You've come across a stray dog or cat and decide to intervene. What's next?

Step 1: Check for a Microchip
The first thing to do is check if they’re microchipped. Most vet clinics (including us!) will scan for a chip at no cost. Just give us a call — we’ll guide you through bringing the pet in to be scanned and hopefully get them home quickly.

Step 2: Contact Animal Care & Control
If there’s no chip or the owner can’t be reached, contact the City of Edmonton’s Animal Care and Control Centre by calling 311. Intakes are currently by appointment only — you can find the latest info at https://buff.ly/otmZpxp

Step 3: Spread the Word
While waiting for an appointment, share the pet’s photo and info on:
• Local Facebook lost and found pet groups
• Community apps like Nextdoor or PawBoost
• Posters in the area

⚠️ Important: If you choose to take in a stray animal, you are responsible for their care and safety until they’re either reunited with their owner or handed over to Animal Care and Control. Most vet clinics cannot board stray pets, so please plan accordingly.

A Reminder for Pet Owners:
• Keep your pet’s microchip info up to date! A microchip is only useful if the contact information is current.
• Register your pet with the City of Edmonton to help reunite you faster if they ever go missing. Learn more at edmonton.ca/pets

If your dog or cat gets stressed while at the vet, pre-visit prescription medications (PVPs) are an excellent way to help ease their anxiety. When your pet is more calm, we're able to perform a more thorough examination and provide the best possible care for them.

Consistently giving these medications prior to vet visits will help ease vet visit anxiety long-term, making it much easier on your critter. The PVPs Brintnell prescribes most often are some of the safest medications we use here in the clinic, with the most common side effect being sedation.

If you think PVPs may benefit your pet, or if you have questions, give us a call at 780.809.8508 🐾 More information about anxiety medications can be found in our Pet Health Library at https://buff.ly/c5hzWIX

Diabetes isn’t just a human issue—it affects pets too! 🐾 Diabetes is a disease of the pancreas that impacts the body’s ability to regulate blood sugar levels properly. With early detection and proper management, diabetic pets can live happy, healthy lives!

Common Signs of Diabetes in Pets:
- Drinking water like it’s going out of style
- Frequent urination
- Increased appetite but losing weight
- Fatigue or sluggishness

If your pet is diagnosed with diabetes, no need to panic—we’re here to help every step of the way! We’ll book you in for a Diabetic Consult: a one-hour session with a registered vet tech to help you navigate everything from:
- How to give insulin injections (don’t worry, it’s easier than you think!)
- Using a glucose meter to monitor blood sugar levels at home
- Tips for managing your pet’s new routine, like feeding schedules and dietary needs

Life with a diabetic pet is all about consistency—insulin shots, a carefully managed diet, regular checkups and at-home monitoring to keep your pet on track. While it may seem overwhelming at first, most pet parents quickly adjust, and the Brintnell Vet team is always here to support you and your family.
