The C.A.R.E. Centre is much more than an emergency clinic. We are a fully functioning referral hospital, which means we operate much like a human hospital. We do not offer primary veterinary care, other than emergencies, patients must be referred to us through their local veterinarian.
Our board certified specialists and experts provide a wide range of referral services including:
Oncology, Ultrasound, Cardiology, Internal Medicine, Ophthalmology, Neurology, Orthopedic surgery, Dermatology, Soft tissue surgery, Radiology.

5 stars Courteney M Featured review
Your entire staff was incredible, and without Dr. Dias, the critical care team, as well as everybody else at the hospital I don’t think Luna would be alive today. We can’t thank you enough for all of your kindness, hard work, attention to detail, and the care you provided to our baby. You made it possible for us to bring our baby home, and for that we’ll never be able to thank you enough. This hospital was phenomenal in every aspect, every thing we needed was not only accommodated, but was gone above and beyond what was required. You kept our family together, and we would make the drive from Edmonton again in a second for everybody at this hospital and the care Luna was provided. I simply can’t say enough nice things about this hospital, you saved our little girl and we’ll be forever grateful.

Caring treatment of my cat.
I would like to see a summary report emailed, as it is challenging to remember names of medical diagnosis and options.

We called to explain what was happening with our dog and the staff were very understanding and suggested we come in. We did - the wait was not as long as they had suggested, the staff/Dr. were outstanding and the care that was provided to our dog was excellent.

Until yesterday, I had not been to a dentist in quite some time.I was referred by my daughter and her husband who have been Dr. van Blaricom's patients for years. I found the staff to be very friendly, courteous and cheerful. As for Dr. van Baricom, he did a tooth extraction which, believe it or not, was painless. Not only would I recommend Kensington Dental Care in a heartbeat, I have made my next appointment for a complete checkup and a visit to their dental hygienist. Bill KRead More …
