"Did someone say it's grooming time? I'm in!" ☀️🐾

Grooming is crucial for pets in the summer to help regulate their body temperature. It also promotes skin and coat health by distributing natural oils, which can protect against sunburn and excessive shedding.

Regular grooming ensures our pets are comfortable, healthy and happy all season long!

Meet Dr. Isobel MacEwan! 🌟

Dr. MacEwan is currently visiting our Diagnostic Imaging Department on externship as part of her specialty training. She is a radiology resident at Veterinary Specialists Aotearoa, New Zealand, and is here working alongside Dr. Elyshia Hankin, one of her residency supervisors.

During her time with us, Dr. MacEwan is collaborating with Dr. Hankin and Dr. Laura Barbur, one of our Specialty Surgeons, on an exciting retrospective investigation. They are exploring the radiographic and surgical outcomes of the Ridgestop procedure, a relatively new method for correcting patella luxation in dogs and cats.

Dr. MacEwan has also been engaging with some of our pet owners to gather valuable feedback on their experiences with the procedure. We're thrilled to have her with us and look forward to the insights her research will bring! 🐾✨

Meet our friend Harlan. Harlan had surgery with our Specialty Surgery Department in October to remove a large multilobular tumor of bone from one of his facial bones. He is now being treated by our Oncology Department with chemotherapy for a heart base tumor called a chemodectoma. He has done incredibly well after surgery and is doing great on his chemotherapy protocol! We received this video today from his family thankful he is able to enjoy today's snow and saying "It’s truly incredible how much more active and happier he is after his surgery and treatment." We are so happy to see Harlan enjoying his snow day!

LOVE this video of Rooney and his littlest person (perhaps a future veterinarian??) sent to us by his grown-up human 🥰#ThisIsWhyWeDoIt #VetMed "One year ago I brought my beloved dog Rooney in with something that didn’t seem urgent…but turned out to be a life threatening pneumothorax which required pretty intense lung surgery over Christmas...Thanks to your team’s skillful care, Rooney pulled through and recovered. Christmas night last year was my wife and I checking Rooney’s chest tubes for leaking air. Now he’s snoozing in front of our fireplace. THANK YOU SO MUCH for the extra year you have given me with my best friend. And a good year full of tail wags, snuggles and walks. I feel immeasurable joy and appreciation for every day I have with him. He truly is the best dog. A kind and gentle soul, who loves his family and whose family loves him right back. Attached is a video of our littlest playing veterinarian with him this morning. Thanks to all who cared for Roone, especially Drs. Murphy, Thies, Glassman and I’m sure many more."
