Our Goal
At Whitecourt Veterinary Clinic, our healthcare team is dedicated to providing high
quality veterinary medicine and surgery in a caring manner to ensure the wellness and long
life of all pets in partnership with their owners. Our pets are part of our family, and we
treat your pets the way we would treat our own.
Our mission at Whitecourt Veterinary Clinic is achieved through:
- Preventative Medicine - including regular examinations,
and vaccinations, intestinal parasite prevention, flea control, dental care, and proper
nutrition.
- Diagnostic Capabilities - including a VetScan and ABC
Hematology Analyzer for in clinic laboratory blood work, an x-ray machine with auto
developer, a dental x-ray, direct opthalmascope, and utilization of outside pathology
laboratories for more extensive tests.
- Surgery - depending on the procedure and patient
condition, a variety of anesthetics are available for use. LASER surgery is used on site,
and surgical monitoring involves a doppler or pulse oximeter, and capnograph.
- Pharmacy - we have a wide variety of pharmaceuticals on
site in different strengths and sizes to accommodate all our furry loved ones no matter
what size they might be.
- Education - Client education is a necessity. A video
imaging system allows clients to see what the doctor is viewing. There are many handouts
and brochures available regarding conditions, diseases and treatments.
- Up to Date Technology - our own education, drugs and
equipment is constantly reviewed and compared with new advances and information available
to make every veterinary experience easier and more comfortable. On a regular basis, staff
attend educational seminars to ensure their techniques are current with new advances.
- Compassion - all staff sincerely care about pets and
feel privileged to be considered the "other family doctor" in many families. We
are committed to exceeding customer expectations and upholding our reputation for first
class customer service.
