Hi friends- we wanted to update you all. Because there wasn't enough people who signed up for puppy classes, they have been postponed for the time being. In the meantime- if any of you would like to come in and join Crystal for her classes, let us know. Once we have enough for the class, we will let you all know. Those who already signed up, you are on the waiting list first for the next round of classes! If you have any questions please give us a call at 403-885-8387.

Hello folks!
We had a very cute dogg-o found in town by a good samaritan and brought to the clinic this afternoon. A very sweet, young guy with limited vision. His left eye appears to be non visual.
Anyone recognize this adorable guy?
