Thank you to everyone who attended the echocardiogram clinic this weekend! I know it was difficult driving conditions for those who drove Friday and Saturday morning! We are happy that you all made it safely!!

Thank you to the Alberta residents who signed the petition for the Alberta Wild Horses! The volunteers at Help Alberta Wildies Society are grateful for your support as well!

The next echocardiogram clinic will be held at the Alberta Kennel Club Shows on the long weekend in August. There will be 3 days running from Saturday to Monday. Please keep in mind that scheduling is more difficult at a show and that we have to wait until the judging schedule is out before we can schedule. An event will be created soon for this clinic on this page to keep people updated. I expect that the clinic will open in early June.

If you are signing up on the waitlist through DogShow.ca, make sure you select all appointment time slots you would be willing to take. If you are only listed for certain time slots, I can only offer you those time slots IF a spot becomes available. Please note that there will not be any spots available for the Monday so don't select that day.

PS. I have one spot that is available for Friday morning. I have no one on the waitlist for that time slot so if you want an appointment, go add yourself to the waitlist through DogShow.ca.
