Fall is Here!
Summer may be gone but ticks and fleas are still active and hungry.
Only trust tick and flea preventatives from your veterinarian. Buying online or from other sources introduces the potential of counterfeit products that don't do anything or worse. We are always happy to help you find the best preventative for your pet...call us at 905-336-6222. #tickprevention #tickawareness #fleas #fleaprevention #walkerslinevet

This morning, at 7:00 am, a tearful good-bye was said to Max as he jetted off to Alberta. We sent his favourite toys, (his bell is his favourite) and some goldfish crackers, and a photo of Melissa, Alexa (his favourite), and Bella so he remembers us with him. Bella got him a new toy so he will have something cool to chew. We know he will have a good home with other birds to sqwawk with. He will be at the Open Wings Parrot Sanctuary. A special thank you to Claramaria Riedemann, the Open Wings Parrot Sanctuary, Cheryl and Mike Corner for all your help in giving Max a forever home. We love you Max and will miss you so much. #openwingsparrotsanctuary #amazonparrot #parrots #walkerslinevet #walkerslineveterinaryhospital #birdlovers
We sadly have to rehome our precious Max. Melissa, Bella, and Alexa are absolutely heartbroken but know he is going to a great new home and that he will be happy there! On Monday morning, he will be flying to Alberta. Melissa customized his carrier so he can have a safe and comfortable flight, including his favourite treat, goldfish crackers. We will have an update on Monday.
Max loves our plant, whose name is Larry (courtesy of Alexa!). Maybe it makes him feel like he is his natural environment. #walkerslinevet #amazonparrot #parrots
Our adorable Max bobbing to the music! He may be middle aged, but he knows how to get his groove on! #parrots #amazonbluefront #walkerslinevet #birds #amazonparrotsofinstagram

A study has found that ticks infected with the Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria or Lyme disease, are more likely to survive our winters. Along with other factors such as climate change, urban development, and wildlife migration, the expanding tick population increases the risk of Lyme disease in people and dogs.
Protecting your dog against fleas and ticks year round is now even more important! #tickseason #fleaandtickprevention #fleaandtickseason #lymedisease
