Gotta love our guests. #vet #dogs #welovedogs

As cats age, they are like us, they are more susceptible to changes, disease and other complications. We can perform a blood and urine test to give us insight to anything your 'grumpy cat' may be dealing with - and maybe they don't need to be so grumpy! Ask us about our promotion on blood and urine testing this month. www.foothillsanimalhospital.ca ... #vet #cats #okotoks See more

A huge thank you to @tanya.thorn for taking the time out of her day and writing this excellent highlight on us! @tanya.thorn Biz Highlight: Foothills Animal Hospital ... We all know that our pets are part of the family & in some cases the most important member. Let me introduce you to Dr. Miranda Logan owner & veterinarian of Foothills Animal Hospital. Listening to her talk about what she does it is not surprising that she knew she would be a vet from early childhood. Dr. Logan came to Okotoks from the East Coast right out of Vet School in 2000. She launched her clinic in May 2004. In 16 years she has grown from a staff of 1 to 13. This all female staff is focused on providing compassionate, preventative care to help your pet enjoy the highest quality life possible. Her clinic is very focused on being behaviorally aware & creating a cooperative care environment for your pets. Dr. Logan has been training dogs since 1980 and that is the basis for her passion for behavior & mental health issues in animals. She has been expanding her knowledge in this area extensively since 2007. When you come into the clinic you may see Dr. Logans pet family, Cardinal (yellow lab) & Fitz (Whippet) who come to work with her every day. They are always up for a cuddle if you have time. If you are looking for a clinic that treats your pet like family & you want a proactive focus this may be the place for you. Give them a call at 403-938-3791 www.foothillsanimalhospital.ca Be sure to check out Dr. Logans awesome shoes when you bring your pet in. #bizhighlight #Okotoksbusiness #Okotoksentrepreneurs #Okotoksliving #thinkOkotoks #womenentrpreneurs #gettingtoknowourbusinesscommunity #shoplocal #councillortanya #veterinarian #dogs #cats #behaviourproblems #dogtraining #preventativecare
