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 in your area.
*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!

🐾 Fireworks & Pets – New Year’s Eve Awareness 🐾

As we head into New Year’s Eve tomorrow, here are some important tips to help keep your pets calm and safe during fireworks:

Why pets struggle with fireworks
-Sudden loud noises can cause stress and anxiety
- Many pets may try to hide, escape, or become restless
-Even pets who seem “fine” can still feel overwhelmed

How to support your pet
✔ Keep them indoors during fireworks
✔ Close windows, curtains, and blinds
✔ Play background noise (TV, music, fan, white noise)
✔ Create a cozy, secure space (crate, bed, or quiet room)
✔ Avoid taking pets to fireworks displays
✔ Make sure ID tags & microchip info are up to date in case of escape

Signs your pet may be stressed
• Pacing, trembling, hiding
• Excessive panting, drooling
• Whining, barking, or restlessness
• Trying to escape or seeming unusually clingy

Medication support if needed

Some pets benefit from oral anxiety medication during fireworks. If you think your pet might need extra support:

📩 Contact us to discuss safe oral medication options before New Year’s Eve.

We’re here to help make the transition into 2026 calmer and safer for your furry family members.

Keeping your barn crew happy during the winter months doesn’t have to be a challenge! ❄️✨
Limited turnout can lead to restlessness, so adding a few simple enrichment ideas can make a big difference in your horses’ wellness this season.

Slow-feeder setups encourage natural foraging, DIY sensory toys keep curious minds engaged, and safe social time can help reduce stress and boost overall mood. And of course, a batch of vet-approved holiday horse treats is always a hit! 🎄🐴

Looks like winter missed the memo this year — rain instead of snow means muddy paws and standing water and a great opportunity to learn more about Leptospirosis ☔🐾

Our latest blog breaks down what leptospirosis is, how it spreads, why it matters (for pets and people), and why we now consider it a core vaccine.

Give it a read and keep your pup safe — even if winter forgot it’s supposed to snow ❄️➡️🌧️

Holiday treats are everywhere this time of year, but some can be dangerous for the animals we love. 🎄

🐶🐱🐰 For small animals (like dogs, cats, and rabbits), keep a close eye out for chocolate, xylitol, grapes and raisins, alcohol, and onions or garlic.

🐴🐮 For large animals (like horses, cows, and other livestock), the biggest risks include sudden diet changes, moldy or spoiled feed, and toxic plants such as yew, holly, and mistletoe.

A little extra awareness can go a long way in keeping your whole herd — big or small — safe this season. If your animal gets into something concerning, we’re here to help. 🤍
