🚓🐾 Happy Retirement, Jake! 🐾🚓 After a 🚓🐾 Happy Retirement, Jake! 🐾🚓

After an incredible career with Calgary Police Services—complete with high-speed chases, heroic takedowns, and THREE human partners—Jake has officially hung up his badge and is now living his best farm life. 🌾🐶

From chasing down armed suspects (seriously—Jake once stopped a carjacker mid-crime!) to now chasing sticks with his new fur siblings, Jake has always given his all. And during his recent vet visit, the doctor confirmed what we already knew: Jake is a very good boy. 💙

Now he spends his days cuddling cats 🐱, playing in the pasture, and enjoying well-earned belly rubs. Thank you for your service, Jake—we’re honored to be part of your new chapter!

It’s Veterinarian Appreciation Day and we asked It’s Veterinarian Appreciation Day and we asked our vets what inspired them to choose this life. The answers were honest, humble, and full of heart.

From farm calls to clinic cuddles, their love for animals and dedication to our community shine through in everything they do.

This isn’t just a job. It’s a calling.

And we’re so proud to walk alongside these hardworking, homegrown heroes every single day. 💛

This week, we’re celebrating the incredible rece This week, we’re celebrating the incredible receptionists who are the heart of our veterinary clinic 💛

From the first friendly “hello” on the phone to the warm smile that greets every pet and their person at the front desk, our reception team is the calm in the chaos, the voice of reassurance, and the glue that holds it all together.

They’re communicators, multitaskers, problem-solvers, and animal lovers, and we couldn’t do what we do without them. 🐾

To recognize their hard work, we asked our receptionists:
 “What’s one of your favorite parts of the job?”

To our amazing reception team: thank you for everything you do. You are seen, you are appreciated, and this place wouldn’t run without you. 🐾

🌾 Rooted in Care, Growing with Knowledge 🌿 🌾 Rooted in Care, Growing with Knowledge 🌿

We’re sending a warm and proud congratulations to Dr. Brennan Munro, who has officially earned her Certificate in Veterinary Acupuncture! 🐾🎓

After many dedicated hours of studying, exams, and hands-on training, Dr. Munro is now bringing this healing art to the animals and families we’re honoured to serve.
Here she is with Tar, one of her regular equine patients, who finds comfort and relief in his treatments. 💛🐴

Acupuncture is a time-honored practice that supports the body’s natural ability to heal. Whether it's easing pain, improving movement, or simply helping an animal feel more like themselves, this gentle approach can make a world of difference. 🌟

✨ What can acupuncture help with? Acupuncture can be used as an addition to almost any medical condition, including:
🌿 Chronic conditions like arthritis or laminitis
 🌿 Pain and inflammation
 🌿 Recovery from injury or surgery
 🌿 Mobility, comfort, and overall wellness

We’re proud to also have Dr. Haley Safnuk certified in animal acupuncture, reflecting our commitment to whole-animal care and constant growth as caregivers and pioneers in our community. 🤎

If you’ve ever wondered if acupuncture might benefit your four-legged partner, whether big or small, give us a call. We’d love to share more about how it works and whether it’s a fit for your animal’s needs.

📞 Olds: 403-556-6882
 📞 Sundre: 403-638-3774

From our barn doors to yours—thank you for trusting us with your animals. 🧡

Meet Mollie! She grew up in southern Alberta with Meet Mollie! She grew up in southern Alberta with a love for the ranch lifestyle and always knew she’d work with animals. She earned her Animal Health Technology diploma from Olds College in 2023 and also holds a certification in equine sports therapy—helping horses perform at their best.

When she’s not at the clinic, you’ll find her on the road at barrel races, rodeos, or hanging out with her family, friends, and four-legged crew. Since joining Pioneer in September, she’s embraced every part of her role, especially farm calls, equine cases, emergencies, and small animal dentistry.

Be sure to say hi next time you're at our Olds location! 👋🏼🐴
🎉 Congratulations Marian on 7+ Years with Pione 🎉 Congratulations Marian on 7+ Years with Pioneer Vet! 🎉

We’re sending a huge shoutout to Marian as she celebrates over 7 amazing years with us here at Pioneer Veterinary Services!

Marian has worn many hats over the years—from Registered Veterinary Technologist to Practice Manager and more—and her passion, leadership, and dedication have made a lasting impact on our team. She’s a natural mentor, a wealth of knowledge, and a friendly face that many in the Sundre area know and love.

When she’s not at the clinic, you’ll likely find Marian on the farm in Bergen with her husband Bryan, their four daughters, many grandkids, and an adorable crew of animals, including cows, horses, cats, and her dog Dottie. She loves spending time outdoors—riding in the mountains, hiking, and quading with Bryan whenever they get the chance.

We are so lucky to have you, Marian! Thank you for everything you bring to Pioneer Vet! 💚
