🎃👻 Happy Halloween from all of us at Green Acres Animal Hospital! 🧡

Some of us got into the spooky spirit yesterday, and we hope everyone has a safe, fun-filled Halloween tonight!

While you're out trick-or-treating and enjoying all the festivities, here are a few tips to keep your four-legged family members safe:

🐾 Keep the candy away! Chocolate, xylitol (found in some sugar-free treats), and other Halloween goodies can be dangerous for pets.

🐾 Watch those doorways! With the door opening frequently for trick-or-treaters, make sure your pets are safely tucked away so they don't make a spooky escape!

🐾 Costume comfort matters! If your pet is dressing up, make sure their costume fits properly, doesn't restrict movement or breathing, and that they're comfortable wearing it.

🐾 Glow in the dark! If you're taking your dog out after dark, use reflective gear or a light-up collar to help keep them visible.

🐾 Decorate with care! Keep candles, cords, and tempting decorations out of reach of curious paws and noses.

From our Green Acres family to yours, have a spook-tacular Halloween! Stay safe, have fun, and don't let the candy monsters get your pets! 🧡🐶🐱

🎃🧡 Just a little October magic for our favourite RVTs! 🧡🎃

Starbucks, boo baskets, a clinic-wide prize hunt, and a team lunch… we’ve been busy spoiling our crew this RVT Month! ☕👻🎁

We’ve also loved introducing our RVTs to all of you through our Behind the Scrubs quiz posts! 🩺🐾 If you’ve been following along, you’ve had the chance to get to know the amazing people behind the scrubs and learn a little more about the personalities, passions, and fun facts that make each of them so special. ❤️

Our RVTs do SO much for our patients, clients, and team, and we’re incredibly lucky to have this amazing bunch in our corner. They deserve all the treats (and maybe a few tricks 😉)!

Happy RVT Month to our wonderful team and RVTs everywhere!

10/28/2026

Nothing but love, pride, and immense gratitude for all our RVTs across VCA Canada.

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

We couldn't do what we do without you. 💙

🍂 Fall is in full force at Green Acres! 🍂

Our team’s furry family members have been enjoying the cooler weather, crunchy leaves, and obviously posing for the camera. 🐾

We may spend our days caring for your pets, but behind the scenes, we’re also a team of very dedicated pet parents. ❤️

Chase (owned by Julie), Quinn (owned by Adriana), and Goomba (owned by Alison) always have so much playing outside together! They help remind us that it is important to take a stretch break and to get some fresh air during the busy work day.

Just like our own health checkups with the doctor or the dentist, wellness exams are essential for your cat or dog's lifelong health.

👁️ Clear eyes and ears
🦷 Teeth and gums
🩺 Heart and lungs
🐾 Joint mobility and weight
➕ and much more

🧡 Behind the Scrubs: Meet Caylee! 🧡

We're wrapping up our RVT Month series by getting to know the people behind the scrubs a little better! Last but certainly not least is Caylee, one of our amazing RVTs.

We asked her five very important questions…

1. If you weren't an RVT, what would you be doing?
A zookeeper!

2. What is your most irrational pet peeve at work?
Don't touch my mess — it's mine! 😂 Basically, when people clean up after me before I'm finished with it.

3. If you could have any animal as a pet — no practical considerations allowed — what would you choose?
A whole zoo! 🦁🐒🦓

4. What is your go-to workday snack or drink?
Popcorn! 🍿

5. What is the most rewarding part of your job?
Working with this amazing team. ❤️

We may have discovered a theme with our RVTs… apparently several of them would happily trade the clinic for a zoo, and Caylee has simply decided to skip the “one animal” limitation altogether. 😂

We're so lucky to have Caylee and the rest of our incredible RVT team at Green Acres. 🧡

If your fur baby turns into a trembling puddle (maybe a spicy? puddle🌶️) at the mention of the "V-E-T", you’re not alone, and you don't have to navigate it alone, either. 🥺

Pet anxiety around vet visits is real, but vet care doesn’t have to be stressful. At VCA Canada, fear-free care begins long before you walk through our doors.

🐾 A Calm, Gentle Approach to Vet Visits: We move at your pet's pace with quiet exam rooms, dedicated "sniffaris," and gentle touches.
🐾 Thorough Follow-Ups: We check in after your appointment to hear how your pet is resting and make notes for an even smoother visit next time.

Every pet is unique, and personalized care makes all the difference for pets and their people. 🐕🐈

🐾 Meet of Vet et Nous | Myriam: Big Hearts, Small Footprints 🐾

Working in a high-volume emergency and specialty hospital comes with the reality of waste. Patient care relies heavily on single-use items, sterile packaging, and substantial resources. And while the scale of waste in clinical settings can feel discouraging, Myriam Doré, a Team Leader and Animal Health Technician (TSA) at Centres Vétérinaires - Laval, Montréal, Rive-Sud, focuses on practical, attainable solutions within the team’s direct control.

Many people look at the climate crisis and think, “I’m just one person, what difference can I make?”

Myriam chose a different answer: start small, right where you stand.

"I think if we just pause and look around us, we’d realize we can all do a little more for the environment," Myriam shares. "Whether at home or at the clinic, we all share an ecological responsibility. People often assume living sustainably is intimidating or complicated, but it really looks harder than it actually is."

Instead of waiting for an overnight revolution, Myriam began weaving gentle, daily habits into the culture of Rive-Sud. One thoughtful choice at a time, she turned small intentions into everyday realities:

♻️ Reclaiming worn blankets and towels that still have plenty of warmth to give.
📦 Sorting and rerouting surplus supplies and pet food directly to local rescue organizations where resources are stretched thin.
👕 Building a reused uniform closet within the hospital so quality scrubs find a second, third, and fourth life instead of ending up in a landfill.

Her team will tell you that Myriam never lectures; she leads by example. Her quiet optimism is infectious, showing everyone around her that eco-conscious care isn't about being perfectly zero-waste; it’s about doing what you can with what you have, every single day.

"Small daily gestures, repeated consistently, create real ripples for our planet and the generations coming after us. Caring for the earth isn't extra work, it's just another way of caring for the animals we love."

Drop a 💙 in the comments to show Myriam some love for inspiring us to tread a little lighter and love a little deeper!
