With cryo therapy your pets small lesions are treated with a small jet of nitrous oxide which destroys the cell membrane and the lesion will fall off at home in a few weeks! No stress, no surgery, no down time!
Ear mites from one of our lovely feline patients under the microscope! These guys are barely visible to the naked eye, but highly transmissible between your pets in the home. Signs of ear mites are head shaking, scratching the ears, and dark waxy debris in the ear canal. Parasite protection can help keep your pets mite free, call us at 604-854-2313 and we can discuss your best option!
Keeping Our Furry Friends Safe! It's National Pet ID Week, and here are FVAH we are committed to ensuring every pet is protected. Internal ID is ideal as collars and tags can break if a pet is lost, contact info is easily updated, and all shelters and veterinary hospitals can scan for microchips. We are raising money for Winston's Wishes with a $25 microchip fundraiser through the end of April, call us to book 604-854-2313!
MIDNIGHT MOMENT! To know him is to love him, and to love him is to know...well, he loves food!!! He has allergies which result in pretty significant ear infections, but this cat throws caution to the wind and devours any human food left unattended. You may also find him on occasion upside down like a chonky trash-panda in the nearest garbage bin, scavenging whatever morsels were left behind. Here we observe Sir Amazing Midnight in fine form, on a post-surgical high and hungry from being fasted, it gave us all a good chuckle.....enjoy! 😆
MIDNIGHT MOMENT!
As you all know, Sir Amazing Midnight, our favorite clinic cat and everyone's baby here at FVAH, was diagnosed with cancer back in the fall. He had surgery to remove an adenocarcinoma in his ear in November, but we knew given the location that clear margins would be difficult. Since then, his cancer has unfortunately metastasized and he is not a candidate for chemotherapy. We will continue to focus on a good quality of life, which he has currently, and giving him all the hugs and kisses he can stand. If you see him next time you are in clinic make sure to lavish some love on him ❤ and stay tuned for many more Midnight Moments!
MEET JASPER! Smart, good looking, talented-ladies the perfect man does exist, he just has 4 legs instead of 2! Dr. Alardah fell in love with this handsome golden while he was in for a visit last week, if you need a good boy in your life we encourage you to check out your local animal shelters and help another pet come home for the holidays.

Turn the sound up for this guy. You can tell by his loud purring that Leo loves staying at the Cat Nap Inn and we love having him here.
Have you met Midnight before? He is our clinic cat and one of his favorite spots in the clinic is in our display window lounging in the sun. He loves to soak up the sunshine! Check out the display window when you're here next time and you may find him there.

Sound up for this one. The sound you are hearing is music to our ears after a c-section. The puppies in this litter came out screaming to the world that they're here. Welcome to the world puppies.

Nap Time for Miss Mimi. This sweet girl was just taking a little snooze after her spay surgery today. Turn up your volume and you can hear her snoring.

Dog treadmill
The best approach to exercise with dogs is daily controlled activity. The list of possible exercised for dogs is lengthy, and they range from low impact activities such as walking, to high impact activities like running and agility. Here are some exercise options.
- Walking – this is a great low impact exercise that most dogs can engage in successfully. Start with what’s achievable and then slowly increase the length of the walks by a couple of minutes every week.
- Swimming – depending on the breed, this is a great form of exercise to help with cardiovascular fitness.
- Running – this may be a suitable option for a pet that is only mildly overweight. It requires a certain baseline of physical fitness and could exacerbate certain orthopedic conditions.
- Hiking or trail walking – walling on different terrain can improve the use of different muscles and may be a safer alternative to walking on concrete.
- Land based treadmill – Another great form of controlled activity that can be used regardless of the weather and also the initial fitness of the pet.
