We’re wrapping up our RVT Month spotlights with a big welcome back and celebration for Cara! 💖

We recently welcomed Cara back from maternity leave, and we couldn’t be happier to have her bright, sunny energy back at AprilVets Bayers Lake! With extensive experience in both general practice and ER medicine, Cara is always up for a challenge and is truly doing exactly what she was meant to do. 🩺✨ While she is an incredible RVT, her most important job of all is being Mom to her two wonderful boys!

At home, Cara stays busy with her family, including two adorable cats and a sweet, giant Newfoundland/Bernese Mountain Dog mix. When she’s not at the clinic, she loves spending time outdoors, heading to the beach, and hunting for a great thrift store find 🌊🏖️🛍️. And if you have a Pug, you’ll definitely make her day—she’s our resident #1 Pug lover!

Thank you, Cara, for bringing so much skill, happiness, and heart to our team every single day. We are so lucky to have you! 💚

Thank you to everyone who followed along as we celebrated our amazing RVTs this month—we couldn’t do what we do without this incredible team! 🐾

Our RVT Month celebrations continue today with a spotlight on Courtney! 💖

If you’ve stepped through our doors or called the clinic, you likely know Courtney’s welcoming face at the front desk—but did you know she’s also a Registered Veterinary Technician? Courtney is a huge reason AprilVets Bayers Lake runs so smoothly every single day. From managing food and medication orders to answering client questions and supporting pets from the moment they walk in, her medical background and organizational skills keep everything seamlessly on track. 🩺📦

At home, Courtney is the most doting cat mom to fan favorites Matilda and Frankie 🐈‍⬛. She also holds a huge soft spot for German Shepherds—so if you have a GSD, you know they’ll be greeted with extra love when Courtney is up front!

Thank you, Courtney, for your incredible dedication, multi-tasking skills, and for taking such amazing care of our clients and patients. We are so thankful for you! 💚

RVT Month Spotlight: Griffin 🐾✨
Our RVT Month celebrations continue with a spotlight on Griffin, our incredible Exotics Lead RVT! 🦎🐰✨

Griffin is an absolute wealth of knowledge when it comes to caring for species of all kinds—from lizards and fish to bunnies and beyond!

He’s always full of fascinating fun facts and is constantly up for a challenge. Beyond his expertise in exotics, Griffin plays a huge role in keeping our patients safe as our primary RVT monitoring anesthesia during dental procedures, ensuring every pet receives the gentlest, highest-quality care while in surgery. 🩺

When he’s not at AprilVets Bayers Lake, Griffin loves spending his time outdoors exploring new places and soaking in nature 🌲🥾.

We are truly so lucky to have Griffin on our team! Thank you for your dedication, vast knowledge, and endless care for every animal that comes through our doors! 💚

🐾🩺 Investing in the future of veterinary medicine!

We’re proud to share a special moment of community support! ❤️

Together, AprilVets Bayers Lake, AprilVets Dartmouth Crossing and AprilVets Mumford Road joined forces to gift a stethoscope to each of the 12 students beginning their journey in the SPCA’s Veterinary Technician Program.

As locally owned veterinary hospitals, we believe in giving back to the community we’re part of and supporting the next generation of veterinary professionals. These students are taking their first steps toward becoming Registered Veterinary Technicians (RVTs), and we’re honoured to play a small part in their journey.

To all 12 students, congratulations on this exciting new chapter! We’re cheering you on and wishing you every success as you learn, grow, and prepare to make a difference in the lives of animals and the people who love them. 🐾❤️

Because a stronger veterinary community starts with supporting one another.

📦 Keeping track of inventory
📋 Writing medical notes & keeping everything running smoothly
🧹 Maintaining a squeaky-clean, safe environment
🐾 And most importantly... offering endless cuddles, comfort, and care to your beloved pets (and reassurance to their humans, too!).

Our clinic simply couldn't run without their dedication, heart, expertise, and endless versatility.

Outside of work, Brittany lives in Halifax with her handsome cat, Gerald, and loves spending her free time reading or catching live music 📚🎶.
