Edgemont Veterinary Clinic

What Edgemont Veterinary Clinic does

Edgemont Veterinary Clinic is an independent, single-location companion-animal veterinary practice located at 105-8210 Edgebrook Dr NW in the Edgemont neighborhood of Calgary, Alberta. Founded in 1981, the clinic provides a full spectrum of primary-care veterinary services for dogs and cats, including preventive wellness exams, vaccinations, parasite control, nutrition counselling, dental care, dermatology, in-house bloodwork, ultrasound and X-ray diagnostics, surgical procedures (including spay/neuter and some orthopedic work), laser therapy, and end-of-life care. The practice operates Monday through Friday with limited Saturday hours and refers after-hours emergencies to Fish Creek Pet Hospital.

The clinic's service platform is built on a conventional small-practice technology stack — digital radiology, ultrasound, in-house laboratory with same-day results, surgical monitoring equipment, and laser therapy — augmented by telemedicine-based referrals to board-certified radiologists for complex imaging cases. Client engagement is supported digitally through the AllyDVM online booking system, the PetPage loyalty and referral mobile app, and an online store (MyVetStore) for retail pet products. Two bundled, subscription-adjacent wellness programs — the Healthy Start Program for puppies and kittens (four pre-booked visits covering vaccinations, exams, and spay/neuter) and the Senior Wellness Screening program for pets aged 7+ — represent deliberate productization of preventive care beyond a pure fee-for-service model.

Commercially, Edgemont operates a direct-to-consumer model: revenue is generated primarily through professional veterinary services, with secondary streams from retail pet food and medications (Hills, Purina, Royal Canin), bundled wellness programs, and an online store. Payment is due at the time of service; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, and client financing is available through iFinance/Petcard. The clinic maintains community partnerships with several Calgary-area animal-welfare organizations (CNIB Guide Dogs, MEOW Foundation, Calgary Humane Society, AARCS) and is part of a referral ecosystem with Fish Creek Pet Hospital for emergency coverage. With roughly six staff including two of three named veterinarians currently on leave, the practice's capacity for near-term expansion is constrained despite strong community tenure.
