Help us support the pets who bring comfort, companionship and therapy to our veterans! As Remembrance Day approaches, donate unused pet food to ensure veterans in need can keep their pets, and keep them fed. Donations are accepted at the clinic. Every bag / partial bag or canned wet food counts!
Veterans will appreciate the donations more than most people would know. So spread the word, and letโ€™s give back to our veterans by caring for their beloved pets.
Thank you for your generosity!

Here are a few tips to protect your pups:
Keep them a safe distance away from the chute area
Wash paws and fur thoroughly if they encounter any medications.
Watch for symptoms like vomiting, drooling, off food, lethargy, increase drinking and urination, if you think your pet has been exposed to any cattle medications contact your vet

๐‚๐จ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ž ๐‚๐š๐ฎ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง: If youโ€™re dressing up your pet, make sure their costume is comfortable and doesnโ€™t restrict movement or breathing. Always supervise them while theyโ€™re wearing it!
๐’๐š๐Ÿ๐ž ๐“๐ซ๐ž๐š๐ญ๐ฌ: Keep those candy bowls out of reach! Chocolate and other treats can be harmful to pets. Opt for pet-friendly treats instead!
๐ƒ๐ž๐œ๐จ๐ซ ๐€๐ฐ๐š๐ซ๐ž๐ง๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ: Avoid using decorations that could be hazardous. Keep wires, candles, and small decorations away from curious paws and noses.
๐‚๐ซ๐ž๐š๐ญ๐ž ๐š ๐’๐š๐Ÿ๐ž ๐’๐ฉ๐š๐œ๐ž: If your pet gets anxious with all the commotion, set up a quiet, cozy area for them to relax during trick-or-treating.
๐ˆ๐ƒ ๐‚๐ก๐ž๐œ๐ค: Ensure your pet's ID tags and microchips are up to date, just in case they escape with all the excitement!
๐–๐š๐ญ๐œ๐ก ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ƒ๐จ๐จ๐ซ: Keep an eye on your pet when the door opens. A sudden influx of trick-or-treaters could lead to a great escape
๐Ž๐ฎ๐ญ๐๐จ๐จ๐ซ ๐’๐š๐Ÿ๐ž๐ญ๐ฒ: If youโ€™re planning on taking your pet out trick-or-treating with you, ensure they are always on leash and visible to you and others passing by with the use of a lighted collar or reflective strips.

Have a hauntingly good time and keep those tails wagging!

๐’๐ญ๐š๐ฒ ๐‚๐š๐ฅ๐ฆ: Approach the situation with a calm demeanor to avoid stressing the animal further.
๐Ž๐›๐ฌ๐ž๐ซ๐ฏ๐ž ๐…๐ข๐ซ๐ฌ๐ญ: Before intervening, watch from a distance. Many animals are simply resting or temporarily left alone by their parents.

๐ƒ๐จ ๐๐จ๐ญ ๐…๐ž๐ž๐: Feeding wild animals can do more harm than good. They require specific diets, and feeding can lead to dependency on humans.
๐’๐ž๐œ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ž ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐€๐ซ๐ž๐š: If safe to do so, keep pets and children away from the animal to minimize stress.

If you do find wildlife in need, please contact AIWC. Once directed to do so feel free to drop off at the clinic because we are a AIWC Vet Clinic Partner Drop Off Location. Just like this Bald Eagle that was dropped off at the clinic
Together, we can make a difference for Albertaโ€™s wildlife!

Our Senior Pets are our absolute FAVORITE and we are celebrating them all month long! As pets age over 7 years they become Senior and we always want to ensure they are comfortable and happy in their golden years! Itโ€™s common for our Senior Patients to develop arthritis and decrease muscle strength, so itโ€™s important to ensure they remain comfortable and strong. This is also a time when we perform blood tests routinely so that we catch any signs of disease in the early stages. Routine Vet Care contributes to both quality of life and longevity! We canโ€™t help but toss out there our Throw Back Thursday #TBT which features some of our โ€œSUPER VETSโ€ treating some of our โ€œSUPER SENIORSโ€! Contact us at 403.901.1800 for any further questions on Senior Month and how we can help benefit your pet in their golden years!

Caturday Tip
Caturday Tip

Have any cats that eat their food too fast, then barf it up? For this monthโ€™s Caturday Tip, try this out โ€“ forage feeding! Forage feeding stimulates your cat mentally, mimics hunting for food, increases physical activity, and slows down the speed of eating! Foraging toys can be simple and homemade, or you can purchase them commercially. Once your cat figures out the easy toys, increase the difficulty! Make them WERK! You will have a happy, more stimulated cat, and less barfy messes to clean up โ€“ sounds like a win-win!

*Our video below contains graphic images* We are nearing the end of Dental Month and would like to thank all of our clients who brought their pets in for dental care throughout February! Dental care is such an important part of our animalโ€™s overall health, and as such we are implementing a NEW dental program to better serve our patients! Talk to us for more details on our program, we think youโ€™ll like the changes!

Equine VSMT Withers Adjustment
Equine VSMT Withers Adjustment

Back pain is a largely under-appreciated and undiagnosed condition in our animal companions. Horses with back pain may be reactive when the saddle is placed on their back or when the girth/cinch is tightened. They may be inclined to buck, develop an attitude under saddle, struggle with transitions, or simply not be performing optimally. Animal chiropractic is a wonderful tool to address and prevent back pain in our equine athletes, allowing for optimal biomechanical performance and injury prevention. In this video, our friend Sam is having the base of his withers adjusted! #VSMT #VeterinarySpinalManipulationTherapy #AnimalChiropractic #Veterinarian #AnimalDoctor #accstrathmore #becausewecare #horses #equine #equineadjustment #withers #withersadjustment #equinetherapy #neigh #hay #walktrotlope #relievepain #veterinarypainmanagement #nobucks #equinebackpainrelief #accanimalchiro
