Scenic Acres Veterinary Clinic - Calgary

Going to the vets is no longer a daunting experience for our dogs. The team here are truly passionate, caring and really get to know their patients & families and this is certainly no conveyer belt service like some of the bigger practices. Thank you Dr. Marion, Terri-Lynn & Julia. We would have no hesitation recommending Scenic Acres Veterinary Practice.

I will get straight to the point…. Dr. Marian Forrester and her team at Scenic Acres Veterinary Clinic are the best vets in the whole of Calgary!! They are AMAZING!! They have taken care and looked after our cats since 2007 when we moved to Calgary! Even though I live nearby I would travel 1-2 hours if needed! I’m so thankful we found Marian - we would never go anywhere else! Marian and her team are friendly, trustworthy, compassionate, kind and thorough but most of all they 100% care about each and every animal! Their level of service and knowledge is outstanding and they go above and beyond every time to make sure your pets are getting the right care, whether it is treatment, diet or overall health. I would definitely recommend Scenic Acres as the no.1 veterinary clinic to go to when caring for your pets! Check them out – you won’t regret it!

Where do I begin...if your looking for a place to take your beloved companion and want to feel confident that they will get the care they so deserve. Then perhaps you should see for yourself how truly incredible Scenic Acres Vet Clinic is. They took the time for “us”. Something that just seems to lack in our world today. Can’t thank them enough for their kindness and patience. Our Beautiful Puppy Girl has had a rough go the first 18 months of her life thus far. Up until recently we had only been taking her to hospitals due to her difficulties. We had been looking for a small private practice for quite some time when a neighbour recommended this lovely place. The Clinics welcoming and calm environment was perfect for our precious Girl. By coming here we have at least helped our Girl with the anxieties of going to see the Doc. Something that was becoming a terrible stressor we absolutely needed to eliminate from her world. Basically Scenic Acres has fantastic service all round. Dr. Forester left maternity leave to come in for our first consult spending an hour and a half with us and examining our girl. The Dr. had our Pups file sent over prior to our apt. so she could go over it and she did. Our first experience had informative communication about our Pups conditions and their professional approach to future treatments. Dr. Forester was very knowledgeable and offered detail explanations and practical advice. Loved the conversation with her. Her experience showed and instilled confidence! She truly cares about each pet that walks through their doors. (To think she came in to see us having only had her baby weeks prior...) Having invested so much elsewhere with no answers to help our Girl. We are so grateful for their ethical practice and kind heart. Dr. Haakstadd took over our Pups case as Dr. Forester was still on maternity leave but she is simply amazing in every way as well, always welcoming and attentive on our visits. The two Ladies at the front desk and in the back multi tasking are just as pleasant. Each time we come in or call the staff is so welcoming and sweet, they always put a smile on our faces and handle our Girl with great care. It is clear this team is well trained by great leaders and have created a lovely culture. We are thankful for each of you, your patience, honesty and integrity is refreshing and appreciated. Thank you so much for taking care of our Girl and her parents for that matter, from the bottom of our hearts - we thank you!! You’re making such a difference in so many lives! ? They have all been a blessing. ?

Every member of my family has brought their pets to this clinic for at least the last 15 years. I have never had a negative experience with a single staff member here. They are friendly and compassionate and clearly care about the wellbeing of our animals and in my opinion are willing to go above and beyond to assist you in making sure your animal is receiving the correct treatment for their condition. One of our pets had a weird reaction to air fresheners and the vet actually took the time to come by and figure out exactly what it was he was allergic to. Then, years later, when another dog of ours developed a heart condition they let me stop by once a week to listen to her lungs and adjust her medications to ensure I had as much time left with her as possible. I have so many more examples of situations where the staff here have been fantastic but I’ll settle for just saying - you should bring your pets here, you’ll never regret it.

I have been going to this veterinary clinic for the last 8 years and I find everyone there to be excellent at their jobs. Marion the vet is delightful and very knowledgeable and will work within your means (as I am often on a tight budget, so I can't always do everything recommended). Both receptionists are very friendly and helpful. I often feel like I'm chatting with friends as they'll ask how my 2 cats are, as well as my baby and husband. Even when things are stressful with my cats (one gets sick often), they put me at ease and explain things well for me, as well as prioritize costs.

Dr. Forrester took excellent care of our little senior Pomeranian for the past 12 years, from the time we moved to Calgary to when he finally went to doggy heaven. The clinic was always so kind, compassionate, and knowledgeable - they were everything we could ask for in a vet team. We will miss the team now that our little guy is gone.

Our 13 year old Chocolate Lab has been going to Scenic Acres Vet Clinic since she was a puppy. Great people and great at explaining things in a way a layperson can understand. Earlier this week our Lab had been having bowel issues; I called at about 4:00 PM and they had Calypso in at 5:20! Great service, treatment is working well and she's back to normal THANK YOU!!! If you're looking for a great Vet Clinic, this is the one to choose!

I lived in Calgary for a year (during covid) to finish up my degree. My senior cat started struggling to eat and I searched for a local vet clinic based on reviews, and wow, I got lucky. Dr. Marian and the team helped me discern that her struggles eating were because she needed some fairly significant dental work - which I was nowhere near being able to afford. I came to be on a first-name basis with Terri-Lynn and Julia at the front desk before too many emails & phone-calls. They helped me find a way to avoid putting down my baby to keep her from being in constant pain, helped me find support to be able to cover the dental work that was needed and work within my budget. I don't think I'd still have my cat if not for their efforts and I'm thankful for it daily. I'm back home now, but if I could've, I would've moved this vet clinic home with me. Calgary, you're sure lucky to have these gems.
