Sticks may seem harmless, but they can actually pose a risk to dogs. 🐶🪵Chewing on sticks can lead to splinters in the mouth, injuries to the gums, choking, and even pieces getting stuck in the throat or digestive tract. Some dogs may also injure their teeth from biting down on hard wood. If your dog loves to chew or carry sticks outside, it’s a good idea to redirect them to safer alternatives like durable chew toys or pet-safe fetch toys.

If your pet has trouble chewing, is pawing at the mouth, drooling more than usual, or seems painful after playing with a stick, it’s best to have them checked. Call 250-782-5616 if you’re concerned.

💐Happy 1 yr workiversary to one of fabulous RVT's Emily 💐

Emily has fit right in since joining our team a year ago. She's been saving the day (and our sanity) with her positivity and willingness to do whatever it takes to get the job done since day 1!

A few fun facts about Emily:

🐮What’s one case that has really stayed with you? A cow came in on emergency for vomiting and was unable to keep any food or water down. We performed a gastroscope and found a rubber dog ball lodged in the esophagus!

😺 What type of case or procedure do you most enjoy working on? I absolutely love busy cat surgery days. They’re fast paced and always a fun challenge.

🐶Which species or breed do you love working with the most and why? Any working dogs, seeing the bond and trust in their people is amazing.

🍩☕What’s your go-to snack or drink that gets you through a busy shift? Tea and timbits

🎷What’s a fun fact about you that your coworkers might not know? I use to play the clarinet, baritone saxophone and oboe.

Thank you for all you do each and every day Emily! We are looking forward to having you here for many more years to come 🥰

💐Happy 3rd workiversary to one of our amazing RVT’s Sam 💐
Sam’s deep caring nature and bright outlook on life keeps us all smiling.

A few fun facts about Sam:

🐈 What’s one case that has really stayed with you?
Recently a case that sticks out to me is a cat that came in to be spayed and came back with complications. We had to return to surgery and she ended up hospitalized in clinic. This sweet kitty wouldn't eat at home and was declining so we had to place a feeding tube and help manage her pain in clinic. The moment she started eating and acting more like a cat again made me so happy!

🐈What type of case or procedure do you most enjoy working on?
Any surgical procedures and hospitalized patient care!

🐈What do you wish more people knew about the work you do?
What a vet tech does and is able to do. We do everything from taking histories and vitals, inducing, monitoring and assisting in surgery, taking x-rays, blood draws, lab work, dental x-rays and cleanings, hospitalized patient treatments and more! 🩻💉💊🩺

🐈Which species or breed do you love working with the most and why?
Cats! I love trying to make our kitty patients feel as comfortable as possible in the clinic.😻

🐈What’s your go-to snack or drink that gets you through a busy shift?
Diet coke and coffee 🥤☕️

🐈What’s a fun fact about you your coworkers might not know?
As a chronic oversharer I don't think there is much these people don't know about me at this point.

Thank you Sam for everything thing you do each and every day. We truly appreciate it 👏🎉

We are very excited to have Dr. Caily Mellott join our team in July!

Sphynx cats may be known for their unique hairless look, but there’s much more to this breed than appearance alone. 🐱 Because they lack a normal fur coat, Sphynx cats often need a little extra help with skin care, warmth, and routine hygiene. Their skin can collect oils more easily, and they may be more sensitive to sun exposure and cold temperatures than other cats.

**UPDATE - OWNER FOUND***
Thanks to everyone who shared this post! 😻

**FOUND CAT **
This little girl wandered into our yard this morning. She looks well fed and is super sweet so we are thinking she lives in the area.
We will be able to keep until about 2pm then will have the SPCA come pick her up.
If this is your kitty please give the office a call or pop down to the clinic.

💐Happy 2-year workiversary to one of our phenomenal RVT's Makayla 💐

Some fun facts about Makayla:

💜What's one case that has really stayed with you?
I feel like there are SO many but just to name one. A dog that came in with a stomach entirely filled with rocks.

🆘What type of case or procedure do you most enjoy working on?
I enjoy working on true emergencies, the ones that you have to work faster than you can think sometimes!

🩺What do you wish more people knew about the work you do?
I honestly wish more people understood the true responsibilities and what entails being a Veterinary Technologist as a whole. The skills, workload, critical thinking and knowledge. I feel like it is a very misunderstood career.

🐴Which species or breed do you love working with the most and why?
I love working with foals because of their goofy long legs and even bigger personalities. Oh, and heelers🙃

☕What's your go to snack or drink that gets you through a busy shift?
Tim’s steeped tea with 2 cream and goldfish.

What's a fun fact about you your coworkers might not know?
🌍✈I have travelled all over the world - Australia, all throughout Europe and there aren't many places in North America I haven't been too, to name a few.

Thank you Makayla for all your hard work, we truly appreciate all you do! 🎉
