Nessie is a good example of why we never say never to dog parks. They can be the best thing ever for some dogs and their humans!

What a wonderful community of both humans and canines 🐶 🐕 I have been introduced to at the Aberdeen small dog park since relocating to Kamloops in September. I am beyond thrilled to feature some of the adorable pups 🐾 I have met so far. Introducing Nessie a gorgeous Cairn Terrier who is almost 3 years old. She is named after the mythical creature in Scottish folklore. Every morning she and her human Dad head to the park so Nessie can play with her friends. She loves to have her orange ball KICKED…NOT THROWN for her to chase and return. She is full of personality and I am told she doesn’t have family…she has “staff.” 😆 In the summer months she enjoys time on both Stump and Sheridan Lake. 🚤 While there Nessie supervises all the activities that her humans are enjoying. Break out the party hats 🥳 and blow up some balloons 🎈 🎈 because it’s time to celebrate Nessie being named Postman Dean’s Dog of the Day. Congratulations! 👏

Take care of your pets!

Take care of your pets!

Research has suggested that nearly half of dogs are fearful of loud noises such as fireworks, thunderstorms and gunshots, while almost 80 per cent of horses show anxious behaviour during fireworks displays. ⁠
⁠
Pets don’t understand Halloween. Loud fireworks, constant doorbells and strangers in costumes, it can be terrifying. Here's your reminder to:⁠
⁠
➡️Ensure your pet has at least two forms of identification in case they go missing. Pets should have a collar with tags and an ear tattoo or a microchip registered with the BC Pet Registry.⁠
⁠
➡️Keep your pet indoors. Be mindful when you’re opening the door to hand out candy, as your pet may try to escape. A lot of calls to the BC SPCA’s NEP are because a dog or cat has slipped past their guardian to escape through an open door.⁠
⁠
➡️If you must take your dog outside to relieve themselves, make sure they are wearing a collar and tags, with a leash attached to a harness if your dog is comfortable wearing one. Hold tight to the leash, even in your backyard, to prevent them from bolting.⁠
⁠
Send this early reminder to fellow pawrents in your life.

This is an excellent idea! If you live in the area we highly recommend you prepare for a possible emergency by completing this form.

As the long weekend approaches, we wanted to let everyone about a new system we are implementing into our hospital. We understand how scary and challenging it can be when you are away from your animals and they experience an emergency while in the care of a pet sitter/house-sitter/boarding facility. Communicating with the veterinary team is sometimes not possible if you are on route or out of service.

We are now offering the ability to pre-fill out of a form which can be dropped off at our hospital. The "Absent Owner Form" allows you to fill out relevant information regarding who can make medical decisions, specifics of travel and contact, wishes if the animal needs to be hospitalized, budget for care, credit card information, and insurance information.

This form can be found on our website under the "New Clients" tab, please see below! If you have any specific questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to our team at 236-766-0450.
