🚨 ATTENTION TO PET TRAVELERS 👉 It is Heartwo 🚨 ATTENTION TO PET TRAVELERS 👉 It is Heartworm Awareness Month! Heartworm in dogs is a serious and potentially fatal disease caused by parasitic worms that live in the heart and lungs. Dogs get heartworms from the bite of an infected mosquito. When a mosquito carrying heartworm larvae bites a dog, the larvae enter the dog's bloodstream. In the early stages of the disease, dogs may show no symptoms at all. As the infestation progresses, dogs may experience coughing, fatigue, weight loss, and difficulty breathing. 🤔 But, do we have Heartworm in Canada? ‼️ Yes. Heartworm occurs in warmer regions, where summer temperatures are high enough for the worm larvae to survive inside the carrier mosquitoes. 🦟 The high-risk areas in Canada are southern Ontario, southern Quebec, Manitoba, and the Okanagan in British Columbia. Heartworm is also found in most states in the US. It appears that heartworms are unable to survive at prevailing temperatures in Alberta and Saskatchewan. So why are we talking about Heartworm, if we don’t have an issue in Alberta? You guessed it - because we have a lot of clients that TRAVEL with their pets! ⚠️ If you are taking your pet to any of the above high-risk provinces or anywhere in the USA, it is very important that you call your vet team to discuss your heartworm prevention needs!

As the Spring weather gets warmer, everyone wants As the Spring weather gets warmer, everyone wants to get moving! 🐕 Now is a great time for our pets to work off their winter weight! Here are some things to consider while starting your exercise journey together: 🐌 Start slow - Your pets have been sedentary through the cold winter months, and their joints and muscles aren’t used to high activity. If you start too fast, they may take it too far. This includes tweaking muscles or even tearing ligaments. ☀️ Lose the winter jackets - If you’re out and about and really working off that pent-up energy from being inside all day, your pets are going to get hot! Winter jackets and booties might not be necessary anymore. ❄️ Ice - It is that time of year when the ice is melting and freezing in an endless cycle. You may have noticed that this is leaving really sharp edges. Be very mindful when you’re out for a walk or running on the gravel. Common injuries we see include slips or cuts to the paw pad. Stay safe and have fun out there! And if you have any questions, feel free to ask! - #albertavets #albertavetclinic #YYCPets #dogsofinstagram

🐂 Spring Bull Semen Testing Calving season is 🐂 Spring Bull Semen Testing Calving season is underway, which means it’s already time to start preparing for next year’s breeding season. One important step for success is semen testing your bulls. Who: Herd or sale bulls 12 months of age and older What: A breeding soundness exam includes a full physical exam, scrotal circumference measurement, and semen evaluation to assess motility, density, and sperm morphology. Bulls must have 70% normal sperm or higher to pass. When: Ideally 4–6 weeks before breeding season so there’s time for re-testing or treatment if needed. Where: Testing can be done on farm or at our clinic using our hydraulic chute if needed. Why: Identifies issues that may impact fertility, conception rates, and breeding success. Bonus: While the bulls are through the chute, we can also administer vaccines (such as Fusogard) or test for Tritrichomonas. 📞 Give us a call to book your bull semen testing this spring! ☎️ Olds: 403-556-6882 ☎️ Sundre: 403638-3774
🐾 Flea, Tick & Parasite Prevention 🐾 As the 🐾 Flea, Tick & Parasite Prevention 🐾 As the weather warms up, parasites wake up too — and they don’t wait for summer! 🕷️ Parasites we commonly see in pets: • Ticks (especially in wooded areas, river valleys & pastureland) — some can transmit disease • Fleas that can live indoors year-round and become more active as temperatures rise • Intestinal parasites like roundworms and tapeworms ⚠️ Why prevention matters: • Many pets show little to no symptoms until parasite levels are advanced • Parasites can cause skin issues, digestive upset, weight loss & anemia • Some parasites can be passed to people — especially children • Prevention is safer, easier, and more affordable than treatment ✅ What we recommend: ✔ Flea & tick prevention during risk seasons ✔ Routine parasite control for puppies, kittens & outdoor pets ✔ Fecal testing to screen for intestinal parasites ✔ Vet-recommended products tailored to your pet’s lifestyle ✔ Regular wellness exams to keep prevention on track 📞 Questions or need fecal testing for your pet? Give us a call — we’re always happy to help! Olds: 403-556-6882 Sundre: 403-638-3774 🐶🐱 Prevention now = peace of mind all season long. - #Pioneer #YYCpets #CochranePets #ABVMA
Have you met a KuneKune pig before? These adorable Have you met a KuneKune pig before? These adorable pigs are quickly becoming a favourite for small farms and homesteads! Originally from New Zealand, KuneKune (pronounced “cooney cooney”) means “fat and round” in Māori — and once you see them, the name makes perfect sense! Here are a few reasons why farmers love them: 🌱 Great grazers – Unlike many pig breeds, KuneKunes are known for grazing grass rather than rooting up pastures, making them excellent natural lawnmowers. 🐖 Small and manageable – They’re a smaller heritage breed, which makes them easier to handle compared to many commercial pigs. ❤️ Friendly personalities – KuneKunes are incredibly social, gentle, and often great with kids, making them a wonderful addition to family farms. 🥓 Delicious pork – Their meat is well known for being flavourful and nicely marbled, thanks to their natural fat content. And of course, we can’t forget their signature “wattles” (the little tassels under their chin) that give them their extra charm! Have KuneKunes on your farm? We’d love to see them — feel free to share your photos in the comments! 📸🐷 - #BreedSpotlight #Kunekune #FarmLife #Pioneervet #MixedAnimalPractice PigFacts 🐾

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