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 season!

We just wrapped up 8 solid weeks with our 4th-year OVC students Katie and Sydney. These two jumped in with focus, curiosity, and a strong work ethic — and we’re proud to have been part of their final year of training.

At Tanglefoot, we believe in building the future of this profession through mentorship. With over 60 vet students hosted so far, we know the value of real-world experience.

Last week, we welcomed Maheen and Sophie to the team — and we’re looking forward to another great rotation ahead. 🐾

How to Prepare for Your Vet Visit 🐾

Whether it’s your first time coming to Tanglefoot or you’ve been with us for years, a little prep goes a long way in making your visit smoother for you and your animal. Here's how to get ready:

✅ Write down any questions or concerns.
Noticing a change in appetite? New behaviours? Bring a list so nothing gets forgotten during the appointment.

✅ Bring a record of medications or supplements.
Even if we’ve seen your animal before, knowing what they’re currently taking helps us treat them accurately and safely.

✅ For pets: bring a leash or carrier.
Even the calmest animals can get nervous. This keeps everyone safe and secure in the waiting area and during exams.

✅ Arrive a few minutes early.
It gives your animal a chance to settle and helps us stay on schedule — which we know everyone appreciates!

✅ For farm visits: have animals safely contained and ready.
This helps us get to work quickly, minimizes stress for the animals, and makes the most of our time on-site.

We’re here to make vet care feel less stressful and more supportive for everyone involved. 💚 Questions? Just give us a call! 📞 (250) 489-1655

We get these questions a lot, so let’s clear a few things up 👇🐾

💬 Do I need an appointment, or can I just walk in?
We ask that you book ahead so we can give every animal the focused care they need — and so no one feels rushed or stressed (including you!).

💬 Do you offer after-hours emergency services?
Yes, we do. If something comes up after hours, call us. We’re here to help when it matters most. ❤️

💬 Do you do home or farm visits?
Absolutely. Whether you’ve got a nervous pup, a feisty cat, or a whole barn full of animals — we’re happy to come to you.

Have a question we didn’t cover here? DM us and we'd be more than happy to answer!

National rescue dog day is dedicated to raising awareness about the countless dogs in shelters waiting for their forever homes. Celebrated on May 20th, this day highlights the joys and benefits of adopting a rescue. These loyal companions not only bring love and joy into our lives but also provide a second chance for animals who may have faced difficult beginnings.

On this day, we encourage you to visit our local shelters, volunteer, donate, or even consider adopting a furry friend. By spreading the word about the importance of rescue and adoption, we can help reduce the number of animals in shelters and give more dogs the happy lives they deserve.
