Alberta Veterinary Centre
Alberta Veterinary Center in Red Deer Alberta, is a full service animal hospital. It is our commitment to provide quality veterinary care throughout the life of your animal. Our services and facilities are designed to assist in routine preventive care for young, healthy animals; early detection and treatment of disease as your companion animal ages; and complete medical and surgical care as necessary during his or her lifetime.

We also provide complete medical and surgical care as necessary for your equine and bovine animals. Our goal is to practice the highest quality medicine and surgery with compassion with an emphasis on client education. Our entire healthcare team is committed to providing personal attention to the unique concerns of each individual animal owner.
Services
To allow ample time for all patients and scheduled surgical procedures, we strongly advise clients to book an appointment. Emergency cases will always receive top priority, which is why occasional appointment delay is inevitable. Please realize that we make a sincere attempt to see each client on time.
Dr. Rick Katchuik has been a practicing veterinarian since his graduation from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in 1991. While Rick works with all species, he has a professional interest in bovine and equine reproduction. In 2019 Dr Rick bred more than 150 mares, plus an additional 50-60 embryo transfers.
If you have called the clinic, most likely it is Katrina helping you on the other side of the phone. Katrina has a passion for animals and had been working as a technologist for 3 years in a mixed animal practice before her interest in equine medicine brought her here. She is involved in all aspects of patient and client care.
Because of the shorter lifespan of our pets, we stress the importance of an annual physical examination. Thorough check-ups and preventive care can help alleviate serious health problems. We offer a wide range of veterinary services to keep your companions feeling their best. We are always adding to the list of equipment we have and services that we offer.
Vaccines are health products that trigger protective immune responses in pets and prepare them to fight future infections from disease-causing agents. Vaccines can lessen the severity of future diseases and certain vaccines can prevent infection altogether. For these and many other reasons it is important to vaccinate your pet to protect them against many highly contagious and deadly diseases.

Hands down the best vet and staff I've ever dealt with! They took great care of my big guy, I couldn't have asked for more! Dr. Rick listened to my concerns, explained things when I asked and made sure he did everything he could to help us. Thank you so much Alberta Veterinary Center!

Staff is caring to the pets needs and the parents of the fur baby too. Dr Jess and Dr Rick are so great and you can see that they feel your pain and really care about the pets. The front staff is great and very welcoming. Best vet I have had and pricing was better then many other clinics

I had a PPE completed by Dr Rick Katchuik, in which all documents have this horse passing all within normal limits. 50 x-rays this Dr took. Dr Katchuik assured me this was a good purchase. Not only did this horse have a major roachback (marked as normal) but he also had major spinal compression and neck compression. I thought it was my saddle as it showed up as soon as I got him, then I continued to try other saddles with saddle fitters etc. This horse was also tripping when being lunged and rode, so I got the farrier to come out. Still no improvement. Then I took him to a well known trainer for

I have been to Alberta Vet numerous times and have found both Drs and all staff to be very knowledgeable, friendly and incredibly helpful. They have consistently delivered exceptional care and a very reasonable price and will continue to be my vet of choice.

It is call a hospital for animal and was told on feb 8 2018 they said they not have narcotic there to give to the animal in pain waiting for surgery. I hope they are honest people but for some raison I fell they are upset over not getting the surgery because the price was $1200 cheaper somewhere else. Every clinic in town have narcotic but they told me to go back to UFA vet because they check the animal already . I will check for animal protection to do futur investigation on that narcotic not available.

Having Great Danes....don’t try putting a 150 pound dog on a five ft table for an X-ray. Rick uses a “horse X-ray”. Dog lays on the ground. X-ray done. No trauma. He’s not fluffy, but honest as hell...he and Kim...my trust is, and always has been, with them.

Amazing service! Fixed my Lampaca Up very good. Was very last minute and after hours. A big thanks to Dr. Oakley for taking the time out of her day to meet me at the clinic only 45 minutes after I had called. Would definately recommend! Thank so much!!!
