Holiday season is upon us, meaning holiday dangers for our pets too.
Guests coming and going, food and presents everywhere. We know our pets have great noses and are curious. They can sniff out yummy treats, unfortunately not all treats are safe for them.

Bravecto draw….and the winner is Amanda Legomski.

Congratulations !

Unseasonably warm temperatures this year has brought us more unwanted creepy crawlies! We are still seeing them and removing them.
It’s the reality for many parts of the province these days and Durham Region is no exception.

We have already had 17 dogs test positive for Lyme.

We also strongly advise that your dog be on a preventative year-round. We have prevention products available at Durham Veterinary Clinic, and they are all very effective at preventing numerous diseases and parasites including heartworm, ticks, fleas, and Lyme disease with an easy once a month topical or oral application.
Give us a call if you have any questions

We will never forget.

We are doing a giveaway basket worth $200 including a dose of Bravevto.
When you buy two doses per pet you get a ballet put in the draw. We will run this till the end of November.

Two doses equal 6 months of protection, if you win the draw you get another 3 months of protection.

We are highly recommending all year protection, as ticks have been so bad due to warmer temperatures.

Beat the Heat, give your pet a cool treat!

Purchase a "pup cup" for a minimum $2.00 donation to help raise money for the Major Fund, which helps pets in need.

Ask one of our staff members for your pet's pup cup.

Very important information!

Does your pup like to cool off in the lake on hot summer days? Before taking a dip, make sure it's safe by checking for water advisories. Harmful bacteria such as blue-green algae (learn more here: bit.ly/3wLzpQT), water levels and currents may make some bodies of water unsuitable for swimming. Always supervise your pet and keep safety in mind.

August 1st.

Update: U.S. dog importation rules
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced an update to its dog importation regulations and subsequent changes to its import requirements for dogs entering the U.S. These changes take effect Aug. 1 and will impact dogs travelling from Canada to the U.S. Dogs now entering the U.S. must:

Be at least six months of age.
Have an International Organization for Standardization-compliant microchip.
Appear healthy upon arrival.
Have a CDC Dog Import Form receipt (this form will only be made available by the CDC on July 15 and must be submitted through the CDC website).
Have additional documentation, which varies depending on where the dog has been in the past six months before entering the U.S., and the dog's rabies vaccination status.
To help clients understand the requirements and their responsibilities, it's recommended that veterinary clinics send clients to the CDC website and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency website.

With the province experiencing a heat wave this week, remember to keep your pet safe. Pets have a limited capacity to deal with the heat, and they can quickly become overwhelmed, leading to heat stroke (learn more about the signs and symptoms at www.ovma.org/petcare/pet-safety-tips). If you see an animal left in a hot car in distress, call 911.
