Baby hares often are brought to our clinic with the best of intentions, thinking they have been abandoned. However, this is not typically the case and can be harmful to their survival. This spring, if you see a baby hare, leave it there.

Key Reasons to Leave Baby Hares Alone:

-Normal Behavior: Mother hares only visit their young for a few minutes at dawn and dusk to avoid attracting predators.
-No Scent: Babies have no natural scent, which keeps them hidden. Human scent can attract predators.
-High Stress/Mortality: Hares are high-stress prey animals; they can die from the stress of being handled.
-Safety Strategy: They are born fully furred with eyes open and “freeze” in the face of danger, which can make them seem defenseless or injured.

When to Intervene (Contact a Professional):

-The hare has obvious, visible injuries (e.g., blood, broken limbs).
-It is in immediate, extreme danger (e.g., in a busy parking lot), in which case it can be moved to a nearby bush.
-You know the mother has been killed.

If you find an injured baby hare in Alberta, contact the WILDNorth hotline at 780-914-4118 or the Alberta Institute for Wildlife Conservation.

This week we celebrate the heart of our front desk — our incredible client care team 💙🐾

They are the calm voice when a pet is rushed through the door in an emergency.
They are the steady hands answering phones that never seem to stop ringing.
They are the compassionate souls who sit with families during the hardest goodbyes, guiding them through euthanasia decisions with kindness, patience, and understanding 🌈🐶🐱

Our client care team helps families navigate aftercare choices, answer difficult questions, and create a space where people feel supported, heard, and cared for — even on the toughest days. They balance empathy with efficiency, all while keeping the hospital running smoothly behind the scenes.

To our client care team:
Thank you for your calm in chaos.
Thank you for your compassion in grief.
Thank you for being the first smile and the last comforting word.

We appreciate you today and every day. 💐✨

We are beyond grateful for the incredible outpouring of love and generosity for Kali’s Wish. Thanks to your donations, we’re able to provide comfort through KONGs for cancer patients when they need it most. Thank you for helping make this possible. 🐾✨

🎁 Kongs for Kali is back at Boreal Veterinary Centre! 🎁
This November and December, we’re proud to once again support the KONG Toy Campaign in partnership with Kali’s Wish Cancer Foundation — Canada’s only charity dedicated to families facing pet cancer.
Here’s how your donation makes an impact:
🐾 For every $10 donated, KONG donates one toy to a dog undergoing cancer treatment or in palliative care.
💖 Your support also funds Kali’s Wish programs, bringing comfort, education, and hope to families across Canada.
Our Oncology Department deeply appreciates this campaign. These donations give our team the ability to offer families a small moment of positivity on some of their hardest days. The simple joy of a KONG toy can bring comfort, distraction, and a warm reminder that they’re not alone in their journey.
✨ Let’s keep that impact growing. Together, we can bring smiles, tail wags, and moments of joy to pets bravely fighting cancer. ✨

🍂 Thanksgiving Weekend Update 🍂

As we head into the Thanksgiving weekend, our team at Boreal wishes you and your furry family members a safe and happy holiday! 🧡

This is traditionally one of our busiest weekends of the year, and we want to thank you in advance for your patience and understanding. To make sure the sickest and most critical pets are seen first, our team will be using a triage system — much like in a human emergency room.

🐾 What this means:
• Pets with life-threatening emergencies will be treated first.
• Non-urgent cases may experience longer wait times.
• Our staff will communicate updates as often as possible.

We are incredibly thankful for our wonderful clients who trust us with their pets’ care — and equally grateful for our dedicated team members who are spending their holiday weekend here, ensuring every patient receives the care they need. 💙

We know waiting can be stressful, especially when you’re worried about your pet. Please know that our entire team is working hard to care for every patient as quickly and compassionately as possible.

From all of us at Boreal — thank you for your kindness, patience, and support. We’re so grateful for this community. 🧡
