This is a post from a client regarding a beloved pet in town:
"Hi, neighbours. I am creating this post on behalf of Patti Heideman, a Georgetown resident who has just tragically lost her brother, Mark Heideman. I'm sure we have all at one time or another seen the black and white small border collie named Karma with her blue Frisbee in her mouth walking with Mark around town. I believe Mark was killed in a car accident on March 3rd. Patti and Mark shared the care of a new dog named Huckleberry, again a border collie that Mark had the main responsibility for walking. Patti is looking for some good care for Huck, including walks. My understanding is that Mark would pick Huck up at her house around 12:30 in the afternoon and Patti doesn't arrive home from work until 5:00. I'm imagining they weren't walking that entire time, but Huck was getting a fair bit of exercise. Does anyone know of anyone who could help, either with sitting or walking?"
If anyone can help please message and we can pass along your contact information! Thank you 🙏

WHAT IS A HEALTHY DENTAL ROUTINE?
When dental care is neglected in our pets, they are at high risk for developing tartar, gum disease, foul breath, and other serious health problems such as heart disease, lungs illness, and kidney disease. Cats especially, may show no signs of discomfort, so prevention is important.
Daily brushing of your pet’s teeth daily is ideal. However, 2 to 3 times a week has been shown to still have a positive effect on fighting plaque and build-up.
Specially formulated dental care diets for your dog or cat will help support a healthy mouth. As well as dental chews and water additives.
Contact your veterinary team to discuss a professional cleaning and dental check up. They are recommended once or twice a year depending on your pet's dental needs.

It may no longer be fall... but this video still does apply, as we saw for the past 2 days we were above 4 degrees, so those pesky Ticks were out and active! If you do go for hikes, walk along a lot of brush, tall grass, near wooded areas, please keep your pets and yourselves safe with Tick protection for your pet. Just because it has snowed doesn't mean they are gone... they are laying low until those days that we get those warmer temperatures, or even hiding in warmth in the leaves even though it's 1 degree. Call or stop in to ask for more details.
