Marda Loop Veterinary Centre

I had been going here for years for vet care and food. Until my dog got sick and needed to be seen. Barb at the front desk denied me an appointment three times when i desperately needed my dog to be seen. She actually said «you’ll have to take him somewhere else». I did and he was in renal failure and had end stage lymphoma. Thanks Barb! We had to go though the most heart wrenching experience ever with strangers. And to the manager who thinks one profanity in a second email (he didn’t have the decency to respond to my first one) is more important than finding out what went wrong in our case i stand by my comment that got us deleted. He already died you idiot. What’s deleting him going to do? I do not recommend this place.

By far the best vet we have ever been to. We have owned pets for over twenty years and lived in many areas. During that time we had some wonderful vets that we thought we could never replace. After moving to Calgary this year we needed a new vet. Dr. Cathy was wonderful. She took great care of our very needy golden doodle and explained everything she did, read all of the old vet records, and took the time to get to know us and our dog.
If you are looking for a vet, definitely go to the Marda Loop Veterinary Centre. Fantastic service and very caring.

When I moved to Calgary this clinic was the only Veterinary’s Office in the city offering Alternative Medicine for animals. Since my cat was suffering from Eosinophilic Granuloma Complex and on a strict naturopathic diet, we started seeing Dr. Vockeroth.
13 years and a couple of pets later we continue to drive across the city to seek out Dr. Vockeroth. She is the epitome of what a Veterinarian should be, remarkable, kind, caring and compassionate. Although we only stop in once every year or two for checkups, we are grateful to have found this place. Our current little mountain lion descendants love it there to.
Marda Loop offers conventional, rehabilitative and alternative medicine options. It is very busy and you may find trying to get an appointment takes awhile. But it is worth it.

After going to a few terrible vets, this place was so refreshing! Its comfortable and the vets don’t just blame every problem on the raw diet! LOVE IT

Wonderful vets and vet techs. I took my golden retvr. to a number of differnent conventional vets and vet clinics looking for a solution to her itching and constant ear infections that didn’t involve daily antihistamines and steroids. Dr Vockeroth prescribed a home prepared diet, (instead of trying to sell me food stocked by the clinic like the other places,) some vitamin supplements, and some herbs. My dear dog is now healthy, happy and comfortable. These people are smart, compassionate, and able to think outside the box. The care here is worth every penny.

With 4 dogs and a number of foster dogs coming and going we are at the vets office more than I would like to be! All the vets are great, caring and compassionate. The vet techs and front desk staff are all wonderful. They run on time (I don’t think I’ve ever waited longer than a few minutes for an appointment) and always take the time to answer my questions.

Insanely expensive but non-​evasive and thorough. The staff, even the receptionists are great. Waiting for your appointment can make you a little nauseated hearing about rich-dog’s problems and the amount they’re paying for «elective» treatments. A dog was getting a «cranial adjustment» when I was waiting w L. Impressive and ridiculous at the same time.

My dog — many of you know and love him — has a chiropractor.
Yes, that is what I said.
We aren’t sure when Shep took a spill and slipped something in his back but he’s been stiff and sore for a few weeks. My friend, Dana, a vet tech, recommended Dr. Laura Romano at this centre. Dr. Laura had worked on Dana’s first Berner, Dekker, and his uncle, Jackson.
So, we already knew we were in good hands.
Dr. Laura doesn’t just do a great job in calming the animal, she talks a fretful owner through the entire procedure.
Shep has a slipped disc and Dr. Laura ever so gently worked it back into place as best she could.
Shep is sore — as we all are the day after an adjustment — so I have to keep an eye on his progress. We have a followup appointment next week.
The staff at the clinic are super nice and friendly, from answering the phone and giving a rundown of the treatment procedure to greeting us at the door and making a fuss over the gentlest, most handsome boy in the world.
The clinic itself is hard to get to. Fortunately, it’s right next door to Back and Body Health, one of the two locations of my new chiropractor and massage therapist. :-)
