VCA Canada Mills Haven Animal Hospital

Sherwood Park, Alberta
General Info
Based in Sherwood Park, Alberta, Mills Haven Veterinary Clinic was established by Bob and Elly Holowaychuk on March 1, 1977. For 24 years, the practice operated from the Mills Haven Shopping Centre. Upon outgrowing that location, we built our new facility at Chippewa and Baseline Road in 2001. Presently we are a team of 4 veterinarians, 6 animal health technologists, 6 receptionists, 2 dog groomers and a dog training instructor. Every year we also take pride in mentoring animal health technologist students and veterinary students.
Proudly we have been serving the community for 36 years and we are now serving third generation clientele - the ultimate compliment. We have always strived to work as a team and give complete care to our patients and their families. With state of the art equipment and a team of eager and compassionate staff, we continue to assist our clients in the best way possible. Just as our families have put many a smile on our faces, we strive to do the same.
It is indeed a pleasure to go to work every day. What a thrill it continues to be.

We are sorry to hear you were unhappy with your experience at our clinic. You are absolutely correct that we should have informed you that the Dr. was running behind and will discuss this with our staff so that this does not happen again. Thank you for bringing this to our attention and for entrusting us with your pets' care over the last 25 years. We would appreciate the opportunity to discuss your concerns and can be reached at 780-464-5755. We look forward to hearing from you.

I have been going to this clinic for approximately 10 years. I have always been very happy with the services received. Since the new ownership I have left this clinic for a competitor due to the increase in prices. Both of my old dogs need teeth cleaning and extractions. The quotes provided were almost triple the cost of what they had been about three years ago. I was quoted an estimate of between $1153 - $1441 for my poodle who only has 6 teeth left in her mouth. Even if all were extracted that is still a very high price. Some of this cost may be to cover the new on line birthday cards your pets receive and the time taken to take a photo of your animals for their profile. This photo appears on your paper work. If money isn't an issue you are fine since I found the care from the staff to still be as it was. Read Less

We are glad to hear that you have been happy with our services over the last 10 years and are sorry you felt you had to leave. Our prices reflect the high quality of care that our surgical patients receive with us. Each dental surgery patient has full pre-anesthetic labwork performed to ensure there are no underlying issues prior to surgery. During the procedure they are on IV fluids and are being carefully monitored by one of our Registered Veterinary Technologists. Full dental radiographs are performed which allows the veterinarian to assess the tooth below the gumline. The teeth are then ultrasonically cleaned and polished and if extractions are needed they are administered with local blocks for comfort. Patients also receive pain medication throughout the day and are usually sent home with medication to give as well. We do understand that this can be a big investment and we do offer payment plans through HealthSmart if needed. Thank you for your review and for trusting us over the last 10 years. Please feel free to contact us if you need anything in the future.

Utter negligence at this clinic. My brother's dog was not doing well for a few days, so he scheduled an appointment. His dog was so sick that she would no longer walk, and my brother had to carry her into the appointment. They ran some tests, gave her IV fluids, charged him $500 and said that she was fine, just bring her in for more fluids the following day. My brother had to carry her out of the appointment, and she wasn't doing any better. She died in my brothers arms in his house 2 hours after leaving their clinic. My brother will forever live with these horrible memories, watching her die, and having to carry her dead body around, driving to another clinic to have her cremated. He has to live with a sense of guilt that he should have done something more, but he trusted these people. Any person with eyes should know that his dog was not doing well, that he had to physically carry her out of the clinic. Saying she was fine and sending them on their way was straight up negligence.

This is not our regular vet and we will Not be returning. I brought my 13 year old lab here who was in medical distress and needed emergency help. He had an existing airway condition and I knew if it become closed off there was nothing that could be done. I rushed him into the closest vet as my vet is in the county. The veterinarian was lovely and kind. I was told I had to put him down immediately. He was give oxygen and then put down. When I went to pay they charged me $500. To me this was outrageous. When I called my regular vet they said the bill would of been around $300 or less. I spoke to Mills Haven and they had no explanation as to the high cost just it was because it was an emergency and that is there fees. I felt like I was taken advantage of in a very vulnerable heart breaking moment. I will never return. Read Less

During the spaying of my 6-month old pup, the vet in charge of her surgery opened the valve on the ventilator supplying her with oxygen, but neglected to turn on the exhaust valve. The resulting CO2 buildup caused my puppy to experience cardiac arrest. They revived her, and finished the procedure, but the long-lasting effects of the mistake on my dog are unknown, as the breed is prone to heart problems later in life. Will not return. Read Less

I cannot say how great this clinic is.  We had a 13 year old cocker spaniel that we took here for the 2 years were were in Fort Sask.  They are professional, caring, gentle, respectful, and thorough.  We were in many times as cockers have so many ear infections.  She was always treated lovingly.  We were never rushed.  There was always a call a couple of days later to see how Maggie was doing.  This is a very, very  caring place.  Unfortunately we had to say good bye a couple of weeks ago.  The entire staff has been fantastic, and sent a condolence letter after they found out.  Truly this is the place to take your animals.  They are treated with respect, love, concern as are the owners.  Thank you so very much Mills Haven.

My husband and his family had been taking their dog and cat to a vet here (Dr. Holowaychuk, the founder of the clinic) for years. When we moved in together 5 years ago, we started taking our cats here as well.We've seen three vets over the course of that time; the first one - who was excellent - moved away, the second one (Dr. Clarke), who we still see, and the third one (Dr. Sinclair), who we just recently started to see when we had an emergency with one of our cats and the subsequent follow up visits. Now, our cats are not young, and one of them has a couple of ongoing health concerns that require medication. All three of the ladies that we have taken our cats to have been very thourough, explain everything really well (which is obviously very important), answer all questions and are understanding. They are also so obviously cat ladies, which I love. They talk to the cats and pet them and are just really great with them. I mentioned our emergency situation earlier, and I just want to expand on that a bit. We noticed Clair (the cat) acting strangely, so called and were able to bring her in right away. We had to keep taking her in, put her on different medication and do some other things. I was very stressed the whole time. Dr. Sinclair was great during the appointments, and the staff at the clinic called constantly to check up on her and make follow up appointments. I also called in a couple of times and spoke with one of the girls at the front as well as an extremely helpful tech named Katy. All of the staff are concerned about your pet there. The clinic is very clean. The waiting area is nice and open, with a little shop area with toys, food and grooming supplies. I'm pretty sure the ladies at the front have been there for at least the past 5 years, too, which is nice.I can't really comment at the prices, because to be honest with you, it doesn't really concern me, and I have nothing to compare it to since we've been going here for a while. Part of being a pet owner are the associated costs, and I will pay for quality care.Good hours - open until 6pm every weekday and 8pm on Tuesdays. Open Saturdays 9-4. Read Less

During the spaying of my 6-month old pup, the vet in charge of her surgery opened the valve on the ventilator supplying her with oxygen, but neglected to turn on the exhaust valve. The resulting CO2 buildup caused my puppy to experience cardiac arrest. They revived her, and finished the procedure, but the long-lasting effects of the mistake on my dog are unknown, as the breed is prone to heart problems later in life. Will not return. Read Less

I cannot say how great this clinic is.  We had a 13 year old cocker spaniel that we took here for the 2 years were were in Fort Sask.  They are professional, caring, gentle, respectful, and thorough.  We were in many times as cockers have so many ear infections.  She was always treated lovingly.  We were never rushed.  There was always a call a couple of days later to see how Maggie was doing.  This is a very, very  caring place.  Unfortunately we had to say good bye a couple of weeks ago.  The entire staff has been fantastic, and sent a condolence letter after they found out.  Truly this is the place to take your animals.  They are treated with respect, love, concern as are the owners.  Thank you so very much Mills Haven.

My husband and his family had been taking their dog and cat to a vet here (Dr. Holowaychuk, the founder of the clinic) for years. When we moved in together 5 years ago, we started taking our cats here as well.We've seen three vets over the course of that time; the first one - who was excellent - moved away, the second one (Dr. Clarke), who we still see, and the third one (Dr. Sinclair), who we just recently started to see when we had an emergency with one of our cats and the subsequent follow up visits. Now, our cats are not young, and one of them has a couple of ongoing health concerns that require medication. All three of the ladies that we have taken our cats to have been very thourough, explain everything really well (which is obviously very important), answer all questions and are understanding. They are also so obviously cat ladies, which I love. They talk to the cats and pet them and are just really great with them. I mentioned our emergency situation earlier, and I just want to expand on that a bit. We noticed Clair (the cat) acting strangely, so called and were able to bring her in right away. We had to keep taking her in, put her on different medication and do some other things. I was very stressed the whole time. Dr. Sinclair was great during the appointments, and the staff at the clinic called constantly to check up on her and make follow up appointments. I also called in a couple of times and spoke with one of the girls at the front as well as an extremely helpful tech named Katy. All of the staff are concerned about your pet there. The clinic is very clean. The waiting area is nice and open, with a little shop area with toys, food and grooming supplies. I'm pretty sure the ladies at the front have been there for at least the past 5 years, too, which is nice.I can't really comment at the prices, because to be honest with you, it doesn't really concern me, and I have nothing to compare it to since we've been going here for a while. Part of being a pet owner are the associated costs, and I will pay for quality care.Good hours - open until 6pm every weekday and 8pm on Tuesdays. Open Saturdays 9-4. Read Less
