Did you know that Riverview Animal Health Centre is home to one of eight practicing Board-Certified Veterinary Behaviourists? 🐾

Last month, we were proud to host a continuing education event featuring Dr. Pierrette Mercier, welcoming more than 70 veterinary professionals from across the region for an evening dedicated to understanding and managing fearful and aggressive behaviour in dogs and cats.

Behaviour concerns can be challenging for both pets and their families. Whether it's fear, anxiety, aggression, difficulty handling, or other behavioural changes, these issues can have a significant impact on quality of life for everyone involved. Through advanced training in veterinary behaviour medicine, Dr. Mercier works with pet owners and veterinary teams to better understand these behaviours and develop treatment plans tailored to each patient.

We're passionate about helping pets live happier, less stressful lives, and we're equally committed to sharing knowledge with veterinary professionals throughout our community.

A special thank you to GreyWolf Animal Health for helping make this event possible, and to all 70 attendees who joined us for an incredible evening of learning and discussion.

If you're a pet owner interested in behavioural support, or a veterinary professional looking to refer a case, we'd love to connect.

🐾 Movember has arrived at Riverview Animal Health Centre! 🐾

This month, members of our team are showing their support for Movember by sporting real moustaches, stick-on staches, and plenty of team spirit to help raise awareness for men’s mental health, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer.

We’re grateful to have a team that gets behind important causes, and we’d be remiss if we didn’t recognize one of our most enthusiastic supporters, Mew, who’s sporting an impressive moustache of his own! 😸👨🏻

Join us in cheering on our Movember participants as they grow their moustaches, start conversations, and support a great cause throughout the month.

✨ Celebrating Our Veterinary Technicians ✨

As Veterinary Technician Month comes to a close, we want to take a moment to recognize the 36 incredible Veterinary Technicians who make up our In-Hospital, Emergency, General Practice, Exotics, Support, and Leadership teams.

Every day, they are the calm in an emergency, the comfort during recovery, the advocate for their patients, and the steady support behind every successful outcome. They monitor critical patients, assist with complex procedures, educate pet owners, provide compassionate care, coordinate treatment plans, and work tirelessly to ensure every patient receives the exceptional care they deserve.

Whether caring for a beloved family dog, a critically ill cat, an exotic species, or supporting the countless moving pieces behind the scenes, our technicians bring expertise, dedication, resilience, and heart to everything they do.

Throughout Veterinary Technician Month, we had the privilege of celebrating this amazing team with scavenger hunts, treats, games, special events, and appreciation gifts. While the festivities have been fun, they are only a small reflection of the gratitude we feel every day for the remarkable work these professionals do.

To our technicians: thank you for the long hours, the quick thinking, the compassion, the advocacy, the technical skill, and the unwavering commitment you show to your patients, clients, and teammates.

You are an essential part of who we are, and we are better because of you. ❤️

Please join us in thanking our Veterinary Technician team for all they do!

💚 World Mental Health Day | October 10 💚

In a busy emergency, referral and wellness hospital, it can be easy to put ourselves last. Between caring for patients, supporting clients and showing up for one another, taking a moment to pause and check in with ourselves can sometimes fall to the bottom of the list.

Today, our Wellbeing Champion Shelley treated the team to some healthy snacks as a small reminder that taking care of ourselves matters, too. 💚

Veterinary medicine is an incredibly rewarding profession, but it also comes with unique emotional demands that can impact our mental health and wellbeing. That’s why these conversations, the little moments of connection, and the reminders to take a breath are so important.

Mental health matters today, tomorrow and every day. Let’s continue to look out for one another, make space for honest conversations, and remember that caring for the people behind the care is just as important as caring for our patients. 🐾

✨ Meet Jasmine! ✨

This beautiful girl came to see Dr. Jessie for a beak and nail trim — and she was an absolute superstar!

At 24 years old, Jasmine has plenty of personality and clearly knows how to work the camera! She was so well-behaved for her visit and even posed for some beautiful photos, with Mum serving as the perfect perch.

We think you’ll agree… she is quite the beauty!

Way to go, Jasmine! 💛💙💚

🐰 Exciting News for Exotic Pet Owners! 🦜

For years, Riverview Animal Health Centre has provided emergency care for exotic pets when they needed us most. Today, we're excited to enhance those services with the launch of Exotic Services with Dr. Jessie Vandenbruggen.

Dr. Jessie has dedicated her veterinary career to the care of exotic animals. During her veterinary training, she completed externships in multiple countries, gaining hands-on experience with a wide variety of exotic species and learning alongside veterinarians with diverse areas of expertise from around the world.

She then completed a three-year residency focused exclusively on exotic companion animal medicine and surgery and remained with the service in a clinical supervisory role, continuing to manage advanced medical and surgical cases while helping train veterinary students and interns.

Whether you share your life with a rabbit, parrot, bearded dragon, ferret, hedgehog, hamster, rat, guinea pig, sugar glider, fish, or another companion exotic animal, Dr. Jessie is dedicated to providing advanced care tailored to their unique needs.

Our exotic services include:

✨ Wellness & Preventive Care
✨ Husbandry, Behaviour & Nutrition Consultations
