It is with sad hearts that we announce Brittany will be leaving us to return to her home town of Regina.  Brittany joined the team at West Kootenay Animal Hospital in February 2015 and immediately made clients and pets feel at home when they arrived at West Kootenay Animal Hospital.  Her positive energy and laughter will be missed by the entire team, but we understand her need to be home with her family in Saskatchewan right now.  Good Luck Brittany, we know you will succeed at whatever adventure lies ahead!

Lessons Learned from the Animals in my life

Submitted by WKAH on Fri, 2015-10-02 13:54

Today I had the good fortune to enjoy a day off and a morning hike with my two dogs, Maisy and Stella.  Fall is one of my favorite times of year and as I enjoyed the beautiful day and watching my dogs run through the forest, it struck me how much we can learn from the animals in our lives.  I hope you will allow me to take a moment and share some of these lessons with you.
