After calling around to various vets around the city, I settled on Prairie Winds for the euthanasia of my extremely ill 17 year old cat. Their extended hours and low prices drew us here, but I was also quite pleased with the compassion and sympathy offered to me and my family. They understood the urgency of our situation and despite us being half an hour late for our 6pm appointment, they did not rush us at all (we were there until after closing) and handled the situation very professionally. We opted to have our kitty privately cremated and I am confident she is being handled with care and dignity.
Price was a huge concern for our family, and I was amazed at how expensive euthanasia is! All the vets I spoke with gave me quotes of $125 and up for the euthanasia, except for Fish Creek which was $89. Prairie Winds charges only $40. The sedation beforehand was an extra $20. We paid $106 for the private cremation, where everyone else I spoke to was a minimum of $120.
Though I can't give an opinion on their other services, I can say I will opt to bring my other pets here in the future, despite it being quite far out of my way. Jane and Dr Patel made our final moments with our beloved kitty as comfortable and dignified as possible and I will be eternally grateful for that.
