Dogs! Woof! Our loving companions deserve loving care.
In general, dogs can have water all night.
Just remove their access to food by 10–11 pm the night before surgery.
Different levels of rest will be recommended based on the type of surgery your dog will be having.
Those having major orthopedic surgery will need to be crate rested for a majority of their recovery time. This will mean staying in a crate unless they are being directly supervised and are not trying to play, run or jump.
Specific instructions will be written for all patients to go home with.
With gratitude, mutual respect, and reciprocity, we acknowledge the ancestral home, culture, and oral teachings of the Treaty 7 signatories which include the Îethka Stoney Nakoda Nation (consisting of the Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations), and the Tsuut’ina Nation. We also acknowledge the Métis people of Alberta Region 3 who call Treaty 7 their home.
While acknowledging the truth of the many First Nations, Métis, and Inuit in Alberta and expressing gratitude and respect for the land we use, we will continue to commit ourselves to full and proper reconciliation. Our practices as a business and with the animals in our care will be rooted in this acknowledgment and influenced by our commitment to reconciliation and continued learning. We recognize our shared responsibilities going forward to help bring everyone together on this journey of Truth and Reconciliation.
