Yellowhead Veterinary Clinic
Yellowhead Veterinary Clinic has been keeping pets healthy in Stony Plain, Alberta since 1992. The clinic has grown every year since its inception. As our clientele grows we have added more staff and more equipment to better serve our patients. The Yellowhead Veterinary Clinic currently hosts one veterinarian with additional locum support, four registered veterinary technicians, one office manager, and seven receptionists/support staff.

Yellowhead Veterinary Clinic looks forward to providing many more years of service to our existing and future clients and their furry friends! Dr. Kendra Doornenbal graduated from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in Saskatoon in 2007. She spent her first year in practice as a mixed animal veterinarian taking care of farm and pet animals.
Services
An important factor in helping pets live longer, healthier lives is dental care. Bad teeth and gums not only give pets breath that can melt steel, they can also make them awfully sick. Chronic inflammation from gum disease has been shown to lead to heart, kidney, and liver disease. Illnesses involving these important organs can shorten your pet's life considerably.
Vaccinations are a safe and proven method of preventing serious illnesses. Annual booster vaccinations combat the gradual decline in protection provided by your pet's immune system that can occur over time. Vaccination protocols at Yellowhead Veterinary Clinic are tailored to individual pets' lifestyles.
Annual health examinations are important to maintain a pet's well-being. A careful examination coupled with a detailed history can find many potential health concerns before they manifest into serious issues that could threaten your pet's well-being. Medical records are kept to track your pet's health over the years.
Fluffy and Fido do not always choose to eat what is good for them. Sometimes you have to wonder just what they were thinking when they were eating some of the things they get into! Fluffy's and Fido's owners do not always choose the best food for their furry friends. Marketing by pet food companies and internet rumours often get owners on the wrong track when it comes to their pet's diet.
As we move the laser through the tissue the light beam's heat seals the nerve endings resulting in less pain. The same light energy also caps small blood vessels resulting in less bleeding. A laser doesn't push down on the tissue as it cuts so there is no crushing or bruising resulting in less swelling.

They are so responsive and wonderful. Their team is top notch and the prices are very reasonable. They helped my, Millie, get through her pregnancy and with all the pups and continue to work with my dogs, for regular check-ups.
One of our pups had Puppy Strangles and they got us in so fast and we sorted everything out and all the pups and Millie are doing great, thanks to all their help.
Very professional and knowledgeable.

I took my cat poncho here to get him checked out and it turned out that he needed to have some teeth pulled. They had 4 teeth extracted last Monday and he couldn’t be happier. He has been healing so well and when I came home after his surgery he was so happy to see me. They treated poncho was the best care possible and made sure he felt right at home. The cat also said that poncho was such a friendly cat and he was in good hands so I didn’t need to worry. So thank you again for helping my poncho and taking away his discomfort so he can be the happy go lucky cat that I know to be. 😻

I take my dogs here if they need medical attention, without hesitation they are my first call. They take the time to explain so you have full understanding, provide options for care/treatment and are diligent with following up, making sure once you are home you have no issues. They make you feel like they care about both you and your pet. Love this place!
I had to go back again the other day and they have a new Veterinarian there, Dr. Daryl Meger. Without a doubt, the BEST Veterinarian ever. After seeing him, there is nobody else I want my dogs seeing. The care and level of attention he gives

Since moving to the area, I've been taking my pets to Yellowhead Veterinary Clinic. I continue seeing them as they are very compassionate, kind and understanding. Whenever I've gone, they always give me a breakdown of potential costs, and different ways to treat the issues presented. They were extremely helpful and compassionate when we took our… senior dog there, and had to eventually put him down. They gave us all the time we needed to say our goodbyes to him, and later sent a card with their condolences which meant more than I can say. Their front staff are also wonderful to deal with

The ladies were nice and helpful. The vet was awesome, he got on the ground and got to know the dogs, listened to all my concerns. This vet was recommended to me from a long time client who lost their dog and said they helped the family get through that tough time. prices were reasonable. would definitely recommend!

We have been taking our 2 dogs here for many years. Each time, the staff and veterinarians meet us in such a caring and genuine way. Our dogs are always taken such good care of while they are visiting whether it is for a surgery, dental appointment, or check up. The staff goes beyond to make us humans at ease with leaving our fur babes there. Definitely worth the drive from the city to get such exceptional care!

We've taken our dogs and cats here for years. Despite changing owners a few years ago, the quality of service has not declined in the least. Dr. Kendra is a gifted veterinarian and highly recommended.

There is nothing necessarily wrong with their service except for price. I thought I had to have my cat euthanized because I didn't have budget for their services. It's a good thing that the SPCA told me on the line when I was asking to surrender him that I might want to call elsewhere as the Yellowhead Vet Clinic was known to be expensive. I was able to find somewhere else to do the surgery for literally a quarter of the price. I wouldn't be as dissatisfied if they told me that I should try elsewhere before going for euthanasia.

Excellent service, very caring staff, the vets take the time to talk with the owners of fur babies, explaining everything to a "T". Highly recommend Yellowhead Veterinary Clinc.

When I moved to Stony Plain in about 2000 I brought my cat there with a fractured toe Dr.Reid was the vet who looked at him and was especially gentle with with him..it was what made me decide to keep bringing my pets there..after Dr.Reid left my pets saw Dr.Long who also gave exceptional care to the critters..I've lived in BC now since 2010 and… wish I could find a vet as good as Dr.Long..The couple of Vets I've brought my pets to here I haven't really cared for..seems to me they're just in it for the money and don't care all that much about our fur babies..Miss having Dr.Long as my vet

I can’t say enough about the vets and staff at Yellowhead Veterinary Clinic. They are totally focused on the best care for your pets. Dr. Kendra and Dr. Long have gone above and beyond for our pets. They are… amazing at taking the time to explain things. Let’s face it, it is extremely stressful when your furry family member is not feeling well. Both emotionally and financially. It is so comforting to find an excellent team that I trust 100%.

I wish to thank the staff and Dr. Kendra for their care and concern last week with both Woden and Bragi. Although it was a very tough decision for us regarding Woden, it was much more palatable because of their professionalism and warmth. Bragi is now fine as well...proper diagnoses and medical care, not to mention peace of mind.

I've been taking my kitties here since 2010, and have received nothing short of the best care from all the staff. They truly are amazing, and it's obvious that their concern for the animals is sincere. I highly recommend this place!!
