🌟 Meet Gemma! 🌟

I joined the Pioneer team in May 2025 as a Veterinary Technician Assistant after moving back to Canada from the UK. I’ve been working in veterinary practices since 2017 and even spent some time here in Canada back in 2019 before returning again last year.

I’ve always loved working with animals, and outside of work, you can usually find me in the mountains with my husband, our son, and our laid-back Jack Russell, Pip. I also love catching up with friends and spending time outdoors.

Be sure to say hello the next time you’re at the clinic. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! 🐾

🌟 Celebrating 5 Years with Dr. Lisa! 🌟

Today we’re celebrating Dr. Lisa’s five-year anniversary with Pioneer Veterinary Services! 🐾💚

Her dedication, bright smile, and contagious laugh have been such a wonderful part of our Olds clinic and the Pioneer team as a whole. Lisa’s love for animals and nature shines through in everything she does, and we are so grateful for the care and compassion she brings to her patients, clients, and coworkers every day.

Thank you, Lisa, for the past five years. We can’t wait to see all the amazing years ahead! 💕

💡 Always Learning, Always Improving 💡

At Pioneer, we believe that education is one of the most powerful tools we have to provide the best possible care for your animals. This last week, our team had the privilege of learning from Courtney, a registered vet technologist with vast equine experience.

The evening was filled with hands-on training and an engaging presentation on the importance of precision in equine radiographs. From understanding positioning and angles to recognizing why sedation is often recommended for accuracy and patient comfort, every detail matters when it comes to capturing clear, useful images.

By continuing to grow our knowledge, we not only improve diagnostic accuracy for our doctors but also reduce the number of radiographs needed, meaning less radiation exposure for our patients and staff, as well as less cost for owners.

We are so grateful to Courtney for sharing her expertise, and we are proud of our team for their passion for learning. Every step forward in education helps us serve you and your animals better. 🐴💙

⭐️Team Spotlight – Keera’s 3-Months with Pioneer!⭐️

We’re so excited to celebrate 3 months with Keera on our Pioneer team! 🎉

With a strong background in both animal health and agricultural management, she has already become a huge asset to our clinic family.

Outside of work, you’ll often find Keera enjoying the great outdoors, whether it’s hockey, horseback riding, hunting, fishing, or anything that gets her outside and active. 🐎 🎣 🏒

When we asked Keera what her favourite part of being at Pioneer is, she said:
💬 “The amazing team and helping patients.”

Next time you’re in our Olds clinic, be sure to say hello to Keera! 👋🏼 🐾

✨ A Piece of Our Community, A Piece of Our Home ✨

Our new Sundre clinic now has something truly special hanging on its walls, a branding board that represents not just Pioneer, but the heart of our community.

Thank you to all of our producers and community members who came out to brand the board. You are the reason this piece holds so much meaning. Every mark tells a story, every brand a memory, woven together into something we will treasure forever.

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to Ian Van Staalduinen for pouring so much time and care into this project. From cutting the board out of poplars from his ranch, to manning the station at our open house, to ensuring the final product found its home in our clinic, you made this dream a reality.

This board isn’t just décor, it’s a reminder of the roots, relationships, and community spirit that make Pioneer what it is today. 💙🐴🐮

🙌 A Big Thank You to Our 4-H Volunteers 🙌

We are so grateful to the amazing 4-H volunteers from Eagle Beef 4-H Multi Club and Sundre 4-H Multi Club who stepped up to help make our open house such a success! From set-up to take-down, handing out food, and helping with clean-up, you were there every step of the way.

We truly could not have done it without your hard work, dedication, and bright energy. THANK YOU for lending a helping hand and being such an important part of our day. 💚🐂🌟

🌾💛 Su***de Prevention Week 💛🌾

Life in a small town means looking out for each other, whether it’s a wave on the gravel road, a hand with the chores, or a quiet check-in over coffee. Just like our animals give us comfort on the tough days, we can be that steady support for one another too. 🐾

This week, we want to share a reminder close to our hearts:
✨ You are not alone
✨ Your story matters
✨ Reaching out is a sign of strength

Sometimes the smallest kindness can make the biggest difference. Let’s keep showing up for our friends, family, and neighbors because together, our community is stronger. 💕

If you are struggling, please know there is help available:
📞 Call or text 988 (Su***de Crisis Helpline in Canada)
🌐 Local mental health resources are here for you too

From our Pioneer family to yours, you matter to us. 🐶🐴🐱

💙 September is National Pain Awareness Month 💙

Did you know that pets experience pain in many of the same ways we do, but they’re often much better at hiding it? 🐾 Signs of pain can be subtle, including changes in mobility, appetite, sleep, grooming, or even small shifts in behavior.

At Pioneer Veterinary Services, we take pain management seriously. Whether it’s age-related arthritis, post-surgical recovery, or chronic conditions, we have many tools to help your pets live more comfortable lives. From advanced medications and laser therapy to acupuncture and lifestyle adjustments, our team works with you to create a tailored plan that supports your pet’s long-term well-being.

One of the best parts of our job is seeing the ongoing progress our patients make when pain is managed properly, watching them get back to the things they love, whether that’s running in the pasture, chasing a ball, or simply resting more easily at home. 💚

If you have questions about your pet’s comfort or would like to learn more about pain management options, reach out to our Olds or Sundre clinics. We’re here to help keep your animals happy, healthy, and thriving.

💚 A Heartfelt Thank You 💚

Every year, Hans and Haley go above and beyond by purchasing a 4-H steer not only to support the community and the growth of 4-H members, but also to share the rewards in the most generous way. They divide the meat and distribute it among all of us on the Pioneer team.

This incredible act of kindness is just one of the many ways they show how much they care. From all of us at Pioneer, thank you, Hans and Haley, your generosity and leadership never go unnoticed. We are so grateful for everything you do, and we truly couldn’t ask for better bosses! 🐂💚
