🚨ATTENTION ALL DOG PARENTS🚨

The U.S. CDC (Center for Disease Control & Prevention) has recently announced some new requirements when travelling to the United States with your canine companion.

While the CFIA & ABVMA are still working to clarify with the CDC, we want to let everyone know that as of August 1, 2024 there will be NEW REGULATIONS regarding the travel/import of dogs into the United States.

At this time, any dogs entering the United States as of August 1st, 2024 while be REQUIRED to have:

⚫️ Dogs must be at least 6 months of age or older. Dogs under 6 months of age will not be allowed to cross the border.

⚫️All dogs must have an ISO Compliant microchip (If you are unsure if your pets microchip is ISO compliant please feel free to contact us and we will be happy to let you know!) and all of the information registered to the microchip MUST match the information listed on other documents. Ex: Vaccine or Health certificates.
**Please note that microchip information once registered by a veterinary practice, cannot be changed by the veterinary practice, any changes to information linked to microchips must be changed by the owner calling the microchip company OR (If available) logging into the microchip company’s online platform and updating information there. If you are planning to travel with your pets to the United States we HIGHLY recommend making sure you update all of your information (Phone numbers, addresses, owner names) with your current veterinary practice & microchip company ASAP**

⚫️ All dogs must appear healthy upon arrival

⚫️All dogs must have a CDC Dog Import Form Receipt (This form is the sole responsibility of the dogs owner(s) to fill out & submit online through the CDC website.)
*Please note that this form will not be available on their website until July 15th, 2024*
⚫️ Additional documentation, such as rabies vaccine status.
*Please note that in order for a rabies vaccination to be considered valid by the U.S CDC, the rabies vaccination must be done AFTER the ISO-compliant microchip has been implanted.

We appreciate your patience while we all continue to navigate these new requirements & do our best to keep all of our clients updated as we receive new information. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to email us at: [email protected]

New Friend Alert 🚨 🐾 Meet Finn! 🐾 - Adoption Opportunity 🐱

Looking for a purr-fect companion who’s both sweet and resilient? Look no further! Finn, a dashing 4-and-a-half-year-old feline, is ready to steal your heart.

Despite a few bumps in the road, Finn’s spirit remains unshaken. After undergoing a perineal urethrostomy surgery almost a year ago, he’s bounced back with grace and charm. Finn requires a special urinary/hypoallergenic diet to keep him feeling his best, but his loving nature makes the extra effort more than worth it.

Finn’s gentle demeanor knows no bounds—he’s a friend to all, from fellow felines to cuddly bunnies. He’s a true social butterfly, spreading joy wherever he goes. And when it comes to outdoor adventures, Finn is always up for a stroll on his leash, soaking in the sights and sounds of the world around him.

But perhaps Finn’s favorite pastime is simply being cozy and content. Whether it’s lounging in a sunny spot or curling up beside you for a snuggle session, he knows how to make every moment feel like pure bliss.

If you’re ready to welcome a furry friend who’s as loving as he is lovable, Finn is waiting to make your acquaintance — he’s sure to steal your heart with just one purr! 🐱💕

Spring has sprung and you know what that means! Tick season has arrived.

If you are planning on bring your pets along with you on an adventure involving long grass &tall brush, be sure to have prevention on board before hand! Ticks will sit themselves on tall grasses & shrubs waiting for your pet to walk by so they can attach themselves.

Did you know that ticks find their hosts by detecting your animals breath and body odors, or by sensing body heat, moisture levels, and vibrations??

If you have any questions or concerns about whether your pet should have tick prevention just give us a call or send us an email! We are happy to help!😊🌷☀️🐾

If you have any questions about dental procedures for pets, feel free to send us an email or give us a call!

Happy Halloween from GFPC!! This year we were a little sneaky and planned to dress up like everyone's favorite person... Dr. Nick! Our very own Liza even made some spooktacular awards which Dr. Nick himself presented. Can you spot all the different Nicks?? Some are a little bit tricky unless you know him as well as his team does! Thanks to all the clients that came in and laughed along with us! 😂💀👻🎃

🐾 Attention Pet Parents! 🐾

Dear valued clients,

We hope this message finds you and your furry companions in good health. Recently, we've noticed an increase in kennel cough cases among our beloved canine companions. While we're doing everything we can to ensure the well-being of all our visitors, we wanted to share some precautionary measures with you.

For the safety of your pets, we recommend avoiding dog parks and other highly dog trafficked areas for the time being. This will help minimize the risk of exposure and keep your furry family members happy and healthy.

If you have any concerns or questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. Your pet's well-being is our top priority, and we're here to support you in any way we can.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

-GFPC Staff💕🐾🌡️
