WE HAVE EXCITING NEWS!!!

We are doing a BIG UPGRADE to our building next month! We are having brand new flooring installed!

While this is an exciting change, it does mean that we will have some interruptions to our service while the new flooring is installed. We will be CLOSED starting Thursday, December 12th at 8pm and will reopen Monday December 16th at 7:30am and will be closing at 5:00pm on Friday, December 27th.

We will also have very limited storage during this renovation. We are kindly asking that if you need food or medication for the month of December that you have it ordered by December 6th.

From December 20th - December 30th we will NOT be scheduling any surgeries.

Finally, the new flooring will be an epoxy resin so there will be potentially strong odours, dust and noise during the renovation. If you or your pet may be sensitive to these things, please make sure to have routine appointments booked prior to December 6th.

We hope you are as excited for this change as we are and thank you in advance for your patience during the reno!!

Sweet Indy was SPOOKY last night in his spider costume!! 🕷️We didn’t tell him we don’t actually see arachnids as patients!!

𝕊𝕝𝕠𝕨 𝕐𝕠𝕦𝕣 𝕊𝕔𝕣𝕠𝕝𝕝!!

Are you ready for a weight-loss SUCCESS STORY??

If you can believe it, these two photos are the same dog! With only a diet change, Hemi here lost 10kg (that’s 22lbs!!) in 6 months!!

We don’t often think about our pet’s few extra pounds affecting their quality of life, but they absolutely can! Just like us, overweight pets can suffer from decreased energy and sore joints, and are at increased risk for injury!

Think your pet is overweight?? Stop in or call to ask about our diet options!

Do you know fall is not just a common time for respiratory illness for people but also for your pets?

Change in weather, spending more time inside, turning on heat sources all lead to increased airborne dust, allergens and animals being in closer contact with one another spreading their germs can all lead to coughing, sneezing, runny eyes and generally being a little quiet. Kennel cough, kitty colds and seasonal allergies are common this time of the year.

Even if your pet is up to date on their vaccines, dogs and cats can still get respiratory illness. Like most people, they usually need time and a little TLC. However, they can develop more serious symptoms and need a trip to their veterinarian.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call!
