Spring is here and so is parasite season! To keep your pets safe, make an appointment to talk to your veterinarian about parasite prevention, including options to help protect your pet from heartworm, fleas and ticks.

As the temperatures rise, ticks are more active. Remember to check your pet for ticks after they've been outdoors, including under their collar, between their toes, under their tail and around their ears.

Removing a tick as soon as you spot it can reduce the chances of disease transmission. If you find a tick, use tweezers to grasp it as close to the skin as possible, and pull it straight out without squeezing or twisting.

If you need help or want to learn more about how to protect your pet from ticks, speak to your veterinarian.

We are looking for a dedicated, enthusiastic, compassionate RVT to join our team, in the lovely small town of Stirling. We are looking for a full time RVT, but would consider part time as well. Our technician hours are 8-1 on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays 8-5 and roughly 1 Saturday per month 8:30- 1 pm. We refer our after-hours emergencies to an after-hour hospital.

Our clinic is a one veterinarian and currently a one technician practice. We strive to provide excellent patient care to our dog and cat patients and excellent customer service to their owners. Many of our clients have been with our practice for decades, and we have several multi generational families.

The responsibilities of our technicians include induction and monitoring of anesthesia, performing radiography (including dental X rays), performing dental procedures, as well as performing wonderful nursing care to the patients in the hospital. Our technicians are also heavily involved in our client appointments, obtaining patient histories, and doing client education.

If you would like to join our fun-loving team, please contact Tammy at info@hastingsvet.ca. Salary commensurate on experience.

Are your pets on year-round tick prevention? 🧐 January is supposed to be cold, but sometimes we get these warmer days (that ticks love)! Make sure your pets and family are protected from Lyme and other tick borne diseases all year!
