🌈 Happy Pride Month! 🌈

Creating an inclusive and welcoming environment doesn’t happen through one action or one month—it happens through the choices we make every day.

As part of Pride Season, we asked members of our team what actions they take to help ensure Riverview Animal Health Centre feels safe, welcoming, and inclusive for everyone. Their responses reflect the values we strive to uphold for our colleagues, clients, and community.

We know there is always more to learn, and we’re committed to continuing to listen, grow, and foster a culture where everyone feels respected, supported, and free to be themselves.

Thank you to our team for sharing their perspectives and for helping make RAHC a place of belonging for all. 🏳️‍🌈🐾

Last week, we celebrated the incredible Veterinary Assistants who help make everything we do possible at Riverview Animal Health Centre. ❤️

Our VAs spend so much time with your pets during their visits. They are the comforting voices, the extra hands, the patient advocates, the treat-givers, the laundry-folders, the restraint experts, the late-night helpers, and the team members who jump in wherever needed without hesitation. Their compassion, dedication, and hard work play a huge role in the care your animals receive every single day.
Simply put, we could not provide the level of care that we do without them.

As a special thank you during Veterinary Assistant Appreciation Week, we treated our VA team to a Sip & Shop celebration complete with Pawgaritas and Code Reds (aka Shirley Temples). A small way to
celebrate a team that deserves so much recognition for all that they do.

Please help us show our Veterinary Assistants some love by leaving a kind message or shoutout in the comments below! 👇🏻

We’re proud to share that our hospital is Trupanion Certified for the second year in a row! 🐾

What this means for our pet parents: if your pet is insured with Trupanion, we’re able to direct bill, helping reduce out‑of‑pocket costs at the time of care and allowing you to focus on what matters most—your pet.

A special shout‑out to Meaghan, one of our amazing CSRs, who you’ll see in the photo installing our 2025 Trupanion Certification plaque—white gloves and all, courtesy of Trupanion! 🧤💙 Thank you for helping us proudly display this milestone.

Have questions about pet insurance or direct billing? Our team is always happy to help.

🐾 Veterinary Receptionist Appreciation Week 🐾

This week, we are celebrating the 17 incredible receptionists who are the heart of Riverview Animal Health Centre. Each of them brings something unique to our team, and we are so proud of every single one of them.

Our receptionists are the first and last faces our clients see. They answer the phone during some of the most stressful moments—acting like 911 dispatchers for animals, calmly guiding our clients through emergencies. They offer coffee, snacks, and comfort. They sit with clients while their pets are with our medical team. They juggle emotions, urgency, and compassion every single day.

Simply put, they have one of the hardest jobs in our hospital, and they do it with professionalism, kindness, and heart.
Thank you to Kyla, Danica, Meaghan, Donna, Linda, Kim, Taylor, Max, Jessica, Jill, Sharon, Natalie, Sarah, Jamie, Madeline, Gabrielle, and Corinna — Riverview wouldn’t be the same without you. 💙

📣 Clients & friends: show our reception team some love in the comments below! A kind word goes a long way, and they truly deserve it.

✨ There’s no place like the vet! ✨

Our patient Olive came in for her checkup today with some very special helpers — Dorothy and Toto 🐾💛

Dorothy (fully dressed for the occasion!) brought along both her stuffed animal Toto and her real‑life pup. Olive saw Dr. Martin for her checkup, while stuffed Toto also had a very important exam of his own and received a clean bill of health too!

Before heading home, our team member Donna couldn’t resist snapping a few photos and clicking her heels with this unforgettable trio.

Moments like these remind us why we love what we do — because a little magic can show up anywhere. 🌈🐶

🐾 Penny’s Story 🐾

Back in early March, Penny’s family was facing every pet parent’s worst fear. Just days later, with advanced diagnostics, spinal surgery, dedicated 24/7 hospital care, and a whole lot of love, Penny began showing us just how resilient she is 💙

As you swipe through, you’ll see snapshots from her journey — and that final video is a moment that still makes us smile. Penny continues her recovery, but her early progress has been nothing short of inspiring.

We’re incredibly grateful to Penny’s family for trusting us with her care, and to Trupanion Pet Insurance for helping make her treatment possible.

Way to go, Penny — keep showing us what determination looks like! 🐶✨

✨ Girl Guides Take Over the Clinic! ✨

We had the absolute pleasure of welcoming a local Girl Guides group to the clinic last week for a behind‑the‑scenes tour and a hands‑on learning experience!

These amazing girls (ages 9–11) dove right in — practicing triage on mock ER cases and “treating” their stuffed‑animal patients with so much enthusiasm and curiosity.

Their energy made the whole visit unforgettable. 💙

Thank you to the Girl Guides for spending the evening with us and for your excitement in learning what veterinary medicine is all about!
