We're all excited about the upcoming July long weekend, well everyone except for our fearful pets that dread fireworks. Here are some great tips to get in place prior to the big event. If your previous efforts to keep your pet safe and fear free didn't do the trick, contact your veterinarian. They may be able to provide you with some medication to give your pet prior to the big event to help them relax.

Can you even imagine how uncomfortable it would be to have something squirming around in your ears 24/7?! 🫨 I think we can all agree that it would be AWFUL!
While it's more common in cats, dogs can have ear mites too. They are typically found in dogs that are outside most of the time.
Keeping your dog up to date on flea, tick, and heartworm preventatives year-round will protect him from ear mites.
If you suspect that your dog may have ear mites, it's important to take them to your veterinarian. Prescription medications are required to get rid of the ear mites and reduce the inflammation.

Fun Fact Friday!
Today we are going to debunk a cat myth. Most people believe that cats ALWAYS land on their feet, but this is not true.
Cats are incredible climbers, and because of their insane ability to correct their body position while in the air, called the cat righting reflex, some people think that a cat always lands on their feet. The truth is that they can only land on their feet when they have enough time to correct their body position while falling.

June is National Pet Preparedness Month!
We're all familiar with the phrase "“Hope for the best and be prepared for the worst” by Maya Angelou, the month of June is our reminder to do just that.
Disasters can strike often without warning which is why it is so important to have a plan in place to ensure our family, pets, and ourselves get out safely. Throughout the month we'll be providing you with tips and tools to do just that.
First up, some tips from our friends at Purina.

You might have to be a little purrr-suasive but stick with it and give your kitty a hug today. 😉

Yesterday, many of our MacTaggart Veterinary Clinic family gathered for our Spring Fling. This year we all agreed it would be nice to give back to the community, while enjoying each other’s company outside of the clinic. When helping a local animal rescue was brought up, everyone jumped on board immediately. We reached out to our friends at Zoe’s Animal Rescue, and they were more than happy to get on board. So MacTaggart’s Build a Habitat for Pets in Need was a go!
A special thank you goes out to Trish, John, and Elaine from Zoe’s for joining us and helping us to create these fabulous dog houses. These will provide some well-deserved pups some shade in the summer and warmth in the winter.
For more information on how to volunteer with Zoe’s Animal Rescue please check out their website https://www.zoesanimalrescue.org/volunteer/

Attention all cat owners...
You're baking or perhaps putting butter on your toast in the morning, and you turn your back for 2 seconds to return and find your cat is tongue first in the butter. 🙄
While butter is not toxic to cats, it's not good for them either. Depending on how much they eat, some cats can develop vomiting and diarrhea. It can also lead to gastroenteritis or even pancreatitis.
The odd lick here and there should be ok, but if they eat a larger amount or they start to show signs of discomfort, lack of appetite, or have vomiting/diarrhea for more than a day, you should contact your veterinarian.

Barking is a natural behavior for dogs, but when it becomes excessive, it can be annoying and alarming. It's important to understand WHY the dog is barking so it can be addressed appropriately.
** NEVER punish your dog for barking! Doing this will only temporarily pause the barking and can make the problem worse.
Positive reinforcement is a great way to train them when to not bark. Try redirecting their attention to a different command and rewarding them when they do so. This will distract them from barking and direct them to the more favorable action that rewards them with a treat.
Our friends at PetMd have created a great list of ways to help reduce your dogs barking:
🐾Increasing your dog’s amount of exercise and playtime
🐾Keeping a consistent daily schedule
🐾Ensuring your dog’s food and water needs are met
🐾Providing mental stimulation with puzzle toys or treat-dispensing toys
🐾Use positive reinforcement to teach your dog to ask for what they need quietly
🐾Buffer the outside by using privacy film and leaving on music or the TV to create white noise
For more tips and tricks to identify the cause of your dogs barking and how to address it, go to www.petmd.com.

With May being "Microchip Your Pet Month" it's equally important to make sure the contact information attached to the chip is up to date. If you move addresses, change phone numbers, or adopt a rescue, it's important that your contact information is current. If it is not, your chances of having your pet returned to you are about as good as not having a chip at all.
Here at MacTaggart Veterinary Clinic we currently use the company Insight Microchip and in the past we've also used EIDAP. If you're unsure of which company your pet is registered with, feel free to contact the clinic and we'll provide you with that information.

It was a BIG day for all of us MacTaggart! Introducing our newest patient… Wayne! This 4 month old sweet boy is absolutely purrrfect! He is a Maine Coon, which is a large breed of domestic cat. In addition to their large size, they are also know as having above-average intelligence. 😉 Welcome Wayne! We think you are just meowvelous and can’t wait to see the big handsome boy you’ll grow to be. 🥰 #bestpatientsever❤️ #mactaggartvetclinic #cats #mainecoon #purrrfectface
NOTE: This video is not suitable for anyone who is squeamish...... We had a sweet cat in today who has ear mites. This video shows some active mites that were living in this poor cats ears. Cats that are afflicted with ear mites will typically scratch at the ears excessively and shake their heads, even pulling out their own hair and drawing blood as they scratch. Just think of how uncomfortable this may be. 🙈 If you suspect that your cat may have ear mites, please don't hesitate to book an appointment. #mactaggartvetclinic #yegpets #petmd #earmites #itchy #cats #supportlocal #t6r #getemout #scratching
