About the hospital
An animal hospital your family can trust
Animal Medical Centre has cared for Edmonton's pets since 1976, when it began as the Millwoods Animal Clinic. The current hospital on Parsons Road was founded in 1995 by Dr. Peter Claffey and Dr. Benetta Ayvaz-zadeh, with a boarding wing added in 2011. As a certified hospital of the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA), we hold ourselves to the highest standards of veterinary care, from routine wellness and vaccines to advanced surgery, dentistry, diagnostics and an in-house ICU. And when you travel, our boarding team keeps your pet comfortable and sends you photo updates.
"We don't take our role as Veterinarians lightly, and always put the welfare of the animals trusted in our care above all else."
