Is your furry friend feeling the heat this summer? Help them beat the heat in style with a lion shave at Cumberland County Animal Hospital!

🐾 Why Lion Shaves 🦁?

😻 Stay Cool: With temperatures rising, keeping your cat cool is essential for their well-being. Lion shaves help to reduce excess fur, preventing overheating during the hot summer months.

😻 Easy Maintenance: Say goodbye to endless brushing and shedding! Lion shaves provide a low-maintenance grooming solution, keeping your cat's coat manageable and knot-free.

😻 Stylish Look: Give your cat the regal look of a lion! Our technicians will skillfully trim your cat's fur into a majestic lion cut, ensuring they stand out as the king or queen of the jungle (or your living room!).

😻 Hygiene Benefits: Shorter fur means fewer places for dirt, debris, and parasites to hide. Lion shaves promote better hygiene, reducing the risk of skin irritations and infections.

Pictured here is Baloo, and he is very thankful to his human for giving him the gift of a lion shave - keeping him cool, comfortable & super stylish all summer long 🥰!

🚨🦔 ATTENTION PET PARENTS! 🦔🚨 We saw our first two quilled pups of the year last week so thought it would be a good time to remind you all about the potential risks porcupines can pose to our furry friends. If your pet encounters a porcupine and gets quilled, remember these important DO NOTs:

🚫 DO NOT attempt to pull out the quills yourself – improper removal can lead to pain, migration of quills causing infection, and danger to your pet.
🚫 DO NOT cut the quills – this can make removal harder, costlier, and more traumatic for your pet.
🚫 DO NOT delay seeking veterinary care – quills quickly soften over time, making them much harder to remove.

Porcupine quills can cause serious harm if not handled properly. Immediate veterinary attention is crucial to ensure the safety and well-being of your pet. Our team at Cumberland County Animal Hospital is here to provide expert care and safe quill removal for pets in need. Don't wait – act fast to protect your furry companion from the dangers of porcupine encounters. Contact us today for assistance. 🐾💙

This is what happens "behind the scenes" when your pet comes to our "big, scary" treatment area for an appointment or surgery 😅🥰. This big handsome man is Ricky, and this is only PART of the lovin' that he received from staff before his bloodwork and neuter surgery with us yesterday 😍.

🌿🐾 May is Lyme Disease Awareness Month! 🐾🌿

Did you know that ticks can carry more than just Lyme disease? They can also transmit Anaplasmosis and Ehrlichiosis, posing a threat to both pets and humans.

In Nova Scotia, from January-March 2024, there were 373 reported Lyme cases, 289 Anaplasmosis cases, and 20 Ehrlichiosis cases in canines.
It's crucial to be vigilant about tick-borne diseases!

Symptoms of Lyme disease in dogs include lameness, fever, lethargy, and swollen joints. If left untreated, Lyme disease can lead to life-threatening health complications for your furry friend.

Prevention is key! Protect your pets with Simparica Trio, a monthly preventative product that safeguards against fleas and ticks. It is also highly recommended to have your canine friend vaccinated for Lyme! A simple 15-minute blood test can screen your dog for these diseases – contact us for expert advice on tick prevention, treatment, and screening.

Wiggle-bottom clearly prefers carrots over celery any day 🐰!! We couldn't get enough of this sweet guy & his very retro hair-do 🥰!

**Warning: Blood and graphic content** 🎃👻 Here is a video to go along with our post about our two Halloween tricksters that got into a tangle with a porcupine. Please remember that porcupine quills can become a dangerous situation. Quills that break off can migrate to different areas of the body causing infection and harm to your dog so we recommend to bring them straight to a veterinary hospital where they can be removed safely and thoroughly, and to not try to remove them or cut them off at home.

These two little sweeties are still looking for their fur-ever homes! Help us get them adopted!❤

Please share so we can get this beautiful girl a family 🥺. We do not understand why Winifred is still here with us 😞! Look how funny & cute this girl is!! We love her to pieces but she so deserves a home of her own ❤️. Winifred is very well socialized - she loves people (she even comes when her peeps call her!), other cats, children and would definitely adapt quickly to a dog friend as well. Somebody please give this adorable girl the loving furrever home that she so deserves ❤️!

Video to show how displaced his sternum was !

Certain types of mushrooms such as the wild ones growing along hiking trails or even in our own backyards can be very harmful to pets. Keep your pets away from wild mushrooms and remove any that you discover growing in your yard or along your usual walking route.

These ear mites are getting their party on for Cavendish Beach Music Festival in a couple days 🥳😅!

If anyone needs a house cleaner, we are sure Sasha would love to wash your windows for you 😂. Such a sweet & goofy girl!

Joey 🐷

Did you know that we neuter/spay and treat pet piggies here at CCAH!? Joey was rescued from a bad situation by some very special humans ❤️. Joey had a very bad skin infection that we have been treating the last few weeks, and once he was healthy & strong enough to undergo anesthesia we lanced & placed a drain in a large abscess he had plus neutered him. Here is Joey post-surgery! Isn’t he so adorable snacking on his clementine!? 😍😍. A huge shoutout to Joeys new pet parents for saving him & giving him the care he needed & deserved ❤️❤️.
