About

Dr. Wendy McClelland, DVM
Mobile Vet
Dr Wendy grew up on a farm in Southern Alberta surrounded by animals. Her pets were members of the family and she was always drawn to taking care of them. Her earliest memory of wanting to be a vet was at just 8 years old.
Her dream came true when she received her certification as Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from the University of Saskatoon in 2002. At first, she practiced in a mixed animal clinic in her hometown of Pincher Creek, Alberta. In 2011 Wendy and her family settled in Cochrane.
Wendy began exploring alternatives to the traditional vet clinic when she found that many pets were not comfortable in that setting. Her heart went out to the scared kitties, the seniors that had trouble getting up the stairs, the critters that preferred not to be near other pets, and those that just did not care for car rides.
Dr. Wendy has been doing house calls since 2009. With over 10 years of experience doing vet visits in home, she continues to be passionate about the care she provides.
Dr. Wendy has been featured in a number of publications and media outlets, including the Calgary Herald, CMT television, Corus Radio Network and was on the national television show, Pet heroes.
Today, Dr. Wendy still enjoys being surrounded by pets and has three wonderful kitties of her own: Sunny Seeds, Baddic, and Raven. You can trust Wendy to treat your pet as compassionately as she treats her own.

The passing of a pet is utterly devastating, the process of euthanasia, we thought was going to be incredibly hard, believe me it was not fun, but what an amazing lady Dr Wendy is, her compassion and bedside manner is absolutely second to none, Dr Wendy was just everything that our family needed at this difficult time, if you need this procedure to take place, please know that we wholeheartedly would recommend Dr Wendy without any doubt and she will help you through this most difficult and distressing time. Dr Wendy, on behalf of Lily, thanks for looking after our little girl so well. Jenelle Newman2024-08-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr.Wendy was absolutely amazing. We had booked in for Thursday but Monday morning came and we knew our cat wasn’t going to make it that long so she fit us in for later that day, they set up all the arraignments for us as well. It was my first time ever having to put a pet down and Dr. Wendy was so nice and understanding. She was really good at explaining everything and how it was going to go. It was one of the saddest and hardest things I’ve ever had to do and I’m so glad we were able to give our fur baby the peace and comfort of doing it in his home with the people who loved him. Gillian Schindel2024-08-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Earlier this week I had to say goodbye to my elderly dog, and I can't express enough gratitude for the compassionate care that Dr. Wendy provided during this incredibly difficult time. From the moment she arrived, she exuded warmth and understanding, making both my dog and me feel comfortable. Dr. Wendy took the time to explain every step of the process, ensuring that my dog was calm and pain-free throughout. Her gentle demeanor and professional approach made what could have been an unbearable experience into a peaceful and dignified farewell. I am deeply grateful to Dr. Wendy for the kindness and empathy she showed during our final moments together. If you ever find yourself in the heartbreaking position of having to say goodbye to a pet, I cannot recommend Dr. Wendy highly enough.

The positive attitude and calm assurance made the visit great. Suzie took her ear medications without any issues. Thanks for the great job. Paul Alberstat2024-07-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We always look forward to Dr. Destiny visiting. It’s nice to have your animals comfortable in their own setting with no exposure to other animals or strange settings. All our animals like visiting with her when she comes for their checkups. We can’t recommend her enough. Irene Lichon2024-07-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I love seeing Dr Wendy and more importantly my dog loves seeing her too. She has a gentle way of coaxing my doggy into giving bloodwork and administering annual vaccines. She takes the costs of dog care into consideration and offers valuable insight into my dog's best health. Katrin Becker2024-07-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Friendly, accommodating, knowledgeable. Just WONDERFUL!

Dr. Destinee Dummer
DVM
Dr Destinee likes to think outside the litter box. This includes the native Calgarian going far and wide to obtain her veterinary education. Why not skip winter and go somewhere warm for school? She travelled through the Caribbean, Australia, Singapore and East Africa to finally graduate in 2008. After spending several years working in a clinic setting, she realized two things – many cats do not make it to the vet clinic until they are in a critical state because the stress of bringing them in outweighs the desire for routine care, and that senior pets or pets with behaviour issues often get overlooked for that same reason. In 2016, Dr. Destinee found her calling doing house calls and continues to enjoy visiting pets in their homes, meeting the whole family, and tailoring treatments that work on an individual level. She understands that not every dog enjoys meeting other dogs, that often cats are not okay leaving their comfort zone and some owners struggle getting their pet to a clinic. With her passion in feline medicine and behaviour, coupled with geriatric animal care and end of life services, she is living her dream. When not working, Dr. Destinee can be found enjoying the outdoors with her family. She has managed to create harmny in a home with four cats, a new dog and a handful of other weird and exotic critters. She is pleased to be meeting and getting to know your furry family too.
