Dr. Holling and Kathleen got a real treat this morning when they met Gershwin. We could write a whole rhapsody (get it? 😉) about what a sweet, fluffy purr machine he was!!

Meet Cloe. Cloe is one of the most well travelled cats we have ever met! She’s visited every province and I’m sure that everyone who has met her has loved her. I mean, how could they not? She was SUCH a good girl for her acupuncture treatment and solensia injection. Her mom, Brittany, was also fantastic and our honourary veterinary assistant this afternoon!

What a great way to celebrate the end of January! The rest of the Sitka team were jealous that they couldn’t be with Dr. Holling and Kelsey, who got to snuggle with this cutie. It just so happens that Iggy was a fantastic patient, as well as a good lookin’ boy!

Our special patients of the day include Ryn, a 10 week old Australian Cattle dog who was a bundle of joy, and Cleo, a very regal kitty who LOVES fitting her svelte figure into things much smaller than she is 🥰

Meet Chance. We got to visit him last Friday, and we must say, he is one HAPPY Golden Retriever! We had such a great afternoon hanging out with him (COULD we even consider it work?!). His tail didn’t stop wagging, even during the hard stuff. Here is some evidence, in case you don’t believe us 😉

This is Georgia, one of Dr. Holling’s dogs! Dr. Begbie has been giving Georgia the vacation of a lifetime at her house to spend time with her family and cats! We at the office get really lucky because every day Georgia gets to be our office assistant 🙂 We love her! While we don’t see any pets at our office normally, it’s nice to have a special treat while Dr. Holling is away 💜

Since we are a mobile service, we are unfortunately unable to help our furry friends in every situation, even though we wish we could! We are grateful to share this post so that it can potentially help you to determine how to get your pet the best treatment they need!

We know it may be difficult to determine what is an emergency situation for your pet that warrants a visit to an emergency hospital. So we’re sharing some of the most common scenarios that would require emergency care.
