New Year's Resolution for your pet #1:

Play with your cat for 15 minutes each day
Indoor cats especially benefit from interactive play! Try tossing their kibble individually across the floor for them to chase and eat.
Attach a favourite toy to a child’s fishing rod to practice trolling for your cat.
Teach your cat to play fetch.
Take the laser pointer out for some fast paced chase (not for dogs!!).

For our rabbit owning clients!

We still have vaccine spots left for our Comox Valley vaccine clinic.

It is very important to vaccinate your rabbit against RHDV as there is no cure. Even indoor rabbits can contract the virus.

The cost for the vaccine is $35 for the first bun, and $25 for each additional.

To reserve a spot please email [email protected].

Today is the last day before Christmas Eve. Remember that many people will be in a rush. Some people will be angry. We can never know what other people are thinking or experiencing and we can only be responsible for ourselves and our actions. Please keep the spirit of Christmas in mind, especially over the next few weeks.
