Some patients leave a little paw print on our hearts, and Harley is certainly one of them. ❤️🐾

Harley had an advanced CT scan as part of her journey to help us better understand what has been making life difficult for this little girl. Seeing such tiny patients go through big adventures is alway special.

Advanced diagnostic tools like CT scans allow us to look beyond what we can see on the outside, helping us gather valuable information so that every patient has the best possible chance of receiving the right care.

What touched us most was watching Harley's family do absolutely everything they could for her. The love, dedication, and willingness to go the extra mile for a beloved pet is something truly special, and we feel incredibly privileged to be part of that journey.

Thank you for trusting us with your precious girl, Harley. We are all rooting for you, sweet girl. 💕🐶

❤️ The Greatest Privilege ❤️

Every patient who walks through our doors becomes so much more than just a patient.

From those tiny first vaccinations, through the mischievous puppy and kitten years, to adulthood and into their golden years, we have the privilege of watching them grow alongside the families who love them.

We celebrate the happy moments—the wagging tails, the wet kisses, the recovery after surgery, and the excitement of every healthy check-up. We also stand beside our families during the hardest days, offering comfort, compassion, and a gentle hand when hearts are breaking.

These beautiful souls become part of our family too. We laugh with them, worry about them, fight for them, and love them as if they were our own.

Moments like this remind us why we do what we do. ❤️

Thank you for trusting us to care for your beloved companions through every stage of their lives. It is a responsibility we never take for granted.

With love,
Dr Jenna & Cooper 🐾❤️

💜 Brave Little Sophia 💜

Meet our very brave patient, Sophia, who underwent a toe amputation after a tumour was found involving her toenail bed.

The surgery went very well, and Sophia was an absolute superstar throughout the entire procedure. She is now recovering comfortably and looking incredibly adorable with her purple bandage! 🐾💜

Although losing a toe may sound daunting, dogs adapt remarkably well and are usually back to running, playing, and enjoying life once they've healed.

We'd like to wish sweet Sophia a smooth, speedy recovery. Thank you to her wonderful family for trusting us with her care.

Please join us in sending Sophia lots of love and well wishes in the comments! 💜🐶

🦷 A Healthy Mouth = A Healthier, Happier Pet! ❤️

Take a look at this amazing transformation after a professional dental procedure at Abbotsford Veterinary Clinic!

The difference isn't just cosmetic—it can have a huge impact on your pet's overall health and quality of life.
Did you know that over 80% of dogs and cats older than 3 years have some degree of dental disease?

Dental disease is much more than bad breath. It can cause:
🦷 Pain and discomfort
🩸 Bleeding gums
🦠 Infection
🍽️ Difficulty eating
🦷 Loose or missing teeth
❤️ Damage to the heart, liver and kidneys as bacteria enter the bloodstream

Signs your pet may need a dental check-up:
• Bad breath
• Yellow or brown tartar build-up
• Red, swollen or bleeding gums
• Dropping food or difficulty chewing
• Excessive drooling
• Pawing at the mouth
• Reluctance to eat hard food

The good news? Dental disease is both preventable and treatable with regular dental examinations, professional cleanings and appropriate home care.

If your pet has bad breath, chances are it's not normal—it's often the first sign of dental disease.

🐾 Healthy teeth. Healthy pets. Longer lives. 🦷

🐾 Rebel's Road to Recovery! 🐾

Meet the beautiful Rebel, who recently underwent a cystotomy (bladder surgery) to remove a bladder stone that was causing her discomfort.

Bladder stones can lead to pain, difficulty urinating, blood in the urine, and even life-threatening urinary blockages if left untreated. Thankfully, Rebel's surgery went smoothly, and she's now on the road to a full recovery! 💙

She has been an absolute superstar throughout her treatment, and we're so proud of how well she's doing. We can't wait to see her back to her happy, playful self!
