Founded in the year 2000, Emil Veterinary Services was born shortly after Dr. Emil Sabau immigrated to Canada from Romania. After doing some remote work in the Picture Butte area pregnancy testing for some of the largest beef producers in Canada, a seed was planted in Emil's mind. He soon realized that Southern Alberta was home not just to a plethora of farms, feedlots and dairies, but with that came the group of hardworking and honest individuals who run these operations. He felt relaxed amongst this friendly community of people, most of whom were immigrants like him. It seemed like an entire paradise had opened up for his professional field. In 1998 he obtained his first job in the area and moved his family to Taber. His dream really came true, though, in 2000 when his veterinary company was born.
