It is not uncommon for community cats to seek warmth under the hood of cars during the winter which can cause them serious injury when you start your vehicle. During these colder winter months, it’s best to knock on the hood or sound your horn before starting your engine.

Because of its sweet taste, antifreeze is unfortunately a common pet toxin in the winter. Be sure to look out for antifreeze spills around your car, driveway and garage and clean them up immediately. If you think your pet has ingested antifreeze, you should call your veterinarian or an emergency veterinarian right away.

As people may have more Vitamin D supplements in their home during the winter months, be sure to keep it out of reach of your pets. Vitamin D supplements are toxic to cats and dogs.

Take a look at the most common signs of Vitamin D poisoning (which can sometimes take hours to manifest). If you think your pet has ingested vitamin D, you should take them to your veterinarian or nearest emergency hospital right away.

If you’re headed out on a road trip this winter and taking your pet, be sure to never leave them alone in the car. When not running, cars hold in the cold like a parked refrigerator. If left alone, your pets can suffer from frostbite, cold stress, and hypothermia.

Our pets are our extended family! Therefore, it makes sense to want to bring them along for our adventures. 🚗

Make sure when travelling with pets that they are contained in a carrier or in a seatbelt. While some animals enjoy car rides others become nervous and scared. Playing soft music and laying a blanket over a carrier might help bring them some comfort.

Safe travels! 🐾

With the Holidays approaching, treats of all kinds are returning and even though they me be extra delicious to us, our four-legged family should refrain from indulging. If your pet ingests anything out of the normal, please do not hesitate to reach out to our veterinarian team & we will be happy to help! We offer lots of treats in clinic that are safe for your pets! Stop in and we can go over the options we have. 🐾🦴 #holidaytreats #fridayfacts #vetmed

Just a little video to show how much we LOVE our clients and how much we appreciate each and every one of you and your four-legged family members! Here at Castlegar Veterinary Hospital we love that no two days are the same; from surgery, to puppies, blood draws and everything in between we are so thankful for you allowing us to be a part of your pet's lives. Here's to you! You are PAWS-itively the BEST!

Dr.Zarn and Ashlyn attended the annual WVC Veterinary Conference this week in Las Vegas! This conference is one of the largest and oldest veterinary conferences; offering hundreds of educational opportunities from lectures and labs to drop-in learning sessions. We can’t wait to hear what they learned!!

Milly is back again this week with her snuffle mat! This is another great way to make food time fun! Especially for the super smart puppy in your life that may get bored eating out of a regular food bowl.

Little Miss Milly is incredibly smart. This week she wanted to show you her special button! It magically makes food appear in her bowl across the room!! Do you have a puppy genius like Millie?

Check out Milly, who is absolutely rocking her new winter boots! Although it takes some getting use to, boots are a great way to protect your dogs paws from salt and ice.

Just want to “PAWS” to wish you a Happy New Year! We will be closing today at 1 pm and re-open on Tuesday, January 3rd! See you in the New Year!
