My name is Amanda, I study theology, I'm going to leave the truest review that anyone could ever post. I was the owner of a wonderful dog named Bowser.He was my best friend. One day Bowser's eye began to swell before i found the sandy lane pet clinic i had brought him to a vet located in the castle downs area by the sobeys/Library.He flipped Bowser's lip up stating that it was his teeth, if I gave him $1000 He would pull them that moment. He was a very disconnected vet who was not interested in the well being and care of my dog, when i asked if i could pay in 2 payments he was rude, now with no eye contact because i stated i disnt have $1000 in that moment he left the room I told my mother that if this case that I would get it done but not with him. he then came in the room saying it was only an infection, & $300, speaking differently2my friend from his home country, he told him that my dog was old,his teeth were rotting. I took Bowser home&the antibiotic kept his eye at bay for a bit, i knew my dog ans i knew it was something else. He treatedbme awfully& would not talk looking at my face, this was the 3rd time I had went to him, his secretary stated that I should surrender my dog if i couldn't get the money. Ps bowsers eye was pertruding out of his.socket they didn't care. I then visited 3 other vets before Bowser was helped, I called 5others, I then prayed to God asking for help, I loved my dog and did not want to see him suffer, I. Work but did not have a lump sum of money to give that day, God is good& He hears the prayers of his children. I went to look online &left a message2 an animal organization called Alberta Helping Animals Society, I was called back immediately, they had put me in contact with the sandy lane pet clinic, the clinic Interns people at the front receptionist desk, giving the students a chance to learn, study&Represent their facility, there was one little girl who was just lovely& compassionate for Bowser and made sure that he was taken care of. Dr. Matthews was professional and compassionate, she came in & met Bowser, right away told us it wasn't his teeth then went on her knees to the floor to get a proper gage of how Bowser's heart & breathing were regulating she then gave me some medicine to Help get his swelling under control, I myself. Had taken. A turn for the worst & had an awful allergic reaction spanning over a month, I came to the clinic disfigured, Dr. Matthews was so worried for my family, she gave me more medicine for Bowser free of charge, gave me a hug and told me2drive home safely. I left a video showing Bowser's state&asked for immediate help, Bowser is a bigger dog weighing over 110 pounds, she was so considerate, when Bowser went for his. X-rays2relieve stress off of all of our hearts& letting me go in the room2help Bowser feel safe, when we received the heartbreaking news that he had brain& lung cancer,she truly consoled us& cared for Bowser's well being then sent Bowser's video& X-rays 2a specialist, she did not have to help my family in all of the ways that she did. I was not financially stable. She partnered with AHAS & made Bowser's care possible&Humane. People please remember some vets may seem a little closed in some ways&open in others, they must do so or they too would have a nervous breakdown daily, because the true vets who got into savings animals lives for pure Love carry a heavy burden, they carry the lives& trust of Helpless animals who depend on them in every way, they also carry the burdens, anxieties & stress of the parents too. The day of Bowser's passing Dr Matthews cried with us, consoling us, giving us as much time as we needed, she lit a candle to let others know that We were grieving. My mother and I. Wrote a note to the boys coming to receive Bowser's body for his cremation, they sent us a card to let us know that we were in their thoughts. I recommend this place with all of my Heart, they are truly a treasure, I would bring all of my animals here forever. Price wise they were fair too, i am honored to have found sandy lane, Thankyou🐶 Read Less
