We live in Calgary but this is our go to vet and more than worth the short drive. When I've had to use other vets for quick drop ins, it always seems like I'm having unnecessary product pushed on me. At Big Rock, I definitely feel like my pets are in good hands. Read Less

Absolutely wonder staff. Starting from the phone call, greating me at the door, educating us on the situation with what was going on with our dog, answering all of question, and even picked up a bag of treats for the dog at the end of it because vet bill was extremely reasonable. Read Less

This is still the best veterinarian office I have come across. I drive from Calgary to see Dr Dain for my cat's treatment. I trust his knowledge and insight as to what's best for her and she always improves after our visit. He has done great things for her in figuring out what she needs and I'm so thankful. Read Less

Dr. Rick is engaging and straight forward when it comes to caring for our border collie.

Can't say enough about the quality of care at Big Rock! Dr. Rick is the ultimate professional, who treats all our pets as his own. Rick goes above and beyond each and every time we see him. Thank you Rick! Read Less

Dr Rick and his team are amazing. Our dog was ill for a long time, we went vet to vet trying to figure out what was wrong with him with no luck. We heard amazing things about Big Rock Animal clinic so we figured we would give them a shot. We trusted Dr Rick and his team and went thru numerous tests and specialists and found out what was wrong with our dog. He is doing amazing now and we are grateful that we now have a healthy dog. Thanks again Dr Rick and team. We are now customers for life! Read Less

Once again Dr. Rick and his staff were great, we were there for our annual check-up for our two dogs, one had a tooth that had broken off, so INSTEAD of giving us the usual scare tactic like other vets do in Calgary Dr. Rick just told us the truth. He told us what might occur in that area, what to watch out for and the timeline for healing. He doesn't push the need for shots that aren't needed every year, In my opinion he truly cares for the animal and not my wallet. I thank him for that. I will gladly travel to Okotoks from Calgary to visit, Big Rock Animal Clinic. Read Less

Big Rock Animal Clinic has looked after my Dakota for almost all his precious life. The staff there were always so helpful and tried their best to get him in at the earliest convenience. Dr. Rick was always so gentle with him and always patient and explained in detail what was wrong with my little guy. We just put Dakota down after 16 1/2 years being with us and we will miss him dearly. They were so understanding to our feelings and made sure Dakota was comfortable. We were able to sit with him for as long as we wanted. Thank You so much Dr. Rick and all the staff. We really appreciate all the care you gave our Dakota. Will look forward to seeing you all again when we feel we are ready to get another dog.Read Less

Dr. John Barlow is an outstanding vet. He has done surgery and health checks on my Pomeranians in the past. He performed fine dental work on my dog "Blueberry" yesterday. Included was a printout of before and after images which I liked. He has always been kind to my dogs and sensitive to my concerns. He accommodates my need to be with my dog for sedation. I truly appreciate this. I highly recommend Dr. Barlow and also this clinic. My bill was very reasonable. Oh yes, they have a big parking lot just for us...liked that too! Read Less

Dr. Rick and Dr. Dain are both awesome with our dogs. When one of our dogs came up lame Dr. Rick emailed me the x-rays and blood results and even emailed me on his day of to see how our dog was doing. Can't say enough good things about Big Rock and definitely recommend.Read Less

My personal experiences (and I've had many at big rock) have all been pleasant. From the care of my foster animals to the care of my personal pets Dr Rick and Dr Dain have been exceptional. Through the unknown ailments of my beloved boxers, to the excitement of a new puppy and the heart break of losing my sweet boxer Rocco, I'd like to thank you all for being there for us to turn to. Your care and compassion as been appreciated and does not go unnoticed. Also, April needs to be mentioned as she is an absolute delight! Thank you April.Read Less

We were out playing ball by Okotoks when my pup ripped her quick. I went into town to the clinic and the front staff was amazingly helpful and instantly got me the quick-stop. They also knew I was out playing ball so they supplied me with some extra gauze and vet wrap. Amazing people. Thanks so much! Read Less

I have used this clinic a few times now and am amazed by the thoroughness of the vets, and the friendliness of the staff! They took good care of my difficult cat Boxer today, who is a new cat now that his teeth are healthy! Thank you so much for treating him as your own!Read Less
