This weekend on call:

We recognize that on some occasions after-hours veterinary care will not be readily available in Cranbrook, and we want to ensure clients have the opportunity to seek care before it becomes an emergency. We ask that if you have difficulty travelling with your pet outside of Cranbrook, please consider developing an emergency preparedness plan for travel on weekends when veterinary care is not local.

*Please note that for large animal emergencies, call 250-489-1655 and follow the telephone prompts for LARGE ANIMAL care. Large animal after-hours service may differ from the above posted clinic, and you will be directed accordingly.

At Tanglefoot, we reserve a limited number of urgent care appointments every day, including Saturdays, for critical cases. Please be aware that these appointments, especially on Saturdays, fill quickly and we may not be able to accommodate all appointments.

Partner with us to PLAN AHEAD for a SAFE and HAPPY winter season!

Last but not least let’s hear about Dr. Uli Helvoigt! 🐴

Originally from Germany and later the interior of British Columbia , Dr. Uli relocated to Cranbrook in 2003, where she has since established roots with her family.

She graduated from UBC in 1997 with a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry, and then achieved her DVM status at Western College of Veterinary Medicine in 2003. Dr. Uli is the founder of Tanglefoot Veterinary Services, and opened the clinic doors in early 2009. She has built a diverse and fulfilling career and has a passion for equine veterinary care. Her interests include equine performance medicine, surgery, dentistry, and theriogenology. While Uli does enjoy all aspects of small animal medical and preventive care, her favourite place in the clinic is the surgical suite. Uli is a skilled small animal surgeon and has advanced her skills in small animal orthopedic surgery, soft tissue surgery, and dentistry.

Outside of Tanglefoot, Dr. Uli enjoys a variety of outdoor activities, including horseback riding (jumping and dressage), biking, hiking, and skiing. An avid skier, Uli can often be found chasing after her kids across the country for various skiing adventures. This passion for active living reflects a love for the outdoors and a strong connection to nature, which is echoed in both personal life and commitment to animal care.

Dr. Uli is a proud parent to two children, along with a lively household that includes three dogs, two cats, four horses, and many chickens - talk about a full house!
