Edmonton Holistic Veterinary Clinic

The staff and doctors are quite capable at this clinic and the office is very clean. I enjoyed my time at the Vet clinic.

I had an appointment at 9AM… was greeted by 3 very rude staff… sat in a room for 15 minutes waiting to see a Vet while my dog hyperventilates because she is scared… while listening to the immature receptionists gossip about their personal life and carry on like children. I then left and asked how long the doctor would be… the blonde receptionist shakes her head and says he shouldn’t be too long in a lofty tone of voice. I left… for the rate you people charge can you not find professional compassionate staff to work at your front desk? Horrible business

This is my regular vet. It is a little more expensive and it took a bit to get used to the difference in price. I do believe it is worth it. My pets usually get some accupuncture and lots of liver treats. They are not one for pushing titres and rabies every year which I don’t think is necessary.
They will often prescribe herbal remedies which are covered by my pet insurance, so you know it is a proven alternative. Most have worked as expected. I plan to continue using them as my primary care place.

I went to this vet for a second opinion on my dog’s stomach issues. She’s been vomiting blood off and on for about six months. Karen was amazing. My dog is incredibly timid and afraid of people, and Karen sat down with us on the couch and fed my dog little bits of liver treats.
The fact that my dog even took treats from her was shocking! She performed some acupuncture on her as well and my dog actually relaxed and laid down. At a vet clinic! Very shocking, too.
Karen prescribed my dog a chinese herb for stomach ulcers and I saw very good results over the few months she’s been on them. She is still having issues and has vomited a couple more times in the last month, but she’s doing better than before.
I only took off the one star because it is quite expensive… They do do more for your pet than any other vet would do (acupuncture, sitting and talking with you for an hour and really listening, etc.) so I think it’s worth it, but I don’t think I would make it my «normal» vet, because of the price. I will definitely take my dog here for specific problems that need better help though!

Well, I was really interested in bringing my pets there, but the receptionist was so rude and short winded, it was like i purposely called her to annoy her. I called on a Tuesday so maybe if you call on a Thursday it would be someone different! Hopefully! Good luck. Brutal

Was referred to Edmonton holistic when my oldest cat got sick after her companion of 18 years passed away a few days earlier. Their comfort and care during the last 7 weeks of her life is something I’ve eternally grateful for.
After the many weeks of alternative pet care including herbal formulas as well as traditional methods and the use of acupuncture, my best friend of 19 years was put down. She simply did not want to be a lone cat of the house any longer.
the last moments were quite well handled. We were led into a room that had been lovingly prepared, lit with a candle and aromatherapy. We were allowed to settle in and then have as much time as we wanted after the end of life procedure. We were not rushed and I felt like I could spend as much time as I wanted after she was gone.
I really appreciated that.
I realize I’ve said nearly nothing about their actual care, but just how we experienced the last moment but if I can relay to you their caring and understanding, then I hope I’ve done that.
I never really knew there were holistic animal care options with my first cat, and I’ll do whatever I can share this business and these people with whomever i can.

I love the Holistic Vet Clinic. The staff is so friendly and Dr. Marshall is great. My cats love going to the vet. The ladies just love them and treat them as if they were their own. They use accupunture to determine what is going in with my cats and I have to say my big cat loves accupuncture– he turns to pudding in your hands. The herbal medications are really reasonably priced. The initial visit cost is a little steep, but worth it. I am happy to know what is going on with my cats instead of putting them on medications for no reason (that’s what my old vet did).
I also have to say that I think that it is really kind of them to call a month or two after my appointment to see how the cats are doing.
I went to this vet clinic because my friend recommended it after her cat went (she got a second opinion because her vet wanted to put the cat down, the holistic vet found out she had heart worms, gave her meds and here she is 6 years later a happy and healthy cat). I have recommended this place to all my friends with animals. Love this place! It’s so relaxing for my cats and seems like a fun treat for them to go.
