This weekend on call:

We recognize that on some occasions after-hours veterinary care will not be readily available in Cranbrook, and we want to ensure clients have the opportunity to seek care before it becomes an emergency. We ask that if you have difficulty travelling with your pet outside of Cranbrook, please consider developing an emergency preparedness plan for travel on weekends when veterinary care is not local.

*Please note that for large animal emergencies, call 250-489-1655 and follow the telephone prompts for LARGE ANIMAL care. Large animal after-hours service may differ from the above posted clinic, and you will be directed accordingly.

At Tanglefoot, we reserve a limited number of urgent care appointments every day, including Saturdays, for critical cases. Please be aware that these appointments, especially on Saturdays, fill quickly and we may not be able to accommodate all appointments.

Partner with us to PLAN AHEAD for a SAFE and HAPPY winter season!

To ring in the new year, let’s learn about Dr. Joanna! 🐎

Dr. Joanna Kouwenberg grew up in northern British Columbia. She completed her undergraduate from UBC Vancouver in Animal Science. From there, her veterinary degree was obtained from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in 2006. Dr. Joanna completed an equine internship at Arizona Equine Medical and Surgical Center and went into equine private practice in the Colorado Springs area for 2 years. She joined the Tanglefoot Team in 2013 and became a partner in 2023.

Dr. Joanna’s professional interests include equine lameness, medicine and wound management. She enjoys offering further support for both equine and small animals that is outside the scope of western veterinary medicine so went on to complete a comprehensive acupuncture course. This additional training provides the opportunity to support equine athletes and improve quality of life for both equine and small animal patients.

In her personal time Joanna enjoys horseback riding, horseback archery, cross-country skiing, and spending time with her husband and 2 teenage boys. She feels blessed to live in the Kootenays and enjoys the lifestyle this area has to offer.

Tanglefoot Friends!

Looking for a great Christmas gift?

We are so excited to bring in the CYCLE DOG brand of collars, leashes and collapsible water bowls! Why are these so special? All products are made from recycled materials and guaranteed to last!

The large/medium dog collars, leashes and bowls are made from recycled inner tube rubber. They are water proof and NO STINK! The small dog collars and leashes are made from recycled plastic bottles.

With Kootenay inspired patterns, we could not think of anything more fitting for our local, bike loving pups. And to make these collars and leashes even better….all the larger sizes come standard with indestructible metal buckles and a BOTTLE OPENER!

BUDDIES (dogs), BIKES and BEERS!

In the spirit of Christmas, we thought this would be the perfect time for a GIVEAWAY!

Post a picture (in the comments of this post) of your dog biking out on the trails and tag your friends. The picture with the most likes (on Facebook ONLY) as of 5:30pm on December 23rd, will win a choice of either a collar or leash, just in time for Christmas!
(sorry local pick-up only, we will not be able to ship)

Happy biking!

The next vet we’ll learn about is Dr. Holly Munroe!

Holly grew up in Nova Scotia and was raised with animals of all sorts: horses, cats, dogs. You name it. She obtained a Bachelor of Science from the Nova Scotia Agricultural College with a major in Animal Science and a minor in Agricultural Business. From there Holly graduated as a DVM from the Atlantic Veterinary College in PEI (Did you know she is our only East coast educated vet?).

Holly keeps busy exploring anywhere outdoors, fishing for cutthroat trout, and has more recently turned into an avid whitetail hunter. In the last couple of years, Holly has fallen head over wheels for mountain biking, always pushing herself on new trails and tackling fresh challenges. An avid reader by day, and a watercolor painter by night, she’s recently discovered a whole new world of creativity with a brush in hand.

You may have seen her out on the trails with her boys Maverick and Atlas (top left pic). They both have their own health issues (one having a heart defect and the other having had previous major orthopedic surgery after a traumatic injury, so Holly understands the stresses of pet care too from her own personal experiences! (We are pet parents too).

When it comes to veterinary medicine Holly has a few areas of passion. Puppies / new pets: Early socialization is incredibly important and setting up some basics for future good health!

Dental care: From a quality of life perspective, we can help our pets so much in this regard with proper dental care and treatment of disease.

TPLO / orthopedics / general surgery: I have done a lot of additional training and thoroughly enjoy surgical repairs and how much we can help our pets! It’s all about being functional and reducing pain.
