🎉 Meet the Team! 🎉
Say hello to McKayla — the friendly face (and quick wit) keeping Birchwood’s front desk and operations running smoothly. From day-to-day admin and new projects to managing the reception team and supporting clients, she’s the one making sure everything flows so the team can focus on providing excellent care. 💯

Before joining Birchwood, McKayla spent roughly a decade working in kennels, doggy daycares, and training facilities, giving her hands-on experience with pets and a deep understanding of the people who love them. That background helps her keep things practical at Birchwood. She helps clients feel confident and supported, while making the sometimes confusing world of veterinary care a little more understandable — and maybe even a little entertaining 😅

When she’s not at the clinic, you’ll find McKayla out exploring local trails, swimming holes, and restaurants — all with her dogs by her side. Proving once and for all that the best adventures always include snacks. 🌲🍫

We’re lucky to have McKayla as part of the Birchwood family, supporting our team, our clients, and our furry friends every day!🐾💙

🐰 These three lovely ladies came in for their spays a few weeks ago — a big day for everyone involved.

Exotic patients can be extra sensitive and stress-prone, so we usually only book 1–2 exotic surgeries at a time.
But bonded bunnies do better when they stay together, so doing all three at once was the kinder choice.
A focused day for our doctor… and probably a very long day for their owner waiting for that “everyone’s done and doing great!” call.

📘 One thing that made the day smoother?
The adorable care booklet their owner made for us.
Treat preferences, petting zones, no-go spots — the whole thing was elite.
+100 pet-ownership points for both creativity and practicality. 💯

😂 And finally… we think Layla’s page needs a small update.
Her booklet says she likes “those sticks” and “head scratches,” but based on surgical-day evidence, she also enjoys a sedation protocol a little more than your average bunny.
Staff were momentarily alarmed (but quickly entertained) by her theatrical post-surgery nap pose — sprawled on her back, tongue out. Rest assured, after a few attempts and many towels, we finally got her propped upright.

Have your own mischievous bunny stories? Share them below — we love a good laugh! 🐰

We’re beyond thrilled to share that Birchwood won the Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Award for Excellence in Customer Service! 🏆✨

Being a newer clinic has come with its challenges—so much to learn, big goals that are much easier said than done, and the temptation to simply keep things moving and pay the bills—but despite all this, we’ve always kept the client experience at the forefront. 🐾

We truly couldn’t do this without our incredible team. They go above and beyond—whether in person, on the phone, or online—to make every interaction personal, helpful, and compassionate. Their creativity, care, and commitment are what make Birchwood a place where clients and their pets feel supported every step of the way, reflecting one of our core values: educating and collaborating with clients so they can make informed decisions about their pet's care. It’s incredibly rewarding to see that dedication recognized. 💛

A huge thank you to the Prince George Chamber of Commerce and everyone who made this event possible—it’s incredible to see something of this scale in Prince George, and we loved celebrating alongside so many other local businesses being recognized for their hard work. ✨ This evening was a wonderful reminder of why we do what we do, and we’re truly grateful to our community for noticing, nominating, and supporting us every step of the way. 🙏

✨ Meet Mel! ✨ Co-founder, Practice Manager, people-wrangler, problem-solver, and the powerhouse keeping Birchwood running.

This week was Practice Manager Week, and we want to give Mel some extra love. 💕

Mel does it all — literally. She balances the wants of her team and clients with the needs of the business, makes tough decisions with empathy, and carries the mental load of the clinic every day. She’s always present, checking in with the team and staying available, whether it’s answering a call poolside while on family vacation, whispering in a closet before her kids find her, or taking a call from a tarmac right before takeoff. Weekends, evenings, holidays—if Birchwood needs her, she’s there.

Although she didn’t come from a veterinary background, she’s mastered it all, supporting everyone and keeping the clinic running. Her dedication makes Birchwood a place where staff and pets thrive. 🐾

Here’s to Mel, the hero who truly does it all. 🙌

How cool is this?! Huge shoutout to Dayna at Good Caws Crow Rescue for never giving up on the tough cases. Rescue and vet med can drain your soul some days, but seeing this kind of success makes it all worth it. 🥰

Want to help make more miracles like Siren’s story possible? Good Caws has an account here at Birchwood that you can contribute to — just pop by the clinic or give us a call at 250-561-6500! 🐦‍⬛

A little late to the Vet Tech Week party, but the gratitude is never on pause. 💙

Vet techs give so much more than their skills — they give their evenings, their weekends, their family dinners and holidays, and sometimes even their sleep to be there for patients. They take on-call shifts, often stepping in for emergencies that most people couldn’t even imagine handling. They stay late after a long day, wrestling with tricky equipment, uploading diagnostics, and double-checking every detail so nothing is missed. Every tiny action, moment of vigilance, and ounce of emotional energy is poured into keeping your pets safe, comfortable, and cared for in ways that most people never even see.

Thank you to Cassandra, Kelsey, and Cassaundra — and to every tech (and assistant) making a difference every single day. 🩺🐾

🐦💫 We’re back, baby!

We know we’ve been a little MIA lately — back-to-school season brought a whirlwind of illnesses our way, and our social media gal was off enjoying some well-earned R&R with family. But we’re back, and we come bearing laughs!

Here’s a little throwback to Newton — a very hilarious bird who was feeling loopy as his sedation wore off. He was a little high, having the grandest of times, and doing his very best to debandage himself. 🐦😂

Pets like Newton remind us that sometimes a little chaos is exactly what we all need 💕

P.S. Thank you for all the blanket donations! Our patients are feeling extra cozy and loved. 🐾💖

10/15/2025

We need blankets!

Our patients love being wrapped up and warm after surgery, having a soft spot to rest their achy joints, or hiding out like true scaredy cats in their blanket fort. If you’ve got a few cozy spares at home, you can help keep our patients snug, safe, and feeling loved.

Used is totally fine—stains are welcome (we call it art, and sometimes our patients like to add their own personal touch!)—but please, no ripped, frayed, or stringy blankets that could be chewed or swallowed.

Donations can be dropped off at the clinic at 1741 Victoria Street. Thank you! ❤️
