Barlow Trail Animal Hospital - Calgary

I can't thank Dr. Dev at Barlow Trail Animal hospital enough- he saved my little girl's life and has continued to go over and above in ensuring her well being. While camping, my 13 year old pekingese fell down and was presenting stroke like symptoms. We took her to a vet in Red Deer who suggested she be euthanized. We decided to take her back to Calgary and book an appointment with Barlow Trail Animal Hospital to have her put down. Upon arriving, Dr. Dev examined her and offered a second opinion and put her on a course of treatment where she is thriving. I am not grateful enough for all of the kind and brilliant people at this animal hospital- they are all, from desk staff to assistants and vets, the best veterinary clinic I have encountered in my 30 years as a pet owner. I wholeheartedly recommend this clinic to anyone who loves their pet.

Dr. Dev and the front desk team are amazing! Our little guy Maurice was having some serious unexpected pain. Our regular vet was swamped and unable to see him for weeks so we called Barlow Trail Animal Hospital and they were able to see him almost right away. When the pain continued we would give them a call and they would make room for him in their schedule. When you don't know what's happening with your dog it can be very stressful, but Dr. Dev was great at following up and reaching out. We'll be monitoring Maurice closely, but feel comfortable returning when we need to. Highly recommend!

Dr Dev is a very nice man and was very kind with our dog. The one thing that bugged me though is from the minute he came in the room it was sell, sell, sell. So much so that it made us uncomfortable. The final price we paid for a checkup and shots was far more than we were quoted. We will not be returning but wish them well.

I am amazed with Dr. Dev and his staff. I had a horrible experience at another vet with my cat Roxy who is 12. Dr. Dev really took the time to sit and talk with me and to get Roxy comfortable with him(she hates most things in life) she didn't totally hate it here. She had been through surgery prior to this vet and it was traumatic to say the least . He was able to explain what happened why ect... I would recommend him and his staff to everyone. The girls at the desk were absolutely amazing as well as the technician. Going above and beyond. Thanks for restoring my beliefs in our veterinary services in Calgary . Not only taking time to sit with me , but also emailing to check that Roxy was still doing well and then calling me with the blood work results and walking me through them. The price was very fair. You can tell that they love the animals and their job.

I am so happy that I found this place. Pets are like people and don't like going to the doctor either. Dr. Dev and staff take care of my dog as if he was theirs. They discuss everything with me and make Duke feels comfortable when he is there. They follow up with me on his treatments to see if I have additional questions and how is Duke feeling. Dr. Dev is up on everything pet related and is continually learning to make sure you pet gets the best treatments possible. The staff are very professional, patient, friendly and caring. This clinic pretty much does everything, right down to trimming toenails. I highly recommend Barlow Trail Animal Hospital to take your beloved pet. When you leave the clinic you will know you got the best service from Dr. Dev and the staff.

I am so, so impressed with Dr Dev and the staff here. It was a relief to find a vet that really listens, and genuinely cares about my pets. The standard of care at this clinic is very high (higher than any other clinic I have been to!!), and it really makes me feel safe leaving my pets health in Dr Dev's hands. It started with a visit in regards to my sheltie's eyes. He had been to another vet who, after two visits, couldn't find anything wrong. Dr Dev, as a second opinion, took myself and my concerns very seriously (especially considering I am a young dog owner, which I have struggled with from other vets), started my dog on a few different kind of medications, and when it didn't work, got the ball rolling to see the eye specialist. They also answered my after hours emergency voicemail within a few hours which was amazing considering they were not open. His eyes are now healed up and Dr Dev is my go-to vet. He is an incredibly knowledgeable man, with a very kind touch and a soft heart. I appreciated that he took the time he needed to spend with my dogs and didn't make me feel like he was rushing to get me out the door. He seems very passionate about what he does and is the kind of vet I would follow from clinic to clinic. I hope that says something! Because I had such a good experience with my sheltie, he also performed a surgery on my littlest one and I am so happy they were the ones to do it. He was so kind about so many different things, from doing quality bloodwork (which he both printed out and emailed to me) to giving her comprehensive pain management and ensuring her incision was as small as possible for her comfort. She even got a little suit to wear to prevent her from irritating her incision. I am so grateful to have found a vet with whom I can actually form a doctor/client relationship with. I have referred my sister and her dogs there as well as bringing my other dog to see him. All the other kind reviews about Dr Dev is what made me come to this clinic and I am so glad that this was the one that I chose and I hope whoever is reading this review takes their fur babies to him too. It's worth it, I promise! Also, a kind shout out to the front desk ladies. They are so sweet and genuine. When I talk to them I get the vibes that this is the "right" place for me and my dogs to be. Thank you so much for everything you have done for my furbabies!

Hands down the best!!! Dr. K. took excellent care of my dog who experienced bad diarrhea and made him feel so much better in between hours. The entire staff is very compassionate, caring and loving. Thank you Barlow Trail Animal Hospital.

I had a fantastic experience at the Barlow Trail Animal Clinic! I was visiting from out of province and called when my kitty had some urinary problems. They got me in right away and the clinic staff were fantastic! Dr. Dev was very friendly and took lots of time to work through my kitties problem! He explained everything in detail and told me exact prices as we went. I even had a callback the next day to chat about progress. All the staff were helpful and friendly!
