DID YOU KNOW!

Your dogs and cats have a**l glands?!

A**l glands are two sacs located on the just below their a**s (inside the body). Weird, I know. But they’re not useless! The most common theory as to why domesticated animals still have them is that it helps to lubricate f***s and make defecation easier, and to help mark their territory.

They can fill up and become hard or uncomfortable often making it hard for them to defecate, can cause infections, or even burst!

How do you know if they’re too full? I’m sure we aren’t all going to want to give our babies a full re**al exam every time you think they might be having troubles, but here’s a few (non-contact) things you can watch out for:
- bum scooting or rubbing on floors
- excessively licking or trying to get at the area
- straining to p**p
- blood or pus in the stool or on the a**s

If you’re noticing signs of potentially full a**l glands that need to be released/expressed, give me a shout and let me help your baby’s bum! I can also discuss ways to help avoid this problem in the future!

Did you know, Nail trimming is an important part of your dog (and cats!) health care.
Why?
If you leave their nails too long, it can cause their balance to be off and cause musculoskeletal issues (issues in their bones/joints/muscles). It leaves them at a bigger risk of ripping off a nail (which is never a fun time!) And also leaving nails growing too long, they can grow into their paw pads and create infections and lots of pain for you pups or kittens!

It’s not just the clicking around the hardwood floor that can be a hazard for our babies. Message me today to book in for a nail trim!🐾❤️

Hello Bowden and Area!
I’m a vet tech here in Bowden.

I am getting MARRIED in a little over a month now so I’m taking a small step back from work and am looking to offer my services to anyone who may need them. I was still hoping I would be able to do what I love and work with the animals (& their owners of course) of this area in whatever way they need!

Things I can offer:
Ear Cleaning/Plucking
Nail Trims
Medication Administration (insulin Injections, eye meds, ears meds, etc)
And much MUCH more!

I know how stressful to take them into a groomer or a clinic for certain things, so if I can minimize that stress for you - let’s chat! 🤍

Feel free to shoot me a message to chat more about what I can do for you & your furry friends!
