Dr. Anderson is happy to announce a collaboration with the amazing team at Collingwood Active Pets (CAP).
We have found virtual assessments (which involve videos, history, going through medical records and xrays, and developing a treatment plan and goals) to be very helpful for our own clients, allowing us to complete much of the assessment without the stress on our patients during the extra long appointments. We are happy to now be able to assist CAP with some of their more challenging cases using virtual assessments.

Teamwork makes the dream work 🥰

So this made me giggle today. I happened to find this podcast and had ZERO memory of recording it with Dr. Megan Kelly back in 2021. Knowing there are several Danielle Andersons doing waaaaay more important things than I am, I was like maybe it wasn't me. So I listened. It was me.

COVID times were WACKY! I knew I blocked a lot out but this was a surprise🤣

So after listening I decided to repost. Mentorship is so important in all professions but burnout, ego and competition often creep in creating barriers. Even when you may no longer need "mentoring", having a hive of amazing colleagues to chat with and discuss cases is invaluable. We can't know everything....but collaboration gives our patients so many more options!!!

I think I need a memory supplement...🤣
Happy long weekend!

Anyone who was fortunate enough to meet Dr. Capon when she came to Ontario for a visit knows that she is smart, personable, and enigmatic. She works hard to share her love of pain management and educate on all aspects of osteoarthritis supporting not just the Veterinary community but also caregivers. I had the incredible privilege to chat on her podcast about the role of exercise in osteoarthritis.

Take a listen and rate, review, and follow! Tons of great info. If you listen to podcasts this should be on your list!

And if there are things you want to hear about let her know!

You can listen on Amazon or Spotify!

Another Feelgood Friday coming at you courtesy of Sir Origami. While he patiently sported his graduation cap it is more of a stepping stone as he found his person. Connor is a final year vet student who came to do a placement with us. He has a history taking care of special needs cats, and has completed his rehab certification through the canine rehab institute while he was in vet school. Its a match made in heaven as he can carry on Ori's rehab.

We are going to miss him so much and we are all getting in our snuggles before they make the long road trip back to PEI.

We love you Ori and are so happy for you❤️

Most of you know that Christine will say be leaving us at the end of the month. If you want to come wish Christine well on her new journey, her last day is May 1.

We have been preparing all of our amazing patients by introducing them to Lina on Thursdays as she wraps up the end of her rehab course. Lina will be seeing rehab patients on Mondays and Thursdays as she co minutes to balance working the rest of her time in general practice! Below is a little more about our new amazing team member 😊

Lina first came to SOAR in 2024 when she completed her technician placement through Sheridan College. Her time at SOAR made her fall in love with rehabilitation and after spending a year in general practice, she began pursuing her rehab certification through Northern College. While she still works in general practice, we are so excited to have her rejoin the SOAR team as a certified rehabilitation technician!

Many of you have met my pup Camouflage. Today this sweet crazy boy turns ONE! We spent the day doing his favourite things....eating snacks, and playing in the SOAR gym.

Camo came into my life at a time when I was incredibly devastated as I had just lost my Gracie as well as a friend. Camo was everything I needed and more.

Why do I celebrate birthdays with my pups? Because one day I won't be able to. I cherish every single day I have with them. They give us everything......its a small thing to find time to celebrate them🥰

Happy birthday sweet boy.

Orthocanada reached out to us and asked if we could host the K tape workshop at SOAR. Of course we said yes! Dr. Anderson and Dr. Ekstrom had an amazing weekend learning from Lois and collaborating with all the physiotherapists and an RMT that were attending the course. We had fun, learned lots, and made new friends!!!!

Can't wait to transfer our learning to our 4 legged patients!!!!
