Summer Reminder from The Hub! 🐾

The Hub is proud to be a dog-friendly shopping centre and we love seeing your furry friends visit us!

As the temperatures rise, we kindly remind all shoppers not to leave their dogs in parked cars, even for a short amount of time. On hot days, car interiors can become dangerously hot in minutes, even if the windows are cracked.

Instead, bring your pup inside to cool off while you shop!
Many of our retailers are happy to welcome well-behaved, leashed dogs.

Let’s keep our pets safe, happy, and hydrated this summer! ☀️

We’re finally getting some beautiful warm weather - but remember, the heat can also be really tough on our pets.

Every summer we see pets come in overheated and dehydrated, and it can happen much faster than people expect. Even a quick walk, a long car ride, or too much time playing outside can be enough... especially hot days.

A few easy reminders:
💧 Bring water everywhere
🌳 Make sure they’ve got shade and a cool place to rest
🐾 Check the pavement before walks (if it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for their paws!)
🚗 Never leave pets in the car, even “just for a minute”

If your pet seems extra tired, is panting heavily, drooling a lot, vomiting, or just not acting like themselves, don’t wait to get them checked out.

We want everyone enjoying the sunshine safely this summer 💙

Meet Milo 🐾✨

This sweet 8-week-old GSP gave his family quite a scare after unfortunately tearing his dewclaw completely from the bone. His mom brought him to Galaxy Vets for emergency care, where he quickly stole the hearts of our team with his gentle personality and those irresistible puppy eyes (I mean, come onnnn… just look at him 🥺).

As a special highlight, Milo’s mom has Trupanion , and was able to direct bill his claim right at our front desk. Being able to ease a little bit of the financial stress during such an emotional visit meant Mom could focus on what mattered most — comforting her brave little guy while he received the care he needed.

We’re happy to report Milo did amazing for his laceration repair and is now on the road to recovery 💙

Veterinary medicine becomes more than a career somewhere along the line. It weaves itself into your life — into your friendships, your home, your heart. The love we have for these animals follows us long after the scrubs come off.

Because we know they’re never “just a pet.” They’re the ones waiting by the door after a hard day, the quiet comfort during life’s heaviest moments, the childhood best friends, the soul pets, the reason people keep going sometimes.

So when they hurt, we feel it too. And when they heal, we celebrate right alongside you.

Follow us through an exploratory laparotomy — aka foreign body surgery — and recovery, as we care for one very loved patient every step of the way. 🐾

Our RVT Taygan proving that veterinary medicine isn’t always the glamorous side of animal care 😂🤢

Caught in the middle of inducing vomiting on a pup who decided onions and chocolate were on the menu… while also trying not to throw up herself.

The job may be gross sometimes, but quick vomit induction after certain toxic ingestions can make a huge difference for our patients… even if it means sacrificing our dignity in the process 🤩🤭

Place an intravenous (IV) catheter with me 🩺✨

IV catheters are one of the most common tools we use in veterinary medicine! They give us quick, reliable access to a vein so we can administer medications, fluids, sedation, anesthesia, or emergency treatments safely and efficiently.

Having an IV catheter in place means we can respond faster if your pet needs urgent care, keep them hydrated during procedures, and reduce the stress of repeated needle pokes. 💙

Placement is a quick, sterile procedure performed by our trained team, and pets are closely monitored throughout the process to keep them as comfortable and safe as possible.

Tiny catheter, big safety net. 🐾

Yesterday was World Veterinary Day 🤍

This field asks a lot of the people in it—long hours, heavy hearts, and moments that stay with you long after the shift ends. It’s no secret that mental health struggles are real in this industry.

But so is the love.

The love we have for our patients, for their people, and for each other. The quiet support, the shared laughs, the small wins that mean everything. Even on the hardest days, there’s connection, compassion, and a deep sense of purpose that keeps us going.

This video is a glimpse into that—into the heart behind the work.

To everyone in vet med: you are seen, you are valued, and what you do matters more than words can say 🐾🤍

Meet the voices behind the phone calls 📞✨

As part of Veterinary Receptionist Week, we’re highlighting our virtual reception team... the people working behind the scenes to keep everything running smoothly. From answering your calls and guiding urgent cases, to keeping each clinic connected and organized, they’re a constant support throughout the day.

Even though you may never see them in person, their impact is felt in every appointment booked, every question answered, and every patient helped. We are so lucky and thankful to have them in our galaxy!!

This week we’re celebrating a group that most of our clients never see, but the in-clinic teams feel their impact every single shift: our virtual reception team 💻🐾

They’re the calm voice on the other end of the line when things feel stressful. The ones juggling multiple clinics at once, somehow keeping everyone organized, informed, and moving in the same direction. They’re answering questions, coordinating care, flagging urgent cases, and making sure nothing, and no one, falls through the cracks.

Even though they’re spread out across different places, they’re a huge part of what makes our clinics feel connected. They keep our teams communicating, our workflows smoother, and our patients getting where they need to be faster.

It’s not always visible work, but it’s constant, and it matters more than most people realize.

We genuinely couldn’t do this without you. Thank you for being the steady thread that holds it all together. 💙
