Meet Bruin and Pinocchio! 💛

These two may have quite the size difference, but that didn’t stop Bruin from being the best support buddy during Pinocchio’s very first visit with us. Dr. Fiona’s dog Bruin stayed close by, making sure his little friend felt safe and brave.

It’s always heartwarming to see the special bonds our patients share - whether they’re big, small, fluffy, or feathered!

We can't wait to see Pinocchio for the rest of his puppy visits! 🐶🐾

🚨 March is Tick Awareness month! Tick season i 🚨 March is Tick Awareness month!

Tick season is considered to be from April to October, so now is the time to make sure you're prepared. 🌡️ Be aware: ticks can be active in temperatures as low as 4 degrees Celsius.

👉 The timely removal of ticks is important! It takes about 36-48 hours before Lyme disease bacterium can be transmitted to the host.

Follow these tips to prevent tick bites on you and your furry family members:

✅ Walk on cleared trails - avoid walking in tall grassy or wooded areas.
✅ Wear light-coloured clothing and cover up as much skin as possible.
✅ Check yourself and pets for ticks after leaving a grassy or wooded area where ticks may live.
✅ Check your pets for ticks after they have been outside. You cannot get Lyme disease from your pet, but your pet can bring infected ticks inside.

If you have any questions, just give us a call:

We had the BEST time at our Valentine’s Kissing Booth this month! 💘

Thank you to all the adorable little (and not-so-little) Valentines who stopped by to plant some slobbery smooches on our team. From sweet nose boops to full-face kisses, we felt the love all month long! 😘🐶🐱

We loved snapping photos, sharing laughs, and celebrating the unconditional love our patients bring into our lives every single day.

Our hearts (and scrub tops) are officially covered in kisses 💗

Thank you for making this Valentine’s season so special — we truly have the sweetest clients and patients around!

Calving season doesn’t always stick to business Calving season doesn’t always stick to business hours - and when you’re hauling in at midnight, we don’t want anything to be a surprise.

🚜 Where to Come:
Our trailer entrance is located beside Jiffy Lube
Pull around to the start of the chute, begin backing up, and unload your…
🐮 Bessie the Boss Lady
🐮 Moolissa
🐮 or whatever you’ve lovingly (or not so lovingly) named her this week😉

Once unloaded, our new calving chute system will safely guide your heifer straight into the maternity pen where we can get to work quickly and efficiently.
The goal?
Less chaos.
Less stress.
Better outcomes.

🐄 How Producers Can Prepare
Emergencies move fast — preparation saves time.
✔️ Make sure your trailer is hooked up
✔️ Tires are aired up
✔️ Plugged in if it’s cold
✔️ Clear and accessible to haul at a moment’s notice
When it’s go-time, you don’t want to be digging out a frozen hitch at 1:30 AM.

🚨 What Qualifies as a Calving Emergency?
If you’re wondering whether to call — call. We’re here 24/7.
But generally, emergencies include:
🟤 Active pushing for 30+ minutes with no progress
🟤 Feet showing but no advancement
🟤 Only one leg coming
🟤 Nose but no feet
🟤 Backwards calf (tail first)
🟤 Significant bleeding
🟤 A large calf that won’t pass
🟤 Water bag out for 2+ hours with no progress
🟤 Twins that aren’t lining up properly
If something doesn’t look right, trust your gut.

📞 Our on-call veterinarians are available by phone 24/7.
Please call our Olds location at 403-556-6882 or our Sundre location at 403-638-3774 anytime you have an emergency.
We’re here to help, day or night to keep your cows safe and your calves coming strong. 

For additional guidance when making that difficult call, we recommend reviewing the Calf 911 Calving Decision Tree from the Beef Cattle Research Council — an excellent resource to help assess labour progress and determine when veterinary assistance is needed:

Today we had our very own Snow Angel show up at Today we had our very own Snow Angel show up at the Olds clinic!

A huge thank you to Jordan, who dropped off sweet Belle for her surgery this morning… and then grabbed a shovel and cleared our walks before heading out. 🐾❤️ What an incredible act of kindness!

While our team was busy welcoming in all the other critters for their procedures, Jordan made sure our clients and patients had a safe, clear path to the door. That kind of thoughtfulness does not go unnoticed.

We are so grateful for wonderful humans like you. Thank you for looking out for us the way we look out for your pets. 💙

Belle is lucky to have you — and so are we!
🐾 Shout-out to Buck — the bravest Pioneer! 🐾

Buck came in for his vaccine appointments and absolutely crushed it. Calm, brave, and such a good boy from start to finish! We’re so proud of this handsome guy and grateful for patients like Buck who make our days brighter. 💙

Full Review:
My dog has had obstruction surgery two different times here. The front desk staff are amazing, they treated my dog and I so good during a stressful time. Dr Lisa is amazing, she is a fantastic surgeon and vet.
My dog was treated with such care, I was informed of everything happening. I would highly recommend this vet for quality care and reasonable price.Entirely grateful that they saved my dogs life 2 different times. Thank you!

We offer dental cleanings/procedures all year roun We offer dental cleanings/procedures all year round, but this month is extra special! ✨ February is Dental Month! 🦷

This before-and-after showcases an amazing transformation! This 10-year-old Corgi was like most geriatric dogs - she needed a really good cleaning!

Our RVT and DVM performed a COHAT - comprehensive oral health assessment and treatment. This consisted of:
🦷 a cleaning (scaling),
🦷 polishing, and
🦷 radiographs in preparation for the doctor's exam!

After the exam, the doctor elected that no extractions were necessary!

What's the key to minimizing extractions for your pets? Committing to routine dental cleanings! 📆 Every patient is different, but most doctors recommend a cleaning every 1-2 years.

✨ To book your dental consultation or procedure, call us at either Sundre or Olds Pioneer Vet!
