𝐃𝐈𝐃 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖?

September 19 has been known as Talk Like a Pirate Day since 1995, but in 2015, cats gained their due respect with the co-celebration of National Meow Like a Pirate Day.
Since pirates are rarely seen without a cat or two (or ten) to keep rodents at bay on their ships, it’s only fitting to include them in today’s festivities.
So, as we bark like an old salt, drink rum from the bottle, and throw manners out the window, don’t forget to share your b***y with the ship’s cat.

Dogs and Cats like humans, need some RAW food in their diet. All dry and tinned foods are cooked and most have added vitamins and minerals and often preservatives.
Dr Phil feed’s his pets Dr B’s BARF and a prescription dental food for their teeth.
Dr B’s BARF is a complete and balanced RAW meat based diet that is AAFCO approved.
If your pet has not eaten a RAW meat based diet before, talk to one of our nurses about how to introduce your pet to Dr B’s BARF.

What does this mean for you and your patients….
Faster results, in some cases while you wait!
Blood tests form an important part for your ongoing healthcare for your pet, building a database for your own individual pet can be beneficial and useful in diagnoses in the future.

With reference laboratory-quality results from the ProCyte One analyzer, we can identify even the most subtle changes in our patients' complete blood count (CBC). It has the broadest hematology test menu in the veterinary industry, with veterinary-specific algorithms.

The Catalyst One analyzer delivers results for all essential chemistry parameters, giving us a better idea of various organs such as the liver, kidneys, and more!

A dog’s sense of smell is quite incredible, but did you know that his nose has as many as 300 million receptors?
In comparison, a human nose has about 5 million.

𝐑𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐛𝐨𝐰 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐠𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐲 - August 28th 2023

The death of a beloved pet, whether it’s the family dog, the family kitty, or bird, rabbit, snake, it is a sad occasion.
Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day is the day that we remember the pets that are no longer with us.
Whilst the pain of losing a pet somewhat heals over time, they are never forgotten, and today is their day. The day was founded by author Deborah Barnes as a way for people to share their memories of the pets that they have lost, whether it’s a dog, a hamster, or a snake.

National Dog Day is recognized worldwide on August 26th annually.

National Dog Day was created in 2004 by Colleen Paige, a Pet & Family Lifestyle Expert and Animal Advocate. She created this day so that all dogs can be celebrated, draw attention to the number of dogs in shelters, and encourage adoption to those who have yet to find a place to call home.

August 26 is significant to Colleen because it is the day her family adopted her Sheltie.

Whether you choose to celebrate by volunteering at a rescue home, donating to a shelter, or by giving your furry friend an extra big cuddle, make sure you spend this day acknowledging just how terrific dogs are.

Dogs and cats accumulate plaque on their teeth when saliva, food particles, and bacteria mix. If not addressed, this plaque hardens into tartar through the combination with minerals in the mouth, leading to tooth decay, gum disease, and other persistent oral health problems.

Dental disease can lead to:
• Bad breath
• Sore gums
• Loosening of teeth
• Infections in the mouth and body

𝐒𝐨......... for the month of August, when you book in a dental procedure for your cat or dog, we pop you into a draw to win a dental pack!

Because cats are so good at masking injuries or illnesses it is critical that you take them to the vet at least once a year.

This means anything that is not easily seen can be tested for through physical exams and blood work.

When was the last time we saw you and your kitty?
