🐕 We came, we saw, we wagged! 🐕

Community outreach and support is at the heart of what we do, and we were so proud to show up for 's pets and their families for the 2026 Canine Carnival.

Thanks to our national philanthropic program here at , and our amazing teams and volunteers from VCA Canada Jackson Creek Animal Hospital, we were able to provide dog & cat (fully by donation), with 100% of proceeds going to the wonderful Lions Dog Guides foundation! 🦮

As well as FREE bags of premium pet food, helping ensure every local furry family member has access to nutritious meals.

By partnering with local agencies and our food partners like Royal Canin, we are taking active, compassionate steps toward engaging the entire community in Helping People Make Pets’ Lives Better.

Thank you to everyone who came out, donated, and celebrated the beautiful bond we share with our pets. Let's keep working together to keep all pets happy, healthy, and safe! 💙

If you had only 5 minutes to evacuate your home, would you have everything your pet needs to stay safe and healthy? 🐾🎒

Here is a quick, veterinarian-approved checklist of what to pack in a waterproof container or backpack:

🫗 Food & Water: A 7 day - 2 week supply of non-perishable food (and a manual can opener if using wet food) + plenty of fresh bottled water.

⚕️ Medical Essentials: A 2-week supply of any daily medications + a basic pet first-aid kit (gauze, vet wrap, antiseptic wipes, and tweezers).

🪪 Proof of ID & Records: Physical copies of vaccination records, your microchip registry number, and a printed photo of you with your pet (in case you are separated).

🐾 Safety Gear: An extra collar/harness with up-to-date ID tags, a sturdy leash, and a secure carrier for transport.

💩 Sanitation & Comfort: P**p bags (for dogs), a small container of litter/tray (for cats), paper towels, and a familiar blanket or toy to help soothe their anxiety.

✨ Pro-Tip: Set a repeating calendar reminder twice a year (like when the clocks change) to check expiration dates on your pet's food and medicine in the bag!

We would like to extend our sincerest appreciation to our outstanding Veterinary Assistants, Grace, Calista, and our part-time team members, for their dedication during Veterinary Assistant Appreciation Week. Their tireless efforts in supporting our Veterinarians and RVTs are truly valued, as they provide comfort to anxious animals, prepare medications with precision, and process lab samples efficiently. Additionally, their exceptional attention to detail ensures the clinic remains spotless following appointments, treatments, and surgical procedures. We gratefully acknowledge their hard work and commitment.

🐾 👀 Are my pet’s eyes supposed to look like that? 👀🐾

As a veterinary team, we see pet parents searching for eye health advice all the time. From mysterious "eye boogers" to sudden changes in how your furry family member navigates the living room, eye health can feel incredibly stressful.

To save you a late-night Google rabbit hole, our medical team has broken down some of the top things you actually need to look out for:

👁️ The "Cloudy" Question: Notice a hazy blue or grey tint in your senior pet’s eyes? While many owners immediately worry about cataracts, it is often a normal, painless aging change called nuclear sclerosis. However, only a veterinarian can tell the difference and ensure their vision stays protected!

👁️ The Nighttime Stumble: Pets are masters at hiding vision loss. Often, the very first sign of a problem isn't physical, it’s behavioural. If your dog or cat is suddenly hesitating on the stairs, bumping into furniture in low light, or refusing to jump on the bed at night, their vision might be changing.

👁️ The Discharge Decoder: Clear or slight white tearing can be normal allergies or dust. But if you notice your pet squinting, rubbing their face, or producing yellow or green discharge, it’s a clear signal from their body that it’s time to see a professional.

Clear, comfortable eyes are vital to your pet's quality of life. If you’ve noticed any changes in your pet's eyes or behaviour, don't guess at home, let our experienced team take a look.

To all our Veterinary Assistants,

🐾 You are the person holding the anxious pet close so they feel safe during an exam.
🐾 You are the one resetting the treatment room in a flash, anticipating exactly what the technician or veterinarian needs before they even ask.
🐾 Your hands are steady, your stamina is unmatched, and your impact reaches every corner of our hospitals.

From the messy, fast-paced moments of an emergency to the soft, heavy silence of a hard goodbye, you hold the floor together.

So, to every Veterinary Assistant across , we see the dirt(?💩), the sweat, the tears, and the absolute heart you pour into this job daily. And we don't just notice your work, we notice how we honestly couldn't do this without you. 💙

Happy Week!

Here's to another year of love, slobbery kisses, and tail wags! Happy 12th Birthday Ziva, our CSR Amanda's amazing senio...
