Caring for pets in their final life stage is emotionally complex. The Quality-of-Life Consultation provides a safe, virtual space for pet parents to connect with veterinary professionals, receive guidance, and make informed decisions—reducing the stress of in-clinic visits for pets with limited mobility or chronic illness.

'When evaluating Quality-of-Life, access to near real time health alerts and continuous vital sign tracking like HRV, sleep, pain, and wellness scores changes everything,' said Dr. Asaf Dagan, chief veterinary scientist at PetPace. 'It provides a holistic view of the pet's well-being.'

At the core of this service is the PetPace smart dog collar —a clinically validated device that tracks vital signs, mobility, posture, behavior, and location. It is the only veterinarian-grade wearable that measures Heart Rate Variability (HRV), a critical indicator of pain and stress. Through advanced analytics, veterinary teams can monitor health trends over time rather than relying on isolated data points.

Designed by veterinary experts, the consultation equips practices with customizable pain scales, QOL assessment forms, and educational tools to guide clients with clarity and compassion.

'Veterinary care shouldn't end when a client leaves the clinic,' said Dr. Chris Armstrong, veterinarian and industry advisor. 'The Quality-of-Life consult empowers teams to extend care virtually, while streamlining workflow and maintaining high standards of care.'

The Quality-of-Life Consultation is the first offering in TelmyVet's upcoming Consult+ series. Future services will include senior care, chronic disease management, epilepsy, reproduction, pain management, behavior, weight control, and more—all supported by the real-time health data provided by PetPace technology.

Suspect arrested after car crashes into Cirque du Soleil venue in East Vancouver
A car crashed into the entrance to Pacific Coliseum in East Vancouver during a Cirque du Soleil performance on June 5, 2025. (Credit: Mike Roberts) A suspect was arrested after allegedly crashing a car into a venue in East Vancouver during a Cirque du Soleil performance Thursday evening. Few details have been confirmed, but the Vancouver Police Department said the incident does not appear to be an act of terrorism. 'The driver was apprehended under the Mental Health Act,' the VPD said in a brief social media statement. There have been no reports of injuries. The vehicle slammed into the entrance of Pacific Coliseum around 8 p.m., approximately one hour after a performance of Cirque du Soleil: Crystal had begun. Witness Mike Roberts was at the show and said he heard a loud bang that he initially assumed was part of the act. Roberts told CTV News he quickly got up out of his seat after seeing 'a small piece of the vehicle' had landed near his feet. 'Went behind the curtains and from there saw the car that was sitting inside, or partially inside the Coliseum doors,' he said. Security apprehended the driver – identified as a 30-year-old Vancouver resident – until police arrived on the scene. Roberts said he briefly saw officers hogtie the suspect. The witness told CTV News the incident was particularly alarming coming weeks after the Lapu-Lapu Day attack on April 26, which left 11 people dead and dozens of others injured. While many details of the crash remain unknown, 'Your mind is going to go there,' Roberts said. The Cirque du Soleil show ultimately finished following an extended intermission.

Window air conditioners pulled in Canada after reports of respiratory issues linked to mould
Health Canada urges consumers to stop using these window air conditioners immediately over mould concerns. (Handout) Tens of thousands of window air conditioners are being recalled in Canda due to the potential risk of mould exposure, which could lead to respiratory symptoms, according to Health Canada. The health agency says U and U+ window air conditioners were made by Midea and sold in brand names including Midea, Comfort Aire, Danby, Insignia, Keystone and more. The recall is a joint effort from Health Canada, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (USCPSC) and GD Midea Air-Conditioning Equipment. To see the full list including the model numbers visit Health Canada's website. 'Pooled water in the air conditioners can fail to drain quickly enough, which can lead to mould growth,' the recall notice said. 'Mould exposure poses risks of respiratory issues or other infections to some consumers.' Nearly 46,000 units were sold in Canada, while 1.7 million were sold across the U.S. The affected units were sold from March 2020 to May 2025. While there have no confirmed health-related incidents in Canada, the company has received five Canadian reports of mould found in the units as of June 3. In the U.S., the company has received 152 reports of mould, including 17 cases where consumers reported symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, sore throats, allergic reactions or respiratory infections that may be linked to mould exposure. Health Canada urges consumers to contact the company for a free repair or refund which will be based on the purchase or manufacture date.
