Regina's 24-Animal Care Centre in Regina is no longer providing 24 hour emergency services and supervised hospitalization care for ill patients.
A veterinary shortage is being observed across Saskatchewan as Regina’s 24-hour Animal Care Centre will no longer provide emergency services during the evenings.
Gillian Muir, the dean of the Western College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Saskatchewan, said the veterinarian shortage has been building for a while but became quite a bit more acute during the pandemic.Greg Fergus replaces Rota as Speaker, 1st Black Canadian to hold jobCanadians are facing a ‘financial storm,’ and experts say it’s time to plan ahead
Muir said the reason for the increase in demand for veterinary services is that there are more pet owners and not enough people to meet that demand. The Western College of Veterinary Medicine is addressing this in a few ways, such as increasing its class size to 88 instead of 78 students.
