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.

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.

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.

Unseasonably warm temperatures in January, February, March and April this year brought us more unwanted creepy crawlies this spring! It’s the reality for many parts of the province these days and Durham Region is no exception.

We have already had 1 in 10 dogs tested coming back positive for Lyme.

We do strongly advise you to book a blood test(4DX), which tests for Heartworm and 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.

Summer is here, and its Barbequing season! Just a few hazards to be aware of.

Corn cobs are very tasty yet poorly digestible and if eaten, will cause intestinal obstruction. Over the years, we have removed more than our fair share of lodged corn cobs from the bowels of enterprising dogs.

Another hazard of family cookouts is skewer ingestion. Even what looks like an empty skewer to us is a tempting treat to an animal with such a developed sense of smell. Just like with sword swallowing, skewers can actually go down quite easily. However, skewers can puncture the esophagus, intestines and other organs.

Please check your pets, and yourselves. If you have any questions, please give the clinic a call.

We will be closed May 18th-20th for the Victoria Day long weekend 🇨🇦🎊

Cute Piper was in today for her booster vaccines. She is just over 4 months old, and a golden retriever cross.
She was such a happy girl.❤️
