  Less than a year later he did. An 11 year old Chihuahua was suffering from extreme pulmonary edema until he wretched so hard something ruptured and he hemorrhaged internally until he drowned in blood. A painful and traumatic death my wife watched before attempting CPR; because of a veterinarian who seems to prefer big dogs. If the average life span of a Chihuahua is 15-20 years, how do you think we feel about the Lacombe Veterinary Center today?

  When we took our two dogs in for their checkups we had concerns about our Chihuahua's teeth because we could see and smell the decay. We thought they should be cleaned but the vet brushed it off basically saying, "meh, he's fine" then went back to fawning over our big dog. He's a handsome devil yes, but don't stop doing your job because you apparently don't like little dogs. $400 is still $400 to the clinic for a dental cleaning is it not?

  Gizmo was a beautiful young cat who's life was taken far to early. This kitty had been several times over her short 5 year life the same complaint of throwing up was told over and over. Well this little girl was taken to Edmonton where a specialist seen her. She had a severe case of inflammatory bowel disease. And because it was left untreated for years and had become cancerous and she could not be saved. As she laid in my arms and took her last breath and her little heart stopped. I cried for her because this could of been avoided if this vet had done the job his owners expected and believed they were doing. Rest is piece my perfect little girl.

  Knowledgable, thorough, and compassionate care for all our pets over 15 plus years. Dr Cindy, Dr Pete and now Dr Jen have provided us with a comprehensive professional service allowing us and our pets a level of confidence and comfort no matter the circumstance. Rates are comparable

  I had no issues with this clinic or it's staff for many years. In fact I still don't. However, one veterinarian in particular's disinterest in my small dog led him to an extremely early grave.

  A year later we've moved and take him in to our new clinic for his check up. The vet immediately says his teeth are bad which can be an issue for most small dogs and he has advanced heart disease with a stage 4 murmur. This is causing his lungs to start filling with fluid. She continues by saying that there's no way it could have appeared and advanced that far in just one year but there's no mention of it in the file forwarded from Lacombe. With that, it's too risky to put him under to clean and pull teeth so all we can do is help his heart and clear his lungs with medication but it can only help for so long. He is going to die.
