About Pulse Veterinary Specialists & Emergency

Pulse Veterinary Specialists and Emergency is a state-of-the-art hospital opened in March 2020.

Conveniently located just off the Anthony Henday to provide convenient access for all residents of the greater Edmonton area.

Dr. Kim Hawkes, the first veterinary cardiologist in Alberta, had long-envisioned opening a practice that matched exceptional care with compassion and community pride. With this vision in mind, an incredible team of board-certified veterinary specialists, emergency veterinarians, animal health technologists and amazing support staff began to grow together to bring this practice to life.

Pulse is excited to be introducing the first veterinary radiologist and neurologist to Edmonton. We are also the only veterinary hospital in the region to boast an MRI.

At Pulse Veterinary Specialists and Emergency, we understand our role in the veterinary community. As a referral and emergency service, we operate to provide veterinary care that compliments the services provided by your practice. Our focus is to work synergistically with your team and always operate in a professional and collegial manner.

We cherish the opportunity to offer advanced and emergency services to fulfill our role in supporting referring veterinarians to provide the best care for their patient.

As a referral practice, we have an open door policy with our referring veterinarians where we encourage feedback to allow us to continue to adapt our approach to reach our goals:

• To provide clients with an excellent experience that focuses on medicine and compassionate care
• To work synergistically and complementarily with referring veterinarians in a professional and collegial manner
