OUR SERVICES
WELLNESS
At Mountain Vet Care, our compassionate and dedicated staff's utmost priority is to support your beloved pet in attaining optimal health throughout their entire life journey. We understand the deep bond you share with your furry companion, and we are here to provide gentle care and our expertise. Our team is well-informed, and ready to guide you every step of the way in ensuring your pet's well-being. Trust us to be your reliable partners in safeguarding the health and happiness of your cherished pet.
DENTAL
At our facility, we take great pride in having state-of-the-art equipment specifically designed to address and treat your beloved pet's dental needs with care and precision. We genuinely understand the significance of oral health for pets, as it plays a vital role in their overall well-being. Therefore, we emphasize the importance of preventive measures to ensure your pet's dental health remains in optimal condition.
SURGERY
At our practice, we are proud to offer surgical services that utilize the latest state-of-the-art equipment, ensuring the highest level of care for your beloved pet. Our team understands that undergoing surgery can be a stressful experience, which is why we prioritize your pet's comfort above all else. Whether it's a routine procedure (such as spays, neuters or lump removals) or a more complex surgery (such as orthopaedic, intestinal, or other more complex procedure), rest assured that our dedicated staff will approach it with sensitivity, ensuring your pet receives the best possible care throughout the entire process. Your pet's well-being is our primary concern.
X-RAYS
In situations where a more comprehensive diagnosis is needed, our clinic is equipped with the finest tools to accurately assess and diagnose sick or injured animals. Our X-Ray services are invaluable in providing the additional insights and answers that may be necessary. Trust us to go above and beyond in providing your beloved pet with the thorough and accurate diagnosis they deserve, because their well-being is our main priority.
ULTRASOUNDS
Mountain Vet Care also provides Ultrasounds for (and not limited to) full abdominal and cardiac studies. Ultrasound scanning and interpretation are skill based diagnostics and so not only have we invested significantly in equipment but also in extensive training and experience. Far from having to be rudimentary, ultrasound in the right hands is often the most effective way to reach a diagnosis and create an effective plan for many patients. This distinction means that we can accept referrals as well for many cases requiring ultrasound.
LABRATORY
At our clinic, we understand the importance of timely and accurate diagnostic testing for your beloved pet. To ensure swift and precise results, we offer both in-house testing and collaborate with an external laboratory. This comprehensive approach allows us to swiftly obtain the information needed to provide the best possible care for your furry friend. We recognize the concern and worry that can come with waiting for test results, which is why we are committed to delivering prompt and reliable outcomes.
EMERGENCY SERVICES
We understand that pet emergencies can be distressing for both you and your beloved companion. During these unforeseen moments, we want you to find solace in knowing that our compassionate emergency services are readily available to provide exceptional care for your pet. We are committed to being there when you need us the most, offering the necessary expertise, support, and prompt attention to address any emergency. Your pet's well-being is our heartfelt concern, and we are here to offer the utmost compassion and dedicated care during these challenging times.
END OF LIFE CARE
We understand that saying goodbye to a cherished pet is an incredibly difficult experience. During this tender moment, our goal is to provide a compassionate and supportive environment, making the transition as comfortable and stress-free as possible for both you and your beloved furry companion. We empathize with the deep bond you share and the emotions you may be experiencing. Our dedicated team is here to offer gentle care, understanding, and heartfelt support throughout this difficult process. We are committed to ensuring that your pet's final moments are filled with love, comfort, and dignity.

What Our Happy Clients Say
Dr. Nathan is amazing. Our dog is so happy to see him. And he comes to your home. You can see how much he and his team care. So glad we found him. Stress-less care for your pet. I wish my own doctor made house calls! I’m jealous of my dog’s health care.
Hams
While we were traveling in our RV through the beautiful Canadian Rockies, our dog Whiskey needed urgent medical attention. Dr. Bernadet and staff accommodated us right away, which was such a relief. He and his staff were thorough, knowledgeable and compassionate. They stabilized our sweet pup so we could travel home. We will be forever grateful.

I cannot thank them enough!!!
