Barrett Veterinary Practice
We know how important your pets are, and we’re committed to delivering the compassionate care they deserve.
When your pet needs expert veterinary care in the Greater Calgary Area, Barrett Veterinary Practice is here to help. Located just off the Ring Road, our privately owned clinic provides a welcoming, stress-free environment to ensure that both you and your pet feel comfortable throughout the visit—no matter where you live in the city.
Whether your furry friend is a dog, cat, horse, or even a goat, our veterinary team offers a wide range of services tailored to meet their needs, from routine check-ups and vaccinations to advanced diagnostics and treatments.
On the latest episode of The Independent Vet, Dr. Beth Barrett breaks down why mental engagement matters just as much for cats as it does for us (and our dogs). A stimulated cat is a happier, better-behaved cat — and yes, your shoes will thank you.

Hard day at the office! 😴 Stanley and Fezzik are absolutely nailing their annual exams by showing us just how relaxed they can be. There`s nothing quite like patients who know they`re in good hands – even if those good hands are trying to check their hearts and bellies!
These two sweethearts remind us that with a gentle approach and plenty of patience, vet visits can be calm, comfortable experiences. We love seeing our fuzzy patients this at ease during their important check-ups. 💙

Please meet Lefty and Poncho. These wee kids lost their mom recently so the Barrett Team has been looking after them. We`re thinking they might need pyjamas. Who doesn`t love baby goats in pjs?
Charlie and her sister Mabel came in for a SpayDay.
They thought mom and dad said, "Spa Day."
Charlie was waiting for her nails to get `did,` and Mabel was enjoying her hot towel ... yeah 😂 🙃

Happy Saturday! Here’s a feel-good story for your weekend -
This fine little gentleman is Oscar and we was just recently rescued from @savinggraceanimalsociety with quite the backstory. Oscar was found in a dumpster, TRIPLE bagged with 3 garbage bags, freezing in his own pee and with multiple large dog bite wounds. Luckily, he was found in the nick of time and with some warmth and prompt medical attention he survived the terrible ordeal. His new owner has never had a cat before but after seeing him up for adoption and reading his story, she knew he had to come home with her. One evening after work her and her husband drove to the Ponoka area to bring little Oscar home where he belongs. Now, Oscar is thriving! He has the loveliest personality and is so incredibly laid back. We fell in love with him when we saw him recently for a booster vaccine and health exam. His wounds are healed and his fur is just starting to grow back in and we can’t wait to be able to care for him for many years. This little man deserves the world and went to such an amazing home that it makes our hearts sing! We love you Oscar!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
P.S. Yes, he is named Oscar after Oscar the Grouch because of the whole being found in the garbage thing and we think it’s the perfect name for him and love the cheekiness of it 💖😅
