We would like to take time to recognize our hard working student Laura who is on the home stretch in finishing the RVT program through Thompson Rivers University.

It requires hours of dedication to complete this three-year open-learning diploma.

She is seen here completing her on-site large animal portion of the program.

You can enrich the life of your senior cat by making a few simple adjustments.

Change their litter box to one that has more surface area and lower sides making it easier for them to climb in.

Designate quiet areas where your cat can relax without disturbance.

Provide steps to help your cat reach favorite perches they can no longer jump to.

Does your pup like to cool off in the lake on hot summer days? Before taking a dip, make sure it's safe by checking for water advisories. Harmful bacteria such as blue-green algae (learn more here: https://www.ontario.ca/page/blue-green-algae) water levels and currents may make some bodies of water unsuitable for swimming. Always supervise your pet and keep safety in mind.
