🦊 “Excuse me, I was told this was the all-you-can-sniff buffet?”

This speckled little fox made itself right at home in the horse pasture today, happily romping around and conducting what appeared to be a very important inspection of the premises. 🧐

The horses watched. The fox explored. Nobody paid rent.

Just another normal day in the countryside! 😂

Public service announcement: if you’re assigned to ride with Dr. Aitken… you will leave with a newfound appreciation for sheep and goats. 🐑🐐

We’re starting to suspect she’s running a covert recruitment program. One farm call at a time, our veterinary students are being converted into small ruminant enthusiasts—and honestly, they never stood a chance.

Resistance is futile when there are lambs and kids involved. 💚

🎶 Turns out Dr. Aitken has a secret talent! 🪕🤠

When she’s not out on the road working with our small ruminant patients, you might find Dr. Aitken doing something a little different… playing the banjo in a bluegrass group right here in Kemptville! 🎶

Dr. Gardner recently went to check out one of her festivals and was kind enough to send the team some photos and a video — because apparently, we need proof! 😂

We already knew Dr. Aitken could handle goats… but banjo?! We’re impressed. 🪕👏

Now we’re just wondering what other hidden talents the rest of the team is keeping from us! 👀

Move over, ice cream… there’s a new favourite treat in town! 🧈🥧

Dr. Aitken and student Elodie have officially declared that butter tarts are better! We can’t say we’re surprised—it’s hard to argue with a good butter tart. 😄

Where do you stand? 🍦 Team Ice Cream or 🥧 Team Butter Tart? Let us know in the comments!

📸 Friendly reminder to the team: Once you share a photo in the group chat, it’s officially fair game for social media. 😄

Whether it’s a cute patient, a funny moment, or an accidental masterpiece, you never know what might end up making its Facebook debut!

Consider yourselves warned… and keep those photos coming! 😉🐄🐴🐑

Clifford and Donny can’t agree on much… except that it’s time for the August long weekend! 😄

🐾 Happy Farm Dog Friday! 🐾

We’re excited to introduce this week’s featured farm dog! ❤️
From his mom:
Joey came home with me as a puppy from a litter in Arizona where I teach. They wanted two, a male and a female and named them Kanga and Roo so naturally he was named Joey! Joey loves all vets, did puppy classes at RSL and eats all the things horses eat especially hay and crunch. He especially loves Dr John McKend and lately gets the zoomies when he comes! Healthy and fast for an 8 yrs old Aussie!!

Mission accomplished! 🍦🎉

Thanks to all of your helpful suggestions (and a few phone calls from clients! 😄), Dr. Keith finally tracked down Kawartha Dairy’s The Tragically Chip.

Thanks for helping solve this very important “emergency.” We hope it was worth the hunt! 🇨🇦🍁

Another summer party is in the books, and what a great afternoon and evening it was! ☀️🎉

It was so nice to step away from the farm calls, phones, and paperwork for a few hours to spend time together outside the clinic. We shared plenty of laughs, good food, and great company—something that’s not always easy when everyone is spread across the countryside caring for our clients and patients.

We’re incredibly grateful for this amazing team and all the hard work they put in every single day. Thanks to everyone who helped make it such a fun evening. Here’s to another great year together!

🎉 We’re Closing Early This Friday! 🎉

This Friday July 24th we’ll be wrapping up a little early so our team can head to our annual summer staff party!

🐄 Kemptville: Closing at 1:30 PM
🐎 Prescott: Closing at 2:00 PM

Once a year we trade coveralls, steel toes, logo scrubs and OB sleeves for something slightly more socially acceptable and spend an afternoon celebrating the people who keep RSLVS running. 🥳

Whether they’re answering phones, loading the truck, pulling calves, treating horses, or somehow surviving a group chat full of veterinarians, our team deserves a little time to relax together.

Thanks for your understanding as we close early to celebrate the amazing humans behind the clinic. We’ll be back to our regular hours on Monday!
