RVT Spotlight, Say hello to Lily!💜

Lily came to us during her Veterinary Technology externship with Dalhousie University in 2022 and upon graduation, joined our team in the spring of 2023.

Lily is driven, compassionate and can always be relied upon to offer assistance to other members of our team. She acts decisively and keeps a cool head in high stress situations so it comes as no surprise that she has a strong interest in emergency medicine, as well as dentistry and small animal surgery.

Outside of work you’ll find Lily listening to Taylor Swift’s latest single, researching her latest true crime deep dive or training and racing her horses at the Inverness Raceway.🐎

We are so fortunate to have Lily as part of our BVC and SVH team!

Notice Regarding New Clinic Software 🖥️🐾

Next week we will be making the switch to a new veterinary practice management software. The new program will enable us to further enhance client services and patient care.

During your next visit, you may be asked to add, update or confirm the mailing address, phone number(s) and email associated with your account. We may also ask you to send us a photo of your pet to add to their file!

We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we adjust to our new system.

"Within hours after the attacks of Sept. 11, thousands of rescue workers from across America deployed to ground zero to help in the search and rescue efforts. Joining the endeavor were dogs specially trained in search and rescue, police work, therapy and comfort. It is estimated that more than 300 dogs took part in the search, rescue and recovery efforts at ground zero."
