Friday Fun Fact:
Did you know that porcupines are excellent climbers? They often climb trees to find food and escape predators. So, if you're out for a hike with your dog this weekend, keep an eye out for these spiky climbers!

🦔 Porcupines and Dogs: What You Need to Know! 🐶

Our furry friends are excited to explore the great outdoors. But, there's one critter we need to be cautious of – the porcupine!

What to Watch Out For:
Quills – Porcupines have sharp quills that can easily become embedded in your dog’s skin.
Curiosity – Dogs are naturally curious and might get too close to porcupines, leading to quill injuries.
Nighttime Encounters – Porcupines are nocturnal, so keep an eye out during those evening walks.

What to Do if Your Dog Encounters a Porcupine:
Stay Calm – Panicking can cause more stress for your dog.
Do Not Cut the Quills – Removing quills incorrectly can cause them to break and make the situation worse.
Contact Us Immediately – Our clinic is here to help with safe quill removal and care.

Prevention Tips:
Leash Up – Keep your dog on a leash during walks in wooded areas.
Train Recall Commands – A strong recall command can prevent your dog from approaching wildlife.
Night Walks – Use a flashlight to spot porcupines before your dog does.
We care about your pets’ safety and well-being. If your dog has a run-in with a porcupine, don’t hesitate to call us at 780-987-5780.

Stay safe and enjoy the summer adventures! 🌳🐾

What to do on a cold rainy day? Cookie is keeping herself busy playing with a window teaser toy. 🐾💗

Tick Talk

March is national tick awareness month. Let’s start a conversation. #TICKTALK

This is a Great Dane named Lincoln. He weighs a whopping 167 pounds! He loves getting his treats when he comes to visit. We had to catch a slow mo of his mad skills 😆🐾

These ticks were found on a Great Pyrenees dog in the Spruce Grove and Rivervalley area on January 9th. Regardless of the cold temperatures they are still around. They will be sent to a laboratory for analysis. *Picture in comments*

Happy Holidays from our Veterinarians! 🎄☃️🎅

New ... Chuck It Flash LED Ball!!! Lucky Blaze got to check out the first one today 🐾 We will be stocking them after the Remembrance Day weekend. See the comments for details.

Cookie playing with her Food Tree today. She’s all recovered from her bladder stone surgery so she’s getting a bit spoiled 😺🐾

Cookie got a new catnip toy today! We did order it in to restock our shelves but she just loved it so much so we caved 💕

This is one of our clients giving the monthly Simparica Pill Flea & Tick Prevention to her Labrador Blaze. It’s as easy as giving a treat! Way to go Blaze! 🐾 🐜 You can set up email or text reminders for follow up doses at www.simparica.ca! #DVC #Tick #Flea #Simparica #TickAwareness

Toot Toot having some morning fun playing with his Kong Curlz Teaser wand. These kittens are almost 4 months old. Help us find them a home! 🐾🎄❤️

Two of our clinic's staff dogs; Blaze & Smash taking a break and cooling off in their very own doggie pool. Enjoy your day!

Another tick found this morning from an English Bulldog. It is tick season. Please contact the office for recommendations on tick prevention and control for the season.

*Update* This tick tested Negative for Lyme disease * Today a Elkhound dog from the Edmonton rural country area came in with a tick attached to the skin. The tick was feeding and fully engorged. Dr. Harris removed the tick with a proper removing tool and leveraged straight upwards so the ticks head came out of the skin and did not give the tick the chance to regurgitate its stomach contents. See the video below of the tick that was removed. We are sending it into the Government of Alberta to get tested for disease.
