17th Avenue Animal Hospital

We have a cat and a puppy. We’d tried other vets and hadn’t been happy with how we or our pets were treated. We saw the difference at 17^th ave animal hospital right away. Dr. Sean Evans is incredibly kind and knowledgeable. He explained everything to us and gave us all the options. We definitely felt like our animals were being treated like family. I can’t express how happy we’ve been here. This is definitely where we’ll be going from now on.

Dr Emily is really great. I have an old Boston terrier, and she takes everything into consideration — your pets age, history, special needs, your needs, and gives you reasonable expectations and full explanations. They are super friendly and compassionate. You can tell everyone in the office is an animal lover. The extended office hours are also convenient for fitting different schedules.

This veterinary clinic is great. They are also very friendly and knowledgeable. When I went out of town and needed my cats records, they were happy to a fax them to me.

We’ve been to several vet clinics over the years, and I can honestly say we’ve never met a vet as compassionate, honest and knowledgeable as Dr. Evans.
He and his team have provided exceptional care and advice for our cats and dog, and I can’t imagine going anywhere else. I would recommend them to everyone I know — if you want someone who doesn’t treat you and your pet like a number (but who actually remembers you from visit to visit), then this is the place to go in Calgary.

I had to bring my coughing kitty in to have her checked out and everyone was really great. I called and spoke to the front desk lady who was very sweet and got my cat in a couple hours later. When I came in the vet was very thorough and explained everything to me, writing things down and giving me a few courses of action. Although we couldn’t figure out the problem right away I still left with some possible solutions. The front desk girls were very nice and explained what would need to be done if it wasn’t resolved.
Two days later Dr. Sidhu (I think? He was a locum vet) called me to ask how my kitty was doing — so sweet! I called the office a few days later as well to ask a few more questions, and the girls were so helpful.
A couple weeks later I realized I needed to have them fill out a form to send away to my pet insurance company and the girls up front said they would handle to whole thing — reprinting my receipts, having the vet fill out the form, and faxing it to my insurance company for me. I was very impressed.
Shortly after, I had to bring my kitty BACK to the hospital as she was very sick again. Dr. Ames was AMAZING. She was extremely thorough and made us feel as though our girl was her number one priority. We absolutely loved her, she is our regular vet now for sure!
Thanks 17^th avenue pet hospital! :)

Dr. Evans is an amazing vet. Quick and precise diagnosis and takes the time to teach you the reasons behind the problems by showing you models and diagrams compared to your dog. Two surgeries so far and 100% success! Will continue to bring our dogs here as long as Dr. Evans is around!

Dr. Sean Evans was our vet for almost 2 years. We have only switched because we are now on the opposite end of the city.
Dr. Evans was always very good with our dog. He did 2 surgeries on our dog (cherry-​eye and neuter) and we never had any complications. Our appointments always went wonderful and I felt communicated to well. Although we have had a bad experience with another AVC clinic, this one never felt money-​hungry like their reputation.
I was never left waiting long for the appointment to start. At the end of each appointment they give a great summary of your dog’s health and the appointment including any care instructions and drug information. A great tool for tracking your pet’s health in your own files.
