Above: Melissa and Lisa (with Daphne), Dr. Shawn Llewellyn (with Sprite), Chantelle and Karman.
Dr. Shawn Llewellyn, although not a new addition to the hospital, has become the newest partner at Scottsdale Veterinary Hospital as of October 2011. We congratulate him on this exciting venture.
Chantelle Percy has been our Office Manager since January 2011. Chantelle's prior background was in animal welfare, specifically marketing and administration. She has made a great addition to our hospital team. Chantelle has lived in Surrey for 15 years and enjoys spending her free time with her two children. She also has two dogs, Carl, a Rottweiler, and Chewy, her Brussels Griffon.
Joining our Tech Team in the last twelve months are Lisa and Karman. Both are Animal Health Technician graduates from Douglas College. They help to make up our team of 10 technicians that serve your pets both behind the scenes and through education you on treatment decisions and care.
Joining our Reception Team this year is Melissa. Laura has also returned from maternity leave. These ladies help make up our team of 10 reception/assistants serving you and your pets.
Daphne and Sprite are recent additions to the hospital. Sprite, a one year old budgie, was found wondering Scott Road one day this past spring. Daphne, who is 8 months old, was found at a construction yard with a spinal injury. She has recovered well and we are all excited to have her as our new hospital cat ‘in-training’
HOLIDAY HAZARDS
Christmas Trees/ Decorations
- Pine needles along with wire hooks and small breakable ornaments can cause injury as they pass through the intestinal tract.
- Ensure your tree is well anchored as cats often find them an enticing object to climb, or as in the case of dogs, tug at or knock it over with their strong tails.
- Tinsel, ribbons and other strings can be extremely problematic as they are an exciting toy especially for cats, but can lead to intestinal blockages as they tangle the small intestines or ball up in the stomach.
- Preservatives in the water for your tree can lead to stomach upset.
- Electric cords are often fun to pull and chew on for many of our curious pets. Remember, electrocution, shocks or even severe burns are a major risk.

WINTER HAZARDS
We are fortunate in the Lower Mainland that we avoid most harsh winter weather and storms and our cold snaps do not last long, but there are times each winter when we have to use antifreeze and de-icing products. Read More >>
