🐾🌞 As temperatures rise, it's crucial to keep our furry friends cool and safe! Here are some tips to beat the heat:

Hydration is key: Always have fresh water available. Carry a portable water bowl on walks.

Shade and shelter: Ensure your pet has access to shade throughout the day, especially during peak sun hours.

Limit exercise: Opt for walks during cooler parts of the day, like early morning or late evening.

Cooling mats or vests: Consider using cooling pads or vests to help regulate body temperature.

Never leave in a parked car: Even with windows cracked, cars heat up dangerously fast.

Paw protection: Hot pavement can burn paws. Walk on grass or use booties.

Watch for signs of heatstroke: Excessive panting, drooling, rapid heartbeat—seek vet help if you suspect heatstroke.

Let's keep our pups cool, comfortable, and happy this summer! 🐶💦

Road trip with friends!

Are you planning on taking a road trip to the US? If so, take a moment to read the new guidelines below and give us a call if you have any questions.

The United States Center for Disease Control recently changed the requirements for all dogs entering the USA.

Starting on August 1, 2024 all dogs entering the U.S. (including those that left the U.S. and are returning, and regardless of the country they are coming from) must be:
• healthy upon arrival
• at least 6 months of age
• microchipped
• accompanied by a CDC Dog Import Form receipt and required vaccination and veterinary documents.

You may use CDC’s Q&A tool (the CDC “DogBot”) to determine what rules apply to your dog: https://www.cdc.gov/importation/bringing-an-animal-into-the-united-states/dogs.html

This “bot” will allow you to answer questions specific to the situation for which you are inquiring and offers that particular information. There is a great volume of explanation and time lines found here to be of assistance. From August 1, 2024, Onward: What Your Dog Needs to Enter the United States | Importation | CDC

This fashionista was a little offended with the baby scale... Her classy (and adorable) suspenders should have made her a candidate for the big dog scale.

Have you ever wanted to try a breeding synchronization program, but don’t want to run the cows through the chute multiple times? Contact us for information on the one shot sync program. 💉

A sneak peak of the Canal Flats Clinic on Thunderhill Road. This facility will satisfy all of your companion animal needs and will have a large animal ward. There will be a stock and stall for horses and a chute for cattle. There will also be a drive through trailer system for my farmers- no more backing up the trailer in the dark at 3am! The facility is specially designed to reduce stress on animals, clients and staff. Stay tuned for updates! ❤️

This poor puppy got a nasty bite on his muzzle which resulted in a fractured maxilla. With some sutures, pain control, love & time, he has made a wonderful recovery!! Fingers crossed his adult teeth now erupt without complications. 🤞🏻ps in the last photo it’s a suture on the roof of the mouth that has yet to fall out.

Being a cow dog is tough on the ol’ hips. Pictured: Rupert enjoying a session of acupuncture. Did you know acupuncture resets pain pathways? This results in greater force being required to cause discomfort.

One of my favourite times of the year. 🐮❄️💩
