Behind every pet we see, is a veterinarian who dedicated their life to making the world a safer place for animals. 🐾💙

They guide us through it all. From that chaotic, exciting first puppy/kitten visit to the toughest, most selfless final goodbyes. They are ultimate problem solvers. No words? No problem. Veterinarians combine sharp diagnostic skills with incredible intuition to advocate for the voiceless.

To our veterinarians who work late nights, handle the emotional highs and lows of the hospitals, and never stop fighting for our furry family members: Thank you.

There is a distinct shift that happens when a shelter cat finally realizes they’re home. A quiet room fills with purrs, and the cautious steps turn into confident strides.

But we aren’t just celebrating because it’s on the calendar. We’re doing it because compassion is baked into our DNA. We know that a pet isn't just a pet. They are life's greatest companions. And that's why we work hand-in-hand with Canadian shelters year-round to streamline the path from kennel to couch.

If you’ve been looking for a sign to find your missing piece, this is it. 🐾

Dr Clooney and Kim are on their way back from a week in Ross River, Yukon. They were volunteering with the Canadian Animal Assistance Team (CAAT), providing much needed veterinary services. CAAT performed spay and neuter surgeries, sedated grooms, exams and vaccines!

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!

Does your pet have a go-bag ready? Tell us in the comments or drop a 🐾 if you're putting one together this weekend! 👇

One of the coolest things about being part of a larger veterinary community is getting to share incredible stories and educational moments from across our hospitals. Today, we’ve got a fascinating look into some x-rays!

These X-rays show a pup’s paw after having a toe surgically removed due to a mast cell tumor.

While tumors are a common reason for this procedure, our teams sometimes have to perform a toe amputation due to severe infections, traumatic injuries, or painful bone disorders. It sounds like an intimidating surgery, but dogs are incredibly resilient. They adapt beautifully, and mobility is rarely impacted long-term.

In fact, this patient recovered like an absolute champ and doesn’t even notice the missing digit! 💕

X-rays like these are crucial for our medical teams to plan surgeries precisely and ensure the best possible outcome. We love seeing how quickly our furry patients bounce back and get right back to being playful pups.

Have you ever met a pet with a successful amputation story? Drop a comment and tell us about your resilient fur babes! 👇

Today is Sara’s last day with us, as she is heading back to her hometown in Halifax next week. She has been an integral part of our clinic since 2020, both as a receptionist and technician assistant. You will have to excuse us for the next few weeks as we adjust to loosing our professional pet snuggler, pharmacy stocker, magical cleaning fairy, vaccine prepper and a million other roles that Sara did. We wish her all the best, and secretly hope she will be back once she remembers what an East Coast Winter feels like!

Our clinic will be holding a nail trim fundraiser May 25-29th. Nail trims will be by donation, and all proceeds will go to the Canadian Animal Assistance Team’s (CAAT). Dr Clooney and Kim are both active members of CAAT, and it is an organization that is close to our hearts.

CAAT’s mission is to provide spay/neuter/vaccination services to dogs and cats in remote Canadian communities with little to no access to veterinary care. 90% of their work is in Canadian Indigenous communities. This year, CAAT has projects in the Yukon (Pelly’s Crossing and Ross River) and BC (Bella Bella and Lax kwa'laams).

If you would like to support CAAT in other ways, or just want to learn more about the organization: https://www.caat-canada.org/membership/donate/
