An animal hospital dedicated to affordable treatment for pets opened Saturday in southeast Calgary, and business is already booming.

The Task Force Animal Hospital officially opened its doors Saturday, offering accessible and affordable vet care to people who might otherwise not be able to afford to take their pet to the vet.

“It’s really the first hospital like this in Alberta right now,” said Canadian Animal Task Force executive director and co-founder R.J. Bailot.

Bailot said the group originally started to support Indigenous communities with dog management practices, setting up spay and neuter clinics but could see the need to broaden its reach.
