Fall is always bittersweet as students head off to school and start new adventures! We recently had to say “goodbye for now” to our stellar vet assistant Karlie as she started veterinary school at the University of Calgary 🥺🥰 We are so very proud and miss her already! Can’t wait to see what you do next Karlie! 🤩👩‍⚕️

A few weeks ago we had to say goodbye to our summer student Danielle 🥺 We loved having her join us on barn visits, help with postmortems, and having her present about everything she learned this summer. We hope we convinced her that production animal medicine is where it’s at 🐷🐣 Best of luck in second year of vet school Danielle! 🥳

Happy National Administrative Professionals’ Day to our fantastic admin team! It also happens to be Veterinary Receptionist Week, but these fantastic humans do so much more than reception. They assist clients, send out orders, organize events, triage emergencies, analyze data, help with reports, do all the accounting, keep the vets in check (and on top of their paperwork), help out on farm, and so much more! We could not do it without them. Next time you stop by one of the offices, make sure to say hi!
Lethbridge team: Karen, Milayna, and Laura
Red Deer team: Diana, Tracy, Courtney, Jenn, Alex, Karlie, Hailey, and Jason
