Review of Calgary Avian and Exotic Pet C...

Today I brought kisa (my ball python) to this vet. I was really nervous because I have never brought a pet to a vet before (kisa is my first pet) and I have heard some good and some very scary reviews of how some vets (different vets around the city) treat snakes. I read the reviews on this page and there isn't any for a snake. When I arrived the lady at the front desk was really nice and made me feel welcome, she lead me to a room and shortly the vet came in. Dr. Julie DeCubellis was very kind and gentle with kisa, she talked to me about what they look for during a snake check up and ask me questions about how I care for kisa. She gently held kisa and when kisa fought against her (kisa didn't like having her head held to get her eyes and mouth checked.) The vet was kind enough to ask a couple more vets to help hold kisa so she wouldn't hurt herself, they were quick and after kisa calmed down she warmed back up to the vets right away.i was very impressed with their knowledge and how they treated kisa. I plan to continue bringing kisa here for annual check ups and I would recommend them to any snake owner. Thank you so much, Dr. Julie DeCubellis, for taking care of my baby :) it means a lot to me.
