I have not seen it but apparently there was a CBC Marketplace about veterinary care/costs on Friday and other clinics are getting questions about it. I'll answer a couple that I can anticipate but feel free to post if you have other questions.

So I will say that yes there has been a lot of corporations purchasing clinics locally in the last several years. While all clinics are corporations (we have to be per the Manitoba Vet Med Association (MVMA)) some are privately owned by a Dr while some are owned by bigger corporations. Petmobile is privated owned by me, Dr. Liana Mawer. So locally owned and operated.

Fees always a big issue. We set our fees by looking at our profits/losses/expenses and taking into consideration the fee guideline put out by the MVMA. Our house calls are significantly lower than what is recommended. Our other fees are lower than what is recommended. We have only raised our prices a handful of times since we started in 2015 to reflect increased expenses. Sadly with gas prices having gone up again we may need to increase some fees in the next months to year but for now we are just watching things and seeing whether that is necessary.

I don't know what other questions may have arisen due to the show but feel free to respectfully ask questions. I will answer to the best of my abilities when I have time!

AFTER HOURS SERVICE: Unfortunately I am going to discontinue providing after hours service effective immediately. I have been providing after hours since we started in 2015. With some current personal events I just feel I have to admit I can't do it all. I do understand that this puts clients in a difficult situation and will probably mean that you will need to go to Winnipeg for emergency care. I know that is really hard for many of you and I do apologize. I strongly encourage you to contact us if your pet is feeling off especially on a Friday or even late in the day during the week. We may be able to discuss symptomatic medication until the pet can be seen (econsult may apply).

**EDIT apparently the wooden house is for smaller animals - not cat - oops, sorry

-XMAS IDEAS FOR THE CAT THAT HAS IT ALL: I am always a big proponent of functional and environmental enrichment things for my cat(s). Scratchers are always a great idea and we have 5 scratchers of different varieties for my cat so Bones can use those instead of furniture. Some very pretty options shown. Note there are some other very inexpensive cardboard scratchers that I didn't picture here so there is something for every budget. Be warned the cardboard ones get shredded so there is daily clean up lol. I also think I might get that wood house for my cat. For cat trees Bones gives the Vesper ones 4 paws up. He loved his so much that we have had to replace the rope around the columns several times and I am sure you will have to as well (rope or peel and stick carpet can be used and can be found on Amazon). The pads velcro on so I vacuum them and wash them as needed. You have to assemble but I did it so anybody can lol.

Search engine on our site sucks admittedly so if you search scratchers or Vesper you will come up with most of the options pictured. I've also put links of my searches below and the general website link below. Note that you have to register first. We will then get an email and we will approve it. So if you want to support Jon, Carol and Liana and sort of shop local please have at it!

Dog toys from our webstore...we have featured a few that have been our pet favorites.

Westpaw toys are guaranteed and dishwasher safe!
Place treats in the Toppls and freeze them to make them last longer. You put a small one inside a large for longer entertainment/enrichment.
The Tuffy toys usually last longer than most toys for big chewers.

As with most toys, supervision is recommended to prevent them eating/swallowing pieces they shouldn't (saves us helping you in an emergency!)
Add on to your food order - there shouldn't be any (or much) extra for shipping!

and of course we do have cat toys too! https://petmobilevetstore.clientvantage.ca/feline-toys

We have just been advised by Hills that there will be about a 3.5% increase in pet food pricing in January. So if on a Hills diet and you would like to stock up before then feel free to order from the webstore making sure if you buy extra's that the best before date is ok for the amount of time you are stocking for. I have not heard from the other companies but it does seem like there are always some increases in January. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news :(

We have Back on Track products on our webstore which might make a great xmas gift idea for the hubby, the wife, or the pets. Their products are ceramic infused and touted to prevent injuries, relieve muscle tension, assist with range of motion, expedite recovery and increase circulation.

They have been tested by our one and only Carol lol. She bought a winter blanket for her horse and it came with an extra liner. She decided to sleep with the liner since her horse didn’t need it yet. Says she woke up without soreness for the first time in a long time. So might actually work lol.

For the guys there are long johns, toques, socks, boxers, gloves, and even braces. For the women there are riding gloves, vests, shirts, and also long johns, socks etc. For horses there are boots, braces and blankets. There are even braces and jackets for your dog. So I’ve shown some pictures and here is a link. If you want to order you have to register first and once we receive an email saying you have registered we will approve you. Purolator delivers to your door within 3 – 5 business days so no worries re the mail strike.
