🐾 : Griswold’s Journey 🐾

Griswold, a 4-year-old Lab mix, lives for playtime, tail wags, and keeping up with his family. But when he tore a crucial ligament in his knee, everything changed. He was in pain, unable to move like he used to, and he needed surgery to get his life back.

His owner was doing everything she could, but the cost of the procedure was still out of reach.

That’s where and VCA Canada Bellbrae Animal Hospital stepped in.

With nomination of the case from the team, and support from the fund, Griswold received a TPLO surgery from a visiting orthopedic surgeon and the dedicated staff. He was surrounded by care, compassion, and people who believed in giving him a second chance.

Today, Griswold is thriving; soaking up every ounce of love (and belly rubs) as he heals.

We know, that when we come together for the ones who can’t speak for themselves, we change lives. Paw by paw.💙

Do you know the signs of in pets? Lyme disease isn’t just a concern for humans, it can seriously affect our pets too, especially dogs who spend time outdoors in grassy or wooded areas.

Early signs can be subtle, like fatigue or loss of appetite, but may progress to joint pain, fever, and even kidney issues if left untreated. That’s why prevention and early detection are so important.

🐾 Meet 🐾 Farnaz | The Doctor With a Twist

Growing up Farnaz always loved science. And horses. Her parents were very academically focused so they loved that she loved science. They wanted her to become a doctor. But those horses - they ended up leading her to a different stream . “I told my parents, ok, I’ll be a doctor…but with a twist.”

The horses reined her in with how they expressed themselves without words. How something as simple as a flick of an ear, or their posture could tell you everything you needed to know. “I felt like I understood them and they understood me.” Communicating with animals and understanding them on an emotional level, remains a passion of hers to this day.

Fast forward some years, and Farnaz got to be a part of our . One of the most hands-on, immersive experiences a can have. Every year, we welcome students from across the country and give them real clinical experience, while making sure they feel supported, mentored, appreciated and heard.

She’d already worked in five other clinics before joining a VCA Canada hospital, but she noticed right away; "...something felt different here. The way they treated me was unlike anything from other clinics. Pretty much every single person in that building was helping me learn.”

She got more exposure and opportunity, rotating through , , , , and even . “I was getting right in there. I even got to scrub in on surgery. It really showed me how all the specialties work together. You had access to everything. I really valued how my learning was actually prioritized. They don’t just care for pets. As a student, I felt cared for by VCA Canada.”

Farnaz has since graduated and moved to to start her career as a Doctor (you hear that Mom and Dad?) of Veterinary Medicine.

Her experience in the DVM Summer Student Program proved to her that whether you walk into a VCA Canada Hospital on two legs or four, you are in good hands. And because they take care of the people behind the pets, the pet care only gets better.

🐾 Paw It Forward Spotlight: Meow Meow’s Journey 🐾

This week, we’re proud to highlight a powerful story of compassion and community support from our amazing team at VCA Canada Mississauga Oakville Veterinary Emergency & Specialty Hospital. Their dedication and heart made all the difference for a very special patient: Meow Meow, a 1.5-year-old domestic shorthair who survived a devastating house fire.

Meow Meow arrived with severe burns to her face, paws, and ears, and was oxygen-dependent due to smoke inhalation. Her family was hospitalized from the fire, and a caring neighbour stepped in to bring her to safety. That same neighbour also helped rally the community to pool funds for her treatment. An incredible act of kindness that set the stage for her recovery.

Thanks to incredible community efforts, a donation from our hospital, and our program, Meow Meow received the intensive care she needed. As she healed, her sweet and gentle personality began to shine through, winning hearts and reminding everyone what resilience looks like.

Stories like this truly inspire us and we are so grateful to be part of a network that puts compassion at the heart of care.
