Hastings Lake Animal Hospital

Hastings Lake Animal Hospital Dr. Karen Allen & Associates. Proudly 100% Canadian owned & operated. Full service animal hospital offering quality veterinary care for cats, dogs and farm pets.

One evening at a dinner party one of our good friends posed the question to the group "What would you do if you won the lotto for $10 million today?". Everybody in the group was quick to rattle off loans they would pay off, things they would buy for themselves and loved ones, trips they would take and charities they would support. Most importantly, they all said "I would quit my job tomorrow!". I was the only one at the table who said I would do all the same things except I wouldn't quit my job. I said I would invest in my veterinary practise and continue practising. Anybody who knows me would not be even a little bit surprised by my response. I absolutely love what I do and have never felt like I have worked a day in my life. Until that dinner party, I had not realized what a gift I had, to love my work. I want to spend the remainder of my career practising in my own community and contributing something back to this wonderful group of people who have shaped this lovely rural neighbourhood. Our community is a joy to live in, a paradise for our children and full of people who love animals as much as I do.

I was looking into licensing our newish puppies and discovered that Strathcona County has new dog bylaws AND the Strathcona County Library has a microchip scanners available! Very cool! Kudos to the county - this is a great program! I highly recommend everyone borrow a microchip scanner (or come to the clinic to have your pets' chips scanned) and ensure their pet's chip is present and that the information is correct (you can update your information on the website of the microchip). We primarily use EIDAP microchips so if you're one of our patients go to https://www.eidap.com/

Here's the details from the Strathcona County website.
Responsible Dog Ownership Bylaw changes made in 2024:
Effective April 1, 2024 dog owners in Strathcona County will no longer be required to purchase an annual dog license.
February 13, 2024, Council approved Responsible Dog Ownership Bylaw amendments that replace the license requirement with the requirement that dogs wear visible identification on a collar or harness beginning April 1, 2024. The Dog ID must include the owner’s current phone number. (Some exceptions apply, but failure to comply can result in fines.)

Microchips and tattoos increase the likelihood of reuniting you with your pet. Microchip scanners are available at the Strathcona County Library. Card holders can borrow one of five scanners to check an animal for a microchip, to check if a pet’s chip is working or to ensure the pet’s information is updated. Visit sclibrary.ca/kits for more information.

One of our models was somewhat more cooperative than the other! 😂😂. Winnie was in for her final set of puppy vaccinations and was sharing some love with RVT Miranda. Shout out to Miranda and all our RVTs - October was RVT month and we were so busy with the Farm Cat Clinic I didn’t acknowledge their special month!😬.
Our RVTs keep the place ticking along and allow me to focus on my veterinary duties. We are absolutely a team in caring for your pets and I could not do it without them. Our current team is a wonderful blend of talents and skills with some seasoned RVTs and some newer to the profession RVTs.
A big thankyou to Nikky, Breanne, Tina, Miranda, Abi, Trista, Ashley, Trina our locum RVT Steph. I love this team ❤️🐾

Some of us were more into the Blue Jays game last night than others! Number four of these little rascals not pictured as she was a blur all night playing with the dog! The kittens are now dog and cat tested and have passed with flying colours 💕🐾
Still looking for homes - if anybody needs a cuddle bug (or a busy body) to watch the Jays give us a call❤️

Watching the Blue Jays with this busy (and very distracting! lol!) kitten crew. These four girls are 8 weeks old and looking for homes. They are bottle raised orphans - thanks to foster mom Cassandra for all her tireless dedication to these hungry little rascals💕🐾. They have perfect litter box habits, first vaccinations, deworming and are negative for feline Leukemia and FIV. Their adoption fee includes spay and microchip💕💕
If you’re interested please call the clinic 780-662-2227.
Go Blue Jays!!!!
