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.

Hank is the cutest boy, with so many amazing curls!!! He was an absolute superstar today for his second set of puppy vaccines and a nail trimming. Spending a little time with him definitely brought us some sunshine on a rainy day!!!

Ivan❤️. Rejected by his mama who fed his twin brother but not him….so he was bottle fed and then he found a wonderful family. He’s a lovely fellow who came in to have what we think is a dog bite tended to. Sweetest guy ever!❤️❤️

My mom, Dr Karen, gave me some diphenhydramine since she claims I’m in no danger of airway compromise or anaphylaxis. I beg to differ as I think this was possibly the most painful thing that has ever happened to me in my seven month life. However, I did enjoy the treat with some pink pills in it💕🐾

We would love to share a warm welcome to our newest member of the rescue! 🎉

Meet Vazia 🖤 [vah zeee uh]; feminine Portugese for "void" which is a popular black cat name!

She is an incredibly friendly feline who loves affection and play time! Some of her favourite pass times include be picked up and held, sitting on a lap or playing with toys. See the comments of this post for a playtime video!😽🩶

She uses the litter box perfectly, enjoys her scratching posts & loves the cardboard ones - which she will generously be sent to her new home with by her foster mom!

Even though she's so friendly, she is very playful. She is very gentle when playing with her human friends - play wrestling legs and litte pretend love bites! Vazia is alway cautious to keep her claws to herself! 😸🌸

The best home for Vazia will be an indoor one, she loves all toys and is an excellent bug hunter!🐜🐛🐞

If you have any questions or would like to schedule a meet and greet with Vazia, please reach out to the vet clinic and we can arrange one with her foster mom! ✨💓
