-long dog and people companions before dying instead of a stressful car ride and scary and confusing vet office. She was surrounded by friends and love. It wasn't a happy day, but until a dog can communicate its dying wishes with us, it was as smooth as these things get.I originally chose Dekens Housecall /Montgomery Village Clinic because it was the fastest housecall appointment I was able to get in Calgary. I stayed with them because I was lucky to have Dr. Jazmeen as the veterinarian. Dr. Jazmeen is a calm, non-judgmental and adaptable veterinarian that helped me naviagate the difficult end of life months in a way that was suited to my dog and my situation. She focused on helping my dog do what she loved and listened to my thoughts that pain pills that cause stomach upset or sedate my dog were counter to life.Dr. Jazmeen was able to see me for a couple of at-home assessments over 6 weeks to take the time to counsel me and check on how my dog (and me) were managing while I was exhausted and wracked with guilt. The appointments were not rushed and she answered a lot of questions that helped me and my dog. She trusted me when I said what medications did and did not work for my dog. I felt heard and my dog improved on eating and drinking for while so we could have some great days where my struggling dog was able to have enough energy to run a bit and sleep comfortably after. It was a comfort to me that my dog was able to come to life and momentarily experience pure freedom and joy of movement. I cherish those bounces and happy sounds of her breath. Seeing her head up, tail up, and little paws reaching forward at the same time to spring into a run in the cool spring evening was something I had not seen in a long time.I was lucky that Dr. Jazmeen was able to come to my home the same day when it became urgent so my dog's death was timed in a way that was not too early or too late. Dr. Jazmeen and her lovely assistant were gentle and supportive of me and my dog in what is not an easy moment for anyone. After, I kept my dogs body and let my other dog (who has had her with him all his life) to see and process. And for her to lie there and feel her people talking while her brain signals faded. She was never alone. I am grateful to have had time with her body so my brain could see she wasn't moving or breathing or about to open her eyes and struggle to get up. For me to process in a slow, natural, peaceful way. Thank you. Dr. Jazmeen.

Great team, my dog is always happy to get here and the processes are centered around the animal. For example, vets getting down on their knees to the level of the dog rather than putting a dog on a metal table.

We had the best experience here. True animal lovers who took the time to talk about each of my concerns in detail. We felt seen, heard, and so well taken care of. I am so thrilled to have made the switch to Montgomery Village Vet.

Montgomery Village Veterinary Clinic is an excellent clinic. I highly recommend Dr. Susie Nadeau for Traditional Chinese Medicine (“TCM”) and regular western veterinary treatments. She has especially helped one of my dogs with TCM acupuncture and herbal treatments for his hypothyroid, allergies and, most recently, diabetes and pancreatitis. I also highly recommend Dr. Suleman, who did a surgery on one of my dogs to remove a mast cell tumour and a lipoma and has seen a few of my animals for treatments. Both vets have excellent knowledge, skills and insight and care about my animals. The vet techs and assistants are also great and caring towards my animals. I highly recommend this clinic.

I can’t say enough good things about this clinic. The staff is wonderful!! The receptionists are so kind and understanding, the nurses, vets everyone is just amazing to deal with. We haven’t had the pleasure of using Dr Dekens yet but when our boy was sick and he wasn’t available Dr Jazmeen was amazing with our boy. He had dental surgery today and doesn’t do well outside of our home, they were so understanding and patient dealing with our aggressive boy. He can be a lot to handle and everything went so much better than we expected. We have had very unpleasant experiences at past clinics. Highly recommend them as your veterinary clinic, we are so grateful we found them.!

Was totally taken advantage of ! Apparently blood in feces with rotten teeth on a 14 year old cat is not enough reason to have him euthanized without expensive and useless blood tests my experience here was not only traumatizing but utterly disheartening all they want is your money and have no sense of the word Humane you sent me away with a sick and in pain friend. I will never forget this and have filed a complaint with the alberta vet association you guys should be ashamed of yourselves.
