🦌✨ Elk Pregnancy Testing with Dr. Hans & Andy

🦌✨ Elk Pregnancy Testing with Dr. Hans & Andy! ✨🦌Dr. Hans and his tech Andy had an exciting farm call—preg-testing a herd of elk! 🩺🔬 While preg testing wapiti (elk) is very similar to cattle, the efficient setup ensured a safe and successful experience for both the team and the animals.

✅ Why preg test?
Pregnancy testing helps all farmers prepare for the calving season. This keeps herds healthy, farms efficient, and operations profitable!

Have questions about preg testing your herd? Call Pioneer Vet today! 📞

🎉❤️🎊 After 4.5 wonderful years at Pionee

🎉❤️🎊 After 4.5 wonderful years at Pioneer Veterinary Services, our dear Janet is preparing to retire on March 28th. Throughout her time with us, she has worn many hats, but her passion truly shone in managing our large animal inventory and pharmacy. Janet has been an invaluable part of our team, and she will be deeply missed by both her coworkers and the Pioneer Vet community.

As she steps into this next chapter, Janet is looking forward to spending more time with her family and her beloved dog, Ranger, on the farm. Please join us in wishing her all the best in retirement by leaving your warm wishes in the comments below!

Hero Highlight: This is our RVT Julia and her belo

Hero Highlight: This is our RVT Julia and her beloved Brody! 🤎

Brody donated his blood to create serum eye drops for a fellow canine! This type of eye drop is a blood-derived product that can be used to treat many eye conditions but is most commonly used to treat corneal ulcers. Sometimes, animals are too small for the amount of blood we need to draw, so we rely on amazing donor animals such as Brody, who have more blood to spare!

Thank you, Julia and Brody, for being heroes and making a difference! 🐾 🤎

"We have always been made to feel like we are numb

"We have always been made to feel like we are number 1 clients whether it be with 20 cows or 170 cows. Hans, Fiona, Haley have always always texted back replies and help even when they don't have to. We would be lost without them!!" - Curtis

Thank you for your 5-star review! 🙌🏼 We are so grateful to support you and your herd 🐮

💪✨ We Can Do It! ✨💪

This March 8th, we’re celebrating International Women’s Day by recognizing the incredible women who keep our clinic running strong! Proudly part of a female-led industry, our team is filled with hardworking, compassionate, and dedicated women who give their all—every single day.

From the exam room to the barn, from surgery to reception, these women do it all, and we couldn’t be prouder. Today, we don our red bandanas in honor of the trailblazers before us and the unstoppable women beside us.

👩‍⚕️🐾 Here’s to strong women—may we know them, may we be them, may we celebrate them!

🛑🐾 March is Tick Prevention Month! 🐾🛑

🛑🐾 March is Tick Prevention Month! 🐾🛑

Did you know that 1 in 5 Blacklegged ticks in Canada could carry the bacteria that causes Lyme disease? In high-risk areas, that number can be even higher! Tick season is when temperatures reach over 4 degrees celsius, so now is the time to get your preventative care!

🕷️ Protect your pets with these two key layers of defense:
✅ Know the risks – Ticks are active in many areas and seasons. Learn where and when they thrive at www.ticktalkcanada.com.
✅ Use vet-approved tick prevention – Consistently giving your pet their tick control medication is essential to keeping them protected. Missed doses create gaps, and gaps open the door for ticks!
📞 Call Pioneer Vet today to discuss the best tick prevention for your pet and pick up their protection! Don’t let ticks sneak through this season.

Meet Emerson! 👋🏼

Emerson grew up farming in the Sundre area, where a deep love for both small and large animals sparked a passion for veterinary care. Graduating high school in 2024, she also achieved an extraordinary milestone by graduating at age 16 through Olds college as a Veterinary Technician Assistant. All while still in high school!

We are super lucky to have her aboard the Pioneer Vet crew! Say hello to Emerson next time you are at our Sundre location

Her career path began at 15 when she started volunteering at our Sundre Pioneer Location. And now at 18 years old works with us full time. Her dedication to animal care has been constant throughout her life, and she continues to thrive in her role, helping both animals and their owners.

Outside of work Emerson enjoys dirtbiking, horseback riding, and spending time with her dogs. Having her own pets allows her to care for animals both personally and professionally! 🐴 🐶

We are super lucky to have her aboard the Pioneer Vet crew! Say hello to Emerson next time you are at our Sundre location. 🐾

🦉 Meet Otis the Great Horned Owl! 🦉

We were thrilled to welcome Otis, a Great Horned Owl! Otis was rescued by the Medicine River Wildlife Centre (MRWC) in 2003 after being found cold and alone. He’s inspired countless people through wildlife presentations.

Fun facts about Otis and his species:
🪶 Otis weighs 2.5 lbs and could live up to 40 years.
🪶 Great Horned Owls are Alberta's Provincial Bird and known for their iconic “horns” (ear tufts).
🪶 They’re expert hunters, eating rodents, hares, skunks, and even other birds.
🪶 Their name reflects their incredible hearing—“Otis” means “one who hears well”!

Thank you to MRWC for their amazing work, and to Otis for being an incredible ambassador for wildlife. 💛
