Today we’re celebrating Kaitlyn, the newest addition to our amazing RVT team! ✨
Kaitlyn joined us this fall, and she has already become such a joyful part of our clinic—kind, hilarious, and truly exceptional at what she does. She brings laughter to our days and compassion to every patient she meets.

With a strong interest in surgery and emergency medicine, Kaitlin has been a natural fit for our Urgent Care team. We’re so grateful to have her talent, positivity, and big heart in our clinic. 💙

🎉It is also Kaitlyn's BIRTHDAY today! Please join us in thanking her and wishing her a happy birthday in the comments!

We asked Kaitlyn some questions so you could get to know her better:
What was your very first pet’s name, and what kind of animal were they? Brandy and she was a mixed breed dog 🐶

Go-to Starbucks order? Salted caramel cold brew 🧋

What’s one thing you can’t live without at work? Fine tip special pen

What’s your favorite thing about working in veterinary medicine? My favourite thing about vet med is anesthesia and being able to provide the best care possible to every patient

If you weren’t working in vet med, what other career might you have pursued? I honestly can’t picture myself doing anything other than vet med I really love the field but maybe sport rehabilitation.

Cold Weather Safety for Your Pets ❄️

We resisted the snow for long enough, and now it seems to be here for good. It’s important to make sure your pets stay safe in this cold weather! Here are a few easy winter tips to help protect them in the cold:

🐕 Limit Outdoor Time: Pets can develop frostbite or hypothermia, so keep outings short and make sure they have warm, comfy spots indoors.
🐾 Protect Their Paws: Snow, ice, and salt can be tough on paws. Pet-safe booties are great for winter walks, and don’t forget to rinse and dry paws afterward.
🧥 Layer Up: Short-haired, senior, or sensitive pets often benefit from a warm coat or sweater when heading outside.
🚗 Check Your Car: Cats may curl up under car hoods for warmth—always give your hood a tap before starting the engine.

Let’s help our furry friends stay happy, warm, and healthy all winter long! 🐱❄️

✨Today we’re celebrating Katie, one of our fabulous RVTs! Katie’s attention to detail, passion for feline medicine, and dedication to fear-free care make her an incredible asset to our team—and a true champion for every cat she meets. Her warm heart, calming presence, and killer dry humour make her someone we can always rely on, and we’re so grateful to have her. 💕🐱

Today we pause to remember and honour those who have served and sacrificed for our freedom.

On this Remembrance Day, we reflect on the courage, dedication, and selflessness of veterans—both human and animal—who stood by their comrades in times of need.

We are forever grateful. Lest we forget. 🌹

November is Senior Wellness month! ✨
Though we typically see your pets when they have an acute medical condition, we still care about their overall wellbeing. It is important to take your senior pets in to your regular veterinarian at least annually to do a wellness exam!

🐾 As pets get older, their bodies go through changes that aren’t always visible on the outside. Senior wellness bloodwork helps us catch early signs of disease—such as kidney, liver, or thyroid issues—before symptoms appear.

✨ Early detection means earlier treatment, better quality of life, and often a longer, happier time with your furry friend. Ask your vet about scheduling senior wellness testing for your pet today! ❤️

11/04/2025

✨Today we’re celebrating our amazing RVT, Dani! Her energy, humour, and love for animals brighten every single day at the clinic. 🐾

Dani is passionate about emergency care, anesthesia, and fear-free medicine—and she treats every pet like her own. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her many animals, family, and friends (often with her adventure cat, Stuart, by her side!). 💙

Dani is currently on maternity leave, but we can't wait to have her back next year!
