Oscar was our FIRST brave boy to use our NEW nail trimming sling! 🐶💕

- this is a very handy device used for anxious, nervous, scared, or wiggly patients to have a calm experience for their mani pedi 💅

As you can see, the dog gets put into a comfy little sling jacket that suspends them safely from their chest, belly and bum, keeping them balanced off the ground ♥️

The device was built for dogs of all shapes and sizes, and we’ll be testing it out for more of our patients!

If you feel your dog would like to try this, ask our receptionist to mention “sling” in your appointment slot.

We will take pictures of the progress this makes and just how happy and content our patients are in it 🥰

Copper did not like his bandage being on his leg, so, the smarty pants (🤓)Aussie that he is, decided to use his cone to scratch it off, which intimately re-opened his incision 🩸
— SO — we had to get a bit creative and used a pool noodle around the edge of his cone to keep his leg safe from scratching and coming apart again.

(Those pool noodles are so handy to have around!)

Now, he looks like a little martini glass, and we love it 🍸 and we think he loves it too

THIS MONTH is National Animal Shelter and Rescue Appreciation week, and we want to send a HUGE thank you to our local Cochrane Humane Society.
🐱 🐶 🐇 🐹 🐦 💕

The Cochrane Humane Society was founded in 1998 as a collaboration between Tracy Keith, a volunteer at the time with Animal Services and Charlene Ruttle, an Animal Control Officer. 👮‍♀️ 👩

The shelter has been serving the City of Airdrie since 2016, and also serves Rocky View County west of hwy 2, MD of Big Horn, Mountain View County, Redwood Meadows, Stoney Nation, and Tsuut’ina Nation. 📍

We work with the CHS here at CAC, and they are always so pleasant to deal with and really, truly, love the animals that come in to them.
They take care, they take their time, and they heal the animals that are there ❤️‍🩹
They truly are animal lovers and we are so honoured to have them in this town ♥️
— we love you CHS! 💕 keep up the amazing work! 🙌🏼

With the weather getting colder out, don’t forget to bundle up your certain type of breed dogs! 🐶

If they do not have an undercoat, they will likely get pretty chilly, just like us! 🧊

Be creative, have some fun, and they’ll have fun being nice and toasty warm 🔥

Jackets are boots are sold at many locations around town, including , , and , with many more!

Bundle up, and keep them safe from the cold 🥶

Good morning to our CAC patients and clients!
A quick heads up: we will be CLOSED from 1pm - 3pm for our staff meeting.
We apologize for any inconvenience.
— stay warm and safe out there, and remember to use water very sparingly!

Next up for our RVT appreciation month: Angela!

Ange has been an RVT since 2001 and we can’t say how proud we are to have her as a part of our family.
She is always willing to lend a hand, easy to talk with, easy to learn from, and always kind to everyone she meets.
I don’t think the clinic would be as wonderful and our new grads as well trained if we didn’t have Ange! ♥️

She has a doodle named Willow and a cat named Popo 🐱 🐶
We truly appreciate all your hard work and your kind and giving attitude.
We love you, Ange! 💕

For RVT month in Canada, we are VERY proud to have Mackenzie as one of our own!

She is the kind of lady you want in your corner!
She is so strong, brave, confident, funny, smart, and all around just a good human being. 😎
With all the animals in her life, and the love she gives to her own, she gives just that to our patients and shows just how wonderful she is.
We are very lucky to have her and she definitely keeps our spirits up in the clinic with her witty and spontaneous attitude 😍

You go, Big Mac! 💕

These cuties are wishing you a Happy Tuesday!

Today is National Boss Day so we have to give props to this amazing, strong, confident and successful lady; Stef! 💕

She handles a full household on the farm with horses, dogs, cats, chickens and ducks, AND THEN comes to work and handles the 30 of us here at work 😅
The stress this woman can handle is immeasurable !

She handles it with grace, patience and an attitude to learn and grow together. She understands and values our home lives and understands that we are each individuals with individual needs and morals.

She’s more than a boss, she is our friend. What more could we ask for?
Here’s to you, Stef.
We appreciate you ♥️
