Tanglefoot Veterinary Services is an established, full-service mixed animal hospital that is locally owned & operated in the heart of the East Kootenay region. Established in 2009 by Dr. Uli Helvoigt, our practice is dedicated to delivering exceptional veterinary care to Cranbrook and its surrounding areas.

The practice continues to be locally owned and operated and is led by a partnership of women deeply rooted in the community. With a team of over 35 professionals, we offer a diverse range of skills and a shared commitment to providing compassionate and collaborative veterinary services to all species.

In 2023, Tanglefoot Veterinary Services was honored to receive the CVMA Practice of the Year award, recognizing our dedication to accessible emergency care and the establishment of the East Kootenay Veterinary Group. This cooperative initiative ensures 24/7 emergency coverage for the region.

We proudly offer mentorship programs for veterinary students and volunteer opportunities for individuals interested in pursuing a career in veterinary medicine. Committed to sustainability and the long-term well-being of veterinary professionals, Tanglefoot Veterinary Services fosters a community of diversity and unconditional acceptance.
