💚 World Mental Health Day | October 10 💚

In a busy emergency, referral and wellness hospital, it can be easy to put ourselves last. Between caring for patients, supporting clients and showing up for one another, taking a moment to pause and check in with ourselves can sometimes fall to the bottom of the list.

Today, our Wellbeing Champion Shelley treated the team to some healthy snacks as a small reminder that taking care of ourselves matters, too. 💚

Veterinary medicine is an incredibly rewarding profession, but it also comes with unique emotional demands that can impact our mental health and wellbeing. That’s why these conversations, the little moments of connection, and the reminders to take a breath are so important.

Mental health matters today, tomorrow and every day. Let’s continue to look out for one another, make space for honest conversations, and remember that caring for the people behind the care is just as important as caring for our patients. 🐾

What a weekend at the Maritime Reptile & Pet Expo! 🐍🦎🐰

We had such a great time connecting with pet owners, meeting fellow exhibitors, answering questions, and sharing all things exotic animal health!

✨ Meet Jasmine! ✨

This beautiful girl came to see Dr. Jessie for a beak and nail trim — and she was an absolute superstar!

At 24 years old, Jasmine has plenty of personality and clearly knows how to work the camera! She was so well-behaved for her visit and even posed for some beautiful photos, with Mum serving as the perfect perch.

We think you’ll agree… she is quite the beauty!

Way to go, Jasmine! 💛💙💚

🐰 Exciting News for Exotic Pet Owners! 🦜

For years, Riverview Animal Health Centre has provided emergency care for exotic pets when they needed us most. Today, we're excited to enhance those services with the launch of Exotic Services with Dr. Jessie Vandenbruggen.

Dr. Jessie has dedicated her veterinary career to the care of exotic animals. During her veterinary training, she completed externships in multiple countries, gaining hands-on experience with a wide variety of exotic species and learning alongside veterinarians with diverse areas of expertise from around the world.

After graduating from veterinary school in 2020, she completed a zoological medicine internship in Belgium, followed by a specialty internship with the Zoo, Exotics and Wildlife Service at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in Saskatoon. She then completed a three-year residency focused exclusively on exotic companion animal medicine and surgery and remained with the service in a clinical supervisory role, continuing to manage advanced medical and surgical cases while helping train veterinary students and interns.

Whether you share your life with a rabbit, parrot, bearded dragon, ferret, hedgehog, hamster, rat, guinea pig, sugar glider, fish, or another companion exotic animal, Dr. Jessie is dedicated to providing advanced care tailored to their unique needs.

Our exotic services include:

✨ Wellness & Preventive Care
✨ Husbandry, Behaviour & Nutrition Consultations
✨ Sick Pet & Emergency Assessments
✨ Advanced Diagnostics, including CT, Endoscopy, Ultrasound & X-rays
✨ Surgery & Dentistry
✨ Long-Term Medical Management

We are also pleased to accept referrals from veterinarians seeking advanced exotic animal care.

🦎 Services are available in English and French.

🦦 Appointments are now available. Call us to book at 506-387-4015.

We're proud to expand the care available to exotic pets in our region and look forward to supporting both new and existing exotic pet families throughout our community!

Sometimes helping people means helping the animals they love, too. ❤️🐾

Back in July, we came across a post from that really stayed with us.

It was a reminder that when someone is experiencing homelessness or a crisis, their pet is often more than just a pet. They are a source of comfort, companionship, and stability during some of life's most difficult moments.
We knew we wanted to help.

Our team came together to collect and donate dog food for the animals supported through Miramichi Housing Solutions. While coordinating the donation, we learned they were also caring for cats displaced alongside their owners following a housing closure that left 46 people without a home. We were grateful for the opportunity to help support those pets as well.

We recently received a heartfelt note from their team that reminded us why this work matters:

"Your kindness has made a meaningful difference in the lives of both the people and animals we support."

A special thank you to our incredible partners at Hill's Pet Nutrition and Purina, whose generosity helped make this donation possible.

And thank you to Melissa and the entire team at Miramichi Housing Solutions for the important work you do every day. Thank you for recognizing that pets are family and for supporting both people and their beloved companions as they work toward stability and a brighter future. ❤️

🐾💛 Big impact in the Elsipogtog Community! 💛🐾

In partnership with PAW (People for Animal Wellbeing), we set out with a simple goal: vaccinate 100 dogs against parvovirus and rabies. Not only did we meet that goal—we surpassed it when we returned for the booster clinic! 🙌

With 4 of our veterinarians and 20 support team members, we were proud to work alongside PAW to help keep pets healthy and protected.

We met so many amazing people and their furry companions and truly had a blast being part of such a meaningful initiative.

A huge thank you to Zoetis for generously supplying the vaccines for both clinics—your support helped make this possible. 💉🐾

Thank you to PAW for the collaboration, and to the Elsipogtog community for showing up and trusting us with your pets. 💛

We were thrilled to help bring a Canadian Animal Blood Bank (CABB) Donor Clinic back to New Brunswick 🩸🐾

With the incredible support of Ariana from CABB, we were able to host this life-saving initiative right here at our hospital—and we couldn’t feel more fortunate to be part of it. We welcomed so many amazing canine heroes who stepped up to make a difference.

Just like humans, animals need blood too. Every day, critically ill and injured pets rely on transfusions—whether for surgery, trauma, or ongoing treatments like cancer care. Each donation collected can help save up to three other dogs, making a meaningful impact across Canada.

Did You Know?: Dogs have different blood types, and those who are DEA 1 Negative are especially important—they’re universal donors in emergency situations, and the demand for this blood type is always high. That said, every donation plays a vital role in giving another dog a second chance.

A huge thank you to our incredible canine heroes and their families (we loved meeting each and every one of you!), to Ariana and the CABB team for making this clinic possible, and to our amazing hospital team for bringing this initiative to life here in New Brunswick 🙌

As an emergency hospital, we rely on blood products regularly and are always looking for donors for urgent, life-saving situations. If you think your pet has what it takes to be a hero, we would love to hear from you! 🐕✨
